Day 552: IOC, are you FUCKING LISTENING???

• Congressional hearings today on the Larry Nassar case, and at least two star gymnasts, Simone Biles and Kayla Maroney, have now added that they DO believe, by the FBI covering up for Nassar, that, in fact, the United States government IS involved in the sexual assault of Olympic athletes and hopefuls in this country.  ARE YOU FUCKING LISTENING, INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE??   
• And, while we're at it, you think that might be one of the reasons Biles largely walked out of Tokyo -- she could no longer, in any conscience (much less a good one) represent the United States?   
• Thankfully, the recall of Governor Gavin Newsom appears to have been soundly rejected.  All four networks and CNN called the recall failed within about an hour of the polls closing last night.  Mail-in ballots postmarked yesterday still have about a week to reach election officials, and it'll be about a month before Newsom's margin of victory is known.  Larry Elder received about half of the votes to replace, made irrelevant.  NOW LEAVE OUR FUCKING STATE, YOU FAT OREO PIG...   
• As a fan-appreciation gesture, Milwaukee Brewers star Christian Yelich is buying up 10,000 tickets to the Brewers' series with St. Louis and giving them away online for free, anyone who asks, limit of four.
• Mike Richards Boycott Watch:  Day 2:  Matt Amodio tied Susan Collins for the third-longest regular-season winning streak last night on Jeopardy!  Another "lock game" for Amodio (his 15th out of the 20 wins), but did not do so by that much -- so his correct Final Jeopardy answer was only worth a small amount, for a total win yesterday of $36,201 for a total for 20 wins of $678,801.
• Here we go???  Jermichael Finley, six years with the Packers before he retired eight years ago, now says he does not believe Aaron Rodgers is committed to leading the team.  If you are right, then there is only one other alternative...
