| Good morning! Today is Monday, June 15 and I'm Jimmy Hascup, here to help you get your week started. We got to relive the home-run-hitting summer of 1998 last night, but what have Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa been up to in retirement? Plus, MLB talks with the players have been futile, but there could be major news this week. Tom Brady put a Hall of Famer's son through a workout, while the PGA Tour made a safe, triumphant return. Scroll down to get the day's biggest headlines. But don't forget: |
| We asked why you fell in love with sports. These are those stories: |
| From Mike Jones, USA TODAY Sports NFL columnist: |
| "Grandson, do you understand what this means? This is history!" The images and emotions of January 31, 1988, remain vivid. Sprawled on the floor of my grandfather's living room in tiny Frytown, Virginia, I could sense the excitement as Doug Williams and the Washington Redskins racked up touchdown after touchdown during that legendary Super Bowl XXII second quarter. At halftime, he and my father, Rick, explained the deeper significance of Washington's dominant performance. They described plight of the black quarterback and how Williams' heroics were at last shattering decades of stereotypical shackles. I still had much to learn. About football. About culture. The world around me. But that's the night I fell in love with sports. |
