Lizzo, the Olympics and a capsized ship…sounds like the start to a very interesting joke but alas, it’s what we’re talking about in today’s Weekend Preview.
It’s your lucky day,
The Last Night’s Game Team
College Football
All eyes will be on the Penn State – Ohio State game in Columbus, OH this weekend. All the big college football shows will be there including "ESPN College GameDay." Who won’t be showing up on set to cheer for their team on the set of the ESPN show? Ohio State Buckeye fans. They’re royally pissed about the on-air treatment their team has received. They've sent a plethora of tweets telling the show to stay home. YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO HOME BUT YOU CAN’T STAY HERE
One person who won’t be staying home is Ohio State’s star Chase Young who was suspended for two games for taking a "loan." The Heisman candidate will return to the field this weekend. DID THE TIME
Overtime
Grammy nominated Lizzo is an open book but one mystery that still remains unsolved is who exactly is that Minnesota Vikings (NFL – National Football League) player she’s referring to in her song "Truth Hurts?" Well Stefon Diggs of the Vikings is determined to find out. The list could be long as the song was released in 2017 so that player may not even be on the team any longer. MYSTERY MINNESOTAN
Sideline stat
U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team player Carli Lloyd showed off her skills as an NFL kicker in pre-season. She revealed that she turned down two offers to kick in the NFL, but she may pursue this newfound career opportunity after the 2020 Olympics. COUNTRY FIRST
Coaches’ corner
It’s the last official tournament of the PGA (Professional Golfers Association) Tour this weekend and while the seaside course is beautiful, there’s one thing wrong with the picture-perfect landscape. The backdrop of the Sea Island Golf Club’s Planation Course is a capsized cargo ship. Yes, off the shore is a giant cargo ship on its side in the water. The Golden Ray capsized on September 8 and is still there. In case you’re wondering the cargo is 4,200 cars. AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLES
What to watch
NHL (National Hockey League) players might be good at hockey but they really suck at naming Disney Princess. LAUGHING SO HARD
