Day 528

• Rep. Barry Moore (Anti-Mask Q Idiot, Alabama), positive for COVID.  He has said in response he would not want to put his beliefs on anyone, even if he died of COVID yesterday.  He obviously does not value his life.
• Nelson Cruz has been put on the COVID IL by the Rays -- no word yet on whether it's a positive test or for contacts.
• Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel is COVID-positive.  The bigger news is that this comes after practice with the Buccaneers, who now have to contact-trace.
• Bad news for an opening French match.  Marseille have been attacked for the second time in just two weeks.  After an incident with Montpelier where two fans were arrested when Montpelier supporters threw objects are Marseille players, the same thing has now happened to them at Nice.  Unlike the Montpelier match, the Nice match has been stopped, 15 minutes from time, as Montpelier walked off the pitch after one of their players finally had enough of water bottles being thrown at them from the other team's fans and Dimitri Payet threw one back, starting a pitch-invasion brawl.  Nice was leading 1-0 at the time.  The problem is that this is the SECOND TIME THIS SEASON ALREADY that Marseille has been attacked in road matches, and I'd like an idea as to why this is happening.  Payet should be sanctioned, but it is clear that Marseille is being targeted for these attacks -- or is this an ominous sign for what is to happen as time goes on this season?
• In a shock for not only the upset but also that it goes against Vegas sensibilities:  Manny Pacquiao defeated, unanimous decision, for the WBA "Super" Welterweight Championship by Yordenis Ugas.  The 3-1 underdog won 116-112, 116-112, 115-113 -- and that was about right.  Pacquiao the far more active fighter, Ugas the far more effective one.
