NEW YORK- (US OPEN)
Navarro and Pugula. Daughters of billionaires and you’d never know it.
I’m rooting for them both. Grinders and tenacious – they are both on the cusp, Pugula is favored, Navarro is not.
Both are New Yorkers. Navarro the city and Pugula upstate – Dad owns the Buffalo Bills. It’ll be amazing if the square off in Saturday’s Women’s Final.

England braces for Jack Draper on the Men’s side. I think he does it. If not, Sinner should and then the questions are about 2 failed drug tests will really begin. Ugh.

Tonight …
Baltimore in the lid lifter … 24-20.

“Honey Deuce” is the rage at the U.S. Open. The sales figures are staggering and the merchandise is off-the-charts!

Marketing at its finest!

I’m liking Brit Jack Draper on the Men’s side; Emma Navarro would be awesome on the distaff side.

Iowa State 23 Iowa 17

Texas 31 Michigan 23

Tom Brady in the booth will be the buzz Monday morning? Perhaps, but remember after Week 1 fans overreact to everything.

TB 12 has Dallas at Cleveland. The winning side will love Tom; losers not so much.

The EPL is so good. Man, I was late to this party because a deep-rooted bias against soccer.

Disney delivering a fatal blow to DirecTV by building their own collaborative Web streaming …

Direct now at 9 million subscribers from a high of 23 million is going the way a pay phone; soon, they will not exist.

Above is the screen at O’Hare / Chicago.

Customers are cranky.

No sports, news, weather etc.

Oh wait, it’s right on your phone with YouTube TV.

RIP DirecTV 9/2/2024

Caitlin v Angel Round 10 tonight in Chicago. Fever / Sky
Fever 🥵 hot – Caitlin goes off it says here …

Mets/ White Sox on the Southside?
Nah- can’t do it!

Giovanna Scroggins tonight on the show. What NFC team is more messed up than Dallas?
Easy answer: Philadelphia.

Juan Soto warming up to free agency and dare I say … the Mets.
He and Francisco Lindor are cautiously cozy.

Tiafoe and Shelton will be a gem today at US Open. Ben in 5 sets.

Cocco Gauff is a very tight spot today.
Alcaraz stumble a huge wake up call for the heavily favored.

Gaudreau tragedy is absolutely crushing. Colleague Brock Hines will weigh in the days ahead as he called many Boston College/ UMass Hockey games. Both Gaudreau boys taken away ever so cruelly by a drunk driver.

Football is here – for real !
Brock Hines weighs in tonight and his Media Takes are sharp and usually on point.

Tom Brady in the booth?
Can’t wait to hear. Brady? No, Brock’s take.

Deion and the Media. Ah, way too thin-skinned. This from a guy who dumped a bucket of ice water over Tim McCarver’s head.

North Dakota St. might just win outright tonight.

Giovanna Scroggins from Dallas tomorrow … Cowboys and Longhorns.
A rising star!

NEW YORK- Coco Gauff, just a tad slow in getting going, breezed in straight sets in her defense of her US Open Title. After a bumpy ride at the Summer Olympics, Gauff looks relaxed, yet her focus is back. Will be bummed if she doesn’t take her title defense to the finals.

So much for feel good college football talk. Armen Keteyian – an 11-time Emmy winner is on show today at 6:12p tonight … his new book leaves you realizing that college football is a monstrous cash cow and has only just begun.

New York- So, football starts up and baseball – just about everything else- gets put on the back shelf. Understandable. I figure this year, let’s do something different, something out of the box so to speak.

The U.S. Open. Tennis…It’s a MAJOR and everyone gets up for a MAJOR in any sport right? And it’s New York City.
The Yankees and the Mets have it going right now. The Mets are hitting the baseball, getting really strong pitching – David Peterson in particular.
The Yankees are healthy and finding their best stride after a roller coaster ride thru the bulk of the summer.

The Knicks and Rangers had banner years – but Championship banners is what they need to capture – really capture their fanbases. It might happen for both sooner than people think.

Football is a long, joyous ride. A 12 team playoff in College Football is a reality. The NFL is ALWAYS, ah, compelling…. Thrilling week in and week out.

Labor Day is upon us. The crispy air -sans the next 5 days – is refreshing.
Talk shows flow with an abundance of stories and content. Sports fans are juiced. Fantasy leagues are bursting and gaming revenue – like it or not – is setting records each year.

Do I say … Tennis anyone?
