Day 123

  • More sexual misconduct in video games fallout:  Ubisoft basically has the entire corporate structure of the company accused on one level or another, and it's cost the studio both it's creative head and it's Canadian head.  When are people going to get the idea that this IS "gamer bro" and video gaming in a nutshell and start taking a look at a wind-down of the whole damn thing?     
  • New Japan Pro Wrestling held it's two cards with 1/3 capacity at Osaka Jo-Hall.  The winner of the New Japan Cup and NEW IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Champion is EVIL.  
  • A longtime USA Gymnastics coach was arrested in Vegas...  for exactly what you'd expect.  Fucking and diddling kids in his charge.
  • 19 days before the NBA season restarts, full practices are on in the Orlando bubble.
  • The Patriots have apparently settled their disputes with Antonio Brown.  Why'd that fucking piece of shit get a dime from anybody?     
  • Just cancel the damn tournament already..  Toronto and DC United will not play today in the MLS Is Back tournament -- it is the second time the match has been pushed back.  One positive test and one inconclusive.
  • Parma in Serie A also has a positive coronavirus case.
  • Wilfred Zaha has been targeted with racist social media from an opposing fan, and that fan has been arrested.  As disgusting as that all is, it's not THAT unusual...
  • ... until you find out the fan is TWELVE!!!
  • And now it sounds as if all junior-college football will be spring this year -- the NJCAA is planning to move all football to spring.
  • Several Montreal Canadiens have tested positive for the coronavirus.
  • In a story which SHOULD get it's own post, but I'm too damn tired tonight:  Washington is changing it's NFL nickname tomorrow.
  • Kenley Jansen of the Dodgers (and his kids) tested positive for the coronavirus at some time in the past -- Jansen never considered opting out of the season, and states he is healthy and ready to go now.
  • "Common sense" is going to put Olbermann on the sidelines a few nights on his Thurbercast.
