SALT LAKE CITY — Peyton Manning pokes fun at Tom Brady and Deflategate; DJ Khaled pays homage to NBA on TNT’s Craig Sager; and an amazing scorpion kick golazo. More fun stories from the world of sports in today’s From Left Field.
1. Peyton Manning takes a shot at Tom Brady/Deflategate at Rob Lowe Roast
The retired life seems to be going well for former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning. He’s still starring in many commercials and continues to display his great sense of humor.
Manning’s humor will be on display at the Comedy Central Roast of Rob Lowe, which will air on the network on Labor Day.
During a 30-second clip of the roast, Manning talks about how in 2012, Lowe tweeted that Manning was not going to play football anymore — something that ended up not being the case. While poking fun at Lowe, Manning took a shot at his old rival: New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
Nicely done, Peyton.
2. DJ Khaled wears Craig Sager inspired Air Jordan 1s
There’s no question the world of sports is fully supporting NBA on TNT’s Craig Sager as he battles leukemia. Recently, the USA men’s basketball team, via Carmelo Anthony, sent their support to Sager prior to their gold medal victory in Rio.
#SagerStrong continues to be a great hashtag to show support.
One person who is SagerStrong is none other than DJ Khaled. For those who don’t know, Khaled is the owner of a giant basketball shoe collection. On Tuesday, the man behind many of today’s hip-hop hits went on Instagram to show his support for Sager by wearing customized Air Jordan 1 shoes, designed just like many of Sager’s unique suits.

Very cool by Khaled to show love to Sager. I don’t know about you, but I’d wear those shoes any day.
Later on Tuesday, Sager's son, Craig Jr., tweeted that his dad will receive a third bone marrow/stem cell transplant in three years thanks to an anonymous donor.
Thanks to an anonymous donor, tmrw my Dad will enter an unimaginable milestone w/ his 3rd bone marrow/stem cell transplant in a 3year span🙏💪 — Craig Sager II (@CraigSagerJr) August 30, 2016
Keep up the good fight, Sager! You have many people, including DJ Khaled, supporting you.
3. Watch this amazing scorpion kick golazo`>
Golazos are a thing of beauty to watch. Whether it’s a via a free kick, counter attack, scissor kick (chilena) and so on, there’s nothing better in soccer than watching a goal that leaves you in awe.
How about a scorpion kick golazo for you?
FC Avanhard Kramatorsk (Ukraine) defender Dmytro Ulyanov gave the world another golazo to enjoy with a scorpion kick goal against Ternopil.
Simply lovely. To time that run and flip perfectly is something many soccer players can’t do. Bravo, Dmytro!
