Day 501

• Pretty much a blah news day on Day 500.  But three biggies to start 501...
• A majority of LA Dodgers players do not want Trevor Bauer to ever return to the team.
• Frank Reich, head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, has COVID -- and he was vaccinated.
• But the big one is the end of the Big XII Conference:  Texas and Oklahoma WILL leave, not renewing their media contracts.  Now, the only question is whether they'll try to pay a significant amount to breach their current media contracts and move faster than 2025!
• The WWE is actually going to script a series on probably their second-biggest out-of-ring victory -- Vince McMahon winning his 1994 steroids trial.
• In another step of sports betting becoming the legal centerpiece of American sports, Caesar's has bought the naming rights for the next two decades of the iconic Superdome in New Orleans.
• It appears as if one of the largest storylines in the NFL offseason has come to an end.  Concessions by the Packers which MIGHT give then Rodgers for one more season...
• ... and now (to none of my surprise), Davonte Adams wants to talk.
• A lawyer for Houston Texans QB DeShaun Watson now has word of two new complaints of sexual misconduct, upping the number of police reports against Watson to TEN.  All this has now officially made Deadspin question why Watson is not on the Commissioner's List.  Very good question, you won't like the answer:  How many people, and who, does this league revolve around?  I got six for sure:  Watson, Jackson, Mahomes, Brady, Rodgers, Wilson.  I'll take arguments on more...  This fucking guy is one of the few players for whom the drink is stirred.  The bottom line is, with 22 women now in an apparent sexual-predator spree by one of the six men who probably has this league revolve around him -- he's GOT TO GO.  NOW!!!!
