THIS WEEK IN SPORTS: MAY 22ND — 28TH

On behalf of Spinnable Sports and The Irrational Confidence Podcast, congratulations to Brooks Koepka on winning the PGA Championship. We enter the final full week of May and that means it’s time for Memorial Day Weekend and the Indianapolis 500. This week also brings us to the final week of matches for all of the European Soccer Leagues. The conference finals in the NBA and NHL are lacking drama, but those series could be extended throughout this week. The MLB season continues to move along with the Rays and Braves setting the pace. Some NFL teams are having OTA’s this week, but there could be trades because next week will provide us with numerous June 1st cuts. If you’re looking for College Football content, check out our Head Coach Power Rankings by conference on SpinnableSports.Com. This week does bring us a lot of championships in college sports with Softball Super Regionals, Baseball Conference Tournaments and the Final 4 for Men’s & Women’s Lacrosse.
