Day 461

• Chris Paul is being removed from play for the COVID protocols.  Depending on his vaccination status, it is not known how long he could be out for Phoenix.
• One Vegas sportsbook is not a fan of Phil Mickelson.  Caesar's Palace William Hill has taken twice as many bets on the PGA Champion than any other golfer.  Jon Rahm is the +900 favorite to win.
• Speaking of Rahm, a partial retraction from earlier:  Rahm WAS vaccinated, however, the positive came within the 14-day window of his second vaccine -- which is more than possible.
• All it takes is the wrong person:  Cristiano Ronaldo forcibly removed two Coca-Cola bottles from his Monday Euro 2021 press conference ahead of his first match.  As a result, Coca-Cola stock had it's market cap fall by no less than FOUR BILLION DOLLARS.  (And Ronaldo had two goals in a 3-0 Portugal win over Hungary on Tuesday.  Three more will give him the international-goals record over all competitions for all time.)
• It appears as if Schalke 04 has accepted reality and decided to concentrate on soccer.  They have sold their League of Legends franchise due to the soccer club's relegation to Bundesliga.02.
• Major fix in the playoff round before the US and the other regional powers enter CONCACAF qualifying for Qatar 2022:  One of the worst own goals in history was given to Canada to help them advance over Haiti.
• The PGA will probably ban, for professional tournaments, the use of green-reading notes by the players after this season.  Rory McIlroy believes it's time, The Sham Beau actually likes the practice.
