Day 499

• Las Vegas sportsbooks with an ominous word for Packer fans -- they tend to try to get the best information for obvious reasons, and the current downgrading of the Packers from a 9 1/2 win total to 7 1/2 is on the indication Aaron Rodgers will retire from the sport this summer.  They also now are picking Minnesota to win the NFC North.  And I think, now with Davonte Adams also saying "no go" to the Pack, 7 1/2 is a generous number.  I think a post-Rodgers Packers could EASILY be one of the worst teams in the NFL.
• A new report says the latest sportsbook skinny is next week!  They still have not formally announced what "Jeopardy!" is going to do for next season yet, with only two new weeks to go in this season.   
• According to a baseball blogger, today's Yankees-Red Sox game is the first known one where both starting pitchers, Jameson Taillon and Nathan Eovaldi, have each had Tommy John surgery TWICE.
• At least a second NFL coach has been fired for refusing to vaccine up.
• Unvaccinated players may be tested daily during the season -- vaccinated players may get once a week or less.  The NFL is also proposing fining unvaccinated players $15,000 per offense for refusal of protocols.
