Day 613

• To very little surprise, it appears Aaron Rodgers will exit the COVID protocols today and be ready to play Seattle tomorrow.
• Another Dos a Cero for the US men's team last night -- another 2-0 victory over Mexico.  They lead the eight-team CONCACAF qualifying group for Qatar 2022 halfway through.
• A line crush which many in attendance felt similar to the Astroworld tragedy took place last night as UCLA hosted Villanova at Pauley Pavilion last night.  Though, thankfully, it appears no one was injured, all the line-cutting and the lack of oversight has soured many on attending more games there.
• Word out of Los Angeles is that the Rams players did most of the heavy lifting in getting Odell Beckham Jr. there.  Agreed that the Rams are "All In" this season -- not sure yet how they get past the Tom Bradys.   
• sigh As will be reported on the Fine Blotter post below, they actually did fine Cassius Marsh of the Bears for that controversial taunting penalty.  And if you watch the play, then why wasn't Marsh also then fined and penalized for both Roughing the Passer (Clay Matthews Rule) and Contact With An Official, if we're going that far?   
• Inspection fouls have all but finished the 2021 Formula 1 World Championship.  Max Verstappen is your 2021 World Champion after Louis Hamilton committed two inspection fouls (one for an engine, one for an illegal part) which will have him disqualified from qualifying at Sao Paulo, a five-place penalty on the main-race grid, and starting the sprint race from the back  Hamilton should be disqualified from any points for the race.   
• Verstappen was fined 50,000 euros yesterday, though, for, probably in noticing the illegal part, touching Hamilton's car.  The problem was, he was also in an illegal area meant just for the inspectors in doing so.
• UrinatingTree will be happy about this one...  cough cough cough  Roethlesberger on the COVID list, out for Sunday's game.  Captain Fatfuck, Leader of Men, unlike SOME LIARS, is vaccinated.
