Day 164

 Yep, skipped another one...  Slow day yesterday.

  • Thom Brennaman has been fired from the NFL Fox broadcasts for his homophobic remarks.
  • And now you can add Mike Milbury to the mess -- misogynistic comments, and he's been forced to step away from NBC's coverage in the playoffs.  No word on whether this is a permanent firing or not.
  • Second round of the NHL Playoffs begins tonight.
  • It's SummerSlam weekend for WWE.  Patrick Clark/Velveteen Dream has returned to NXT, with quite a bit of controversy, but HHH says they couldn't find anything.  Yeah, right.  Of course, given Vince and how he feels about anyone other than himself, am I really surprised?  That's a company-ender, though -- especially for someone like WWE, who prides themselves on relationships with corporate sponsors -- if you're wrong!     
  • The Washington Nationals have had to fire a male employee for throwing coffee at a woman.
  • Branden Jackson of the Seahawks was knocked out with a helmet-to-helmet hit.
  • According to MaxPreps, it appears 17 states will call off high-school football for the Fall to some or more extent.  Seven states have already started games.  Seven states have still not announced their plans for 2021.
