Are You Feeling Some Post-World Cup Tristesse?

I think I said it somewhere in the comments but John Oliver’s advice to those whose interest has been piqued suggested that they, “Pick a team, follow them, and let it dominate your life in an unhealthy way.” Oh look, he’s describing 90% of sports fans all around the world.

What do have I for you today? Not very much.

Stop Being Weird, WNBA:

There were a couple of players left off the 3 point shooting contest at the all-star weekend and there is considerable grumbling. Sophie Cunningham and Sabrina Ionescu are on the outside looking in. The former is a viral social media sensation (I’ve been told) that would attract eyeballs with the added caveat that she’s currently sitting 2nd in the shooting from distance stat. The latter is a legend and the defending champion. Why does the league keep tripping over itself?

Pavia Hits The Pavement:

Diego Pavia did a rare thing and made Vandy football relevant for a second, finished 2nd in Heisman voting and followed that up by not being drafted. Welp, the Ravens got a closer look at the undrafted free agent and let him loose. Working against him was his height, 5′, 10″ and his advanced age of 24. (the horror) What I’m trying to say is that those playing CFL fantasy should have him on their radar.

Over The…You Know:

Tyreek posted some workout vids and stated that his repaired leg/knee is nowhere close to being ready. “The Cheetah” relied on razor sharp cuts and breakaway speed but now he’s 32 and staring at his Odell Beckham Jr. years.

Steer Clear of Cleveland:

That’s pretty much always solid advice but I’m talking to fantasy folks out there looking to grab a Browns wr in the later rounds on a flyer. Over the course of a 17 game season the entire room caught 4(!) TD passes. Look away.

Sports Tonight:

I don’t know and I don’t care.
