This was a great sports weekend. There wasn’t just sports played there was also a lot of new made. The NBA was full of drama, NFL featured great comebacks and shocking wins and there was a no-hitter in MLB. Check out a few quick hits to get you caught up:
The Bucks’ Checkbook is Open: The Milwaukee Bucks met with Giannis Antetokounmpo to let him know that they will go into the luxury tax to get him the help he needs to win a championship. They are going all-in on Giannis and some players who can create their own shot and complement Giannis will be paid well this off season. Stay tuned…
Tom Brady Struggles: Arizona Cardinals Coach Bruce Arians delivered some harsh criticism towards new QB and future hall of famer Tom Brady. Brady had two interceptions including a pick-6. Brady isn’t used to his coach criticizing him in public, but maybe this tactic by Arians will get Brady to play with grit and determination which Arians expects.
Game 7 in the West: The Denver Nuggets forced a game seven against the LA Clippers. Is there something wrong with the Clipper like many suspect? Paul George still thinks they are in the driver’s seat, but they haven’t been able to flip the switch yet in a closeout game against the Nuggets. So although I picked them to win this series, confidence level is not sky high.
Everyone Isn’t Buying the NFL’s Social Justice Campaign: Eric Reid tweeted: What the
@NFL is doing is half-hearted at best. @nflcommish has gotten comfortable saying he “was wrong” as if his mere acknowledgement reconciles his admitted wrongdoing. He hasn’t even called Colin to apologize, let alone reconcile, proving this is only PR for the current business climate. As such, Roger Goodell uses video of Colin courageously kneeling to legitimize their disingenuous PR while simultaneously perpetuating systemic oppression, that the video he’s using fights against, by continuing to rob Colin of his career. It’s diabolical.
