You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
The football world is mourning tonight. Ernie Accorsi, one of the most respected minds in NFL history, has passed away at eighty-four. The longtime Giants general manager built the roster that shocked the football world in Super Bowl forty-two, engineering one of the greatest upsets the game has ever seen. A true architect of the modern game, gone but absolutely not forgotten.
Shifting to baseball, the Cincinnati Reds are dealing with a painful blow right as the season heats up. Ace right-hander Chase Burns has been placed on the fifteen-day injured list with a right groin strain. The twenty-three-year-old was nothing short of electric this year, going fifteen and three with a two point eight six ERA in his first All-Star campaign. The Reds need him back, and they need him back healthy.
And speaking of electric arms, Jacob Misiorowski is making hitters look foolish across the National League. The Milwaukee Brewers breakout star is touching one hundred and five miles per hour on the gun, and everyone around him says the same thing — you simply cannot prepare for it. A legitimate Cy Young conversation is happening in Milwaukee, and it is long overdue.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
