Day 524

• And Jack Morris is going to have to be fired from the Detroit Tigers broadcasts.  He's also gone off racially on Shohei Ohtani.
• UPDATE 12:45 PM PDT:  Suspended indefinitely by Bally Sports.
• In a move which should surprise precisely no one who's paying attention, some incel jackass has arsoned the home of the most prominent female streamer on Twitch.
• Hope Solo has opened her fat trap again, saying Megan Rapinoe has tried to bully other players on the USWNT to join her in protests.
• Alabama and Florida are out of ICU beds completely because of COVID cases.  Florida has deemed a new state of emergency to try to get resources.  It is now believed Alabama is actually in "negative ICU bed" territory because of the number of cases.
• One Alabama doctor has told CNN the situation could go "apocalyptic".  And I don't think a lot of people down that way would have a problem with that...  Seriously!   
• And in the latest "Kill them all, and let God sort them out!" Moment:  A man has been arrested in South Sacramento for taking a forklift and destroying several businesses and a church's multi-purpose tent which has been used as a COVID screening/testing/vaccination site.  And, according to the article, this is actually the SECOND TIME the tent has been deliberately destroyed!!!  Although I'd like to know what the pastor believes the difference is between "pure hate" and "hate to just destroy everything..."
• The Caldor Fire near Lake Tahoe has grown eight-fold to over 50000 acres in just 24 hours.  Arson.
• At least one DeShaun Watson accuser has spoken to the FBI.  When is someone going to put together two major connections here?  Sports stars and toxic masculinity...   
• Roger Federer and Dominic Thiem are out of the US Open -- and far longer -- with nagging injuries.
