If you're a huge sports fan, then this would be among the worst weekends ever, as Seth Meyers points out (in an albeit indirect way), to get pulled away from the comfort of your Lay-z-boy recliner, sports channel access and endless bags of chips.

Pick a sport; this weekend likely has something for you to excited about: a multi-million dollar boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather; the Kentucky Derby; the NFL draft; and tonight's baseball game between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees, just to name a few.

Apparently there was also an important soccer event this week. Russia began the search for its 2018 World Cup mascot. Jimmy Kimmel gives us a rundown of past winners (and losers).
