A good Wednesday morning to you all. We’ve entered the time of year where sports are a constant every second of the day, and I love every minute of it. Even if my Cincinnati Reds got blasted late last night.
There’s baseball, football, and a little dash of basketball that are going to get our October started, and it’s time to delve into the biggest headlines in sports.

Here is the Wednesday Roundup!
Just A Swingin’
The Los Angeles Dodgers treated their opening Wild Card game with the Reds like it was batting practice. This is what it’s like to watch a $350 million team play a team that barely made the postseason.
The Rivalry
The Boston Red Sox taking on the New York Yankees in the playoffs needs to happen every season. There was some drama at the end of their Game 1 meeting on Tuesday, but the Red Sox would close the door on Aaron Boone’s squad, leaving the folks in New York a tad restless.

It has been reported that the Cleveland Browns may start rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the team’s Week 5 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, which takes place in London.
A rookie making his first career start in England sounds so Cleveland.
Speedy Recovery
Tyreek Hill’s surgery is now complete and “went very well according to his doctors”, per the receiver’s agent Drew Rosenhaus, who added another surgery will not be needed. “It’s about rehab and he will play next season. The realistic goal is the start of the season.” pic.twitter.com/u4lWrDPPvk

Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill had successful surgery on his knee after basically tearing it apart during the team’s Monday Night Football win. This injury sums up the start to the season the Dolphins have had.
Brother Backcourt

Seth Curry has signed a one-year deal with the Golden State Warriors, giving NBA fans the chance to see the Curry brothers put on a show against an innocent team this upcoming season. It will probably be their dad’s team, the Charlotte Hornets.
There’s still so much to talk about. For instance, Kevin Durant may have taken his shot with Kay Adams. Former ESPN First Take host Molly Qerim reveals shocking future. The Colorado football program received a hefty fine for classless fans.
We’re starting this Wednesday with a full slate. Why not attack this day with a Jameis Winston pep talk before we step out the front door?
Have a great day!
