Day 650

• In a last flailing attempt to save the NBA season, the NBA and NBPA have agreed to allow the signing of players to simply replace players in the COVID protocols.
• Kentucky vs. Louisville in men's basketball is the latest major COVID casualty.
• Neither Baker Mayfield nor Case Keenum made it out of the COVID protocols in time for today's Monday game with the Raiders.
• Gov. Larry Hogan of Maryland -- positive for COVID.
• As was, last week, Gary Kelly, CEO of Southwest Airlines, after being forced to testify in front of Congress.
• Add the Blue Jackets and the Canadiens to the shut-down list for COVID.
• Jared Goff and Nick Bosa have tested positive in post Week 15 testing.  Bosa is one of four Chargers to go on the list today.  Bosa is unvaccinated, so he's out Sunday.  It's Bosa's second trip to the list.
• In a moment which all but assured Peng Shuai has been tortured by the CCP:  Shuai is now recanting her story of being assaulted by a member of the CCP.  Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight...   
• Bruce Arians, probably after injuries mounted last night, is recanting something of his own:  Antonio Brown will be welcome back on the Buccaneers.  Fuck.  
• Tiger Woods (and his son Charlie) lost to John Daly (and his son John II) by two shots on the father-son PNC Championship.
