- Ruh-roh... Congress wants in on the Washington Football Team investigation. This usually is about the point where we find out just HOW BAD a sports league has fucked up...
- At least one US Representative says exactly what a lot of us are probably thinking: The Jon Gruden e-mails are the tip of the iceberg. The NFL Good Ol' Boys Club is going to need a Congressional intervention, and probably some form of termination.
- It appears as if Buffalo is going to force Jack Eichel to either have a disk fusion surgery or retire from the NHL. The CBA allows the team to force how an injury gets treated. Eichel wants a disk replacement -- either way, he probably does not play this season nor in Beijing, and that probably means a grievance.
- There's one middle finger from Manfred -- the Houston Astros are American League champions for the third time in five years, with cheating accusations from the opposition (in some form) in both playoff series. If, and we do believe once, the Barfs join them this weekend, I'm going off.
- And the other is probably incoming: The Dodgers are coming apart at the injury seams at this point. They may now be down to two material starting pitchers -- Scherzer's arm may be gone as far as energy goes.
Very interesting news from Jeopardy!:
- For what has to be the first time in the history of the program (and archivist Andy Saunders confirms it!), we have back-to-back Ultrachampions!
- And this one is probably the most unlikely in history, given statistical metrics.
- Jonathan Fisher from Coral Gables, FL, who defeated third-highest winner Matt Amodio two weeks ago, has run 10 wins together himself to become only the 11th player in history to do so in the now 19th season in which it was possible.
- However, he is only averaging $23,010 for the 10 wins. Only three of the previous ten Ultrachampions averaged less money.
- He has only about 1.5 Daily Doubles a match, is 6-4 in Final Jeopardy, and just doesn't seem to have numbers indicating any real thought he would get to 10 wins.
