1. This is going to be a very short and sweet lead item today. If you need a laugh, just read the replies to this absurd tweet that TMZ sent out on Sunday.

2. This is my favorite on-the-field sports moment in a long time.
During a 2. Bundesliga soccer match on Sunday between Preussen Munster and Hertha Berlin, the ref jogged over to the sideline for a replay review.
There was only one problem: The monitor was not working.
Why was the monitor not working? Because a fan in a ski mask climbed a fence to tamper with the monitor.
🚨💣 THE CRAZIEST INCIDENT OF 2026 💀🤣

In the German Second Division, two Münster fans stormed the pitch during their home match against Hertha Berlin and literally stole the VAR cable — causing the giant screen to go completely black! 😳

3. It was cool enough that Italy has an espresso machine in their dugout for the WBC, but the team is also celebrating home runs with espresso shots. We need this in MLB.

4. I had never heard of Danny Ramirez before today, but I like his attitude.
Over the weekend, a photo went viral of Jessica Alba sitting at a blackjack table with Joe Burrow. Naturally, social media assumed there was something between them.
“I’m Joe Burrow I make $55 million a year and can make Jessica Alba laugh while playing blackjack” 😂 pic.twitter.com/r1XlQa5shq

However, Alba is dating Ramirez, and he made sure to remind everyone of that by posting this pic on Instagram after the Burrow-Alba pic drew so much attention.
5.
While promoting the NFL Free Agency edition of The Pat McAfee show, Pat McAfee said he doesn’t see a return to WWE happening for now.

6. The latest episode of SI Media With Jimmy Traina features a conversation with CNBC media and sports reporter Alex Sherman.
Sherman talks about the big deal with Paramount buying Warner Brothers Discovery and how that will affect sports fans. Will TNT events air on CBS? Will this cause streaming prices to increase? Will this affect CBS Sports Network?
Sherman also talks about how the NFL is about to have a major impact on all other sports when it comes to rights deals, the FCC looking into sports and streaming, the rise of Kalshi and Polymarket and much more.
Following Sherman, Sal Licata from SNY TV and The Sal Licata Show joins me for our weekly “Traina Thoughts” segment. This week’s topics include Sal’s non-vacation vacation, the WBC, the Yankees retiring CC Sabathia’s number, a ridiculous take from Bruce Pearl and more. In addition, I read some reader emails and Apple reviews.
