Day 214
- Broncos-Patriots is off for this week -- they'll play next week -- another positive player test.
- No idea WHAT they're going to do in Tennessee. Yet ANOTHER staff positive and the facilities are, again, closed.
- Death threats for the Lakers' Danny Green after missing a three-pointer which might well have won them the NBA Championship Friday night. OK, you fucking Lakers fans can fuck right off!
- And here's the count for fans for Week 5:
- Steelers will have 7500.
- Chiefs, 16,000.
- Texans, up to 13,300.
- Falcons, first time this season at an unnamed limited capacity.
- Cowboys, about 21,000.
- Browns, about 12,000.
- Titans MIGHT, depending on if the game gets played.
- Washington is not for the season on fans, may re-evaluate.
- Chicago, Jets, San Francisco, Seattle until further notice.
- New Orleans tried to get a 25% capacity approved, but did not.
- And Baltimore is running the test with families of the team.
- Game 1 of the ALCS (Tampa vs. Houston) tonight. NLCS (Cobb County/Atlanta vs. Los Angeles) starts tomorrow. And why am I getting the gut feeling it's Houston/LA with fans in Texas for the World Series??
- Game 6 of the NBA Finals tonight. The late-game audit of the calls did show a couple calls going toward the Heat Friday night -- no surprise given the amount of pimping tonight's broadcast got on Friday night.
- Lost a game show legend today: Tom Kennedy. He was 93.
- And there it is. The Los Angeles Lakers are NBA Champions, four games to two over the Heat. Congratulations to Adam Silver and the NBA for another successful bubble playoffs.
- And, in the celebrations, one we can all agree on: ZERO NBA positives in the bubble.
- To give you an idea of how ridiculous the "POINTS!!!" NFL has been this year: Halftime of the Sunday nighter was 10-0 Minnesota. 7:08 to go in the 4th, and it's 26-21 Minnesota now.
- After an early day which actually portended some normalcy in scoring in the NFL, the three late games went totals of 60, 55, and 71 -- with a 53 for the Sunday nighter. The average for Week 5 is now 50.83 per game for the week, with two to go.
- Games with fans, home team is 4-2 this week so far.
- From my anonymous friend: There were 12 men on the 1989 USC depth chart for linebackers. Five of them have been sacrificed to football in one form or another, including Junior Seau. Sports Illustrated has their story.
That Laker fan base is so entitled. They haven't won a legit NBA title since 1987.
ReplyDeleteThis might merit a degree of discussion, but you also have to start asking the question as to how many "legit NBA titles" there have been since 1987, no matter WHO has won them...
ReplyDeleteGood point, man. I know that these titles aren't legit:
Delete88 Lakers
91-93, 96-98 Bulls
00-02 Flukers
06 Heat
07 Spurs
09 and 10 Lakers
12-13 Heat
16 Cavs
20 Lakers
That's 18 titles since 87 that I know are fradulent.
Well, you also have to toss the 89 Lakers as well.
DeleteI would toss 94-95, because that was probably a "give up".
08 Celtics has to go as well, that was a rig to keep Kobe from Eagle from winning.
Thing is, there aren't many.
Test
