This scares me, knowing what I'm going through...

I've had a health challenge or two in my late 50's this summer.  Vein procedures have apparently been partially botched, leading to blood clots in some of my veins -- and I've had irregular heartbeat and afib a couple times this summer.

So it scares me of the latest professional wrestling news out of Pittsburgh.

It's still in the semi-unconfirmed phase as far as the resolution, but the word out of an independent Pittsburgh wrestling show tonight is that Andy Williams, former AEW "The Butcher" of "The Butcher and the Blade" tag team, collapsed at the end of his match, leading to a CPR attempt and a trip to the hospital.

Reports coming in just as I type this indicate Williams has died.

And we've got a live one in Week One!!!

Western Michigan defeated #16 Michigan 12-7 today at the Big House.

That's not what anyone will tell you.


Ladies and gentlemen, a rigged result.

This Blog Should Not Exist, I Don't Remember What Part After 3.xxx: The Clancy Case, And Killing Us All And Letting Their God Sort It Out

This is included in that long-dormant series for reasons which, I hope, will become obvious by the time this is over.

I am left with some thoughts after the Clancy mistrial:  She admitted to killing the kids, but postpartum depression, etc. put the trial to an insanity defense.

And it appears that a jury of nine women and three men in Massachusetts had only one (presumably male) juror not go with the insanity defense.  Mistrial, we'll do it again.

And the bleating and the raising of the groyper pro-rape contingent on X (to the point I have drawn a second suspension in less than 12 hours on my...  10th...  12th...  more???  X account yesterday for basically telling one of them that if we meet, I will kick his ass and he better come armed to shoot me -- and he better if he wants to spew the bullshit) has left me with the following thoughts:

1) If you are interested in removing not only the privilege of voting, but also all involvement of women in places of power, influence, or safety...  How, in that world, can you have any more children being born at all?  Because the ultimate place of those three things is motherhood - and in polite White Right circles, that's the only purpose you have for women in the first place.

If some or all women aren't fit for voting or office or safety issues, etc. because of hormone possibilities, they sure as fuck aren't fit for carrying or raising children.  Especially in a world where all privileges and positions are removed from women.  Would that not immediately result in retaliation against the power (murdering more children)?

2) Some people (probably pro-rape men, mostly) are asking that if the hormonal defense can be used for murder, then why can't it be used for rape??

....

....

Like it has been for years by valuable men like the Stubenville, OH football team, the Stanford swimmer, etc.?

Rapists like Bill Cosby and Donald Trump?

3) People are forgetting she doesn't "get away with it" if she does get the insanity defense.  That means she probably gets permanently locked up.

Of course, I guess any result short of someone finding where she is being kept and shooting her full of holes (or doing so in open court) would not satisfy people.

Which, of course, leads to my fourth and final point...

4) Much like courting transgenderism as mental illness of it's own right, is this another move toward identifying those to be considered mentally ill and executing them all?  (Transgenders, eventually the LGBs, homeless people, many prisoners, etc.?)

Something to keep in mind as the White Right Men (and some of the women almost certainly raped and beaten into submission) are spouting off...

Pre-season Week 3 Fine Blotter

This'll be quick.  Only five for the week.

Point of Emphasis, both for helmet fouls:
  • Buffalo:  Jalen Kilgore, $5,560
  • New Orleans:  Danny Stutsman, $7,011
All the others:
  • Indianapolis:  Cam Taylor-Britt, Striking, etc., $7,791
  • Minnesota:  Jermar Jefferson, Face Mask, $5,583
  • Pittsburgh:  Donelko Slaughter, Taunting, $4,917

Pre-season Week 2 Fine Blotter

Forgot to do this -- Week 3 should be out later today.  I doubt, again, that any incidents here will count as strikes on the new policy until regular-season Week 1.

