[INAUDIBLE]
- Break the table!
- Let's go, [INAUDIBLE]. Let's go!
[LAUGHTER]
JARED QUAY: It's finally time to unchain ears and do as the rapper Future once said and mask off.
[MUSIC - FUTURE, "MASK OFF"] Mask off.
Take your mask off or whatever he said. According to the CDC, people vaccinated against COVID-19 can go without mask in most places. But this doesn't mean that coronavirus is just magically disappear. The New York Yankees announced on Thursday that shortstop Gleyber Torres tested positive for the virus for the second time.
- Like times 2? Twice?
JARED QUAY: He previously tested positive back in December and has also been vaccinated, becoming the eighth member of the Yankees to test positive for the virus this week. Which in other words means, Mike Ford might have to put the team on his back.
While COVID ravages the Yankees organization, Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley, judging by some very questionable tweets, doesn't seem to believe that everyone should get vaxxed. And if this is indeed true, you know Josh Allen's somewhere screaming, that's my receiver! That's my receiver! Yo, maybe they can go by the unvaxxed bros, which has a terrible ring to it, especially for a team whose GM said he might cut unvaxxed players if need be. The unvaxxed bros would also be a terrible example for bills fans, who now must be vaccinated in order to attend home games in 2021. So as long as you get the shot, Bills Mafia, you can get back to suplexing each other through tables again. And that's right up there with free fries and free lottery tickets, right?
Speaking of crowded stadiums, how much would you pay to see Tom Brady's first trip to Gillette Stadium since leaving the Patriots? Well, you better be prepared to sell everything you own, take out a second mortgage on your house, and sell your soul. Not literally. Right now the cheapest ticket is currently going for over $1,000. $1,000 for regular season game, and you don't even know who you're rooting for. You want Brady to do well, but also you want your team to win. Bad investment. Some say it's going to be the biggest regular season ticket in history, and I say, I'd rather be sitting at home on my beanbag couch with the heat on 75 watching the game on my 4K and investing that $1,400 in Dogecoin, so I can buy the Patriots and the Bucs in 10 years. It's going to go up that high.
And finally, there's McLovin from the movie "Superman," and then there's McGriffin, known by many as Blake Griffin. The Nets forward paid homage to the "Superbad" star by customizing a pair of Air Jordan 35s with his own spin on the McLovin fake ID.
- You changed your name to McLovin?
JARED QUAY: If you look closely, the McGriffin ID features Blake's actual height, weight, and date of birth, which is a little different than Fogell's fake ID.
- Number two, it doesn't even have a first name. It just says, McLovin!
JARED QUAY: It doesn't look like they have plans to put them on the sneakers app either, but let's be honest, all right. If they were on the app, you're still not going to land them anyways, because it's rigged. You know it's rigged. Don't go on the sneakers app, because they just playing with you. Get your hopes all high up in the early mornings, and you not going to get them shoes.
