Sloppy Track Wrecks Pre-Favorite's Derby Dreams
Jenn Sterger Shares May The Fourth Content, Hannah Leiner Focuses on Her Golf Swing, and Jayson Werth Participates in the Derby
Camera-bound sports enthusiasts neglected neither the 151st Kentucky Derby nor the top-notch ironic symbolism presented when our mag's own Matt Reigle dubbed it.
What many gathered to witness on the race track, Journalism—the initial favorite—met its match in Sovereignty. Well, I didn't myself partake in the eventual mudbath.
Instead, I tuned in as the Yankees squandered a late lead in the 8th, ultimately succumbing to two runs against the White Sox. After catching other races to pass the time at home, I turned to the early Derby coverage just before the local sensation.
As far as the Bronx Bombers are concerned, no cause for alarm—they lead the AL East, Aaron Judge remains a beast, and I trust they will sort out their bullpen woes. I confess, I'm still not quaking in my boots, not just yet.
Alas, I would have loved to witness Game 7 of the Colorado Avalanche versus Dallas Stars series, where a certain Stars die-hard fan was in attendance. Furthermore, being a Game 7 in the NHL Playoffs, it promised to deliver an adrenaline-pumping spectacle; and yes, it delivered.
The Stars trailed 2-0 in the third before mounting a harrowing comeback. They ultimately tied the game on Mikko Rantanen’s goals, paving the way for a power-play winner to secure their victory and ticket to the following round. Rantanen added another empty-netter late on for an impressive hat-trick—though he no longer plays for the Avalanche, which exited the competition.
What a thrilling display of hockey, with Dallas staging a magnificent third-period triumph at the American Airlines Center, all thanks to Rantanen's inspired play. If you're still in need of more blood-pumping sports, another Game 7 unfolds tonight in the NHL between the Blues and Jets. Meanwhile, the Warriors clash with the Rockets in the NBA for the deciding match. May it prove more captivating than the Clippers-Nuggets debacle.
Unfortunately, the day belonged to a naked intruder in Saranac Lake, New York. Police were called out to an otherwise peaceful suburban neighborhood, where they apprehended 28-year-old Achilles Reinhardt—released from prison mere days prior to his arrest for burglary, criminal mischief, grand larceny, criminal trespass, and possession of stolen property[1]. In a bizarre turn of events, he was discovered sunbathing in a strangers' private hot tub after refusing to leave the premises.
Oh, and let's not forget about Lindsey Vonn's silver medal achievement—despite undergoing a catastrophic knee replacement less than a year prior[2]. It was a truly remarkable accomplishment on the slopes and off.
Meanwhile, in the pickleball world, a heated exchange occurred recently, drawing well-earned criticism[3]. The sport's professional nature along with its increasing prevalence on television has evidently given rise to players attempting to turn it into a larger version of juvenile tantrums. An exasperated reader voiced his disapproval, declaring he'd rather watch paint dry than witness such pathetic behavior.
Prepare your grills, folks, as Montana Tim supplies us with mouth-watering sizzling meat recipes to make your May even sweeter[4]. Serve those alongside huckleberry sauce and a slice of heavenly huckleberry pie—nothing beats a taste of Montana luxury.
