From acrobatic grabs to running backs (RBs) tossing touchdowns (TDs), this NFL weekend had a little bit of everything. Let’s dig into the digits that have defined Week 5 with tonight’s 8:15 p.m. ET Monday Night Football tilt between the Kansas City Chiefs and Jacksonville Jaguars still to come.

The Las Vegas Aces boast a commanding 2-0 lead in the WNBA’s first-ever best-of-seven Finals following yesterday’s 91–78 win over the Phoenix Mercury. The series now shifts from Vegas to Phoenix ahead of Wednesday’s Game 3…but not before we discuss the latest from the hardwood.

The Toronto Blue Jays are officially one win away from their first American League Championship Series (ALCS) since 2016 after an explosive first two divisional series games vs. the NY Yankees. Feeling oh so savage with Game 3 and the chance to advance on deck tomorrow.

Today’s newsletter has everything you need to know ahead of tonight’s 8 p.m. ET Game 1 tipoff, from the reason each squad could hoist the championship trophy to the Finals tidbits that could decide the series. Let’s hoop to it.

Yesterday marked just the second time in baseball’s long history with three winner-take-all games on the same day. Take a deep breath and steady that heart rate as we recap what went down on the diamond in the best-of-three Wild Card round.

But wait, there’s more baseball. With the best-of-three Wild Card done and dusted, it’s on to the best-of-five Divisional Series, with four teams each remaining from the American League (AL) and National League (NL). That’s right, it’s time for the well-rested Toronto Blue Jays to shine after enjoying a first-round bye. So ready for takeoff.

Feel that? It’s the temps emanating from this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix (GP). Not only has Sunday’s 8 a.m. ET race already been given a heat hazard declaration, but the race for the World Drivers’ Championship (WDC) is also scorching hot, especially with just seven GPs to go.

And just like that, the MLB playoffs are underway with yesterday’s mostly low-scoring but always high-stakes quadruple-header of Wild Card action. This opening round is best-of-three, meaning the divisional series will be set by the next time we talk. Blink and you’ll miss it.

As if that wasn’t enough WNBA news for one day, the Finals matchup is officially set. The Phoenix Mercury will face the Las Vegas Aces in the best-of-seven championship series after last night’s 107–98 overtime (OT) win over the Indiana Fever. Here’s how it all went down.

Need a little push to say exactly what’s on your mind? Look no further than the aforementioned Collier’s exit interview, where the five-time All-Star lambasted Commissioner Engelbert and the league office in a two-page prepared statement. Receipts, incoming.

Happy MLB postseason to all who celebrate. That’s right, the playoffs begin today at 1:08 p.m. ET with 12 of the league’s 30 teams swinging to hoist the World Series trophy. Today’s newsletter has everything you need to know before the first pitch — and to help complete your pro baseball playoff bracket challenge. Play ball.

Even with one WNBA semifinal done and dusted and the other heading for a winner-take-all Game 5, officiating continues to dominate headlines. From the buckets to the blown calls, let’s get into it.
