It's Game 7 day in the NBA
There are two spots left in the Conference Finals round of the NBA playoffs. I have to admit, I haven’t sat down and watched an entire series this postseason.
But I've caught a game here and there. That includes last night's Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks game, in which the Mavs punched their ticket to the next round with a 117-116 Game 6 win.
The two teams were trading shots at the end, with the Mavericks ultimately proving they didn't want a Game 7 more than OKC proved that they did.
That series didn't need a Game 7, but there are two that do, and they're both going down today. The Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks will settle things in the Big Apple, while the Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver Nuggets take care of things well above sea level.
Even in the NBA, Game 7s are fun to watch.
Not to be outdone, the NHL is getting in on the action. They have one spot left to fill in their Conference Finals and that will be settled by a Game 7 between the Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks on Monday night.
Who doesn't love a Game 7?
First boob TKO in UFC history
There was history made last night inside the octagon during UFC Fight Night 241 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. There was a TKO thanks to a punch in the boob.
It happened during the Melissa Gatto and Tamires Vidal fight. The two fighters were exchanging blows in the middle of the octagon when a punch from Gatto caught Vidal directly in the boob.
Vidal seemed to think that a shot to the boob was the same thing as when a male fighter takes a shot to the nuts. She turned towards the referee as to ask for time to recover.
It turns out getting punched in the boob doesn't work the same way. Gatto gave her a couple of more shots to the body for good measure before Vidal dropped to the ground and the referee stopped the fight.
To show that she wasn't faking the pain from the punch to the boob, Vidal left the octagon with a giant bag of ice pressed against her affected breast.
TKO via a strike to the boob is a tough way to lose a fight.
That said, the UFC isn't for the weak. If you step into the octagon, there's a chance a skilled professional fighter will punch you in the boob.
Wild footage of a meteor lighting up the sky in Spain and Portugal
Now let's turn our attention to the night sky over Spain and Portugal last night. There was some sort of meteor, or alien craft for those who like going down that path, that shot across it.
The footage from those who witnessed the ball of light as it made its way across the sky is wild. At one point, as the meteor flies through the sky, it becomes so bright it almost looks like it's daylight.
A weird bright blue daylight. Check it out:
A possible crash site hasn't been located, and it's not even clear at this time if the meteor even hit the ground. In any case, it created some awesome footage.
Northern Lights / Aurora from Everett WA, Friday Midnight...free show courtesy of mother nature
Speaking of awesome. Brian F. got some awesome pictures last weekend in Everett, Washington during the Northern Lights show.
- Brian F:
I'd love to know what Sunny Hostin thinks about the meteor and the Northern Lights. If she can blame an eclipse, an earthquake, and cicadas on climate change, then you have to believe she can add these two to the list as well.
Wedding Rules
Last weekend I wrote about a couple who came up with 15 insane rules for their wedding guests. We're talking about things like "pace yourself when drinking" and "do not sit down all night."
I thought it was insane to send out the rules in the first place and Ken S. agrees.

Re: the wedding rules question:
Obviously it’s their wedding, but if I received an invitation with this (or any) list of rules attached I would have to respond with my regrets, as I would definitely be already booked for whatever day the wedding was.
I agree completely. People get too caught up in everything has to be perfect, and I don't want this or that at my wedding. I get that it's their big day, but relax. In the end, none of it matters and nobody cares.
If you're trying to keep the RSVPs down, then by all means send out your list of rules.
That's all I have. Have a great Sunday. Enjoy the Game 7s. I'll see everyone next Sunday. The inbox is open. Send whatever you want my way at sean.joseph@outkick.com.
