Headline Sports podcast with Jessica Kwong:

#1 Jessica, the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department has executed a warrant for the black box from golfer Tiger Woods SUV. The Sheriff is trying to see if there is any evidence of reckless driving on the part of Woods. The maximum charge in the accident would most likely be misdemeanor.

#2 Jessica, would it appear to you that the Sheriff is reaching for some criminal charges of any kind or specific to saying Tiger was reckless and to some extent was responsible for his accident. The Sheriff department told USA today that they are downplaying it as a crime and want to do their due diligence.

#3 In NBA basketball the Sacramento Kings who have lost 10 out of their last 13 games shocked the basketball world on Wednesday night beating the Los Angeles Lakers 123-120 without LeBron in the line up on Wednesday night at Golden One Center in Sacramento. The Kings Buddy Hield led the way in scoring with 29 points. Kings head coach Luke Walton’s seat has cooled a little bit.

#4 Former Montreal Expos and Miami Marlins (2012-2017) executive David Samson says that Los Angeles Angels first baseman and designated hitter Albert Pujols is a lot younger than 41 years old which he claims he is. Samson said on the Dan Le Batard show that not one executive in baseball believes Pujols is the age he claims he is and that players from the Dominican claimed to be younger than what they said they were back in the day.

#5 San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey said that the Giants allowing fans into the ballpark this season to be a welcome sight. Though the amount of fans will be limited and social distancing, wearing a mask, and contact between players and fans will not be allowed.

Will this be a regular schedule going forward the NFL is just trying to get this season finished before any further considerations.

#5 The NFL has not decided whether or not to play it’s post season in a bubble. The players union has talked to the players and they haven’t decided what to do yet. There have been a number of cases of Covid-19 infections during the regular season as teams travel from city to city. A bubble will keep everybody in one place but the players have not made a decision if that’s the way they’ll go.

#4 There’s been a lot of discussion about how Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady shined on Rams quarterback Jared Goff after the game. Brady caught a lot of heat for not meeting Goff on the field after the game for the customary handshake.

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.

#3 James Harden of the Houston Rockets had to be happy when the Rockets acquired Russell Westbrook that helped compliment the team and Harden and Westbrook could launch the team once the playoffs start.

#4 The Brooklyn Nets have two players who have tested positive for Coronvirus Taurean Prince and Spencer Dinwiddie. The Nets have four open roster spots as they head to Orlando for the bubble.

#5 The New York Knicks have expressed interest in the Phoenix Suns Devin Booker. The hang up is Booker’s long contract agreement with the Suns at $158 million dollars and four years left thats a long time left on his contract and the Knicks may not want to be on the hook for that amount. They do like Booker’s stats at 22.3 points career and 20 points game average in his second year in the NBA.

#5 Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser said that the city will not go forward to get behind a new stadium effort for Washington until the team changes it’s name. That said Snyder still refuses to budge as the team is currently playing outside of DC at Fed Ex Field in Landover MD.
