The latest play off the "in our genes" line from Sweeney's ad came from the Big 3 basketball league, a 3v3 focus that is televised by CBS Sports and has grown in popularity since its inception in 2017.
The league, created by Ice Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz, features 12 teams with rosters filled with both former NBA and international players. Their social media team posted a clip of the league to X on Thursday, July 31, that read: "Basketball is in our genes. Tune in Saturday at 1 PM ET on @CBSSports"
Although the responses were mixed in the comment section, the post drew plenty of attention from fans and those who simply came across it in passing.

Among the most popular names in the league are Joe Johnson, a member of the Triplets, who's a two-time league MVP and two-time Big 3 champion.
So far this season, the league is led in scoring by Glen Rice Jr., son of former NBA star Glen Rice, followed closely by ex-NBA standout Michael Beasley, Jonathon Simmons, Jordan Crawford and Earl Clark. All five players spent time in the NBA, while names like Greg Monroe and Jeremy Pargo, leading the league in rebounds and assists, respectively, are also former NBA players.Big 3 Basketball League Trolls Sydney Sweeney, American Eagle Ad first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 31, 2025

Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube Jake's 2025 free agent rankings are in. Is Kyle Schwarber really ahead of Pete Alonso? Guest host, Bailey Freeman, aka Foolish Baseball, pinch hits for Jordan Shusterman and gives his thoughts on Jake's list. Where does he agree and disagree with the rankings mid-season? The Yankees lost again, and this time Aaron Judge was in the lineup. The guys give their thoughts on the situation in the Bronx and take a look, maybe regrettably so, at the Yankees mentions following their 2-0 loss to the Rangers on this week's "Sorry for Your Mentions." You provided the questions and now Jake and Bailey will provide the answers. They reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from the audience! Do MLB players get jury duty? What other non-baseball stadiums should host a game? How exactly should we be evaluating MLB managers? The guys discuss. The Heart and Hustle Award, possibly MLB's least talked about award, is given out by the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association to the player who demonstrates a passion for the game of baseball and best embodies the values, spirit and traditions of the game. Each team has a winner, and then an overall winner is selected from each of the 30 individual team winners. Bailey tries to guess each team's choice. Jordan will do the same on Friday. Who knows ball more? We will find out. Join us on this mid-week edition of Baseball Bar-B-Cast.

Packers-Lions season opener draws top broadcast crew at CBS
The Green Bay Packers' season opener against the Detroit Lions will get the top broadcasting crew at CBS. The Week 1 showdown, which is scheduled for a 3:25 p.m. local kickoff time from Lambeau Field on Sunday, Sept. 7, will get Jim Nantz and Tony Romo in the booth and Tracy Wolfson on the sideline for CBS. Being the top game on CBS should mean a majority of the country gets to see Packers-Lions in Week 1. The only other competing game in the same time slot on CBS is Texans-Rams, another terrific matchup. Although the network only announced the first three weeks, Week 1 likely won't be the only time the Packers get the best from CBS in 2025. Matt LaFleur's team plays Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in the 3:25 p.m. time slot on CBS in Week 6 and the upstart Denver Broncos in the 3:25 p.m. time slot on CBS in Week 15.
