SALT LAKE CITY — Three fun stories in the world of sports in today's From Left Field!
1. NFL quarterback helps find missing child
The Oakland Police Department was looking for help in finding a missing 3-year-old child, and some help came in the form of a retweet from Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr.
Here's the original post:
And here's the lieutenant's post, thanking Carr for sharing it. It seems like Carr's online action really helped!
And Carr was happy too:
Good news all around.
2. Man gets "Cowboys Super Bowl LI Champions" tattoo, regrets it now
The Dallas Cowboys were eliminated from the playoffs this weekend, thanks to some timely heroics from Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. It didn't come in time to save this man, though:
As you can imagine, he's getting all sorts of criticism from around the NFL world, including members of his own fan base, who are accusing him of jinxing the Cowboys this weekend. My advice: just don't get a tattoo like this.
3. Meanwhile, in a grocery store...
