Everyone loves to make fun of the NFC South until they’re on the wrong of a Baker-less Tampa beatdown on a weird Thursday night. Everyone is this division is insane. Best to just avoid this division if you can.

ULM women’s soccer halftime includes people in bubble soccer suits doing a modified Oklahoma drill and a fastest fan race on the track. This is what the Super Bowl could be if they took things seriously. Also this broadcaster should have an Emmy.

Always exciting to see the nation get its annual reminder about how much the Falcons and Saints fanbases want to vaporize each other. Again, this isn’t new. Just because you see it on social media doesn’t mean they woke up and decided to hate for your entertainment.

Not sure if you risk it with Kerr for the third but he got you through the top of that lineup cleanly AND gave you the shutdown inning after the home run. Absolutely massive 6 outs to set the tone.

The only that makes tense and chaotic playoff baseball better is the fact that MLB is so determined to play it at 2pm local time for one of the most active rivalries in the sport. Good job, MLB.

I had wondered if Atlanta would go with a more ‘non Atl’ name but it’s fine. Logo and color scheme are fun and different. Excited to see what they do with it. It’s flexible. I know everyone loves to dump on damn near everything but yall, they did not BOS Nation this up.

Fun fact: a year ago tonight, Sergi Solans played 90 minutes for UCLA in a match against Indiana. 365 days later, he's got 15 goals in all competitions in MLS and is the 6th super draft player to score double digits in his first season out of college. #RSL

Sergi on the finish to get on the scoresheet, said he's not sure what helped, perhaps his parents (who were in the building tonight) "I think the key is to just keep working...that is the key that brought me here"
