Nothing better than a three-day weekend.The best.
They're undefeated.Nothing has stood the test of time quite like the excitement for a three-day weekend.It does beg the question ...
which version do y'all prefer? Getting the Friday off, or the Monday?Our next two 'three-day weekends' will actually play this out in real time.After Saturday, the next big holiday is Labor Day.
That's when we traditionally get the first Monday of September off.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMPersonally, I'd rather that one.Mondays are the absolute worst day of the week, and it ain't particularly close.
I can stomach a Friday.Everyone is naturally in a better mood on a Friday.
We work on Fridays, but we all sort of mail it in a bit, too.But a Monday is just miserable.Getting a Monday off immediately changes the tune of the entire week.
Everything shifts.You start work on a Tuesday, and your body is naturally in a better mood.
You're also starting the week one step closer to the end of it, and you didn't have to do a thing.Easy call for me.Anyway, all that to say ...Welcome to a Thursday Nightcaps — the one where World Cup fever sends one West Coast reporter flying into the air during a Mexico watch party.What else? I've got Johnny Manziel going absolutely NUTS on a Cleveland radio host, a Wimbledon scare, and how about the viral cat girl who got engaged on top of the Empire State Building yesterday?This girl is NUTS, but also, she might be a genius.
Welcome to class, Angela Nikolau!OK, grab you a Modelo, hang on for dear life, and settle in for a Thursday 'Cap!Mexican fans lift a supporter into the air as they watch the round of 32 match between Mexico and Ecuador on large screens set up along Reforma Avenue, in Mexico City, Mexico on June 30, 2026.(Daniel Cardenas/Anadolu via Getty Images)I know nothing about soccer, and I don't pretend to.
Frankly, it's not my thing.Not my sport.
Not my wheelhouse.That being said ...what a tournament.
I can't believe it'...
