ND Lose to Carson Beck Podcast Highlights
Due to podcast technical difficulties, here are the latest highlights from Sports Kingdom.
ND lost to Carson Beck. Beck had a nice game but not enough in his draft stock. Less far, to take it easy on most of week 1 projected star’s performance. CJ Carr recorded a nice 1:15 drive and QB draw less than five men in the box for Notre Dame’s defense. Miami alumni and defensive line ultimately came away strong.
Phillies lost to the Braves. Luzardo can go play for AAA. His sharp looks do not buy me any since landing in Miami. It will be interesting to see Walker Buehler appear in a Phillies uniform. Other than that, Braves pitched well into 9K of the innings.
Walker Jenkins is being raved for his strong performance down in the minors much so like Aaron Judge when it comes to his physical tools. Nobody will ever defeat Judge’s promise. Everyone is split on 20 year old’s rising to the big leagues so soon such as Francisco Alvarez being a prime example and falling flat.
Flyers rank respectively 7th in pipeline rankings. Three things stood out. The puck skills are off the chart for some such as Michkov and Martino who has barely played a game. What is more fascinating they have a better coach with veteran experience to work with, now, alongside Jamie Drysdale and some other good skaters.
Daron Bland signs a Cowboys extension worth $50 million guaranteed. Trey Hendrickson adds to the bonus by signing a one-year holdout contract with the Cincinnati Bengals.
In the end, the Bengals won.

What Was Notable of Jonah Tong
Jonah Tong was sensational. In fact, he was a phenomenon straight out the gate. It was quick, perfect, ease, and transition to the point, Tong immediately struck out six in 5 innings and called it a night.
That easy.
Many critics compared him to Tim Lincecum prior to the game and they were right. Sometimes, it takes more than one game to assess a performance but Tong had it. He possessed poise and overtime Citi Field and him should have easy roads ahead.
Tong will come in handy for the 2025 MLB Postseason as his fastball touched 97 mph and rides elite amongst other pitches. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised his ability to take advantage of the heater and implement that and what people are criticizing his changeup and curveball.
Both, possess the ability for Tong to be an extreme new generational pitcher and help the New York Mets, tremendously. The New York Mets have kept themselves in a better position than almost last year when they fell behind and reached atop the Postseason standings.
This postseason will be a test and Tong is present.

Jeremy Lin Retires
Jeremy Lin has retired and it does not really matter. Yes, he started an era called Linsanity. The coach simply decided to call his name into the first game of February 4, 2012 and could not even play with the greatest of all time, Kobe Bryant.
Lin was insanity. He recorded a solid 80.9 FT% and 11.6 PTS. His time with the New York Knicks, Houston Rockets, and Los Angeles Lakers was priceless. He started as a G-League star of the Golden State Warriors organization and became featured on all kinds of newstands.
Carmelo Anthony could not handle and almost stand the pressure. Lin tried his best to work with many great basketball athletes including James Harden. It was at least rewarding to know that Lin playing along with the best and ending a Harvard student.

Why Kyle Schwarber is a Coward
Kyle Schwarber is a coward for all the right reasons. He is arrogant, manipulative, and powerful. It has led him to NL MVP conversations over the course of this season. Manager Rob Thomson could not get enough of praising him while his job was on the line.
The Phillies have until September 28, 2025 to determine whether they are the crowning achievers of the NL East. Schwarber started his career in Chicago, Washington, and Boston. Why all of a sudden is he hitting the ball so fantastic?
It is simply because of getting accustomed to playing in Citizens Bank Park and playing behind a No.1 hitter, still, in 2021 NL MVP, Bryce Harper. Harper is the essence of the Philadelphia Phillies organization, not Schwarber. Schwarber made up his mind after all the dingers, community fundraising, and Dave Dombrowski that this team was headed in a new direction with or without him.
The Phillies have a gigantic decision to make which they have never done in their organizational philosophy. Do you overpay a surmountable money to a player that is passing through colors of his prime in Philadelphia or trust the cap-off of a 2025 MLB World Series?
It was cowardice Schwarber did not extend a deal with one of the best organizations in professional baseball but nobody knows where his heart or Cal Raleigh’s lies just yet until they ultimately go and play MLB postseason team baseball.
It has been an interesting season of baseball. There is nobody still as transcendent looking on the outside such as Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge who are hanging onto every last breath with their respective teams from last year’s World Series classic between Los Angeles and New York.
