Day 566

  • And one piece of our puzzle of suspicion in baseball has gone through -- it probably will be St. Louis at the Dodgers, one game next week, for the right to face San Francisco.
  • Devin Williams will NOT be joining the Brewers in the playoffs.  He fractured his hand punching the wall in the division-title celebration.  Apparently got drunk and the wrong thoughts entered his mind...  Hoo boy...
  • Klete Keller, 2004 and 2008 Olympic gold medalist and five medals in total, will be heading to prison for taking part in the 1/6 riot.  Word is, about two years.  Could get 20.
  • Richard Sherman has added himself to the mercenary super-team in the Buccaneers.
  • Unvaccinated NBA players who can't play lose their salary this season.
  • Las Vegas Raiders:  Gerald McCoy suspended six games for drugs.
  • Evander Kane is still in serious trouble with the NHL on two different fronts, though he was cleared of his wife's rants about match-fixing.  Possible domestic violence, and possible COVID endangerment of his fellow San Jose Sharks...
  • In a move spurred by the exposition of the gender disparities the NCAA holds in basketball, the women's tournament this school year will be the first to be held as a full "March Madness" tournament.
  • Another day, another 50 grand for Matt Amodio -- and this one's important (depending on how you compute the list).  If the standard convention which allowed Thom McKee to hold the game-show winnings record from September 1980 to August 1999 holds, Matt Amodio, at $1,158,001, is now #10 on the all-time game-show winnings list.  Tomorrow, he goes to tie James Holzhauer with 32 wins.  He has had 13 games so far this season, and I believe only ONE where he has not locked up the game pre-Final Jeopardy.
