The work week is in the books which means it’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the weekend. At Shooting the Moon, the weekend means enjoying everything the sports world has to offer. Every Friday I’ll be highlighting some of the key events for you to watch in the Weekend Viewer Guide. Here are just a few things to keep an eye on.

Tonight (8/19)

Usain Bolt’s final race in the 4x100m Relay – 9:35 PM (NBC)

The Jamaican speedster looks to win his third gold medal at the Rio Olympics. Another gold would give him a historic nine for his career, tying him with Carl Lewis for the most by a track and field athlete. Even more impressive, it would clinch a perfect 9-for-9 for Bolt, who lines up for his final Olympic race.

Preseason Football – Various times (1 game on NFL Network/regional coverage)

The preseason rolls on in the NFL with 3 games on the slate for tonight. The NFL Network will be airing the Dolphins and Cowboys live from Jerry’s World at 8:00 PM. In other action tonight, the Jets and Redskins square off at 7:30 PM in Landover, MD. The nightcap features a contest between the Chargers and Cardinals in San Diego at 9:00 PM. Unfortunately, due to the TV schedule in the regular season if you aren’t in any of the media markets, you will have to wait for these replays on the NFL Network.

Saturday (8/20)

 UFC 202: McGregor v. Diaz 2 – Main Card @ 10:00 PM (PPV)

Originally slated as the main event for UFC 200, Irish bad boy Connor McGregor finally gets his rematch with Nate Diaz on Saturday night. There is no love lost between these two foes. No titles are on the line, just a lot of personal pride between two of the biggest smack talkers in the sport. Think I’m kidding? Just watch this, I’ll wait. (NSFW) Doesn’t get more ridiculous than that for a pre-fight press conference.

The co-main event of the evening features a light heavyweight bout between Anthony Johnson and Glover Teixeira in what could be a virtual number one contender’s bout for Daniel Cormier’s light heavyweight championship. Both men have knockout power, so expect some serious fireworks in this fight.

Toronto Blue Jays v. Cleveland Indians – 7:10 PM (MLB Network by region)

This is a potential playoff preview between the leaders of the AL East and AL Central divisions. Toronto features one of the best lineups in the American League and is in a dead heat with Baltimore for the top spot in the division. Cleveland has been the surprise leader in the AL Central and is trying to fend off a late charge from Detroit. Depending on where you are watching this is one of the two games that will be on MLB Network on Saturday night.

NFL Preseason – Tripleheader starting at 4:00 PM (NFL Network)

 The NFL Network will be airing three preseason games Saturday night featuring:

– New York Giants at Buffalo Bills – 4:00 PM

– Baltimore Ravens at Indianapolis Colts – 7:00 PM

– Kansas City Chiefs at Los Angeles Rams – 10:00 PM

Sunday (8/21)

USA Men’s Basketball Goes for Gold – 2:45 PM (NBC)

Sunday afternoon, Kevin Durant and company aims to win a third straight Olympic gold medal for USA Basketball in Rio. They will face either Serbia or Australia in a rematch from the preliminary round (as I’m currently writing this the semifinal between these teams is being played). Both of the potential opponents for Team USA challenged the gold medal favorites, who have looked surprising vulnerable compared to previous iterations of this team. Team USA will still be the odd-on favorite to bring home the gold medal, but are not nearly the lock that they usually have been in Olympic competition under coach Mike Krzyzewski.

I’ll be back on Monday to recap the major stories from this weekend as well as continuing my NFL season preview. Follow me @thereal_jmooney and go like the Shooting the Moon page on Facebook. Enjoy the weekend everyone!
