Day 555

• And the last of the Mike Richards episodes aired yesterday:  23 in a row now for Matt Amodio.  Five lockouts in a row, this one giving Amodio a little room for $50,400 for the day and $825,801 for the run so far.  
• $251,000 this week.  And that's not boding well for his opposition.  More on that later.
• One of the largest incidents from Week 1 spurred the only ejection of the week -- a punch-up between Cleveland's Ronnie Harrison and a coach on the Kansas City Chiefs.  Though the Chiefs' coach was the first involved, he was only warned.  Harrison was ejected and fined $12,128.
• The long-feared "Justice for J6" rally...  maybe a couple hundred cowards and idiots...
• The USC football team had an unfortunate incident with their plane.  The crew on the ground forgot to set the tail stand -- and the plane tipped backward with half the team and coaches still on it!  No apparent injuries, hopefully no damage to the plane either!
• Thankfully for USC, once they got on the field, they beat Washington State 45-14.
• Marcell Ozuna of the Braves is probably done for the year -- his domestic-violence administrative leave has been extended again, at least through this Friday.
• Mike Wright has been suspended by MLB for three games for intentionally plunking Shohei Ohtani -- Wright, after backing Ohtani off with the first pitch, fired the second one about 50 feet, and the third one intentionally plunked Ohtani.
• Manager Tony LaRussa was suspended one game.  Wright has appealed.  LaRussa served today.
• Three days after surviving the recall, California Governor Gavin Newsom has had to announce that two of his kids have the virus.
