Welcome in for another edition of the Friday Roundup. We’ve made it to another weekend, and have plenty to talk about before we lock in for another weekend of all the pigskin action.
It’s not just football dominating the headlines, even though Thursday Night Football was cinema. We’ve got some hoops news, a MLB postseason race that won’t be decided until the final day of the season.

Let’s delve into all the goodness that is sports. Here is the Friday Roundup!
More Drama Than Grey’s Anatomy
With just four ticks on the clock, Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers nailed the game-winning kick to earn the road victory over the Arizona Cardinals 23-20.
The Cardinals wore their NFL “Rivalries” uniforms for the game, and they weren’t that bad after seeing them on the field. However, who allowed the Seahawks to rock those grey pants with the dark blue top? Fix that, now!
Long-Term Answer?

Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka announced the team has extended the contract for head coach JJ Redick. The Lakers want championships, and they feel Redick is the man to make that magic happen.
Insane Grab
The Cincinnati Reds are attempting to keep pace with the New York Mets for the final NL Wild Card spot. One way to do that is to win, and the Reds did that in a big way with the help of outfielder Noelvi Marte’s insane home run robbery.
Tua Forgetting Legends
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has heard enough of those in the media, like Cam Newton. The Dolphins quarterback thinks his critics should come play his position before making statements. Somebody going to tell the guy that Newton is a former MVP?
Splitting Rent
Brooklyn Nets star Michael Porter Jr. recently revealed that he splits the rent with his girlfriend. Usually, that doesn’t grab headlines. However, after signing a $200 million deal, that comment is going to grab some attention.

BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse is back with the Halloween hits as the “Spooky Pizookie” is back on the menu. Vanilla ice cream, Oreos, and hardened chocolate sleeping on top of those mountains of ice cream. I needed one of these yesterday.
