Sports Illustrated adds Charley Hull to its swimsuit roster, NASCAR's nosedive & do we have anthem fatigue?
'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.
Over the hump and safely into another big week(end) of football. And baseball! Sure, Rays-Brewers ain't exactly Mets-Yankees from 2000, but the Fall Classic is still the Fall Classic.
Lord knows it's better than the whatever it is they're doing in the WNBA at the moment. Thank goodness that season is just about over. Goodness, it'll be nice when the curtains close on that league here in a few days.
It'll be smooth sailing after that! Just football, baseball, hockey and the NBA ... if you so choose. Beautiful time of year.
Let's roll.
Welcome to a Thursday Nightcaps — the one where LPGA star Charley Hull throws her bikini in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit ring for the first time.
LPGA STAR CHARLEY HULL HAS FRIEND TO THANK FOR NOT GETTING DRUNKEN FOREHEAD TATTOO AFTER NIGHT OUT AT THE CLUB
That's right. We've got a new rookie on this year's roster, and she's a modern-day Andrew Luck in terms of hype. What a steal for SI. Well done.
What else? I've got Pat McAfee's first ESPN alt-cast of a Monday night game going terribly, the big-wigs over at NASCAR HQ experiencing a similar situation, and we've got more national anthem drama ... somehow.
The president has even weighed in this time! I'll be honest with you, I have national anthem drama fatigue. I'm just over it. I don't care anymore.
Beyond the obvious disgust, do you guys care anymore? I'm curious.
OK, grab you your favorite horror movie in anticipation of tomorrow's National Horror Movie Day, and settle in for a Thursday 'Cap!

Those of you who have been in this class since the beginning (nearly five years now!) know that I'm a horror movie buff. I love that stuff. I grew up watching scary movies with my mom.
In fact, she accidentally took me to a screening of Rob Zombie's Halloween II as a teenager, and the whole movie basically just turned out to be a bunch of sex scenes. We didn't talk for two days.
Anyway, I maintain that Halloween is the greatest horror movie of all time. It's certainly the best slasher movie out there. The theme song. The suspense. The ridiculous sequels and spin-offs. It's just perfect. The entire franchise is great, except the most recent movie, which was trash.
Mount Rushmore of Halloween movies? Sure, why not?!
Honorable mentions: Halloween 6 (Paul Rudd's debut!) and the first Halloween of the most recent reboot trilogy. The other two STUNK.

And that concludes the cinema portion of today's class. You're welcome!
OK, let's get this thing started with someone who is the opposite of scary: LPGA star, Charley Hull!
