• Well, this is an interesting quip of news to file for (maybe (MUCH)) later:  The XFL has been sold, and one of the main new owners of the bankrupt league:  The Rock.  Dwayne Johnson is now a principal owner of the XFL. 
• The Cardinals outbreak is up to seven players and six staff members.  Olbermann is right.  CALL.  IT.  OFF!!!     
• According to Bob Nightengale, the Marlins are going the "reconsitution" route I spoke of in an earlier Tweet on this situation -- half the team is being cobbled together from various sources, and...  hoo boy. 
• Big XII announces their farce attempt at a college football season -- 10 games, 9 conference. 
• Tonight's Olbermann: 

#Thurbercast No. 88 included baseball’s continuing Homer-Simpson-Cliff-Dive, plus “A Box To Hide In, “The Sheep In Wolf’s Clothing,” and “The Owl Who Was God.”https://t.co/SuVhDuulV9
