Day 708

• Formula 1 has fired the series race director and revamped the position because of the error which gave Max Verstappen the 2021 Formula 1 championship.  Next question is whether Michael Masi's firing will eventually result in a reversal of that championship to rival Lewis Hamilton -- either by F1 or through the courts.
• And in another case of both the NFL and the Kansas City Chiefs not getting control of their problems:  Cornerback Chris Lammons is one of the other three men charged with the Pro Bowl-morning assault in Los Angeles which has Alvin Kamara in a lot of trouble.  $5,000 bond posted, next round March 8th.
• For Anaheim Angels staffer Eric Kay has been found guilty of the dispensing of fetanyl to Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs, resulting in his death.  One player may face significant suspension from the game for some of the revelations during the trial, namely distribution of opioids by Matt Harvey.
• Phil Mickelson is throwing his weight behind Saudi Arabia and it's fucking scum to try to gain leverage with the PGA Tour.  Fuck you.  He states in his autobiography that he understands their records and their willingness to execute their enemies, but feels he needs to throw in with them to force needed change.  *facepalm*  Would you like there to be an In Memoriam, Phil, when they find out they're getting played???
• Contrary to popular opinion:  As of right now, Bryson TheShamBeau is NOT.  He decided to take Saudi appearance money for a tournament there instead of a big tournament here, but suffered a fall the Monday before and is recuperating his hip and the like.
• Latest MLB talks are going nowhere, and it appears Spring Training is now officially postponed.  We probably are getting near the drop date for when the regular season starts getting truncated.
• The chancellor of the California State University system, fired today for ignoring the sexual harassment complaints of a senior staffer while he was chancellor at UC-Fresno.
