Day 742

• Today's example of "Trumptards are pigs...":  Indiana Senator Mike Brown, in basically saying there's no way he'd vote for a Black woman for the US Supreme Court, went so far as to say that the Court never should've granted the interracial marriage right given in Loving vs. Virginia.
• In a stunning move:  At the age of 25, 2022 Australian Open champion Ashleigh Barty has retired from tennis.  This is her second retirement -- after a retirement from junior tennis, she actually played professional cricket in Australia as a teen.
• Norco, CA:  Right-wing preschool teacher gets her class to do the "Let's Go Brandon" chant.\
• The USFL, supposed to start play in about a month, has revealed some of their rules:

1. Three PAT options:  15 yard place kick for one, the regular conversion line play for two, or a play from the 10 yard line for three.
2. The offense can keep the ball after a score:  One play from their own 33, 12 yards to gain.
3. Clock stops last two minutes to reset the chains.
4. Passes must cross the line of scrimmage for ineligible-receiver or pass interference penalties to apply.
5. Pass interference is enforced as in college -- 15 unless it's intentional over 15 yards downfield.
6. Overtime is a 2-point conversion shootout.  Three attempts in the base situation, more if needed.

• The first season will be played entirely in Birmingham, AL.
