Day 431

  • International human-rights groups are increasing pressure on nations to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics next year.
  • Marv Albert is finally hanging up the microphone after these NBA playoffs at age 80.
  • With a pre-pandemic change in the major schedule, this week is the PGA Championship.
  • Speaking of "setting the business back 30 years" and Vince McMahon's hypocrisy:  A match between Damien Priest and The Miz last night on the WWE's monthly Peacock special was a lumberzombie match, with low-level trainee talent dressed up as zombies to promote Batista's new Netflix picture...
  • New York Racing Association has banned Bob Baffert -- none of his horses will be allowed at the Belmont.  I wonder if this decision would've been made if Medina Spirit had won the Preakness...  Just saying...
  • Nashville's Sam Bennett will likely be suspended a significant portion of the Tampa Bay series for a predatory boarding hit on Tampa's Blake Coleman.  A hearing has been scheduled for today.
  • That's right -- I forgot...  In the playoffs, one game is "significant".  One-game suspension for Bennett.
