Happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen. I know the Detroit Lions faithful are feeling extra giddy waking up today. Not only is the weekend about to start, but the team earned a hard-fought victory over the defending Super Bowl Kansas City Chiefs to kick off the 2023-24 NFL regular season. It’s the kind of thing we love to see as we prepare to gear up for a fun few months. Before we get to the full weekend of college football and the NFL — which includes No. 11 Texas vs. No. 3 Alabama — we have to get through Friday which features a full day of MLB action, some FBS football, and the US Open men’s semifinals with American Ben Shelton. So buckle up, because it’s about to be an exciting few days with all of the sports programming we could ask for. In the meantime, let’s check out some headlines from around the web that we may have missed. Indulge.
