European Super League looks like a memory as fans, players, managers, governments, and sponsors alike were up in arms about the money grab (image from The Sports Chief)

On Headline Sports podcast with Jessica:

#1 Jessica, talk about the proposed European Super Soccer League an idea that was hatched but failed. It would have taken 12 of the richest teams in professional sports and made them an exclusive league. It was a venture hatched by American business billonaires who thought of the idea and they would make a lot of money out of it.

#2 The European fans who are pretty sophisticated politically once they caught win of the idea they proactively protest in the streets outside of their local stadiums, even surrounding team buses and hanging banners against the Super League idea.

#3 There are some players in Major League Baseball who just unstoppable and the New York Mets (9-8) pitcher Jacob deGrom is one of them on Friday night against the Washington Nationals (8-11) he struck out 15 hitters and improved his batting average to .545 helping his own cause with two hits and an RBI.

#4 The red hot Oakland A’s (14-8) cooled off with a loss to the Baltimore Orioles Sunday 8-1. Previously they were tearing up the American League and won two of the first three games against the Orioles. Their 13 game win streak came to end in Baltimore. The A’s have been getting great starting pitching and the bullpen has either held opponents to a minimum amount of runs or just shutting them out for wins.

#5 The New York Yankees (9-12) who are fourth in the American League East they have won three of their last four games after losing six straight games. During the six game losing streak they just were getting the key hitting which recently looks like they’ve turned that around.

Headline Sports with Jessica Kwong podcast: NFL is trying their best to enforce wearing masks but it’s not working; Will Morris stay on as Falcons head coach?; plus more

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Raheem Morris the interim head coach at the Atlanta Falcons has turned the team around winning three of their last four games after going 0-5 the question will he get noticed after many black coaches have been turned down for head coaching jobs in the NFL? (file photo from the Atlanta Falcons)

On Headline Sports with Jessica:

#1 Another high profile name landed on the Covid 19 list for this week when Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger tested positive on Tuesday. The NFL says they’ve done their very best warning players about wearing masks which they have not.

#2 The Dallas Cowboys and the Steelers were involved in a post game scrum exchanging pleasantries after last Sundays’ game and now it was reported that four players on the Steelers including Roethlisberger have Covid 19.

#3 Atlanta Falcons (3-6) head coach Raheem Morris inherited the job after former head coach Dan Quinn was fired after the Falcons started the season at 0-5. After taking over the team Morris won two straight games before losing last Sunday. Morris was the former defensive coordinator before taking over as head coach and there is worry that Morris who is a black head coach might not get a second chance in the NFL if he doesn’t turn the Falcons around for the rest of this season. Second chances for black head coaches in the NFL are rare.

#4 Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rogers has questioned whether or not the NFL is really following Covid 19 protocols based on the science. One issue that was brought up is up can dap it up after a game with teammates and opponents but you can’t sit down and have lunch with them.

#5 The Las Vegas Raiders (5-3) after their latest victory against the Los Angeles Chargers in a narrow close game are vying for their third straight win as they host the Denver Broncos (3-5) on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium a win here could further push the Raiders hopes towards a their post season dreams.
