Premier League football is back, and it could not have picked a better moment. Manchester City returns to action under the cloud of those one hundred fourteen misconduct charges, and Liverpool — the club that tormented them for years under Jurgen Klopp — is first in line to make a statement. The stakes here go well beyond three points.
Shifting to baseball, and one of the more stunning collapses in recent postseason memory. The Chicago White Sox took a two games to nothing lead over Cleveland in the AL Division Series, then went completely silent at the plate — striking out twenty one times and managing just three hits in a shutout loss Saturday night. The Guardians advance to face Tampa Bay in the AL Championship Series, and Chicago is left wondering how it all fell apart so fast.
And in college football, Georgia is the new number one team in the country after a gutsy twenty to seventeen win over Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Bulldogs survived a late controversy over an uncalled pass interference penalty, and quarterback Keelon Russell shouldered the blame entirely, saying he simply did not execute when it mattered most. A rematch between these two programs cannot come soon enough.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
