In n Outs

7/6/22

Vacation=well needed. The kid=so back.

I hope everyone had a happy 4th of July to celebrate America’s birthday. I took a small hiatus spending time in Colorado moving into my house for school and playing in a tournament up in Vail (s/o Texas Forever). In this week, a lot of random shit has happened in the sports world. I came up with a system that’s gonna help evaluate what is IN and what is OUT in the sports world now.

IN: hot dogs. Joey Chestnut put the dawg in hot dawg. He is the most dominant athlete of all time, and that’s just in the facts. He’s won now 16 Hot Dog Eating Championships in 17 seasons, which is just fucking insane. Not only has he been a winner, he’s been dominating the competition. This last Mondy alone, Joey ate 15.5 more hot dogs then the second place winner, which is absolute domination. Not to mention, He won with crutches and a messed up foot along with taking down a protestor. Hot dogs=IN.

OUT: Football Conferences. USC and UCLA are joining the Big 10. What does that mean for the landscape of College Football? To be honest, I think it will grow the audience for areas where you don’t normally watch teams from the other side of the country. I don’t remember the last time I’ve watched a USC game out on the east coast, not including bowl games, so I think it’ll help grow nationwide attention to different teams. I do think College Football is headed towards a similar setup like the NFL, 2 conferences that will send a team each to the College Football super bowl. I think this will greatly impact recruiting to colleges. Players will want to commit to the best schools, not the ones in the middle of the pack because they will want to win and earn a lot of money through NILs. It won’t be like the NFL where there’s a draft, so having the best teams continuing to separate themselves among the rest is BAD FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL. Football Conferences=OUT.

OUT: The Stanley Cup. The parade happened this past Thursday, sorta marking the official end of the NHL season. I hope everyone prays for the Stanley Cup, because it looks like it has been taking an absolute beating in the few days leading up to the parade, and the few days after as well. As the season is done, I’m sad because I’m now stuck with either watching baseball or summer league basketball, so basically no sports. I’m counting down the days to the next season, and patiently waiting to watch Ovi score more goals from his office. The Stanley Cup=OUT

IN=NBA free agency. KD requested a trade from the Nets and nothing has come out of it other then buzz, predictions, and twitter rants from random people. I’m not saying I’m not another random person, and I’m also not gonna say I know what’s going on in the league or what’s gonna happen. I’ll just sit back and watch how the rosters line up for the start of the season. The NBA is the one pro sports league where the players are really the GMs at the end of the day, so what happens behind closed doors is beyond me. All I’ll say for KD is I hope he comes home and plays for the Wizards. Him with Bradley Beal I honestly think would be very fun to watch, and him being on the Wizards automatically makes them a lock for the playoffs. NBA free agency=IN.

So that’s about it in the sports world for now. We’re officially past the 4th of July, so I now consider it the dog days of summer. No more real sports that are fun to watch, so find a good TV show everyone, and binge that because Hard Knocks and preseason NFL isn’t here yet.
