UFC ring girl Chrissy Blair stole the show at the White House, wild high school baseball ruling & Lindsey Vonn

UFC 250 on the White House lawn, ring girl Chrissy Blair, and a wild high school baseball ending capped a massive weekend of sports and entertainment

Whew. What a weekend. For a random weekend in the middle of June, when it's usually pretty quiet around these parts, America got AFTER it.

Well done, everyone.

We had the College World Series. We had the Knicks. We had Stanley Cup action. We had the USMNT boat-racing Paraguay. We had golf, and NASCAR and MLB.

We also had that pesky UFC fight on the White House lawn Sunday night that capped the whole thing off in spectacular fashion. And just for good measure, WAIT until you see the "show" the Democratic Party put on at the same time.

Your jaws will drop. Trust me.

Welcome to a Monday Nightcaps — the one where UFC ring girl Chrissy Blair put America in a trance to celebrate the big 2-5-0. Amazing.

LINDSEY VONN DITCHES HER UNDERSHIRT IN A FIERY RED PANTSUIT, MAGGIE SAJAK IS A FORCE & COACH ATTACKS UMPIRE!

What else? I've got the best of the rest from a loaded weekend of #content, the aforementioned Democratic rebuttal, Lindsey Vonn dusting off a dress for the first time post-surgery, and one of the wildest endings to a high school baseball game you'll ever see.

Whew. Like I said, it was a BIG weekend. Let's roll.

Grab you something tall, strong — and make it a hurricane (not a real one, please!) — and settle in for a Monday 'Cap!

For those who weren't keeping tabs on the Weather Channel's Twitter account Sunday afternoon (and hopefully that's all of you), they pushed out the above post hours before the UFC event at the White House about thunderstorms, lightning, and massive swarms of mosquitoes.

Shockingly, none of it happened. Stunning, I know. The weatherman was wrong again! As someone who has lived in Florida his entire life, that's called "Tuesday" down here. Whether it was some poor intern posting from that account, or something more sinister, I have no idea. None. Zero.

But they found themselves in a whirlwind of trouble after Trump's team fired off this friendly little rebuttal:

"This event is about celebrating America’s unmatched greatness after 250 years — which apparently doesn’t sit well with the friendless loser who wrote this bulls--t clickbait headline. Rain or shine, we’re celebrating our great country no matter what. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"

Amazing. "Friendless loser" is a low-key great insult. Never heard that one before, but it's going straight into the arsenal! Well done.

Anyway, the whole thing went off without a hitch, and gave us some surreal images ... and reaction. We'll get to those in a bit, but first, let's go ahead and get this class started with UFC ring girl Chrissy Blair, who battled the elements and became a star last night:

Imagine hating America today. Goodness gracious, what a country! Sign a peace treaty in the afternoon (don't ask me about the Xs and Os of it, that ain't my wheelhouse), and host a UFC fight that night with ring girl Chrissy Blair stealing hearts.

This is what the founding fathers envisioned all those years ago. I'm sure of it. What a weekend.

Speaking of, let's get to the best internet #content from the past two days, including a ROCKING alternate broadcast from Democratic National Headquarters last night!

Again, just an excellent weekend all around, especially for June. I'm usually having to scratch and claw for content this time of year. Not right now. It's coming fast and furious!

A couple thoughts ...

The best. Can't believe that dude never won a Super Bowl. Criminal. OK, let's rapid-fire this Monday class into a big Monday night.

First up? Somehow, we've STILL got state championship high school baseball going on around the country, including in the Illinois suburbs, where the wildest few innings I've ever seen unfolded over the weekend.

Take a look:

Whoaaaaaaaaa Nellie! Never seen anything like it, especially the first part of the clip.

Where do we stand on this, class? Did the catcher not hold onto the ball long enough? I think it's complete nonsense, personally. To me, it's just another example of an umpire injecting himself into a moment where he didn't belong.

I played baseball for over a decade, at every level short of professional baseball. I was a catcher before I got Piazzed later in my career and moved to first.

That's an out 100 times out of 100. It just is. I have NEVER seen that call made in baseball. He caught the ball, transferred to his other hand, and then threw it away because the game was over.

I know the first base coach was pointing it out immediately, which makes me think the whole thing happened a little too quickly, but whatever. You don't make that call in that spot. Frankly, I'm not sure you make it ever.

He clearly caught it. He clearly transferred it. The out was clearly made. There is no reason to make a call there. None. Zero.

As for the other play a few innings later ... you have to know the situation if you're the outfielder. Have to. No excuses.

You cannot catch that ball, especially at the angle you were forced to take. Ronald Acuna Jr. couldn't have thrown out the runner at home in that spot. Nobody could. It's just not possible.

You have to let that ball drop and live to fight another pitch. Tough to blame a kid (a KID) in that spot, especially when he's been trained his whole life to catch that ball.

But you can't catch that ball. Brutal way to lose a state championship.

OK, that's it for today. Good start to the week. Good start to the second half of June.

Lindsey Vonn continues to work her way back from shredding her entire leg earlier this year, and decided to wear a dress, apparently, for the first time since her surgery this past weekend.

Big step for her, and she NAILED it.

See you Wednesday.
