NBC is getting into the ring with “American Gladiators,” which has been revived by the Peacock for midseason… “The timing to bring the franchise back is perfect, and NBC is the ideal home,” Packer said. “It’s a very big, grandiose type of show.”

Baseball season is back, along with the customary “opening pitch”.
Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory tosses out the first pitch for the Reds opening day game. This is easily the WORST first pitch in the history of baseball…

I love the reaction of Eric Davis after the ball flies past him. Classic…
