Thursday night gifted sports fans a pretty memorable night, and there’s plenty to break down from all the action. Let’s tackle the headlines from a busy day in sports.

The Detroit Tigers, Chicago Cubs, and New York Yankees all punched their tickets to the divisional round of the MLB Postseason on Thursday.
However, no team had a sweeter day than the Yankees, who had the chance to send the Boston Red Sox home early. Can we get these two facing off every October?
Thursday Night Thriller
The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams put on a classic in their Thursday Night Football showdown. In the end, it would be Mac Jones, yes, Mac Jones, who would lead the 49ers to a monster victory over Matthew Stafford and the Rams.
Speaking Of Jones
The 49ers quarterback was dressed to take down Batman with his elite pregame fit. Kyle Shanahan will have another tough decision to make when Brock Purdy returns.
I’m Old
I was having a pretty good day until I watched Cooper Flagg try to name players from the 2006 NBA season. Let me tell you, nothing has humbled me more. I am a thousand years old, but at the same time, I think I enjoy being the hateful old man that can’t believe these whippersnappers don’t know ball.
That’s it for your Friday Roundup. Unfortunately, there’s no baseball today, but Saturday we get to glue ourselves to the couch for more pigskin and hardball. It’s what we deserve for making it through another week.
Have a great weekend.
