THE MORNING BREW Through tragedy, the sports world comes together as one
Q. How many times in the past 25 years have non-Americans won the Boston Marathon?
TRIVIA OF THE DAY
A:23
Monday, the city of Boston was celebrating Patriots' Day, which is normally an enjoyable day in the Boston area. The most notable sports event on this day was the Boston Marathon, ran every year to celebrate this holiday. But what happened about halfway through the race shocked the world.
What was supposed to be a joyous day turned into tragedy in just a second. As runners kept running and crossing the finish line, two bombs went off on the sides of the street where bystanders were watching the race. One went off right before the finish line and another one a block away. Many people were hurt. Runners, race watchers and even children were injured. Blood was spewed everywhere, people were helping the victims. Police and ambulances were running through the scene. Screams were heard from all around. Tears mixed with the blood on the ground.
The Boston Marathon is known as the old, drunk uncle of Boston sports.
It's the last of the true festival events that takes place. It is well known, and as the events of what happened unfolded, the rest of the world sat watching the live feeds and videos of what was happening. Later that evening, players of every sport took a moment of silence to write the words "Pray for Boston" anywhere that would show their support. Professional players tweeted saying they would donate their own money to help support relief for the Boston area. The Boston Bruins and Celtics games were both canceled because of what happened. The Bruins
were supposed to play Monday night, and the Celtics were to play Tuesday. On SportsCenter, many of the Bruins players showed a lot of emotion in their interviews. The bombings hit them emotionally because it happened in their city, and in all, it was a very emotional event.
All around the United States, major cities increased security as protection to their citizens. Sporting events had additional security, and many fans also had concerns and said prayers for those who suffered in Boston. The London marathon is coming up, and the top executives for the race have said that additional security and an investigation will take place before and during the race. They also said they will still hold the marathon. They called the attackers cowards and said they will prove to them that the people will stay strong and show their support.
It is an emotional time right now. All you can do is pray for the victims. So far, the count of victims has reached 179.
Three of those were killed and 176 are being treated or have been treated for their injuries. We still don't know all of the details of this incident. No matter if you hate the city of Boston or the teams that play in Boston, you should support and pray for them through this rough time. Through tragedy, we come together as one.

Busch ready for Kansas to maintain his hot streak
It's Kyle Busch's world once again in NASCAR, and everybody else is just sharing track space with him. Until this weekend at Kansas, of course.
Then everyone gets to see just how
far Busch has really come in the last 17 months.
Busch won both the Sprint Cup and Nationwide Series races in Texas last weekend, his second sweep this season, in a huge comeback at the site of his 2011 NASCAR suspension for deliberately wrecking Ron Hornady Jr.
in a Truck Series race.
Now he carries all that momentum into Kansas, his worst track on the circuit. Busch is winless at Kansas in 11 career starts, has only two top-10 finishes and wrecked there during Chase for the Sprint Cup championship races in 2007 and 2010. He also
"It's not that you might not like a
Still, Busch just picked up his first career win at Texas Motor Speedway and he wants to do the same at Kansas, where his average finish is 21st and is one of only six active tracks where he's yet to win a Cup race.
crashed last season.
track or might not like a race ... it's just a matter of trying to figure it out," Busch said. "Once you kind of get it figured out or get the right situations kind of lined up, you can have a shot. I look at (Kansas) a lot like Michigan. That's a place where I struggled for a long time, but we finally were able to
break through there for a win two years ago."
KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
In years past, Busch has dreaded going to Kansas. Not this year.
A year after grabbing just one win across all three NASCAR national series, Busch is red hot again.
