Breanna Stewart was simply unstoppable in Game one of the WNBA playoffs, dropping thirty-four points and pulling down twelve rebounds as the New York Liberty stunned the top-seeded Minnesota Lynx. That performance sends a loud message to everyone left in the bracket — Stewart is playing at a different level right now.
Meanwhile in the NFL, the New England Patriots are in real trouble after getting blown out in Jacksonville, dropping to one and two on the young season. Head coach Mike Vrabel didn't sugarcoat it, telling reporters his concern level is, quote, very high. For a team that just came out of the AFC Championship, this is a jarring fall back to earth in a hurry.
And in NASCAR, chaos struck at Kansas Speedway during Stage two of the Hollywood Casino four hundred when Chase contender Carson Hocevar spun out on the frontstretch and collected Bubba Wallace in a multi-car wreck that also swept up Erik Jones, Josh Berry, and Zane Smith. Two playoff drivers taking that kind of damage this deep in the Chase could reshape the entire championship picture.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
