The sports world is abuzz today as several major moves have been made across the league. On this week’s episode of THE RUSH with Jared Quay, we take a look at some of the biggest headlines in sports, including Derek Carr’s move to the New Orleans Saints, Geno Smith signing a contract extension with the Seahawks, Damian Lillard’s triple double, and the NBA rescinding one of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s triple double rebounds.
Derek Carr made waves when he announced his move to the New Orleans Saints, signing a 4-year, $119 million contract. This move will give the Saints a much-needed boost and allows Carr to join a team that has been to the playoffs in each of the last three seasons. With Carr in the fold, the Saints are now primed for a deep run into the postseason.
Geno Smith also made news when he inked a contract extension with the Seattle Seahawks. Smith had been a reliable backup for Russell Wilson and this deal will ensure he stays in Seattle for the foreseeable future.
Meanwhile, Damian Lillard continued his impressive season with a triple double in a win over the Detroit Pistons. Lillard has been nothing short of sensational this year, and he is a big reason why the Blazers have been one of the best teams in the NBA this season.
Finally, the NBA was forced to rescind one of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s triple double rebounds after an official review determined that he had not actually grabbed it. Antetokounmpo still finished with a triple double, but it will not be recognized in the official record books.
It’s been an exciting week in the sports world and THE RUSH will be back tomorrow to bring you more of the news and highlights that you need to know. Until then, stay safe and don’t forget to check out our previous episodes.
