Good morning! Here are the plays everybody will be talking about on Thursday:

Mark Teixeira with the walk-off slam. The 409th home run of Teixeira's career was a walk-off grand slam. It was his first career walk-off home run in the regular season, and it was a grand slam, and it came against the Red Sox. After the game, Tex, who is retiring after the season, said: "I hope this was my last home run. I really do. That was incredible. These fans. I love you guys." That's pretty powerful.

Tim Tebow had a perfect start to his career. Tebow stepped to the plate for his first career at-bat in an instructional league game for the Mets. What happened next was nothing short of storybook. On the very first pitch, Tebow, who bats left-handed, took a left-handed pitcher deep to the opposite field. Home run. There is just something about Tebow. He shouldn't be good at anything (at a pro level), and yet, when the games count, he is great at everything.

Moussa Dembele knows how to start fast with a gorgeous goal. Celtic lost its opening match of group play in the Champions League, 7-0, to Barcelona. But the team rebounded nicely, nearly beating Manchester City before settling for a 3-3 draw. Celtic striker Moussa Dembele got the scoring started early with a goal in the third minute. He then gave Celtic a 3-2 lead even earlier in the second half, with this beautiful over-the-shoulder goal in the second minute of the second half.

The Michael Phelps mic-drop bonus. At one point in Phelps' first retirement, it looked as if he were going to give professional golf a shot. That never happened, but Phelps still loves to play, and Wednesday he participated in the Ryder Cup pro-am. As Phelps was walking to the first tee, a fan asked what he was going to use for ball markers on the greens. Phelps had the perfect answer: "gold medals."
