Day 642

• Meat Loaf passed away yesterday.
• And you can add his name to the right-wing COVID anti-vaxx brigade.  As my anonymous friend said when relaying that to me, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
• Another passing on Thursday:  Bob Goalby, the winner of the 1968 Masters Tournament.  His win was infamous -- he won the tournament after Roberto de Vicenzo signed an incorrect scorecard.  Since his score that he signed for was one shot worse than what he shot, the score stood.  He lost to Goalby by that one stroke.
• Louie Anderson has died at 68 today, just after being diagnosed with cancer.
• Adele has postponed her Vegas residency, one day before it was supposed to start.  She states half her crew has been hit with COVID.  Oh, who would never have guessed in Vegas?   
• Willie Gay of the Chiefs was arrested this week for low-level misdemeanor damage to property.  He will play in Sunday's playoff game.  I get the feeling, and it may not be this week, we'll find out if the NFL believes he's guilty within the next month.   
• Sergio Mitre will serve 40-60 years in Mexican prison for the rape and murder of a 22-month old baby in 2020.  The former major-league starter raped and murdered the child of a former girlfriend.  FRY HIS FUCKING ASS.  On PPV!   
• Amy Schneider has now tied Matt Amodio's 38 wins on Jeopardy!, and another successful Final (and it appears those misses in previous Finals has NOT dissuaded her FJ betting patterns) scores her another $54,000 to pass the $1.3 million mark.  Monday, she attempts to move into solo second place on the wins chart -- but she has the entire back half of Ken's run to go to get to Jennings' 74 wins.
