Day 462

  • The ball was kicked out of play in Denmark and Belgium's 10th minute for an ovation in continuing support of Christian Eriksen, who collapsed of a heart attack in Denmark's first game.
  • It appears as if FIFA is going to FORCE countries to play in Qatar -- if a country decides to boycott 2022, they will be thrown out of World Cup 2026 and lose their national-team payments.
  • We have a double Madden curse to "worry about" this year -- they're going to do the "pass the torch" on the cover, Brady to Mahomes.
  • Rafael Nadal is sitting out both Wimbledon and the Tokyo Olympics.
  • Wimbledon is starting a dialogue with Naomi Osaka with respect to her mental-health concerns.  My guess is she won't be playing this Slam either.   
  • Arizona has tied the MLB record for most consecutive road losses with 22.
  • Make it 23 and the new record after today's play.
  • Phil Mickelson apparently had quite the problems today with cell phone cameras during his US Open opening round.  He shot four over.
  • And, to no one's shock:  Naomi Osaka has withdrawn from Wimbledon.
