Home runs are bolts of lightning. They are slot machines that pay, winning scratch-off lottery tickets and a parking meter with time left on it. Sudden gratification. A jolt you don’t see coming.
Unless it was the game-tying, jaw-dropping home run Texas shortstop Corey Seager hit in the bottom of the ninth inning in World Series Game 1 Friday night. It was two days in the making. It took a perfect storm of preparation for this bolt to strike.

Nikola Jokic’s nearly 80-foot alley-oop pass was so good it fooled the camera person
There shouldn’t be much debate around Nikola Jokic anymore. The Nuggets center has long been acknowledged as the greatest passing big man of all-time. After leading Denver to its first NBA championship in franchise history last season, Jokic is now the consensus pick for the best player in the league. Still only 28 years old, Jokic is fully at the peak of his powers, and he’s doing amazing things every single time he takes the floor.

Ryan Clark, who may be the most insufferable personality at ESPN, is angry that Brady Quinn disrespected Deshaun Watson earlier this week — just months after Clark himself called Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa a fat stripper on national TV.
Oh yeah, Clark also pulled out his handy-dandy ESPN race card and pretty much accused Brady Quinn of being racist towards Watson because he dared question why the Browns QB isn’t playing right now.
That’s called hitting all the right notes, folks. ESPN must be so damn proud this morning.

Golf fans know the legends. These are the 10 greatest PGA Tour players of all-time and why they deserve that spot.
Legendary is a title earned, not given.
The PGA Tour has had its fair share of outstanding players over the years. But these 10 have earned the legend label. These are players that, regardless of someone’s golf knowledge, they know who they are.
Comparing Old Tom to Jack Nicklaus or even Tiger Woods isn’t fair.

Lee Corso isn’t on set in Salt Lake City for Saturday’s episode of ESPN’s College GameDay because of a family matter.
Although Corso is absent, the popular college football pregame show tweeted Saturday morning that the longtime analyst was “feeling fine” and would be tuned in to the show.
“Coach Corso won’t be on GameDay today as he attends to as family matter, but he’s feeling fine and we know he’s locked into the show,” the tweet stated.
The 88-year-old is a college football icon for his iconic headgear selections ahead of Saturday’s biggest games.

A former Division III football player and head coach claims he scouted Big Ten teams as part of Michigan’s alleged sign-stealing scheme, ESPN’s Dan Murphy reported Friday.
The former coach, who spoke to ESPN on the condition of anonymity, said suspended Michigan staffer Connor Stalions paid him “a couple hundred dollars” for his work. The source said he attended three Big Ten games over the past two years to record the sideline signals of future Michigan opponents and uploaded his work to a shared iPhone photo album with Stalions and potentially others.

Paul Sewald does not like to watch games after he has pitched in them.
This is primarily because he does not like games to happen after he has pitched in them. Such is life for a closer: For Sewald to take the ball for the ninth, leave the field and have any game left to watch, something must have gone very wrong. Yet this was the position in which he found himself during Game 1 of the World Series on Friday.
The Diamondbacks closer entered with a two-run lead in the ninth. He left without it.

Here’s how to watch the Oregon vs. Utah game this week, plus the rest of the Week 9 college football schedule.

It was the most dramatic end to a World Series game in half a decade, for everyone except the man who ended it.
In the moments before he walloped a drive into the right field stands that sent his Rangers teammates flying out of the dugout and the largest crowd in the short history of this ballpark into hysterics, that won Game 1 of the 119th World Series 6–5 over the Diamondbacks in 11 innings, that put the Rangers franchise three wins away from its first title, right fielder Adolis García told offensive coordinator Donnie Ecker that he would do just that.

A Texas Rangers fan is going viral after literally urinating in his pants after Rangers shortstop Corey Seager hit a game-tying home run in the bottom of the 9th inning during Friday night’s Game 1 of the World Series.
The fan allegedly told his buddies that if Seager did what was thought to be the unthinkable that he would piss himself. And sure enough Seager drilled a two-run blast over the outfield wall to extend the game into extra innings and ultimately help the Rangers get the victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
