‘Nightcaps’ is a daily column that provides an update on major sports, news, and culture stories you might miss while working at your desk. The column runs from Monday to Friday on OutKick.com.
Having that Tuesday feeling, we delve into Nightcaps today, covering topics from Drake Maye’s milkshake consumption to an Air Jaws sighting. Starting with Drake Maye’s milkshake habit, the Patriots quarterback revealed in Men’s Health that he is reducing his intake from up to three milkshakes a day. It’s surprising that he maintains his NFL role despite this indulgence, but he’s human and likely sneaks an occasional trip to Steak ‘N’ Shake.
Moving on to the shark sightings, a viral video shows a Great White shark breaching like a gymnast off the California coast. Though usually seen in South Africa’s waters, these acrobatics have reached American shores, causing beachgoers to reconsider their trips to the ocean. Fortunately, this doesn’t occur in swimming pools.
NHL’s Calgary Flames goalie Devin Cooley recently stood out due to his quirky interviews, following a good game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Known for attracting unique characters, the goalie position now has Cooley recognized for his introspective comments during interviews, drawing colleagues’ attention.
Discussing Super Bowl halftime shows, Jay Z reportedly hired himself. While past shows lacked memorable moments, potential acts could bring a refreshing touch. Suggestions include Metallica or Foo Fighters for rock performances, Jack White for his distinctive style, or even The Muppets for a nostalgic rendition of ‘Rainbow Connection.’ The inclusion of popular country artists could also transform future shows.
Regarding the World Series, it may become the first entirely indoor series due to the potential closing of roofs at Tropicana Field and American Family Field. Though it ensures timely scheduling, fans often prefer outdoor games, especially in unique weather conditions. Hopefully, Milwaukee considers opening the roof for a genuine sporting experience.
Stay tuned for more updates in tomorrow’s edition of Nightcaps!
