Hello everyone! I hope all of you had a great week this week. A lot of newsworthy events happened over the week. Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Here we go!
MLB
After hosting the Oakland A's at home, the Yankees traveled to Minnesota to take on the Twins in a 3 game set. The Yankees won the 1st game, blew the lead in the 2nd, and won the 3rd to win the series. Back in NY, the Mets hosted the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 4 game set, which happened to be the last home stand for the season. The Mets won the series 3 out of 4, and the most notable game was the last home game since Keith Hernandez shaved his mustache for charity before the game, and R.A. Dickey got his 20th win of this season.
The Yankees went to Toronto yesterday for a 4 game set, and got shutout on the 1st game of the series. The Yankees will continue their final road series in Toronto, while the Mets will travel to Atlanta to take on the Braves in a 3 game set this weekend.
NFL
This Sunday, the New York Jets will host the San Francisco 49ers at the 1 PM slot on FOX, while the New York Giants will be in Philadelphia to take on the Eagles on Sunday Night Football on NBC. The notable thing about this week is that the NFLRA and NFL made a deal for the regular referees to return to work and not use the replacement refs after what happened on Monday Night Football.
The replacement referees called a Seattle TD, when it was actually a Green Bay Packer who caught the ball. This caused an uproar among NFL fans, sports media, regarding the "Seattle Screwjob". The good thing is that the actual referees are back, and the focus can once again be on the game itself. Referees make bad calls once in a while, but the blame goes to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for not doing anything before it went out of hand.
WWE
This past Monday on Raw was the fallout from Last Monday's Raw ending when the referee made a bad call. The beginning segment poked fun at the NFL Replacement Referees at that time. That message meant that you know the NFL Replacement Refs situation was getting out of hand when the WWE made it a storyline.
After that segment, the rest of Monday Night Raw was pretty decent. Michael Cole and Jim Ross were calling commentary that day as JBL is out of the country. Here are the rest of the highlights from Raw:
Earlier today, WWE announced that Kelly Kelly has been released from the WWE. It came to no surprise since she wanted to leave for a while, and this was more of a formality. Good luck to her in the future.
MMA
Tonight is the Bellator Fighting Championships Season 7 premiere, and the following night is UFC on FuelTV.
That's all I have to say for now. Have a good weekend!
