What a weekend. Seriously, what a chaotic, nonsensical, and utterly insane weekend for sports. We finally have college football back, but if you\’re like me, you probably spent most of it trying to make sense of the wild headlines coming at you faster than a 107 mph fastball. From record-breaking sluggers to a Little League phenom and a football QB controversy, there was no shortage of drama to dive into. It\’s the kind of stuff you can\’t make up, and if you missed it, you\’re not going to believe it.

On the baseball front, Cal Raleigh is putting on a show that’s making even the most die-hard fans do a double-take. He’s not just having a great season for a catcher; he\’s putting up numbers that are making people question who the real MVP is. With 49 home runs, he’s already broken the single-season record for a catcher. It’s a debate that’s got fans from Seattle to New York going at it, but one thing is clear: Raleigh is absolutely mashing the ball and playing elite defense. Forget the tired, boring narratives—this is the kind of unexpected greatness that makes sports so fun to watch.

But the insanity didn\’t stop there. The Little League World Series crowned a new champion, and a young pitcher from Chinese Taipei is already being compared to Shohei Ohtani. He threw an 82 mph fastball, which, when you do the math for a Little League field, is the equivalent of a 107 mph pitch at the MLB level. This kid is a legitimate freak of nature, and watching him dominate makes you realize just how good some of these young athletes are. It\’s both inspiring and soul-crushing at the same time.

And then there\’s the Cleveland Browns quarterback situation. We thought we\’d seen it all, but the drama surrounding rookie quarterback Shadour Sanders has taken it to a whole new level. A preseason sack has sent the fan base into a full-blown meltdown, with people blaming everyone from the coaches to the offensive linemen. It’s a heated debate that shows just how passionate, and sometimes completely unhinged, fans can be. We’ll get into all of it, along with the latest on Malik Beasley\’s bizarre legal troubles and an absolutely wild story involving Raja Jackson.
