Alex Morgan, CMC, LA Brawls and 20+ more headlines
Of course, NFL headlines dominated this week.
There was a controversy behind 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey sitting out a Monday Night game. His backup, Jordan Mason, spilled the beans that the decision did not come down to game time. The 49ers still won the game.
Over the weekend, the Raiders and Chargers had a ton of fights in the stands. On the field, there was a small Raiders-Chargers brawl. No suspensions are anticipated. Vegas lost the game, while Jim Harbaugh started his Chargers’ regime with a 22-10 victory.
The USMNT announced their new head coach Mauricio Pochettino, while also losing to Canada in a friendly for the first time in almost 70 years.
Otherwise, USWNT legend Alex Morgan played her final game in the NWSL. The 35-year-old was snuffed by the 2024 Summer Olympics team, despite being a two-time Women’s World Cup champion. Salute to the San Dimas legend on a well-deserved retirement. Too bad AI forgot to mention her final game in the Wave’s recap.
Lastly, the Professional Women’s Hockey League announced their return. However, no West Coast teams were included in the announcement.
