Powerade takes nasty shot at Sydney Sweeney's nude gambling ad, MLB fans fume & have commercials gone too far?

'Nightcaps' is a daily column that catches you up on the biggest sports, news and culture stories you may have missed while pretending to do work at your desk. It runs Monday-Friday on OutKick.com.

Middle Hump Day of October, and it's a big one.

We've got postseason baseball tonight. We've got college football tonight. I hear there's a big cold front headed south for the first time this fall.

Sure, it's gonna stop just short of as they always do, but I'm happy for everyone else. You all deserve it. It's been a long, hot summer. There's nothing like that first real cold front of the fall. It was my favorite part of living in Boston when I was there a decade ago.

You can just smell it. You can feel it. That first crisp morning of the fall? It's the best. We have to wait another month for ours, but I know it's right around the corner.

We're close, folks. Soak it all in. Best time of year.

Let's roll.

Welcome to a Hump Day Nightcaps — the one where Sydney Sweeney catches a stray from the marketing folks over at Powerade because people weirdly think her naked GAMBLING ads are some sort of shot at women's sports.

For the life of me, I still don't get that one. But, that same outrage mob is also pissed at Shane Gillis today for making a joke on "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE."

There's just no helping these people. It's pointless to even try.

What else do y'all wanna talk about? I've got a high school coach out in Oregon getting canned for running up the score. Wait till you see what he did!

Also, MLB fans are PISSED at the league for moving tomorrow's ALCS game up five hours, and while we're on the subject of naked Sydney Sweeney ads, I'd like to ask the class a question about commercials on the way out.

Sound good? Good!

Grab you your favorite dessert for National Dessert Day, and settle in for a Hump Day 'Cap!

Easy one. Key lime pie. Maybe it's the Florida Man in me, but there's nothing better than a solid piece of key lime pie. And yes, the one from Publix absolutely counts as a solid piece.

I got an email from a reader a few months ago berating me for saying Publix key lime pies were elite, and it was just nonsense. If you really think that, you've clearly never had one. They will change your lives. Trust me.

And that concludes the culinary portion today's class.

You're welcome!

Now, let's al take a swig of Powerade to wash it down, and check in with the ongoing drama surrounding the provocative Sydney Sweeney ad:

Amazing. Silly, yet amazing.

So, Powerade is apparently waging war on Sydney Sweeney and Novig because, as you can see, they took Sweeney's nearly nude gambling ad as a shot at women's sports.

They've sla
