SALT LAKE CITY — Three more fun stories from the world of sports in today's From Left Field!

How soccer brings together diverse, religious Utah

MLS' video staff has been traveling around America, taking note of the unique cultures in each city and how they relate to each MLS team. This week's episode of The Movement was about Salt Lake City and how Real Salt Lake integrates the city's LDS Church roots alongside a growing non-LDS population inside of Rio Tinto Stadium. It's a 15-minute video, but it's well worth watching.

Puppy schedule reveal

The opening week national TV schedule and Christmas Day games were revealed by the NBA Thursday afternoon. The Jazz aren't featured, but of course, the defending champion Golden State Warriors are. They decided to use some puppies to announce the games:

Good work with good dogs.

Jeopardy contestants stumped

Jeopardy is one of my favorite TV shows, thanks to the rapid-fire trivia. These players are usually really impressive!

But apparently, college football is not their strong suit. These are relatively easy questions, and these contestants are stumped.
