Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day, friends of OffBall. I hope you’re enjoying a relaxing day off. Especially since the sports calendar is starting to heat up again. So, aside from stowing away your white outfits and marking your calendar with start-of-seasons and playoffs and finals, there’s even more to do. But worry not—I’ve curated the list for you below.

Bill Belichick and UNC will face TCU tonight in the final game of week 1, but in his first-ever game as a college head coach. Do a last-min cram sesh on all the off-field drama before you hunker down to watch.  

Speaking of studying up, if you haven’t been able to attend the US Open this year, this slideshow will help give you a feel for what you’re missing. And if you’re more into the doing part of sport rather than the watching part, spend today training like a tennis pro.

For the frequent shoppers in the chat (newsletter) might I recommend hitting up some Labor Day sales? Rowing Blazers’ is particularly lit. Here are the best sneaker sales. And here’s some athleisure.

We aren’t getting a blue moon for a long time, but Stephen A. Smith just gave a lukewarm take that will make you believe anything’s possible. Or it will make you question reality. Or it will make you feel nothing. Anyways, it’s worth a watch regardless. 

And finally, go on a hike (nature, urban, trail run, or otherwise), and snap some photos with this weird (positive) little camera. Send me your pics (if they’re good).