Policy-level fines first:

Helmet fouls:
  • Arizona:  Karson Sharar, $5,372, on the opening kickoff
  • Dallas:  Malik Davis, $6,735
  • Las Vegas:  Dre Ogunbawale, $7,222
Hip Drop Tackle:
  • Cincinnati:  Shaka Heyward, $5,972
Defenseless Player:
  • Arizona:  Dadion Taylor-Demerson, $7,148
  • Arizona:  Wydett Williams, $4,935 (all three Arizona fines in the first half, only Taylor-Demerson's was flagged)
Blindside Block:
  • Kansas City:  Jake Briningstool, $4,972
Outside the Points of Emphasis:

Conduct, all this week for Taunting:
  • Buffalo:  Chase Lundt, $5,868
  • Las Vegas:  Jermod McCoy, $6,729
  • Tennessee:  Cedric Gray, $7,131
Striking, etc:
  • Tampa Bay:  Ted Hurst, $6,985
Sounds like the big loser of the preseason week was facemasks:
  • Indianapolis:  Trey Washington, $5,583
  • New Orleans:  Treyton Welsh, $5,583
  • Seattle:  Andre Fuller, $5,112
  • Seattle:  Aaron Smith, $4,917 (the two Seattle fouls were three minutes apart in the fourth quarter, but to the NFL's credit, both of these were flagged)
  • Tennessee:  Oluwafemi Oladejo gets the biggest fine of the week, $10,625.

Well, that's it for me and Wheel of Fortune...

STIFF WARNING:  The referred-to article shows a number of references to child sexual assault, child pornography, and pedophilia.  Be advised.

I have to be very careful writing this for two reasons.

One, it's sensitive material to begin with.  There are definite lawsuit possibilities if one is not very careful.

Two, if I'm not very careful, I may do something I have been criticized for, baby and bathwater through association.

That said, after a BuzzerBlog article on the now-firing of former Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton, I have some very pointed questions.

If the story were as somewhat-innocent as I believed it was when it was breaking, I would've preferred it this way.

The now-reported reason the flight attendant called for law enforcement on the May flight is that Thornton was on a child-porn chatroom website for 57 minutes on a flight he was taking -- in Wheel of Fortune gear.

On top of that, a podcast which was done by a person under a pseudonym which MAY be tied to Thornton (the article, as well as I, have to be very careful here for lawsuit purposes) plugged said website and outs at least two people on it as self-professed pedophiles.

Two years ago.

TMZ has picked up the story -- but no confirmation has been able to be tied YET.

That said, Thornton is now 100% fired and being wiped from all current-season episodes already taped.

So, two questions:

1) Are law enforcement aware of this situation, going back to the 2024 podcast and working on POSSIBLE ties between that podcast and this incident?

2) How many conservative markets, even with the status of Wheel of Fortune as basically THE biggest show on television, may be preparing to pull the plug?

The only reason I'm not clarion-calling for it yet is that we haven't 100% got a tie between the podcast and Thornton.  That said, it is rather clear that Thornton at least hangs with people who are child-attracted, if the referred incident is accurate from the May plane flight.

Various odds and sods, 9/3/26

  • (P)Enes Kantor "Freedom" has sued everybody regarding his transphobic ejection from a Chicago WNBA game.
  • A Louisiana judge has cleared the way for LSU to recruit and play former NFL training camp players...
  • One day after the AD of Georgia has proposed no less than throwing LSU out of the SEC conference entirely if they try.
  • And the conference has now sued LSU to try to block the process as well.
  • Steve Ballmer is looking into legal options after the NBA findings.  Try it.  Maybe then we can get a vote on throwing the Clippers out of the Association once and for all.  
  • A flight attendant at a flight in May reported Wheel of Fortune announcer Jim Thornton, and asked for authorities to meet the plane on the ground.  It appears, not only from the veiled reports but from the fact the production is scrubbing early-season footage of Thornton -- he tried to get into the women's restroom or private flight attendant quarters.  He's been suspended, but, given the scrubbing, you can almost scribble in "fired"
