Doc's racing report

I love me a good holiday weekend. Got absolutely ZERO commitments this weekend. It's totally WIDE open. No parades, no work, no NOTHING!



Whatever you're doing this Labor Day weekend, have some fun & be safe! And DON'T DRIVE DRUNK!



In the news this morning, a recall on those squishy toys that kids love so much, an unknown/unidentified animal is attacking people in NH, Gloria Steinem died at age 92, a bunch of Dolly Parton-themed corn mazes are popping up around the country, the WI father who tripped a kid during a youth football game finally speaks, and speaking of corn mazes...a farm in Indiana has one in the shape of Charlie Kirk.



In sports, the Brewers dropped last night's game to the Cubs & split that four-game series, UMASS upsets Rutgers & Colorado blocks a last-second field goal to beat GA Tech last night!! The Badgers are at Lambeau on Sunday night to take on #4 Notre Dame, the SEC is suing LSU after the got an injunction yesterday, and Michael Lombardi has officially resigned from his GM position with UNC.



We talked about what's on TV & streaming this weekend and what's new in theaters. Plus, some new info about what happened with the announcer from "Wheel of Fortune". And speaking of game shows...a surprising number of real-life killers have appeared on TV game shows in the past. Who knew???



Also, check out the latest addition to the popcorn bucket craze!



Check out this app created by a couple of teenagers in #Florida that helps to fight food insecurity by allowing people to send fresh pizzas from local restaurants directly to charities in their community. And some amazing news on the battle against Alzheimer's as a woman battling the disease with an experimental drug has experienced a remarkable turnaround!



Of course we talked about the holiday weekend including the results of a survey about Labor Day, the hardest working states in America, the places people are traveling to this weekend, and how much gas is gonna cost ya!



Elsewhere in sports, the Athletic released the results of it's investigation into Dianna Russini and her relationship with Patriots head coach, Mike Vrabel. Enes Kanter Freedom is suing the Chicago Sky, John Hunter Nemecheck is out at Legacy Motorsports after this season, and some chick from OnlyFans gets kicked out of the Dolphins stadium.
