Kay Adams Has Kentucky Derby Horsepower, Kristen Saban Goes AWOL & Mystery 76ers Girl Turns On America

Kay Adams, the Kentucky Derby, and the first weekend of May. I can't think of three things to write that'll get you more hyped than that. Iconic trio. I think we're in for a special weekend of #content. 

I can feel it in my bones. I don't know why, but I just do. When you blog for a living, your instincts adjust over time. You get a feel for these things. You can't explain it, but you just do. 

It's sort of like the old school manager versus analytical nerds argument. You wanna trust the numbers, or trust your gut when you have a horse on the mound mowing down batters, but nearing 100 pitches? 

I go with my gut 10 times out of 10 there, and if I'm wrong, so be it. But I won't be. Between the pro-Hamas lunatics making their way through SEC Country, the Derby, Cinco de Mayo and the playoffs (both hockey and the NBA), I don't see how we go wrong this weekend. Let's get after it. 

Welcome to a Friday Nightcaps – the one where we wrap up the first week of May with Kay Adams putting on a clinic in Louisville. We started the week with Kay and I'll be damned if we don't end it with her. It's only fair. 

What else? Kristen Saban is officially OFF the grid after a tough week, which makes me sad, but she'll be back. I know it. 

We've also got a viral fan at last night's Knicks-76ers game who has the internet all riled up today, a hero down in Oklahoma with an insane mullet, a couple solid fan fights and a teen in New Haven getting LAUNCHED into a cop's windshield. 

Whew. What a First Friday of May lineup! Don't you dare accuse me of mailing it in today. Let's finish the week strong. 

Ding, ding, ding! Class is in session:

Kay Adams gets us ready for the Kentucky Derby

Can't have a Kentucky Derby Eve class and NOT start with the Derby, right? AND I get to make (lose) money on it down here in Florida for the first time thanks to the Hard Rock app?

I mean, come on. What a day. 

The stars will be out all day tomorrow. I've heard stories about Churchill Downs the Saturday morning of the Derby that truly seem like fiction. Insane stuff. 

By the way, the absolute best part of the Derby? The pre-race jockey intro on NBC, which is literally done like a Sunday Night Football player intro, instead it's just a bunch of 5-2 foreign guys. It's the best:

Gets me every single year. Must-see TV. Honestly, it's way better than the race. 

Every year, the First Lady watches the race with me because I make her, and every year she has the exact same response when it's over: That's it?

To which – every single year – I respond: You only get one of those today, and you just used it. 

A tradition unlike any other. 

Kay Adams, you're up!

What a night for fights!

Cheers, Kay! Two classes in one week for you? That's why you're the GOAT. Can't wait to see how this weekend unfolds. Will Shams make an appearance? Only time will tell. Stay tuned. 

Now, from the happy-go-lucky horse folks in Louisville to the angry-as-hell Americans … everywhere else! 

We had not one, not two, but three SOLID brawls break out across this great country yesterday, and they're all worthy of some Friday Afternoon Quarterbacking:

Mystery Knicks-76ers girl has the internet in search mode

The Oklahoma Drill one? That ain't really an Oklahoma Drill. That's just a mismatch. No shot that little guy was taking down that cowboy. I grew up on OK drills, and that's not a fair fight. 

I do respect those fans for at least having the decency to think outside the box and get creative here. If we all stopped throwing punches and started getting back to the basics of an actual Oklahoma Drill to settle disputes, this world would be so much better off. 

The cat fight at the Bad Bunny concert (which sounds just awful) was solid, too. The one girl in the aisle seat the whole time wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. And what was that little smirk at the camera about halfway through? Psycho stuff. 

Now, before we rapid-fire this bad boy into a big Friday night, let's get back to what we do best around here: make internet stars. 

ATV kid, Oklahoma kid & Kristen Saban goes AWOL

I've seen a lot of viral stars over the past few years – hell, I practically have made my living off 'em – but this one here has my brain in a pretzel. 

How this mystery girl has gone nearly 24 hours without being identified is stunning to me, especially in this age of social media. It took about three seconds to ID JJ McCarthy's girlfriend, and Masters Girl, and the Sad Kentucky fan from March … but this chick? Nothing. Crickets. 

Kudos to her. I respect the hell out of it. She went mega-viral for about 10 minutes last night and now she's gone forever. Good for her. 

Rapid-fire time on the way out. First up? How about this hero in Oklahoma?

Mom, dad, please don’t die, I will be back.

Chills. What a freaking story. What a legend. Hell, what an athletic specimen! 10-minute mile? I'd kill for that right now. And the mullet? He's the perfect kid. Cheers, Branson. 

Next!

Whoaaaaaa Nellie! Now, this cop initially came under fire because it looked like he intentionally drove into the ATV rider. But I'm with the above tweet – he made a business decision to save the family he just passed in the road. Smart move, frankly. 

He knows he has a dash cam. He knows whatever he does is gonna be broadcast to the entire world. Why in the hell would he intentionally wreck someone? Makes no sense. 

Hey, maybe don't drive your ATV on the road. Ever think of that?

Finally, let's all pour one out for Nightcaps OG Kristen Saban, who is officially off the grid. Nick's daughter deleted her Twitter earlier in the week after news of some potential infidelity broke, and she went ahead and cut the cord completely Friday morning by erasing her Instagram account. 

Sad. We lost a good one. Hopefully, one day, she'll be back. 

Now-single Brooks Nader takes us into a big weekend 

Sad end to a sad/weird few days for Kristen and Bachelorette alum James McCoy Taylor, who posted a picture of him and Kristen making out earlier this week while he was wearing a shirt of Nick Saban wearing a crown. 

How's that for a sentence? Wild. What a way to end the week. 

Well, scratch that, we'll end it with SI Swimsuit legend, Brooks Nader, who is apparently on her way BACK to Singlesville after getting a divorce. 

When one door closes, another opens. 

See you Monday.
