D.K. Metcalf wins NBA celeb game MVP, Greg Hardy gets KO’d
Albert Pujols and D.K. Metcalf aren’t in the very same universe athletically at this point in their life. Yet, they shared a basketball court Friday as section of the NBA Celeb Game, and I gotta say, it is startling that just one of the finest baseball players of this century — coming off a 24-home run swan music period — now seems to be like a beer league slugger.
Describing that sequence as Metcalf and Pujols investing buckets is absurd. Just one male did a chin-up on the rim, and the other helps make Winnie-the-Pooh glimpse like an Olympian. Apart from viewing how swiftly Pujols allow himself go, the highlight of the night was Metcalf.
I know he just blocked a anonymous henchmen superstar (almost certainly one particular Deadspin will be interviewing very shortly), but holy hell are NFL wide receivers proficient. If you couldn’t infer from the highlights previously mentioned, Metcalf was the game’s MVP. I imply, he does not even take a step in the paint on this flush.

No matter, congrats to Metcalf, and the schlubs who performed in opposition to him for not receiving baptized. Although, there was a person previous NFL player who did acquire it on the chin in a crossover sport Friday night time.
Greg Hardy’s bare-knuckle boxing profession goes the way of Magnificent George
Keep in mind previous defensive lineman Greg Hardy who hopped to MMA immediately after off-the-discipline issues forced him out of the NFL? Well, he returned to overcome sporting activities following a prolonged hiatus for (I’m assuming) a payday, and bought that plus some reward brain harm.
“I fuckin’ hate pikeys.” But wait around, there is additional.
Properly, I really do not really feel so lousy for Pujols now (though I’m not confident how I’m meant to really feel about Hardy). It could’ve been even worse — mainly because having knocked out by multiverse Jay Glazer is 150,000 times worse.
