The sports world is mourning the loss of NASCAR legend Kyle Busch, whose death certificate has revealed a devastating chain of events. Busch battled bacterial pneumonia for weeks before it spiraled into sepsis, ultimately causing hemorrhagic shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation. A champion taken far too soon, and the racing community is still processing the weight of it.
Shifting to the ice and a sobering revelation out of Boston, the family of former Bruins enforcer Lyndon Byers has confirmed he suffered from CTE following his death last year. Byers, beloved by Bruins fans and radio listeners alike as a longtime voice on The Hill-Man Morning Show, had his brain donated to the Boston University CTE Center. Doctor Ann McKee's team made the diagnosis, adding another name to a growing and heartbreaking list.
And on the diamond, the Tampa Bay Rays are making noise both on the field and in the front office. Sitting at thirty-four and nineteen, the best record in the American League, Tampa Bay is now being projected as a serious threat to land Detroit's Cy Young winner in trade talks. A pitcher commanding thirty-two million dollars could be headed to a Rays roster already built to win right now.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
