Lets Jump Into it!

NBA -
Giannis Antetokounmpo wins Back to Back MVPś along with DPOY becoming the only other player in NBA History other than Michael Jordan to win both titles in the same year.
Giannis had 85 1st place votes and 16 2nd place votes with LeBron with 16 1st place votes and 84 2nd place votes. I thought it was a lot closer a race, but looking at how the votes broke down LeBron had no chance. Do you think the Covid Break killed LeBrons chances to win the MVP?

Playoffs -
Clippers give up a 3-1 series lead to the Nuggets to lose, 4-3. The most EPIC collapse. No one has ever come back from not 1 but 2 series on the cusp of elimination to beat the jazz and then the Clippers. Both times they were the HEAVY underdog, both times they came back and did not go quietly into the night.
Nuggets look to keep that drive going against the #1 team in the NBA, the TRUE Los Angeles… LAKERS! Snoop dog came out and replied to the nuggets players saying they are going to take out the lakers… ¨Snoop said Lakers in 5, we aren't the clippers sit down.¨ … Sir Charles said he would put every dime he has on the Lakers, after choosing The Blazers in the first round.

Miami Heat are up 2-0 over the Celtics with game 3 Saturday - Will Miami sweep? Or will the Celtics make a run and make things interesting?
If the Heat go to the ship, and the lakers do as it looks like they will, LeBron will be playing the team he won his 1st Championship with with the team he feels will end his career with.

LAKERS - Took Game 1 - 126-114
James was named to his 16th All-NBA team, breaking a tie with Kobe, Duncan and Kareem.

NFL -
The Browns came out SWINGING!! Granted… they beat the Rookie lead Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals did make it interesting in the end putting up 30 points but fell shy of the Browns who had an offensive breakout game for 35 points.
Fantasy breakout - Kareem Hunt had 1 rushing TD and 1 Rec TD racking up more then over 100 yards and out playing Nick Chubb. Chubb did have a solid outing with 124 yards rushing capped off by 2 rushing TDś.

Rams and WR Robert Woods agree to a 4 year deal with $32m guaranteed. It is worth a Max Payout of $68M! He will be under team control till at least 2025. He is coming off a 105 yard game in the Win against my Cowboys. Good for the Rams?

C.J. Anderson is retiring after 7 years in the NFL at age 29 to pursue a career in coaching. Through his 7 years in the NFL he had 1 Pro Bowl and a SuperBowl championship with the Broncos while rushing 234 yards and 2 touchdowns in the 3 playoff games during that run. He was never an ¨Elite” running back but he was a key player for some good teams and played in 2 Super Bowls, which not many players can who have played the game can say.

Joe Buck finds out during the Thursday Night game that he is this years recipient of the Pete Rosell award and will be joining his Father Jack Buck in Canton Ohio as the 1st ever Father-Son to be enshrined into the HOF. Last years Superbowl was 50 years since the Cheifs had been to the Ship, but also the only Superbowl Jack Buck ever called, 50 years later Joe Buck called the Chiefs Superbowl Win.

Fantasy News -
TE George Kittle out for week 2 with a knee injury. Will this linger throughout the season or do you think he will be back at it in week 3?
WR Kenny Golladay has been officially ruled out for Sundays game against the packers.

MLB -
Albert Pujols hits HR 661 and 662 passing the great Willie Mays on the All Time Home Run list. Making him 5th all time.
The Playoff Picture is getting clearer with 3 teams getting their tickets punched into the postseason. The Dodgers was the first team to solidify their place in the tournament, with the White Sox and Rays also punching their tickets later on in the week.
Yankees hit 13 home runs in 2 games!! The Bronx Bombers are back! But is it too late? Or are they going to make it into the postseason?

We also have a NEW NL HR leader on a team that actually matters, Mookie Betts hit his ML Leading 16th HR.
