Video Transcript
- That's pretty well hit into left. Back at the wall. It is gone. Second of the night for Brandon Lowe.
JARED QUAY: Well, you can go ahead and forget about a short World Series. Last night in Game 2, the Rays got two big flies from Brandon Lowe.
- And a shot into left center. Back at the wall. It is gone.
JARED QUAY: A dominant start from Blake Snell to tie the Dodgers at one game apiece. Game 3's on Friday, so it's looking like baseball is close to the finish line. But football? COVID looks like it may be pushing back that goalpost. The NFL has considered a lot of options for finishing the season. And one of them was outlined by Packers President Mark Murphy.
MARK MURPHY: We could move the Super Bowl back as far as four weeks.
JARED QUAY: And I get why. Just yesterday, the entire Raiders offensive line was sent home after right tackle Trent Brown tested positive for COVID. Oakland's doing the right thing and playing it safe. But another player in the league thinks that he can beat the 'rona one-on-one.
ODELL BECKHAM, JR: I don't think it's going to enter this body. I don't want no parts of it. It don't want no parts of me. I think it's a mutual respect.
- It was mutual.
JARED QUAY: OBJ was out with an undisclosed illness, so it's good to see him back. But it's going to be way longer before he gets back to Tiger Stadium.
- Why?
JARED QUAY: Yesterday, LSU banned their former superstar from their team facilities for two years. Back in January, while celebrating the school's national championship, OBJ allegedly gave four players $2,000. Do you still say allegedly when it's caught on camera? That look guilty to me. The school is also set to lose eight scholarships. So basically, to punish OBJ, they'll give less money to student athletes. Seems about right Hey, man, OBJ has got to learn. Mistakes always catch up with you.
Speaking of, Antonio Brown is eligible to return to the NFL after week 8. And although his resume isn't in tip top shape, the Seattle Seahawks reportedly want to sign him. Yeah, probably cause him and Russ mixed it up in the off season. And look, with all this talk about OBJ, Antonio Brown, I know what you're thinking. What the hell is Terrell Owens up to? Well, we got you covered. Yesterday, Terrell Owens posted about an upcoming fight between Nate Robinson and Jake Paul. If you want to know who they are, one was a former NBA player, and the other was just some guy on YouTube.
- (SINGING) It's every day, bro, with the Disney Channel flow.
JARED QUAY: He's posting about that? I'm kind of worried about TO. And I'm worried about Nate Robinson, and Jake Paul, actually. You better be careful. Nate Robinson's short, but you know short people got hands, man. Short people are quick. They're naturally more angry, and they got more to prove, man. Think about it. One of the greatest generals of all time was Napoleon. And he was tiny, but he was dangerous. And actually, being taller really puts you at a disadvantage, because you're usually happy. I ain't never seen nobody over 6'5" frown. I don't know why, I've just never seen it. If you can find a picture of somebody over 6'5" frowning, send it to me on Twitter because it's probably Photoshopped.
