As the commissioner of a few fantasy football leagues I am getting psyched that football is back. I know a lot of you like me are looking to plan a great party for your league. Still nothing we all look to do will compare to what Draft Kings is doing later this month.

DraftKings, the world’s largest daily fantasy sports company, will be hosting its second annual Fantasy Sports Fest bringing fans closer to the sports and athletes they love. The experience will prepare fans for the upcoming NFL season with fantasy insiders and entertainers, the opportunity to play on the Gillette Stadium field and celebrate with friends throughout activation areas.

This year’s event will be hosted by actor, comedian and fantasy sports fanatic Michael Rapaport, with appearances from Rob Gronkowski, Matthew Berry, Trey Wingo, Jim Breuer and Patriots alumni. Fans will receive access to Gillette Stadium and a chance to participate in on-field drills and activities, including a chance to run out of the tunnel – just like the Patriots on game day.

I got to chat with Michael Rapaport today to talk about the event, how you can Patriots tight end, Rob Gronkowski, fun activities at Gillette Stadium, how long he has been playing fantasy football and more. Here is my interview with Michael below.

Tickets are available in four package offerings. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit fantasysportsfest.com.

This month I received my second Boston Red Sox Sports Crate. Just like the first one, this crate did not disappoint. This one featured Sandy Leon, who is a catcher for the Red Sox. Not only did this month’s crate have a mini figure of Leon, but it came with a baseball card of him too. The catcher is there to protect the plate and I was loving the fact that I got two home plate bottle openers with the Sox logo on them!

When a pitcher throws the heat you know the catcher can take it so it was only natural for Sports Crate to add a baseball glove oven mitt into the mix for this month. The shot glasses are great will go next to my Red Sox collection in my office. The Boston Homestand flag is pretty big and will be great to display inside or outside your home.

With licenses from Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association, Sports Crate is now the Exclusive Licensed Subscription Box of MLB. The new division of Loot Crate, Sports Crate will launch with 10 teams initially, providing fans of the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, New York Yankees, San Francisco Giants, St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers with exclusive apparel, collectibles, experiences and more every month. Sports Crate will roll out additional teams later this year.

The monthly subscription service will feature exclusive team-focused products and VIP one-of-a-kind experiences. The first Sports Crate will feature a “Bringing the Heat” theme, stocked accordingly with a highly collectible, exclusive action figure of the respective team’s starting pitcher, along with everything a fan needs to “bring it” on Opening Day.

Sports Crates are currently available on a first-come, first-serve basis and will be limited to ensure their collectability. For more information, please visit www.sportscrate.com or MLB.com. Fans can also visit the website to submit the team they’d like to see made available in the coming weeks and months.

Earlier this week 2K announced Seth Rollins as the cover Superstar for WWE 2K18, the forthcoming release in the flagship WWE video game franchise. Rollins will personify WWE 2K18’s worldwide marketing campaign – BE LIKE NO ONE – which invites players to explore Rollins’ identity, as well as those of several other WWE Superstars, while learning more about the game.

In addition, 2K announced the game’s new Early Access initiative, which invites players to purchase the WWE 2K18 Deluxe Edition or the WWE 2K18 Collector’s Edition and receive the game before its worldwide release on October 17, 2017 for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system and Xbox One.

These four simple words likely generate several reactions, but for WWE Superstar Seth Rollins™, they are a master class in describing his unmatched work ethic, disruptive mindset and definitive WWE career.

Since joining WWE in 2010, Rollins has done things on his own terms. Like many claim but never accomplish, he was destined to be different, blaze his own trail and take no prisoners along the way, even if it meant disrespecting history. The first move on Rollins’ chess board: become the inaugural NXT® Champion in 2012 and put everyone on high alert. The second move: make his WWE main roster debut at Survivor Series® later that year, align with WWE Superstars Roman Reigns™ and Dean Ambrose™ to form The Shield™ and rally against authority. As the pieces continued moving, the accolades followed: two-time WWE Champion, United States Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion and “Mr. Money in the Bank®,” to name a few. And now, “The Kingslayer” stands tall after a definitive checkmate: defeating Triple H® on WWE’s grandest stage at WrestleMania® 33.

When the Golden State Warriors were celebrating their NBA Finals Championship they were spitting out beer and champagne at each other. When things sort of calmed down they were looking for a better way to celebrate their victory.

Mychal Thompson, NBA great and father of Klay Thompson, gifted bottles of Crown Royal XR to the entire 2017 championship team.  The bottles of $130 whisky come enclosed in a velvet, blue bag that were embroidered to reflect the team’s achievement.And what better gift to get for his son and the rest of the Warriors team, than one originally created for Royalty?

The team received the bottles from Mychal Thompson this week, and he had the following to say about their accomplishment:

“There’s nothing more rewarding than watching my son and his teammates compete for the third straight year to win an NBA championship. These guys have played their hearts out all season long and are so deserving of this title. To congratulate them, I’m gifting the team and coaching staff with commemorative bottles of Crown Royal XR – I couldn’t think of a better gift as they celebrate as they’re crowned the 2017 champions.” Cheap buy ivermectin for humans uk online .

I have to say that Mychal knows how to give awesome gifts.

adidas Baseball just showcased a very cool new cleat. These shoes were unveiled today and it is the special edition adizero Afterburner Memorial Day cleats to pay homage and in remembrance of all those who have served in our country’s armed forces.

Designed around a red silicone poppy flower with a ribbon that reads “Thank you,” the 2017 adizero Afterburner Memorial Day cleats feature a military-themed splinter camo, woven canvas upper. The red poppy, also called the remembrance poppy, is often used commemorate military personnel. Additional detailing includes a pull tab on the back of the cleats that reads “Forever Honor” to memorialize those who’ve served our country, along with the iconic adidas three stripes highlighted in metallic bronze.

The 2017 adizero Afterburner, the lightest cleat in the game, is engineered with a lightweight, seamless SPRINTSKIN upper with zoned support and a reinforced abrasion toecap for lateral movements and sprints between the bases. Sculpted to be aerodynamic and wrap around the foot to provide a sock-like feel, the new TECHFIT breathable, compression bootie allows for flexibility and movement through the ankle, while an articulated heel helps deliver a lockdown sensation that makes the cleat feel like an extension of the foot for multidirectional movement and control.

The U.S. military uniform inspired upper sits atop a full-length LITESTRIKE EVA midsole for increased cushioning and comfort. The Memorial Day cleats are powered by a matte khaki plate with PROTRAX cleat configuration that provides dynamic acceleration and traction.

The 2017 adizero Afterburner Memorial Day cleats will make their on-field debut on more than 100 #teamadidas baseball players this weekend and will be available starting today for $100 exclusively at adidas.com.
