That One Sports Show show

Summary: <h2>People That Had a Good Week</h2> <ul> <li> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Rookie QBs</span> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Deshaun Watson: 15/24 179yds. 24yds rush. 1 rush TD</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mitchell Trubisky: 18/25 166yds 1 TD. 38yds rush.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Deshone Kizer: 11/18 184yds 1 TD. 12yds rush.</span></li> </ul> </li> <li> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Giancarlo Stanton hit his 250th homerun, now at 42</span> <ul> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aaron Judge 35, Cody Bellinger 34</span></li> </ul> </li> </ul> <h2>Usain Bolt gets injured in last race ever</h2> <p>While finishing up his last event ever and his last race ever, Usain Bolt came up lame with a hamstring injury. It was sad to see him go out this way and some former sprinters weren’t particularly nice about it. Justin Gatlin stayed true to form, reminding everyone that Bolt was still the best ever.</p> <h2>Rick Flair in medically induced coma?</h2> <p>Little is known about the whens or why’s but one thing’s for sure, he is in the IC-Woooooo.</p> <h2>Tiger’s Cock…tail.</h2> <p>Tiger Woods is full of a lot of things and last May he was full of five different drugs during his DWI. Xanax, Ambien and THC were just a few. Woods checked into a facility in June to address his problem and has now checked out of that program saying he’s been able to kick his habit. Let’s hope it holds.</p> <h2>Ice Cube Shuts Lavar Down</h2> <p>This past week Ice Cube was able to do something no one else has been able to do by themselves and that is make Lavar Ball look foolish. It took place in a 4-point shooting contest where Lavar looked like he hadn’t shot a basketball since his illustrious 2-point average college career. Mr. Cube had bet Ball that he could win and promised to buy 10 pairs of the most expensive Baller Brand shoes if he failed. Free publicity and a chance to sell shoes? That’s a win-win-win for Lavar.</p> <h2>Important Standings</h2> <p>With all the sports happenings around the United States and World, here are the standings that are nearest and dearest to our hearts.</p> <ul> <li><b>Columbus Crew 11-12-2 – (Just beat Chicago 3-1.)

Why? Rumor has it that in 1980 the owner of a local pub, Gordon Green, overheard two patrons arguing over whether a man could beat a horse in a marathon. Well, there was only one way to find out.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">400 runners,50 horses racing over 22 miles at LLanwrtyd Wells in Wales. Runners have a 15 minute head start then the horses start in pursuit. The route is tortuous, hills, streams, bogs and forestry tracks. At the halfway point, all the horses are vetted and held until their heart rate is below 64bpm. The race can be won and lost at this point. </span></p> <p>A human has won several times with the fastest finishing at 2 hours 5 minutes and change. For reference</p>
