We have a great mix of sports this week with two MLB games, Formula-1 Racing, and ? that?s right ? NFL Football! In baseball, the Kansas City Royals take on the Yankees in New York, and the San Francisco Giants travel down the West Coast to play the Padres in San Diego. Both games are on Friday. In Auto Racing, it?s the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday. And in NFL preseason action, it?s the Hall of Fame Game with the New Orleans Saints battling the Pittsburgh Steelers. In Hot Props, gamble with Tony Soprano on the Emmy Awards.
