For the first time in almost a decade, ChoiceSports Monday returns to the Official Site of Kwame Alexander. In honor of the 10th Anniversary of this blog, we're going to be creating different logos for the other legacy daily posts that we plan to do this week, and lemme just say that it feels to be doing this concept again, even if it's for one week only. We got a lot sports to talk about, and we couldn't have picked a better time to do so than during the 2024 Summer Olympics which are talking place right now in Paris, France. We also got results from, the MLB, WWE SummerSlam, a look at Week One of the NFL preseason, and for the first time ever on this very blog, a look at the match card for AEW All In London, coming later this month.
