ajax clean

Las Vegas - If I threw out the word Ajax, you would immediately think of the blue or green cylinder can used for cleaning. And if you're of a certain age, you might even remember their tag line or slogan, 'Stronger than dirt!' Well, today we ask you to think of the other Ajax, the AMAZING soccer team from the Netherlands. It's pronounced eye-yaks, and MAN, can these kids play. Tell me more Eck? Ajax was PERFECT in Group C of the UEFA Champions League, winning all six games. Of course you were wondering about their nickname. It's de Godenzonen (Sons of the Gods). Love the nickname but it's their recent work that has us and our bank account STOKED! Lemme take you back to last December. Ajax has played 10 games since then in all competitions, and won ALL 10. But it's the margin of victory that is totally INSANE. They have outscored the opposition, you sitting, 39-1, yes, THIRTY NINE to ONE!!! That's for real, you can double check me. Not saying that the opponent, Benfica, is terrible, but MAN, 39-1. And in the Champions League, they have lost ONLY ONCE in their last 21 games on the road, and that was AT Liverpool back in 2020. Also want you to keep an eye on #22 for Ajax, Sebastien Haller, who is the LEADING scorer so far in Champions League. Gonna CLEAN up with Ajax!!!

On the college hoop board, we're gonna swing out West and tickle Washington over Washington State. Not quite sure why State is favored by nine points over the Huskies, considering that the Cougars have lost FIVE in a row. Not saying that Washington is all that, but they have covered eight of the last 12, and should stay within a touchdown of their in-state rivals.
