Wednesday Roundup: Cal Raleigh's historic season, massive ESPN exit, and more

Good Wednesday morning to you all. I'm halfway into my energy drink that doesn't even give me energy because my body is used to 300mg of caffeine on a daily basis.

So, before I have that midday crash, I need to share with you some of the biggest headlines in sports and pop culture.

Here is the Wednesday Roundup.

Dumping All Day

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh continued his historic season by surpassing Mickey Mantle for the most home runs hit by a switch-hitter with 56.

Generations from now, the kids will look at the history book app on their new brain rot device, and they will see the "Big Dumper" ahead of Mantle. What a world.

First Take Exit

Molly Qerim officially announced her exit from ESPN after sharing a message with her fans on her Instagram story. Who will now attempt to police Stephen A. Smith's rants? I can't wait to not find out or watch.

ESPN isn't saying goodbye to everyone. It was announced that Malika Andrews has re-signed with the company. Shifting to the NFL, Draymond Green slammed New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll. New York Jets first-year head coach Aaron Glenn takes full responsibility for team's slow start. Baker Mayfield takes a shot at a Houston Texans safety after an emotional win.

On the pop culture side of things, Cristin Milioti won an Emmy for her performance as Sofia Falcone in "The Penguin." All was great, but our Gotham City queen had a great fall with the award after. No fall is stopping the leader of the Gotham underworld.

You know my big back can't let you leave without talking about food. Krispy Kreme has done it again with the release of their new Fall Fair Doughnuts. Blue Ribbon Apple Pie, you will be mine.

Enjoy that hump day, y'all!
