Brittany Mahomes hits the gym and stuns fans, more WNBA drama & 16-year-old girl pummels middle school player

'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 .

What's that? Today is our first Football Friday of 2026? Buddy, say no more! Who has it better than us? Nobody.

Imagine not living in America today.

It must be just miserable.

Sure, it's only high school football, but I don't care.

Give me the bands and the pageantry.

The cheers.

The obnoxious horn that goes off in the middle of a play because some sophomore is working the scoreboard and doesn't know what he's doing.

I want it all.

I've missed it.

We've got high school football tonight.

We've got college football next weekend.

Then it's Labor Day weekend — otherwise known as the most underrated holiday weekend on the calendar.
