Day 136

• Brett, why did you have to do that?
• I need to go back to bed.  We've not only lost Regis Philbin, but a founding member of Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green.  And it's still about seven hours to go in the day.
• One of the first WNBA games of the season, and both teams walked off the floor during the National Anthem. 
• Oklahoma is moving it's season opening college football game up a week to August 29th.  Good fucking luck.
• Olbermann did an abbreviated Thurbercast tonight to talk about how he's feeling, etc. -- then deleted the original by mistake.  Dammit.
• The MLS Is Back Tournament has made it to the knockout stage.  Orlando defeated Montreal.  Philadelphia defeated New England.
• Several WNBA players are wearing the name of Breonna Taylor (one of the main police deaths people are protesting) on their jerseys.
• Chris Jericho's 16th Saturday Night Special:

• Lee Westwood is skipping the PGA Championship, noting that the United States isn't taking the virus seriously.  He's right!!!     
• And the first major problem with the new season:  Matt Davidson of the Reds has tested positive for the coronavirus today -- he played Opening Day yesterday.  UH OH!!     
• Juan Soto scratched for the Reds, the Braves scratched two catchers with symptoms, but no positive test.
• Motorist in Dallas has opened fire on protesters there, protesting Federal involvement in trying to quash an increasingly-sticky protest situation nationwide.
• The European Speedrunners Association has begun their 2020 main Summer marathon -- at home of course.  Main event is tomorrow on their Twitch channel, as another "Break The Record" event will give a $2,500 cash prize to the winner of a fastest-run-in-14-hours event with seven players on Doom Eternal, with a $1,000 cash bonus if that player breaks the recognized World Record with no major glitches -- and if no player breaks the world record, then the current record-holder ("Xiae" of the United States, 1:09.40.110) wins the bonus cash.
