Day 261: Starting with: Disturbing stories throughout the sports sphere...

One definite, two possible:

• Possible #1 was the farce which was a boxing PPV last night.  Not only did YouTuber Logan Paul fight one of the worst boxing matches in history in knocking out ex-NBA'er Nate Robinson, but Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Jr., both in their 50s, fought an exhibition match (to a draw).
• Possible #2 comes from Vanderbilt.  One day after making a woman the first woman to suit up for a college football game and play in one of the Power 5 conferences, the coach for Vanderbilt was fired today.  The team was winless and lost to Missouri 41-0 yesterday, but one does have to wonder (including personal witness to gigantic misogyny by SEC fans wanting to see her jacked up on the field) if the decision to field the woman might have been the final straw.
• And now the one definite:  My anonymous friend brought to the surface something I was thinking about after the Broncos announcement yesterday:  You have no quarterbacks.  So you are willing to start wide receiver Kendall Hilton as your quarterback, rather than take the flier and ring up Colin Kaepernick???  Gee, you think #NFLBoycott might've had something to do with that, including an edict from the league office????  YA THINK?????   
• I've leaving that one up there struck through, but COVID also stopped this as well.  COVID policies of the NFL indicate that any newly-signed free agent must quarantine 10 days before the team can practice or play him.  Thanks to my anonymous friend for also finding THAT.
• Saints won 31-3 in a game that didn't come close to three hours.  Should've been rescheduled or forfeited.

And in other news:

• Still thinking of having that game Tuesday?   Another Baltimore Raven, Willie Sneed, is positive for the virus, the eighth straight day someone on the team has been tested positive.   Adam Schefter reports that is the seventh starter for the Ravens to test positive.
  
• And now news that, contrary to initial reports, the other three quarterbacks for Denver WERE complying with protocols.  Sounds to me the league may actually want New Orleans after all!!!
