[CHEERING]
- Shake it up!
JARED QUAY: Aces star A'ja Wilson was busy Tuesday morning prepping for the team's 5:30 PM WNBA Championship Parade.
- How did she do that?
JARED QUAY: A'ja was looking for a Four Loko at 8:00 AM Pacific time. Which is usually a cry for help, but when you won a WNBA championship, you got to let your thing slide. And the formerly banned adult beverage entered the frickin' call! So you know the Aces were--
- (SINGING) Ready to party.
JARED QUAY: And party they did, along with thousands of people taking over the Las Vegas strip to celebrate the city's first ever pro team sports championship.
- If you ain't got [INAUDIBLE], you gots to go.
- A'ja rapping today. She said if you ain't on a strip. Ya got to dip.
- What's good?
- [INAUDIBLE] all around the world talk about it!
[CHEERING]
- [INAUDIBLE] the glass.
- I'm super blessed to be here. I thank you all for showing up. Because at the end of the day, representation and showing up counts.
JARED QUAY: Now, not everything in the sports world was as wholesome as the Aces partying their asses off in Las Vegas.
- Uh-oh.
JARED QUAY: Bills guard Bobby Hart will serve a one game suspension for allegedly punching a Titans coach in the head.
- What had happened was--
JARED QUAY: Hart apparently went after a Titans player in the tunnel following Buffalo's Monday Tonight Football victory over Tennessee. And when he swung at the player, his punch landed on the coach instead.
- Oops.
JARED QUAY: Fans aren't behaving any better these days, with someone allegedly smacking Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray after Arizona's win in Las Vegas. And Browns owner Jimmy Haslam was hit with a bottle thrown by a fan in Cleveland after the Browns lost to the Jets.
If I know one thing, it's this. You can mess with the players, but you best not come for the owners! Security jumped in and identified the fan, and immediately offered him a contract to play quarterback.
- It's a joke.
JARED QUAY: In all seriousness, the fan was identified in charging multiple offenses including assault. Which is pretty rich considering the Browns starting quarterback is serving a suspension for more than half of this season for allegations of assault.
- Makes perfect sense.
JARED QUAY: And I don't want to get fired, so I'm just gonna stop right there because I really love this job. But you know there's a joke there. But other than that, we should talk about Eli Manning, because Eli Manning is always a fun topic. You can't get fired for talking about Eli Manning, everybody's smiling. Even when he's bad, you smile.
