Good morning everyone! Here's what news we ✨snagged✨ for you around the sports world today:

🐐 The Hot Dog King

🐆 Mr. Covers’ AFC South Rundown

🚀 ...and much more! Let's get into it.

👑 Main Character

King Chomper. The Human Food Disposal. Jaws. GOAT. Joey Chestnut.

He goes by many names, but some are calling him the greatest athlete of a generation. With the dominance he’s shown over the last decade or so, it’s getting harder and harder to argue that point. A rain delay almost wiped out one of the best Fourth of July traditions there is, Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, but Mr. Chestnut was not going to let that happen on his watch.

Excuse the language, but this is a guy who wanted to compete, wanted to win, and wanted that Mustard Belt badly. After the contest was back on, Chestnut, the overwhelming favorite, downed 62 hot dogs in 10 minutes, buns and all, to capture his 15th Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating title.

It’s not the healthiest of diets, but you got to do what you got to do in order to become one of the greats.

In a day where not much happened across the sporting world, Chestnut delivered another legendary performance. The #1 ranked eater in the MLE is out to prove he’s the best to ever do it, and after performances like this, there’s certainly no denying it.

A classic movie after a classic holiday. The Sandlot is the best baseball movie ever made (you can’t dispute it), so enjoy this quick two-minute clip of the boys playing ball under the bright lights.

🐣 Tweet of the Day

If you were wondering what literally every big name athlete/entertainer/pop culture celebrity was doing yesterday, well here it is. Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin put on a party for the ages, and if I were him, I would also be flexing this party as much as humanly possible.

💰 Mr. Cover’s Football Corner

With football season fast approaching, it’s time to re-familiarize ourselves with what happened this offseason, and who the odds on favorites are to win the division, and the whole dang thing.

Today, we’re looking through probably one of the sloppiest divisions in the NFL.

AFC South
Jaguars -160, Titans +330, Colts +500, Texans +800

This is easily one of the more disgusting divisions in football. The Jaguars should be able to run away with this one as Trevor Lawrence continues his coronation into becoming a top 5 QB. The Texans and the Colts will both be starting rookie QB’s by the end of the year, and not to mention, have rookie head coaches at the team’s helm. The Titans are the only other interesting team to me. Last year they started off 7-3, but went on to lose seven straight and ended up missing the playoffs. The potential is there for Tennessee, but you won’t find me placing a wager on them to win in this seemingly clear cut division.

💵 Pick: Jacksonville Jaguars -160
