The sports weeks come, the sports weeks go. When the latter occurs, Sunday State of Mind shows up to remind you of the former.
Cam Newton is back in the blue black and gray Signed earlier this week, scored twice on Sunday A quick turnaround for the big quarterback Announced to the league “I’m back, I’m back”
More NFL moves, Rams did it again Signed Odell Beckham, they’re still all in OBJ in LA, it just sounds right Rams O has no reds, only green lights
The Detroit Lions did not lose! They didn’t win either, don’t get confused A tie with the Steelers, score was 16-16 No victory or loss, something in between
This week we tipped off college basketball Really getting into the sports schedule of fall Field seems wide open, blue bloods and mid majors Plenty of action out there for some wagers
After what can now be defined as a disastrous two seasons in Cleveland, Odell Bechkham Jr. has officially moved on.
It only took not talking to his quarterback, having his Dad and LeBron James both eviscerate the Browns organization, and a waiver period in which zero out of the 32 teams claimed him for OBJ to land in Hollywood.
Sean McVay and his perfect hair, Matthew Stafford and his rocket arm, and Aaron Donald and his 0.0% body fat were waiting in the wings, and were the lucky winners of the “Free Odell” movement.
Plenty of reasons OBJ picked LA. Beautiful weather, ability to go boating year round, and a pretty good football team. Who could blame him? One would assume he still has a good amount left in the tank to give to the all in Rams in their Super Bowl run.
The only question left is, will he shack up at LeBron’s crib now that he helped his buddy get out to LA? Only time will tell.
The colors are changing, but the sports world is not. We look back at the week that was in this week’s SSM.

Aaron friggin’ Rodgers, what a wild week Talked on McAfee’s show, one hell of a streak He missed this week in KC, after a positive test For COVID 19, needs a PR life vest
More bad PR, from the NBA Two awful owners, who maybe just might pay For their terrible actions, probably time to go The Suns and The Blazers, both guys really blow
A spooky, after dark edition of SSM this week. We take a scary hayrack ride through the week that was in the sports world.

Four teams left in the MLB rave Red Sox, Astros, Dodgers, and Braves A quartet of skilled teams are baseball’s last tenants Only two will advance and win their league’s pennants
The Washington Football team is in the midst of a deep probe by the NFL. If you’ve been paying any attention, the details are pretty gross, and we won’t rehash them here.
It seems like we’re still in the beginning stages of it, and it’s already cost one of the NFL’s most well known coaches his job. John Gruden stepped down as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday after eight years of emails with vile language were leaked.
What else could we potentially see from this wrecking ball investigation? We received a few snippets of the next round of leaks here at UDS…and it ain’t pretty.
If you’re under 18, please exit out of this blog now and do not read any further.
Woah, truly shocking stuff. It will be interesting to see the fallout from anything else that might leak from this investigation. Hard to believe anything worse than what we saw above could exist out there, but only time will tell.
We saw anything and everything this week in sports. We look back fondly in the latest edition of Sunday State of Mind.

Playoff time in baseball, division series round Most series are tight, good matchups can be found At the time of writing, only the White Sox down 2-0 Getting swept after their year would be a major blow
It’s been a great week in sports. We look back at the greatness in this week’s SSM.
Big name rookie QBs, getting their first wins Zach Wilson and Justin Fields, weekend winning twins Few and far between good days, for Jets and Bears fans Both fan bases should be glad, they both may have their man
