Day 384

• This DeShaun Watson situation is exploding by the day -- more lawsuits filed today, but at least 18 women have now come out in his defense!
• Obviously, the NFL and the NFLPA are monitoring the situation.
• In a result which I can only think of as either the greatest upset in the history of men's soccer or a blatant fix which could have devastating effects on the Qatar World Cup:  North Macedonia, a country only recognized by the European governing body since 1994, won a 2-1 World Cup Qualifier AT GERMANY.  Stay tuned.  This is United States vs. ...  who was it when it was clear that the team was throwing the match to get Klinsmann fired -- which eventually led them not to make the Russian World Cup? ... writ FAR LARGER!
• Calgary vs. Vancouver has been called off for tonight's NHL schedule due to COVID concerns...
• ... and there is word that tomorrow's baseball opener between the Mets and the Nationals could be called off with a positive COVID case on the Nationals team.
• Not everyone is believing we are out of the woods yet...  Doug Ford, the Premier of Ontario in Canada, is reinstituting shutdown procedures for a month.
• The next -- and probably last!!! -- MLB mega-contract went through today -- Francisco Lindor, 10 years, $341 million for the Mets.
• Scary moment for the Utah Jazz -- plane got hit by a flock of birds and things got pretty touch and go there for a little bit.  Everyone's shaken, but fine.
