Happy Cinco de Mayo
It's Sunday and it's Cinco de Mayo. If you didn't plan ahead like an adult and get your celebrating in last night, then you might want to pace yourself today.
Nobody wants to start the work week with a hangover.
I'm not talking to the professionals out there. I fully understand that you've been drinking since Friday night and, rather than crash landing the weekend of drinking, you're going to use Sunday to safely glide to a stop somewhere shortly after dinner tonight.
You have it all figured out like a science.
This is more of a reminder for those who woke up this morning with a plan to drink the day away. The Monday morning alarm will be here before you know it.
Wild night of UFC action in Brazil
UFC 301 took place on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and it had some bizarre moments. We're talking backflips in the middle of a fight and a gash in a shin that forced a stoppage level of bizarre.
It all started with the stoppage due to a leg injury in the featherweight fight between Jack Shore and Joanderson Brito during the prelims.
Brito landed several kicks in the opening round on Shore's left leg, which made it hard for him to put weight on it as the round progressed. He managed to survive the first-round, but in round two the kicks really rook a toll.
Shore's leg started to bleed and swell up. So much so that the referee stopped the fight to have a doctor look at the injury. He poked around and examined the leg before calling off the fight.
It was explained during the broadcast that the doctor called the fight off suspecting that Shore had a broken leg. Brito was given a TKO victory.
That was just the beginning of the fun. Michel Pereira had an insane plan of attack during his middleweight bout against Ihor Potieria on the main card. He broke out a backflip in the middle of the octagon.
He then used the wild move to get on top of his opponent before finishing him off in the first-round by choking him out. That's right, the guy backflipping during the fight won.
That's not something you see everyday.
Speaking of things you don't see every day, how about 13 wins in a row? Brazilian Caio Borralho did just that in front of the home crowd.
It wasn't a play it safe and pickup a decision kind of win either. Borralho knocked his opponent, Paul Craig, into a different universe.
That's an exclamation point on a 13th straight win.
Game 7 overtime
Speaking of an exclamation point, the Boston Bruins put one on their first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The series was pushed to a Game 7 after the Bruins jumped out to a 3-1 series lead.
Everyone knows there's nothing better than a Game 7. Except for a Game 7 that goes to overtime.
That's exactly what happened before David Pastrnak of the Bruins was able to end the game, the series, and Toronto's season.
The Bruins will now take on the Florida Panthers in the second round. Good news for hockey fans looking forward to another Game 7. There's one tonight between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Dallas Stars.
Crazy, sick people!!
Jim M sent this one in and crazy, sick people sums the situation up well. That situation involves a lawsuit filed by a Michigan woman against her former employer over their corporate policy.
The woman claims that she was forced to endure repeated sexual harassment while working as a customer service rep. The corporate policy prohibiting her from hanging up on customers meant that she couldn't hang up on a man who is accused of masturbating while on the phone with her.
This insanity, according to the lawsuit, went on for about a year.
The woman also claims, according to The Kansas City Star, that she reported the incidents to supervisors and that the company failed to take appropriate action. They instead reminded her that she was "required per DTE policy to stay on the call and not hang up."
Jim nailed it with his assessment of crazy, sick people. This guy obviously has a few issues, as does the company that won't allow you to hang up on customers no matter what they're doing on the other end.
That's enough insanity for one Sunday. Again, happy Cinco de Mayo. Remember to pace yourself and feel free to send questions, comments, stories, pretty much anything my way at sean.joseph@outkick.com.
