NASCAR's Natalie Decker is having a pool party for Daytona weekend, ESPN reporter cries & even more McAfee!

'Nightcaps' is a daily column that catches you up on the biggest sports, news and culture stories you may have missed while pretending to do work at your desk.

It runs Monday–Friday on OutKick.com .

Over the hump and safely onto the other side of the week.

Phew.

We made it.

It's all down(up?)hill from here! We've got NFL football tonight.

Raiders-Texans at 8 p.m. on ESPN! Joe and Troy in the booth and back in our living rooms, presumably.

Not a bad little game for Week 2 of the preseason.

I'll take anything at this point.

Football is close, I can taste it.

I can hear it.

I can smell it.

Nine days till Week 0.

I pumped out two fantasy mock drafts last night.
