Michael Jordan finally sold his Chicago mansion
Plus the WNBA playoffs are set and the Reggie Bar is back
The Reggie Bar was an iconic 1970s candy bar made with chocolate, caramel and peanuts. It had a distinct orange packaging and was named after ‘Mr. October’ himself, Reggie Jackson. The candy bar is now making a comeback with the help of a Canadian couple with a passion for nostalgic treats. They’re now available on Amazon as well as at select retailers. Jackson earns a % for every sale.
Tennis season is over and fashion season has started for Taylor Fritz and Matteo Berrettini. Fritz beat Berrettini at the US Open 3 weeks ago in straight sets.
Nike announced yesterday that sitting CEO and President John Donahoe will step down on Oct. 13 to be succeeded by longtime executive Elliot Hill. This following a tough year for NKE 0.00%↑ , which is down 24% on the year. The stock traded up 8% after hours following the announcement.
Maya Joint, an 18-year-old tennis player at University of Texas and originally from Australia, was forced to forfeit $140k in US Open prize money to maintain NCAA eligibility. This seems crazy in the world of NIL, but the NCAA is the NCAA.
We’re 2 games into the NFL season and Rome Odunze’s dad is posting videos on Twitter of Rome getting open in the endzone without being targeted by Caleb Williams. He has since clarified he posted in response to a critique from announcer Dan Orlovsky on Rome’s win rate against DBs.
Yesterday was the final day of the WNBA season. The bracket is set for the playoffs to begin on Sunday:
TMZ is reporting that someone has finally agreed to purchase Michael Jordan’s 56,000 square foot property outside of Chicago. It’s being sold to an unknown buyer for $14.8 million after first being listed in 2012 for $29 million. Seems like a pretty good deal when you compare it to the Babe Ruth $24 million jersey sale last month.
The Tampa Bay Lighting froze the names of more than 6,000 season-ticket members and suite holders into the bolt at center ice. Would love to see a behind the scenes video on the creation of this.
A Pro Football Hall of Fame voter has anonymously reported that a big reason Robert Kraft hasn’t been inducted into the HoF is because of the 2007 Spygate scandal. Seems a bit unnecessary induct owners to begin with.
