Spotlight on PSG - 21 August 2021 Edition

-
Paris St. Germain made it three in a row to start the season with a 4-2 thrashing of Brest on Friday night. After having his first goal of the season re-scored as an own goal against Strasbourg, Kylian Mbappé again got on the score sheet, as did Idrissa Gueye, Ángel Di María and Ander Herrera. PSG never trailed scoring the match's opening two goals, and then answering both of Brest's goals with additional scores. While they have 10 goals through their first three matches, PSG still hasn't seen the season debuts of Neymar or newcomers Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos, but obviously it hasn't been an issue thus far.

The Tebow Experiment Ends - My Thoughts

-
First and foremost, I've always liked Tim Tebow. I got to see his last collegiate game when he was still at the University of Florida. They trounced Cincinnati in the 2010 Sugar Bowl 51-24 and Tebow threw for 482 yards and three touchdowns hitting on 31 of 35 pass attempts. He also added 51 rushing yards and a touchdown for good measure. It was an impressive performance, possibly one of the most impressive I've ever witnessed in person. I pulled for him when he was with Denver as they stunned Pittsburgh in that 2011 playoff game, and I always hoped he'd catch on somewhere. If nothing else, he was a unique talent. That said, I was certainly shocked when it was announced that Jacksonville was bringing him in to play Tight End this season. Tebow last appeared in an NFL game in 2012, and he'd most recently been pursuing his dream of being a professional baseball player with the Mets. Tebow had previously been averse to playing Tight End, instead holding out hope that he...
