Soccer reporter Giusy Meloni provides vacation coverage outside of World Cup, vintage Penny Lane & Montana

On this beautiful Sunday morning we will start Screencaps with Italian football reporter Giusy Meloni. He’s not covering the World Cup in America, but that doesn’t mean he’s not covering an important event. HE.

I’ve said this many times before and I’ll say it again; I’m not a fan of on-field action in the sport of football. I’m not going to fake it for the World Cup every four years either. I’m not interested at all.

Scandals off the field, viral moments with fans in the stands (both real and fake) and the elite talents who follow the sport are a different story. It’s fun and some of the best around.

ELLA LANGLEY CELEBRATES NUMBER. 1 ALBUM LAKESIDE BIKINI AND MIKE VRABEL (KIND OF) APOLOGIZES

This brings us back to Giusy Meloni. With Italy not in action and not receiving a call-up similar to the one Eleonara Incardona received for the World Cup, she had to cover her own holiday.

His reporting from a luxury lakeside hotel brings up Joe’s call to TV networks last spring. A call that says it should be Covering sports in the United States to live.

So far this call has not been answered. But this Italian actress who started out as a sports reporter doesn’t seem to care much about what she’s supposed to be. It focuses on what’s actually happening, so the bikini holiday becomes more important than the World Cup.

New York Knicks ended their 53-year championship drought

New York Knicks and Timothee Chalamet are NBA champions. They ended their team’s 53-year championship drought by winning the 5th game 94-90 in San Antonio on Saturday night.

Real Knicks fans Just like Chalamet went to Texas to watch the Spurs put together another game and watched Jalen Brunson score 45 points to personally make sure there wasn’t a Game 6.

There was no Taylor Swift in the corny t-shirt look. Only Wemby and his friends lost another game in which they jumped to take the lead. As a team, they perfected this.

MAGA BEAUTY MARGO MARTIN WAS MAKING KNICK FANS Sweat, SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM WAS COMING OUT TO THE GYM AND OLD-SCOL MLB!

The Spurs’ incredible ability to get ahead shouldn’t overshadow what the Knicks are doing. They were truly the team of destiny. Fake fans didn’t slow them down and no lead was safe.

The Knicks know who doesn’t join the bandwagon when they start winning, too. They know who’s there when the games don’t get as much attention as the finals.

That’s exactly how Timothee Chalamet saw it in the locker room, celebrating the championship with the Knicks. I think I also saw him on a private jet or something. When all is said and done, this man may have the ring he deserves.

Montana Meat!

Hello SeanJo! Montana Tim is checking in after an unforgettable May! It’s still cool and humid in Montany! I’m hoping for some warmth to come our way for the “Big One” coming next month. We’ve had a few nice days but nothing to be really happy about. I just went on another journey around the sun! You have a special card to share and of course smoked meat! Pork loin, asparagus, and pineapple…a match made in heaven and in Montana! We also had a marinated pork loin and a tri-tip tip that was so tough it was inedible! I gave it to the dog and he started barking at me because he couldn’t chew! However, the filet was very tasty.

More Montana Meat!

Then we ran the gauntlet…..rib steak (my birthday meal), Tim-bone and strip steak! We’ve progressed to some Montana survival food……aka pork ribs! This is all just training for the “250th Birthday” party! Oh, and my special birthday card!

These are great as always. Uploading images has been a much bigger pain in the ass since OutKick integrated into FOX News, but they’ve been worth the trouble. There’s meat, a ton of meat, and some of the best views around. Montana Tim, you did it again.

backyards

-Jim T from San Diego writes:

California gardens are a different beast than most other places. There is not much rain, but there is plenty of sunshine and the occasional frost signals fear.

So we can start planting whenever we want, harvest throughout the year, tear out and start again whenever we want.

When we bought this place 17 years ago, the backyard was flat dirt. We rototilled, installed a sprinkler system, and grew a gorgeous lawn. Then came the drought, water was rationed (and very expensive) and we turned off the irrigation and the water went back to flat ground.

Last year my wife turned the backyard into a garden and we were able to host our youngest child’s graduation party there this week.

It’s not where we want it to be yet, but it’s getting closer.

Also: good lighting is cheaper than good landscaping; hides flaws.

It looks great, Jim. I encountered a similar situation in my backyard; The grass and lack of rain nearly wiped out everything. We tried grass but ultimately failed and now I’m doing my best to move the Bermuda grass from front to back. It’s a slow process, but some progress is being made. This year we’ve added some seeds to the mix and again, progress is being made, though slowly.
