Days 268 and 269

• In a "GO COVID!" moment -- Rudy Giuliani now has it.  Look, I know a lot of people, from Debbie Gibson fans to conservatives, would openly cheer if I got it and died from it.  So I don't want to hear caterwauling about statements like this.    
• Interesting Week 13 in the NFL.  Again, score report delayed because of game on Tuesday.  And two games Monday.
  
• It appears as if we have hit a new normal for scoring -- instead of 51, 52, 53...  It's 47 and 48.  That said, we're still going toward records at frightening speed.
• Home teams, however, were only 4-8 today.
• We had a four-bagger in Minnesota today.  Minnesota and Jacksonville had a double-Cliffhanger and a double-Last Chance Miss.   Jacksonville tied the game at 24 with 1:08 to go in regulation (Cliffhanger #1).  Then Minnesota missed a 54 yard field-goal with 16 seconds left (LCM #1).  The danger of that was, one long run at least gave Jacksonville a 62 yard attempt at the gun.  Missed.  (LCM #2)  Minnesota then won with a field goal in overtime.  (CH #2)
• The Over, even with an average right now around 48.5, is 4-7-1 this week.
• The Gonzaga men's basketball program has now cancelled four contests due to COVID problems -- their next game would be December 19 vs. #3 Iowa...  Wait...  Number Three IOWA??????    
• Oh God, as if this Logan Paul boxing shit couldn't get worse.  Here comes Mayweather for an exhibition fight.  Fuck me running!!!   
• EDIT 9:40 PM PST:  But my anonymous friend comes up with a great idea:  Logan Paul is a dick, Mayweather is what he is...  Maybe they'll both hit the lottery punch and kill each other!  Didn't think of that angle.
  
• The 2020 Sports Illustrated SportsPEOPLE of the Year have been announced:  Five activist athletes share the honor, under the color of "The Activist Athlete".  LeBron James, Breanna Stewart, Patrick Mahomes, Naomi Osaka, and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif.
• James won for his continuing efforts against poverty of children of color, as well as his motivation to get young people to the polls to vote against Donald Trump.
• Stewart won for her continuing activism for the Black Lives Matter movement during the WNBA season.
• Mahomes won for his parlaying being The New Face of the NFL to many different activist movements.
• Osaka won for parlaying being the new phenom of women's tennis into activism for the BLM movement.
• Duvernay-Tardif won for trading his Super Bowl ring for a first-responder kit when the coronavirus crisis started.  He went on the front lines as a first responder.
• Time Magazine will reveal it's Person of the Year on Thursday.  Front runners appear to be The First Responders, Joe Biden, and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
• Am I reading this right??!??!?   Break Dancing is now an official Olympic sport, starting in Paris in 2024.  WOT???    
• Add Dick Allen to the list of the "Fuck 2020 For Those We Have Lost".  Close to getting in the Hall of Fame through the "Golden Years Committee" -- 15 years in MLB with five different teams.  Another victim of cancer. 
• And Chuck Yaeger -- the first pilot to break the sound barrier.  His wife announced his passing tonight at the age of 97.
• And the Steelers finally lost today - to the FOOTBALL TEAM...  I think it does change the kayfabe now that KC can be the #1 seed, but all this does is solidifies the current situation.
