The annual Days of '47 Parade (9 a.m., Ch. 5) kicks off Pioneer Day; the annual Real Salt Lake game (vs. Kansas City) wraps it up (9 p.m., KMYU and UniMas).
Real Salt Lake players will be featured in a couple of games this weekend. They desperately need a win against rival Sporting Kansas City in Friday's late game, and it's always nice to beat K.C.
And then there's the Gold Cup ... and the RSL players expected to be part of the championship game won't be there. Kyle Beckerman and Nick Rimando were on the bench on Wednesday when Team USA lost to Jamaica 2-1; the Americans will play in the meaningless third-place game (Saturday, 2 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13) against Panama.
RSL's Demar Phillips, who entered the game late in Jamaica's win over the U.S., and his teammates will take on Mexico for the Gold Cup championship (Sunday, 2 p.m., Fox Sports 1).
Also this weekend — a shockingly large number of people cared when ABC ran an interview with Bruce Jenner a few months back. We'll see how many tune into the new reality series "I Am Cait Jenner" when it debuts Sunday at 9 p.m. on E!
