#codybellinger of the @cubs hit a 420 foot #hr on #420 ain’t it cool?
 #maxscherzer @mets not going to appeal 10 game #mlb suspension.  For a #startingpitcher that’s two starts. Not enough games in my opinion. 
 @brooklynnets @mostcallmeo agree #joelembiid should have been ejected last night & now @sixers have insurmountable 3-0 lead in #nbaplayoffs terrible job by refs.  @nyknicks have to beat @cavs tonight. #bingbong get it done.  
@nyrangers five unanswered goals last night up 2-0 on @njdevils in #stanleycupplayoffs with game 3 mañana. 
#jamesonwilliams suspended first six games for @detroitlionsnfl for PLACING a #bet at the team facility.  Wasn’t betting on #nfl games & #gambling sites are everywhere.  This isn’t going away ever.  
Not happy that @goodyearblimp could be replaced by a #drone doesn’t have the same cache for me.

I like the @philadelphiaeagles Sunday in #sblvii over the @chiefs 38-31. #flyeaglesfly #chiefskingdom here’s to an exciting #superbowl & congrats on #patrickmahomes winning his 2nd #mvp award.
  @colts #jeffsaturday really?
 Congrats to #briandaboll winning #nfl coach of year after he got @nygiants back to playoffs. 
@jaymahanti not one but two @nyjets rookies won offensive and defensive rookies of the year awards.  WR #garrettwilson & CB #saucegardner now if only they could find a decent QB.
  @makiaris do you agree with me?  #fernandotatisjr shouldn’t play in the #wbc or #mlb games until he finishes his suspension.  End of story.

In this week's episode, the boys start off by commenting on the Yankees recent struggles. Trouble in the Bronx? The trifecta of injuries hits the league yet again. This time in the form of Byron Buxton's return to the IL, Walker Buehler shutdown to get Tommy John surgery and Fernando Tatis Jr. getting shoulder surgery while he's suspended. Recent news broke about Los Angeles Angels owner Arturo Moreno seeking a buyer for his club. We knew the Angels were in rough shape, but now more than ever we see the culture is truly broken. The boys break down the shockwaves a potential sale has for the Halos. After, Michael recaps the final two episodes of Derek Jeter's doc 'The Captain.' The Forgotten Series returns; this time the boys cover their second forgotten star of the summer: J.R. Richard. From his beginnings with the Houston Astros in the early-70s, to his sudden departure from the league due to a health scare, Richard is one of the more fascinating figures in all of sports. The boys round out the show with Fantasy Factory and Collection Corner.

#shaquemgriffin you are an role model for showing all of us to never give up on our dreams.  On to Plan A now.  
#aircoryell deserves a spot in the #nflhalloffame @makiaris agrees with me.
Len Dawson RIP. 
 @scott13lv_ isn’t concerned with @yankees #subwayseries sweep of the @mets last night.  @braves with win over @pittsburghpirates today will cut lead in #nleast to 1.5 games. @nyliberty out of #wnbaplayoffs but hard to beat @chicagosky when they had six players in double figures. Great atmosphere @barclayscenter last night.
  #chetholmgren hope it’s not a serious foot injury and won’t miss too much time with @okcthunder this @nba season. 
#backyardbrawl tomorrow night @wvufootball @pitt_fb first game since 2011. #collegefootball is back. 
 @nwsl could set a single game attendance record when @weareangelcity visits @sandiegowavefc on September 17th.

"AMONG THE MOST SENSITIVE SECRETS WE HOLD"

A BLOCK (2:20) Washington Post reports some of the material Trump took recovered 8/8 is "among the most sensitive secrets we hold" (2:29) which could reveal American intelligence-gathering methods. This makes Trump a SPY (4:35) Reality Winner got 63 months for stealing one classified document so the math is: for 300 documents Trump would deserve 1,575 years (6:08) There once was the chance this was a mistake but it is now clear Trump went through all the documents and chose which to keep in defiance of the demand to return them (6:40) and reportedly supervised packing them at Mar-a-Lago. ALL OF THIS WAS A CRIME (7:45) Trump's lawyers humiliate themselves in front of Trump-appointed judge who says she can't tell from their filing what they want her to DO (9:48) Jared Kushner makes it worse (11:40) Rolling Stone reports Trump wants all "his" documents back (12:34) but as that song he always plays at his rallies reminds us: You Can't Always Get What You Want.

