#2 New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is not surprised that he won the starting job for the Patriots saying “Not really. Like I always say, I prepare to be the starter. I got a chance to get a lot of reps. Nothing really changes.”

#4 Jessica turning to baseball, Former St Louis Cardinal and current Los Angeles Dodger Albert Pujols had a memorable evening hitting his career 679th home run against his former team on Tuesday night to a standing ovation.
