Day 541, Part 3 and there probably will be more...

• Lane Kiffin has tested positive for COVID and will be out for today's opener.
• Naomi Osaka melted down last night and lost her third-round match at the US Open and basically told the press conference she probably does not know when she will play tennis again.  Mental-health suspension, WTA Tour?  As in...  NOW???    
• Oscar de la Hoya was to fight an exhibition fight against Vitor Belfort in Los Angeles next Saturday night when he announced COVID yesterday.  Now, apparently, the sham operation which put together an entertainment extravaganza for a Florida stadium, including Snopp Dogg and a boxing card, has contracted for Evander Holyfield to take his place.
• One problem:  Holyfield is so decrepit, at this point, the California State Athletic Commission, won't touch him with a 10-foot loaded bazooka!!  So Holyfield vs. Belfort will probably have to take place in Florida, with the rest of the sham card held in California!
• Another COVID positive:  Wisconsin LB Leo Chenal -- out 2 games as a result.
• And we have the first sports-betting horror story of the college football season.  Someone bet $220,000 at BetMGM that Tennessee would cover -36 with Bowling Green.  The game was 38-6 in the last minute, with Tennessee at about the Bowling Green 22 and apparently still running plays.  The next play is a fumble dropped handoff, recovered by Bowling Green, and the guy loses $220,000 because they didn't win by enough...
• Another bettor lost $100,000 when UCF (-6.5) beat Boise State 36-31.
• Sloane Stephens received over 2000 racist messages after a US Open loss Friday night -- more than a few saying she needs to be raped.  There's only one way to stop this kind of shit, and it's not even prison.  #ShootBack  It's only a matter of time, even if these are disgruntled gamblers, people...
