Day 459

  • UEFA strong-armed Denmark into playing the rest of the match on Saturday.
  • The NBA is (finally) considering a rule to outlaw unnatural shot motions which are simply made to draw act-of-shooting fouls.
  • Bartolo Colon is still at it in Mexico.  At 48, he threw a complete game victory on only 90 pitches -- 70 of them strikes.
  • Look for offenses to explode this summer.  MLB puts out the new substance policy tomorrow -- includes 10 games for any pitcher caught with a substance.  Trevor Bauer is already being exposed as a massive cheat.  Who else?
  • Bob Baffert is suing the New York Racing Authority to try to overturn his ban in that state.  He may have a point about duration and conditions, but, if he isn't careful, NYRA might just state they intend him out of the sport for life.
  • Shelby Houlihan is banned for four years and out of the Tokyo and Paris Games for a second banned substance violation.  She was tested in December.  She was to be America's main hope at 1500 and 5000 meters.
