Welcome to this week's In Case You Missed It!

A quick review of this week in sports


  1. Weekly Sandy Alcantara update: still the best pitcher in baseball
  2. The XFL is back! Again… again. 
  3. Vegas, Seattle, Orlando, St. Louis, San Antonio, Arlington, Houston & DC. 3 texas teams huh? 
  4. Fun fact: no active nba player has ever faced the kings in the playoffs 
  5. 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
  6. Abolish Angel Hernandez 
  7. Prayers to John Metchie!
  8. 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
  9. Kylers contract requires “4 hours of independent study time” lol that’s short (no pun intended) for our QB doesn’t watch film 
  10. Those New Soldier field renovations are amazing 
  11. Pistons brought back their green throwbacks!! They’re perfect!
  12. 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 
  13. Chris Carson retiring from the NFL is sad. Injuries are a real mf 
  14. Julio signing with Tampa… that offense will be terrifying for 3 games
  15. Mike Thomas won’t be on PUP long. WR1 is back and the league should be concerned 
  16. 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
  17. Saints signed Malcom Brown for RB depth. God help us 
  18. It’s only Tuesday… how about the news take chill pill eh? 
  19. Mike hates Jeff Duncan 
  20. Mike Trout diagnosed with a rare back condition. The baseball Gods are cruel 
  21. Yankees trade for Andrew Benintendi. The rich get richer 
  22. George Pickens is going to be the next great Steelers wide receiver. Book it
  23. 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
  24. Eli Apple getting embarrassed by Chase in camp. Seems like they’re both in mid season form 
  25. DK Metcalf getting his new deal before Drew Lock tanks his stats is a brilliant move
  26. And just like that, Kyler’s study clause is removed from his contract. I guess public ridicule can lead to anything 
  27. It was a hell of a run kwon!!
  28. 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
  29. 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 
  30. Here come the Mariners 
  31. 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!

Pelicans @ Nuggets Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 30, 2025
Team Stats (Pelicans at Nuggets) Final Score: 88-122 Rebounds: 36-57 Assists: 17-40 Steals: 9-5 Blocks: 3-5 Turnovers: 12-14 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 21; Nikola Jokić, 21 Rebound Leaders: Trey Murphy III, 7; Nikola Jokić, 12 Assist Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 6; Nikola Jokić, 10 My Player of the Game: Jeremiah Fears Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The starters for this game were Fears, Murphy III, Jones, Zion, and Deandre Jordan. So that was different, and it didn't work at all. * With most of the third quarter over, Zion had five total points in the game. He finished with 11. * The Nuggets went on a 32-4 run in the third quarter. The Pelicans came out very slow to start off the third. * New Orleans went 7-of-33 from the three-point line. * Nikola Jokić had a triple-double. The Pelicans had no answer for him all night. * Do the Pelicans know that the season has started because the majority of the guys out there look like they still think they're playing Summer League. * The problem with this team isn't the talent because they have that. So what's the problem? Coaching, effort, etc.? This has to be fixed ASAP. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.

Celtics @ Pelicans Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 28, 2025
Team Stats (Celtics at Pelicans) Final Score: 122-90 Rebounds: 54-35 Assists: 25-17 Steals: 5-7 Blocks: 7-0 Turnovers: 11-13 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Anfernee Simons, 25; Jordan Poole, 22 Rebound Leaders: Neemias Queta, 11; Yves Miss, 7 Assist Leaders: Payton Prichard, 8; Trey Murphy, III, 5 My Player of the Game: Jordan Poole Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The first two losses of the season were tough but at least the team looked good. In this game, no one looked fired up to compete except Jordan Poole and Jose Alvarado. * Zion did not play because he's been spending all offseason getting in shape just so he could rest after two games. Makes no sense to me. * Trey Murphy and Herb Jones need to find their spark and stride. These guys have been putting in a ton of work in the offseason but it isn't showing right now. * Willie Green has got to be on a short leash because this 0-3 start feels like the team is just picking up where they left off except this time they're healthy and have all the momentum in the world. * The next three games for the Pelicans will be on the road against Denver, Clippers, and Thunder .
