As the summer nears a close, the kids are gearing up for a return to school and the 2014 NFL season is around the corner, I’m getting excited for a return to sports excitement. Truth be told, the summer is a time of rest from most sports. When the fall hits, professional sports hits a high gear as the NFL, NHL and NBA seasons are set to return.
Let’s not forget that Major League Baseball is entering its final month of the regular season. College football kicked off this weekend, and we also had the start of the FIBA World Cup of Baskeball. I can’t wait for a busy and exciting sports season.
The theme for this week was the Super Deals signed by a number of big time sports names.
Now let’s get to our weekly look at the week in sports, in a word of course.
Glen Taylor – Hypocrite
Michael Sam – Almost
Alex Smith – Bonanza
Team USA Basketball – Tested
Ray McDonald – Arrested
James Harrison – Retired
Adrian Peterson – Dallas?
Doc Rivers – Money
Kevin Durant – Nike
NHL – Expansion?
That’s a wrap for this week. August is in the books and Smith, Durant, and Rivers are all set to get paid for a long, long time.
Now that September is here though, are you ready for some… football?
