Clearly, Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout has options if baseball doesn’t work out.
And looks like we’ve got a little neighborhood rivalry on our hands!
Anaheim Ducks defenseman Brendan Guhle is coming for you, Trout.
Brendan Guhle (@guhles_) or @PhilMickelson? You be the judge. ⛳️ #HockeyAtHome

Colorado Rapids defender Keegan Rosenberry has the nailed the bouncing technique.

We’ve heard the saying dogs are a man’s best friend, but New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday and Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love don’t seem to agree.
New York Devils right wing Joey Anderson probably doesn’t agree either.
What kind of TikTok is this? ?

And should someone tell Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle that his vacuum isn’t a pet?
This quarantine has taught us many things – one of them being that our favorite athletes have some serious dance moves.
Just check out former Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Bieska.

Are Baltimore Ravens backup quarterback Robert Griffin III and his wife not relationship goals?
Bet you can’t do it like the Griffins ?@RGIII

If you’re home alone, no problem. Star in your own show and strut your stuff, just like Cleveland Browns receiver Jarvis Landry.
And remember, you have no one to impress but yourself.

In order to stay fly, we have to keep working on our fitness.
Get it, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster.
Minnesota Whitecaps forward Kendall Coyne is getting her reps in, too, while her husband, Los Angeles Chargers offensive lineman Michael Schofield, seems to have a little bit of work to do.
Well, @KendallCoyne has it down. Michael Schofield (@SchoBlue75) on the other hand… he might need some practice. ? #HockeyAtHome

Good news is he’s got plenty of time to up his game. Better yet, we all do!
Stay active, keep working and we’ll see you on the other side.