B BLOCK (15:40) Every Dog Has Its Day: Sonny Boy (17:10) Primary Results (17:57) DeSantis closes his 3rd speech in a month with "put on the full armor of God" (18:17) Mehmet Oz reignites the "Crudite" saga (19:23) Sanders floats bill not to recognize Brazil government if Bolsonaro tries to ignore election. Can we get this bill for the US too? (19:51) Michigan residents warned not to walk their dogs: a new virus, or a Parvo variant, is abroad (20:54) Sports: Fernando Tatis Jr says he's sorry he used steroids but is sticking to his claim he only took them for Ringworm (22:00) Angels for sale (22:48) Oakland fans engage willy-nilly in hanky-panky, others celebrate with signs, security gets tetchy (24:44) Tucker Carlson, Senator Rick Scott and Florida's Lieutenant Governor compete for Worst Persons honors.

C BLOCK (29:48) Things I Promised Not To Tell: It is 42 years to the day since I learned why Mom said "Never run for a train, there'll always be another one." I ran for - and HEAD-ON INTO - a New York City Subway train. The story winds through the U.S. Tennis Open, Dr. Renee Richards, a lesson in how to report sports, and ends with two new ventilators for Elmhurst Hospital during the pandemic.

@nyjets fans #takeflight because it looks like #zachwilson tore his #acl making a cut on a #quarterback draw. On grass no less. @btmcgraw brought up a good point that these starters should sit out #nflpreseason to avoid these things.  So do they go after #jimmygaroppolo or give #mikewhite a shot?  But please no #joeflacco please.  
#deshaunwatson showing contrition today. 
@nfl #concussion settlements for Black players too. Greed for lack of a better word by the NFL is not good.
 Talked to @makiaris my @padres source and both agree how athletes can be so lax with what they put in their bodies.  And sounds like team is questioning #fernandotatisjr maturity who will be suspended for next 80 games. Good thing they picked up #juansoto at the @mlb #tradedeadline this year. 
 @littleleague #worldseries tough loss by #tomsrivereast but props to #nohitter by Joey Lionetti for #massapequacoast in 4-0 win and off to #williamsportpa 
#danawhite @ufc making enough money.  Said NEVER increasing #fighter pay. Alrighty then.  That should go over well. @yankees 10-19 last 29 games. 
@orioles 44-29 since May 19th. 
Rooting for @rockies #wyntonbernard who got a call up to #majors after 11 years in the Minors. Never give up on yourself.  
@nyliberty beat @atlantadream tonight in Atlanta. Win Sunday @barclayscenter and they’re in the #wnbaplayoffs likely as the #8 seed. 
I know someone who would be very happy if #bronnyjames ended up at @umichbball for 2023-24 season.

I was a proofreader.  Be better News 7 KWWL.  Be better. 
Buick love the commercial for women’s basketball.  They should get more media coverage.  A lot more.  
TB12 back for 23rd season with Bucs.  Are we surprised?  And how about the fan who paid $518k for what he thought was Brady’s final TD pass. Sucks.  Really sucks. 
Fernando Tatis Jr. fractured his wrist in offseason. Out up to three months.  How and when did it happen?   Sucks for the Padres. 
Lucky that Mets Pete Alonso wasn’t hurt in car crash in Florida yesterday.  He said car flipped three times. Scary stuf.  Also Jacob deGrom is opting out of contract at end of 2022 season. Stay healthy and you will be rewarded Jacob. 
Gio Urshela and Gary Sanchez traded by Yanks to Twins. About time for Sanchez but always liked Gio.  You will be missed. 
Selection Sunday.  Michigan 17-14 shouldn’t be in and should be playing first four instead of Rutgers.  Texas A&M makes SEC tournament championship game but not the dance?  For shame NCAA.  For shame.
