Vikings 0-2 After Losing Second Game of the Season, and the Baseball Hall of Fame Puts on Savannah Bananas Exhibit

 

The Minnesota Vikings have sustained their second loss in five days, after falling to the Philadelphia Eagles 34-28 yesterday. According to the Associated Press, only 31 of the 270 clubs (11.5%) that began a season 0-2 advanced to the playoffs since 1990. The article quotes Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins:

 

“Shot ourselves in the foot with the turnovers. Similar story now the first two weeks in that case. ... Just difficult to win in this league when you lose the turnover battle by one, let alone by the margin we have lost it by, so we have to fix those mistakes and not let it continue.”

 

The AP also reports that the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York, is opening an exhibit dedicated to the Savannah Bananas today. The Bananas were founded in 2016, and are an exhibition barnstorming team known for their wacky version of the game called “Banana Ball.” Bananas owner Jesse Cole told the AP:

 

“Banana Ball is bigger than we ever could’ve imagined. We have people traveling hundreds, even thousands of miles to our games, because they’re seeing something they’ve never seen before. It’s not traditional. It’s completely fun and entertaining.”

Team USA Loses to Germans in Basketball World Cup Upset, and NFL Season Opens with a Loss Dealt to the 2023 Super Bowl Champions

 

In a huge upset, the Germans have eliminated Team USA’s chances of winning gold in the Basketball World Cup with their 113-111 win in Manila today, the Associated Press reports. Germany’s Andreas Obst and Franz Wagner scored 24 points and 22, respectively – more points than any team ever has against a USA Basketball team featuring NBA players. Germany will now play Serbia – who just beat Canada – for the World Cup title on Sunday. Canada and the US will battle for bronze on Sunday as well. Reacting to his team’s win, German coach Gordie Herbert said:

 

“It’s a special group. The way we played, the way we played together, we stuck together when things got tough and we had players who made some huge plays. One more to go.”

 

The NFL season opener last night saw the Detroit Lions narrowly defeat reigning Super Bowl champions the Kansas City Chiefs 21-20, The AP reports. The Lions’ David Montgomery, a former Chicago Bears running back, secured his team’s win with an 8-yard touchdown with 7:11 remaining. The Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce notable missed the game owing to an injury sustained in practice two days earlier. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes commented:

 

“I mean, you’re losing I think the best tight end of all time. It’s going to have an impact on the game, but others guys have to step up, and they’re going to have to step up in moments, because I’m sure there will be times when he gets doubled, and so we’re just going to have to rely on guys that are young and talented to step up and make plays.”
