Day 425

  • First time in the history of the English Premier League that the relegation decision has been made with three full rounds to go:  WWE will be happy that Fulham became the third relegated team for the season.
  • And now the Khans will have a circus in American football too -- Tim Tebow is back, as a tight end for the Jaguars.
  • Bob Baffert is actually thinking he can blame "cancel culture" for the doping controversy.  Maybe someone needs to look into the other six Derby winners he's had.   
  • No protests today for the Manchester United match home to Leicester City.  Thursday's reschedulement with Liverpool, on the other hand....
  • Continuing decline of ESPN:  Kenny Mayne is out of the network after 27 years.
  • Russell Westbrook has manipulated his way to the NBA record for most triple-doubles in a career.
  • Rapper J.Cole will be playing professional basketball...  in Africa.
  • No word as of yet as to whether Medina Spirit will be allowed to enter this week's Preakness Stakes.
  • And, almost predictably, the gypsy homophobe Tyson Fury is headed back to Saudi Arabia, this time to defend the heavyweight championship of the world against Anthony Joshua.
  • Derby winner-presumptive Mandaloun will not run in the Preakness Stakes -- so if the DQ of Medina Spirit stands, that's it for the 2021 Triple Crown.
  • It appears that if Aaron Rodgers leaves Green Bay, so will Davante Adams.  And they won't be alone...   
  • The Olympic torch relay will not pass through Hiroshima due to Japanese lockdowns.
  • 24 hours from an announcement, it appears the all-England Champions League final will be played...  in Portugal.
  • All but certain "sacrifice to football":  Colt Brennan, former star quarterback of Hawaii -- gone at 37.  Never got to play in the NFL, substance abuse littered his later life -- passed at a rehab facility he'd been in for five months.
  • Major League Baseball has approved that Oakland can begin to explore relocation if a new stadium is not approved Real Soon Now...
  • Manchester City have officially won the English Premier League with Leicester City's 2-1 victory at Manchester United.
  • If Medina Spirit is allowed to run on Saturday, he will go from Post Position 3, and is the 9-5 favorite with the opening odds for the Preakness.
  • Not sure whether this is illness or contacts, but three members of the Padres are now on the Injured List due to COVID protocols, including Fernando Tatis Jr.
  • Mr. Helmkamp, the only action you can take is the termination of the sport of football.  Period-end.
