Sunday Snapshot - 5/17

For those of you who have lost track of what day it is, today is Sunday.

And since it’s Sunday, that means another Sunday Snapshot. For those who missed last week, Sunday Snapshot helps you out by giving you the best sport-related programming on TV each day for the upcoming week.

This past week was full of excitement with The Last Dance, Korean Baseball, and LIVE SPORTS! What’s in store for this week? Let’s find out:

Sunday, May 17th, 2020: The Last Dance—ESPN (9 p.m.)

We’ve arrived at the final two episodes of the Michael Jordan docuseries and it has been better than expected. The only complaint I have about the series was it’s lack of Space Jam coverage. Oh well, maybe we’ll have a G.O.A.T. article next week to make up for it.

Monday, May 18th, 2020: Cavaliers/Celtics, 2008 Eastern Conference Semifinals - Game 7—NBATV (6 p.m.)

This one hurts me to write but there was nothing else scheduled for Monday. Watch Paul Pierce lead the Celtics to a thrilling victory over the Cavaliers to reach the Eastern Conference Finals. Never forget that 2008 was also the year that Paul Pierce was taken off the court via a wheelchair just to use the bathroom (allegedly).

Tuesday, May 19th, 2020: NC Dinos vs. Doosan Bears—ESPN2 (2 p.m.)

Tuesday means it’s time for Korean Baseball! The Doonsan Bears will look to give the NC Dinos their second loss of the season in this mid-week baseball action. Maybe if we’re lucky, we’ll get another legendary picture of the mascot formerly known as Swole Daddy.

Wednesday, May 20th, 2020: Ultimate Disc - AUDL Championship: Dallas Roughnecks vs. Toronto Rush—FS2 (3:30 p.m.)

This one goes out to all of my Ultimate playing friends (John Simmons and Christian Taylor). I don’t think this is live, but it’s an obscure sport that looks like it could be exciting. If no one has ever watched it before, it’s basically live… right?

Thursday, May 21st, 2020: Yankees @ Red Sox from July 24, 2004—MLB Network (9 a.m.)

If you can’t tell, I’m a big baseball guy. Normally Thursday is reserved for Thursday Night Football. However, today it’s reserved for Thursday Morning Base-Brawls. Rewatch the game that featured the infamous Jason Varitek/Alex Rodriguez fight.

Friday, May 22nd, 2020: PGA TOUR Classic: 2016 AT&T Byron Nelson—CBSSN (11 a.m.)

Friday seems to be one of the worst sports days on television, however, there is always golf. I know nothing about this tournament, but I do enjoy sitting a believing that I could golf like them if I had the same equipment. FYI: I can’t.

Saturday, May 23rd, 2020: Bayern Munich vs. Eintracht Frankfurt—FS1 (12:30 p.m.)

Once again… LIVE SPORTS! Bayern Munich is one of the juggernauts of the Bundesliga and they should have an easy day against Eintracht Frankfurt, who sit in the middle of the table. But, for those of you who are still getting used to the Bundesliga, it’s vital to check out Bayern Munich.
