Good morning, Sports nuts! It’s your athletics author Davey Mac here back with another Sports Report for ya! The Yankees offense stinks! The Devils make a trade! NBA chatter! And more! But first!
Elon Musk’s father Errol does not want his son fighting Mark Zuckerberg…despite The Battle Of The Social Media CEO’s being discussed by both CEO’s as a real possibility. Musk’s dad says: “The thing is if this crazy fight goes ahead, if Elon beats this guy, Elon will be called a bully, being so much heavier and taller, while if he loses the humiliation would be total. It’s a no-win situation for Elon.”
