Happy Thursday, ladies and gentlemen! If you went to bed early last night, you missed an epic opening game between the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics. The Knicks got the win in double-overtime, but it didn’t come easy. By the end of the game, there was a hilarity of mistakes with missed dunks and wide-open layups missed, but the entertainment was undeniable. We also watched Coastal Carolina’s perfect season come to an end thanks to a last-second field goal from Appalachian State to get the upset. If that’s setting the tone for the upcoming weekend of NFL and college football, we will be in for a treat. In the meantime, let’s take a quick look around the web at some of the headlines you may have missed.
