Welcome to Sunday Screencaps where the best reliever in the game gets to take the mound and keep himself in shape for those calls to the bullpen. There is a relief appearance coming up at the end of the week and into much of the following week.
That will take us right up to a couple of days before the biggest holiday of the summer. But we have a few days to go before that arrives and there are matters to attend to today.
First up, is former Texas A&M hurdler Kennedy Smith. She went viral several years ago, months after her final competition.
Her ability to find the camera on the track turned her into a social media star. That love of the camera has helped in her career away from the track. Since calling it a career in hurdling, she's been seen on the sidelines covering the UFL and is now a Professional Fighters League reporter.
Smith is also a Houston Texans host. Those have opened doors up for an opportunity she never even dreamed of putting on her bucket list, covering the World Cup as a host.
She's in Houston for the World Cup festivities and hasn't lost a step when it comes to being in front of the camera.
An 85-year-old man out "having a little ride" in his favorite car was arrested for allegedly street racing in Florida. According to police, two cars appeared to be street racing earlier this month just before midnight.
A deputy, reports Fox 35 Orlando, saw a red Corvette and a Nissan sports car hitting speeds of more than 100 miles per hour. He pulled over the Nissan and found William Bosworth, 85, behind the wheel smoking what appeared to be a cigarillo.
The officer asked Bosworth if he was street racing. He replied that the other car had swerved at him and he was driving fast "to get away from him before we caused a problem."
Bosworth, who told the officer he was "having a little ride in my favorite car," was arrested and charged with excessive speeding and street racing.

Chris, you're absolutely correct. I did need this. But now I want to track down the kid. Whatever happened to mom and her baby? Were they born with far less hair than their Bigfoot father? Are they living among us?
Or were they forced into the wilderness to live with dad, because of the excess body hair? Unfortunately, I don’t think we'll ever get the answers to these questions.
I'd like to believe the hair wasn’t an issue and they've gone on to live a full life without issue. Maybe a weekend every year they spend out in the wilderness to fulfill a desire they've never quite understood.
- Jim T in San Diego:
Our house is a two-story south facing structure on a quarter acre plot (pretty good sized for SoCal!). So with that second floor, we don't get much direct sunlight in the backyard. I went over to the local independent garden shop and they walked me through exactly which blend of grass to put in our yard. I'm sure there's someone near you with the same level of expertise.
Never sodded (it was too pricey out here), but just seeding and overseeding got us a pretty luxurious lawn for the kids to play on when they were young.
Good luck!
SeanJo
The sodding, we did ourselves (which I don't recommend). Our neighbor did their backyard and had enough leftover to do half of ours. We only had to buy the other half and it looked great for a few months.
It grew, not a lot of it died off initially, but it wasn’t meant to be. The heat. The two dogs and the lack of rain that followed were too much for it.
BACKSEAT GRILLMEISTERS ARE THE ABSOLUTE WORST AND OTHER PETTY COMPLAINTS ABOUT BBQING
We'll see how it goes with the seeding and the creeping from the front before looking for an expert.
Just some brats and red hots.

It doesn’t have to be complicated. This is great and reminds me, again, that I need to get my hands on a charcoal grill. It's been a long time since I've had meat from a charcoal grill.
Keep it up. Keep tossing your meat on a grill and keep sending it my way. Whatever the grill and whatever the complexity of the meat you're cooking. I'll take it all.

Happy Father's Day. Hopefully, you're having some meat on the grill today. If you do, send it my way. I'll be back (for my relief appearance) on Friday.
That's it for today. Game 2 of the College World Series Championship is on this afternoon. Oklahoma has a chance to end it after winning Game 1 on Saturday, 9-3.
If your meat is on the grill, send your meat my way. I want to see it and whatever else you want to send in my inbox, which is always open [email protected]. You can also follow me on Twitter and over on Instagram if you'd like. Feel free to slide into the DMs.
