Day 514

  • The day many in college football feared has come to pass.  Bobby Bowden succumbed to his illnesses today.  He was 91.
  • More anti-Asian bluster, this time from Packers WR Devin Funchess, for which he has apologized but should be banned for some period of time.
  • Omar Vizquel has been sued by a former autistic batboy for sexual harassment while Vizquel managed the Birmingham Barons.
  • An increasing outbreak of COVID-19 in the Yankees -- add Anthony Rizzo to the list!  My anonymous friend notes Rizzo is an anti-vaxxer and is unvaccinated.
  • And MAYBE Freddie Freeman of the Braves.  "Upper respiratory infection", removed due to precaution last night.  Probably not, though -- he is scheduled to pinch-hit for the Braves, literally as I type.
  • The Brewers and the Cubs play four in Chicago this week.  ESPN seems to have the matchups (mostly), but the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel didn't - announcing that all four matchups were "TBA v. TBA".  As of right now, the Brewers have not announced at least Monday and Tuesday's starters.
  • According to a Yahoo! story today, the mother of an unvaccinated Georgia high-school football player sent home from the hospital twice with symptoms of COVID-19 has died of those symptoms.  Georgia's full vaccination rate?  39% -- only about 15% above that of Tokyo.  HE WAS SEVENTEEN!!!!  And a high-school football player, meaning he was in decent health, you cocksucking right-wing WHORES!!!!  
  • Financial Fair Play in European soccer has done it's job -- it has begun the breakup of the Barcelona mega-team.  Lionel Messi, headed to French side Paris-St. Germain.  Two year deal.
  • At least one fan is under investigation as to a racial slur pointed at Miami Marlins outfielder Lewis Brinson in Colorado today.  Tick tock, people...   
  • Idiot on the Field in Los Angeles during the Freeway Series closer between the Dodgers and Angels, until a Dodger ball girl roughly deposited him in the seats!!!
