Alright, I missed someone last week for this prestigious honor. Although I still think last week's selection was a good one, with Freddy the Famous German taking home the award, we also had an insane performance from a player at the World Cup.

Last week, 40-year-old Cabo Verde goalkeeper Josimar Dias put together a performance for the ages. Dias held Spain, one of the favorites to win the World Cup, to a 1-1 draw. The result earned Cabo Verde its first-ever World Cup point in the country's history. Right after the match, Dias also gained 15 MILLION followers from soccer fans around the world. He was also named "Man of the Match" for his performance against Spain.

This whole story is about perseverance and never giving up on your dreams. Dias didn't even start playing soccer until his late 20s, and now he's one of the biggest stories to come out of the World Cup. It's just a wholesome, incredible story for sports, and we couldn't be more honored to present this award. Congratulations to Josimar Dias, "Vozinha," on being this week's Dude of the Week.

Congratulations to the WNBA who is celebrating the league's 30th anniversary. To celebrate, they came out with a 30 year poster for fans to purchase online…

Notice anything missing? Yeah just the most influential basketball player in women’s basketball history, Caitlin Clark. Being 100% honest I had never seen a WNBA game till Caitlin Clark put it on the map.

Also being completely honest, still not too dialed in on it. But I don’t have to be dialed in on it to realize how fucking dumb these people are running this league. They must not have made it to marketing class in college. Or for that matter made it to any classes their whole lives. 

Leaving your most well known and influential player off all marketing materials is a super smart business move. Should be great for revenue and really help grow the game. Nice work you fucking morons.

The USA has already secured first place in Group D, but tonight's match should still be a fun one. Expect the Americans to come out with plenty of energy in front of a home crowd.

Türkiye, meanwhile, has already been eliminated, but they'll be desperate to avoid leaving the tournament without a goal. They were considered a dark horse by many before the tournament began, making their group-stage exit one of the bigger surprises so far.

More importantly, the knockout-stage draw has broken about as well as the U.S. could have hoped. They'll open against Bosnia and Herzegovina, and if they advance, they'll face either Egypt or Cape Verde. All things considered, that's a path you take 10 out of 10 times.

The World Cup has delivered through the group stage, and now it's time to see what this U.S. team is really capable of.

World Cup fans were having the time of their lives, turning every street, café, and living room into a mini stadium. Faces were painted in colors that somehow survived tears, sweat, and three plates of nachos, while strangers became best friends the moment their team scored. Every goal sparked celebrations so dramatic that neighbors thought someone had won the lottery. Fans sang off-key anthems, hugged complete strangers, and confidently explained complicated soccer tactics despite barely understanding the offside rule. For a few magical weeks, sleep schedules disappeared, productivity vanished, and the entire world agreed that yelling at a television was a perfectly reasonable hobby.

I really never thought I’d be writing something like this based on 365 days ago. But here we are…

At last year's US Open, Wyndham Clark pulled the biggest loser move of all time. After missing the cut he went into Oakmont Country Club’s locker room and smashed 2 lockers. Not only is Oakmont one of the most prestigious courses in the country, but smashing lockers is just something you don’t do. Fuck, if you even to it at the local muni your a total bum.

Last weekend Clark rolled into Shinecock with the golf world absolutely hating him, rightfully so. Throughout the week, he slowly began winning fans back by owning his mistakes, and actually sounding like a pretty good dude in his interviews. Still when Sunday rolled around and he was head-to-head with Scottie Scheffler, the boos reigned in.

It was very evident the golf world still had not forgiven Clark. Then he went on to shut them all up with one of the grittiest golf performances I have seen all season. The after, once again went on to own his mistakes and actually sound like such a solid dude.

Also not to mention, Wyndham Clark has a smokeshow girlfriend. Congrats Wyndham, you are back my friend.

This article is going to hurt to write. I was hoping this day would never come. This has nothing to do with me being a Bucks fan—it has to do with me having to write Giannis Antetokounmpo's name multiple times in the same article. A lot of the time you'll see me use the easier part of someone's name every time I mention them, but I can't really do that with Giannis. So, with that being said, I'm going to use his full name from here on out and not use spell check. On Monday night, the NBA world was shocked to hear the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo was traded to the Miami Heat along with Bobby Portis Jr. The Bucks got back Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kel'el Ware, Kasparas Jakučionis, one pick swap, and one first-round pick. God, these names are getting way too complicated again. I mean, who even is Kasparigus Jakustrap?

Anyway, this is one of the biggest trades in recent history. Shams finally gets the trade he wanted and can stop telling all of us that Giannis is going to be traded after saying it for the past three years. Now, this trade, in my opinion, doesn't make much sense. I really don't believe the Heat become an instant contender with Giannis. He's been hurt for what feels like the last three years, and the Heat just gave away all of their young talent. Now it's the Bam and Freak show. "Freak Bam," some are calling them.

Now, Antetokounmpo is a generational player and a former league MVP, but who else is going to score? Sure, Bam can score (83-point game, never forget), but no one on that team can really shoot the three. I just don't see this team making a serious run anytime soon. One benefit is that the Eastern Conference is pretty weak outside of the Knicks and Celtics, so this is definitely the right side of the league for Giannis to be on. I guess we'll see what comes of this trade, but who really knows.
