- Fly ball, right center, deep. Got a chance. 500. Miguel Cabrera has done it.
JARED QUAY: Miguel Cabrera just did something that only 27 other baseball players have ever done. He hit his 500th home run on Sunday against the Blue Jays.
- Holy moley.
JARED QUAY: Cabrera's in his 19th season. And he's closing in on 3,000 hits. So be warned, his assault on the record books is far from over. Speaking of assault, we seem to be in the middle of a crisis with sports fans all over the world unable to keep themselves from beating the hell out of each other. And not just each other, they're going after athletes, too.
- And the Nice fans have come down and they want a little bit of [INAUDIBLE].
JARED QUAY: Yes, that was fans from a city named Nice, spelt like nice, storming the field and getting the match-up Marseille halted. Believe me, the irony is not lost. So clearly, this is France's malice at the palace.
The only question is, can we chalk this up to pent up quarantine energy? People have been at home so long that they've forgotten how to act in public. Speaking of which, COVID ain't over, people.
Mike Vrabel knows that all too well. The Titans head coach has caught the VID, which is short for COVID in case you didn't know. He's currently in quarantine and following the NFL's COVID procedures. So that's good.
You know what might not be so good? Vrabel came into close contact with Bucks quarterback and all around GOAT contender Tom Brady.
[SCREAMING]
And I'm saying it right now. I don't think Tom Brady could catch the rona. That man has superhuman genes, all right?
I heard if you inject some of his blood in your body, you can be cured from all kinds of diseases. You can't get COVID. You can't get chicken pox. You can't get road rage. And you'll never be sunburned again. If you put Tom Brady's blood in your skin, you turn golden.
