WWE

Last night was "The 25th Anniversary of SummerSlam" where it emanated from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Overall there were 8 matches on the card. 1 was streamed online while the remaining 7 aired on PPV. Here are the results:

On my previous blog post, I said that I wouldn't be watching the PPV, but I did since I won a code from WWE's Twitter contest where I gave my thoughts using the #SummerSlam hashtag. WWE chose me and a few others via random selection as winners and I got a redeemable code to watch the PPV on WWE.com/PPV. How the code worked was when I purchased the PPV, the $44.95 price was waived and I watched it for free. Thank you WWE for allowing me to save $45 dollars. Here's proof if you don't believe me:

Here are the highlights from the PPV:

Don't forget to tune in tonight on Monday Night Raw to see the fallout from SummerSlam

MLB

This weekend, the Yankees faced division rival Boston Red Sox in a 3 game set at home before going on the road. The Yankees won Friday's game, fell short on Saturday, and won yesterday on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball to win the series 2 out of 3. On the other side of things, the Mets were in Washington D.C. to take on the Washington Nationals. Mets lost on Friday, won on Saturday, but failed to win the series yesterday.

This week, the Yankees will be at the South Side to take on the Chicago White Sox at US Cellular Field in a 3 game set , while the Mets will return home to host the Colorado Rockies in a 4 game set.

NFL

This past Saturday was the second week of NFL Preseason as the New York Jets hosted the New York Giants in what they call the "MetLife Bowl". This was the worst preseason game I've ever seen, since the Jets offensive line is complete garbage and Wayne Hunter is terrible at his role at Right Tackle. Without a good offensive line, how can Mark Sanchez have time to throw from the pocket? The secondary team didn't look good either since Tim Tebow was sacked a few times as well. Sanchez did throw an interception, but Eli Manning of the Giants threw an interception as well (although Sanchez's INT turned into a Pick Six). Here are the highlights:

That's all I have to say for now. Have a good week -NYCKNP
