Welcome to this week's In Case You Missed It!
A quick review of this week in sports
- Weekly Sandy Alcantara update: still the best pitcher in baseball
- The XFL is back! Again… again.
- Vegas, Seattle, Orlando, St. Louis, San Antonio, Arlington, Houston & DC. 3 texas teams huh?
- Fun fact: no active nba player has ever faced the kings in the playoffs
- The Celtics have emerged as a team trying to trade for KD. Question is: would he agree to go there? Lol couldn’t say that with a straight face
- Abolish Angel Hernandez
- Prayers to John Metchie!
- NFL+ is here. Just another streaming service to confuse everyone. Is the cable bundle about to make a comeback because these streaming costs are getting out of hand
- Kylers contract requires “4 hours of independent study time” lol that’s short (no pun intended) for our QB doesn’t watch film
- Those New Soldier field renovations are amazing
- Pistons brought back their green throwbacks!! They’re perfect!
- MLB trade rumors starting to heat up. Can’t wait to see the best players on the market somehow find their way to the Yankees or Dodgers….. baseball
- Chris Carson retiring from the NFL is sad. Injuries are a real mf
- Julio signing with Tampa… that offense will be terrifying for 3 games
- Mike Thomas won’t be on PUP long. WR1 is back and the league should be concerned
- Dennis Allen says Taysom’s role will be similar in that he’ll still get SOME snaps at QB, and uneducated fans will scream that that’s a bad idea
- Saints signed Malcom Brown for RB depth. God help us
- It’s only Tuesday… how about the news take chill pill eh?
- Mike hates Jeff Duncan
- Mike Trout diagnosed with a rare back condition. The baseball Gods are cruel
- Yankees trade for Andrew Benintendi. The rich get richer
- George Pickens is going to be the next great Steelers wide receiver. Book it
- There’s a clause in Zion’s contract that says he has to keep the sum of his weight and body fat percentage under 295. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that before
- Eli Apple getting embarrassed by Chase in camp. Seems like they’re both in mid season form
- DK Metcalf getting his new deal before Drew Lock tanks his stats is a brilliant move
- And just like that, Kyler’s study clause is removed from his contract. I guess public ridicule can lead to anything
- It was a hell of a run kwon!!
- I saw that pic of Derrick Henry in the Eddie George tank top. I’m still not convinced Derrick Henry is a real person. Good lord
- Shohei was asked about potentially being traded. Let’s just take a minute and think about the absurdity of the potential haul that would require. The biggest haul in sports history
- Here come the Mariners
- Aaron Judge needs to be urine tested IMMEDIATELY this is getting out of hand
Well, that was the week in the sport's universe! In case you missed it, I hope you're all caught up now. See y'all next week.
A quick share helps us a lot!
Drew Brees will always be my quarterback. He was the quarterback when I first made the Saints my favorite team as a child and the only quarterback to bring a Super Bowl to New Orleans. Drew Brees is the embodiment of an underdog. Drew never was the biggest or the strongest or the fastest on the football field. But what Drew did was maximize every god given talent he had and a deep desire to win. But not just for himself, win for those around him and those who believed in him. We all put our hopes and dreams into the Saints and their quarterback because we finally had someone worthy to carry those aspirations to the promise land. Drew showed all of us year after year he was meant to be in the Hall of Fame. Everything he did was with intention and a high level of detail so he can be the absolute best he could be so he can take the Saints where they needed to go. Take your pick of what statistics Drew had during his career which proved and showcased his talent. My favorite is the record for most seasons with a completion percentage of 70% or higher. Drew’s accuracy was second to none during his career. The amount of times we watched Drew carve up a defense with his precision was what made him so entertaining to watch every week. I don’t think you can think of Drew Brees and not think of all the times he threaded the needle on a touchdown throw in the red zone to guys like Marques Colston or Lance Moore. You just knew on any given Sunday Drew could do something special and lead the team to a victory. The fact he was able to lead a team with one of if not the worst defenses of all time to a 7-9 record of itself was amazing. Amazing is just one of the many adjectives you can use to describe Drew Brees but when you lump them all together you get greatness. Greatness of his level is something you don’t get to see too often but man is it special to watch and appreciate when you have it. I think we all knew that when we watched him play but now that we’re here on the verge of him being enshrined I can say this with absolute certainty. There will probably never be another quarterback to play for the Saints who means as much to the city of New Orleans and Saints fans as Drew Brees. He’s our greatest champion and a perfect example of a first ballot hall of fame quarterback. The legend of Drew Brees will live on forever in Canton, Ohio right where we all knew it would.
