The crew covered some different areas where 'new heights' were showcased on different levels. According to ESPN, on Monday, Steph announced that he would financially support the Bison’s golf teams for the next six years. Howard plans to have their men and women’s golf teams up and running for the 2020-2021 season. Howard previously competed at the Division II level. According to school officials, they believe the team disbanded some time during the 1970s. Nice! This one is a 'new height' that we didn't want to necessarily experience. Apparently the average global temperature in July was 1.71 degrees above the average which is 60.4 degrees F. Breaking the record held by July of 2016 coincidentally. The most alarming part about all of this is that 9 of the 10 hottest Julys have happened since 2005 and the last 5 have happened in the last 5 years. Meaning every year it’s getting hotter and hotter. I BLAME DONALD J. TRUMP! In good news, Tracy Morgan has landed a role Eddie Murphy's, "Coming to America 2" highly anticipated sequel. The former Saturday Night Live star joins a list of new cast members that includes Wesley Snipes, Leslie Jones and If Beale Street Could Talk’s KiKi Layne. Although the sequel will have plenty of newcomers, Coming To America fans will also get to see a few familiar faces. Arsenio Hall, James Earl Jones and Shari Headley are all set to reprise their roles from the original film, which was released in 1988. Production for Coming To America 2 is scheduled to begin later this month. The movie is currently scheduled to debut on December 18, 2020. WE CAN'T WAIT!!! The "Old Town Road" rapper was finally taken out by newcomer Billie Eilish after spending months at #1. The singer’s hit "Bad Guy" has also landed Billie Eilish in the record books – no artist has ever spent nine weeks at number two before hitting the top of the Billboard Hot 100 countdown. At 17, she also becomes the first person born this century to hit number one, and the youngest since Lorde took Royals to the top in 2013. I never thought I would see this happen. Bugatti releases a new $9M car and Floyd Mayweather buys it...not surprised. The $9 Million is just the starting price for the car, and only 10 of them will be made. The cars sold out within minutes of their announcement. This news comes at a time when Mayweather is trending again - amidst rumors that the champ will fight his nemesis Manny Pacquaio - for a second time. Until next time!
