Austin 3:15: Joey Hotdog does it again
We're coming off 4th of July weekend and we all know what that means.. Home runs were hit, glizzies were gobbled, firework shows played to Katy Perry's Firework, and I'm starting to lose my skull without football.

15 WEEKEND HEADLINES. 15 BOTTOM LINE THOUGHTS. 15 WORDS OR LESS.
Top Story
1) Engrave Joey Chestnut on the Mt. Rushmore of athletes. 70.5 dogs, 17 titles. Generational.
NFL
2) It’s July and Keenan Allen + Amari Cooper remain unsigned. Tell that to 2019 fantasy leagues.
3) Gronk claims GOAT. Citing Kelce fails to party his “face into the dirt with fans.”
4) The Bengals are a trip. Hendrickson + Stewart stuff, absurd. The whole roster build is sus.
MLB
5) MLB All Star snubs were a bit egregious. Give me Big Dumpy in the derby.
6) Yankees pitching is a train wreck. 7.56 ERA over the weekend. Injuries all over. Sell.
7) Top prospect Colson Montgomery shines in debut with pulseless White Sox. Helluva ballplayer. Future Dodger.
CATCH OF THE SUMMER⁉️ #SCTop10
COLSON MONTGOMERY, HOW DO YOU DO‼️

8) Cubs mashed a franchise record eight dingers against the Cardinals on the 4th.
9) For the first time since 2023, Brandon Woodruff pitched pro baseball. Still an ace.
What a return for Brandon Woodruff! 👏

10) Durant deal has NBA doing seven-team trades now; Phoenix has a guard fetish.

NCAA
11) Notre Dame landed commits from Larry Fitzgerald’s & Jermichael Finley’s sons. Making me geriatric.
12) Coach Bielema pledges to match veteran ticket sales for Illinois football’s Military Appreciation game.
Incase you missed it
13) 239 races later, Nico Hulkenberg lands his first F1 podium. Love to see it!
Good things come to those who wait 🤩

14) NCAA Football 26 + Madden 26 drawing serious hype around updates. Soo.. more letdown incoming??
15) Connecticut Sun are the only WNBA team blanked in All-Star voting. Five first timers.
In closing
How many days until football again?
