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

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? 🤣

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.

If you’re home alone, no problem. Star in your own show and strut your stuff, just like Cleveland Browns receiver Jarvis Landry.

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.
