Day 391

  • Dovetailing off my post:  At some point today or tonight, the vaccine will probably create me not feeling so hot for some period of time.  I will continue to post if and as needed and if I have the energy to do so.  My health comes first, though.
  • DeShaun Watson has been dropped by Nike.  The number of lawsuits is up to at least 22, and at least two of the plaintiffs have begun to speak out.
  • Atlanta and Washington are playing 2 7-inning games today in a "new traditional" doubleheader.
  • Early injury scares for the two NL front-runners.  Cody Bellinger is day-to-day with a calf injury, while San Diego's superstar, Fernando Tatis Jr., is in more serious straits with a dislocated shoulder which could have him out weeks!
  • The NBA has joined other sports leagues in believing they can have full arenas by the Fall.  We'll see about that -- it could be more getting these QOP idiots vaccinated, though.   
  • Wrestlemania Week in the WWE this week.  Last night:  A DOUBLE Hall of Fame ceremony, as the WWE inducted TWO sets of honorees.  Last year's class finally got to give speeches, including Jushin Thunder Liger, Rob Van Dam, and the NWO.  This year's class was headlined by Kane.  Celebrity inductees were William Shatner and Ozzy Osbourne (a rumored induction of The Muppets did not occur).  Ten individuals, including several prominent bookers/promoters like Gary Hart, Paul Boesch, Ray Stevens, and Dick The Bruiser, were put in the Legacy Wing.
  • Moved to Tuesday because of two NXT nights tonight and tomorrow and Smackdown (which will have some of the Mania trappings) on Friday before another two-night Mania in a 25,000-limit Raymond James Stadium this weekend.
  • It appears as if the nationwide model for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament may be about to be a thing of the past -- that the entire tournament would be held in one particular set of sites.
  • The Masters is this weekend -- no word on how the whole Georgia controversy will impact it.  Some gallery will be in attendance.
  • After two weeks of large-scale boycott, Aaron Rodgers has brought some semblance of quiet to Jeopardy!  Except for one outgoing champion who was, in a runaway game against him and not knowing the Final Jeopardy answer, slagged Rodgers and the Packers for not kicking a critical field goal in this year's NFC title game.  Psst...  Yo, dude...  Game was rigged.  And, the more it's looking like it, the Packers aren't gonna get a shine anytime soon -- as this REALLY is beginning to smell "Brady vs. Belichick Super Bowl" here!   
  • I KNEW I MISSED SOMETHING I SAW THIS MORNING!!  Steve Waithe, a former track coach at Northeastern (and Tennessee, as my anonymous friend points out -- the original story I had only mentioned Northeastern) is now in Federal prison, arrested this week on charges of cyberstalking and wire fraud.  Waithe is alleged to attempt to use various schemes to get female tracksters at Northeastern to send him nude photos.
  • And, oh, let's add this to the pie:  Where was this shithead a three-time All American?  PEDO STATE!!!  Apple does not go far from the tree!
  • If I'm missing anything, I apologize...  Been getting a lot of stuff together to get the vaccine taken care of.  If I have the energy, I'll keep you abreast as to how I'm doing.
  • Back.  Small tingling in the hand and arm where I got the shot so far.  We'll see how it goes.
  • Not going well for the Canucks, though -- now up to 21 player positives.
  • And the yawning kicks in hard at about 90 minutes after the shot...
