Week 5 of the Giants season once again brought disappointment in the form of a nasty injury bug that sidelined three of the G-Men's most lethal weapons, ultimately handing New York the 44-20 loss at Dallas . In the second quarter of Sunday's matchup with the divisional rival, star runningback Saquon Barkley hobbled off the field with a pretty nasty ankle injury that will sideline him for the next few weeks at least. In the same quarter, quarterback Daniel Jones also was sidelined after he tried crossing the goaline for a touchdown and was hit hard in the helmet, sending him off with a concussion. To add insult to injury (pun intended) wide receiver Kenny Golloday is also out with a knee injury. All in all, a great Week 5 for Giants fans every where -.-.

As we all know, the Yankees season is over with the future of the team still up in the air. However, one positive thing did come from this season, after years of waiting, Yankees legend, and arguably one of the best players in the history of the franchise, Derek Jeter has finally been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame! Austin was fortunate to be there through his work and gave a recap on one of the best days of his professional and personal life!
