Day 777

• What we feared has become confirmed:  Lauren Bernett of James Madison University has become the third high-profile women's Division I athlete to kill herself in the last 14 months.
• Sage Steele has sued ESPN.  She questions vaccine mandates, tried to identify Barack Obama as bi-racial, and feels women were getting inappropriate comments, etc. from men in sports for how they dressed.  Stupid question, Sage -- on that last one:  How else do you think the men who make the decisions have women journalists around athletes at all?    
• Tonight is the NFL Draft in Vegas.  Joy. 
• A brawl Wednesday after a retaliation after another HBP to the Mets was the last straw:  The Mets are going to directly meet with an MLB executive tomorrow regarding the number of times they've been plunked in the first month of the season. 
• Three reminders from the world of pro wrestling that we are nowhere near the end of COVID yet:  AEW World Champion Hangman Adam Page, former IWGP World Champion Will Ospreay, and Japanese legend Tatsumi Fujimami have all tested positive in the last several days.
• Two boys in Kansas are being accused of trying to poison the drinking water of the Kansas Wesleyan baseball team during a doubleheader.  Paint was apparently the idea here.
• Wesleyan actually broke a school record during that doubleheader.  They won the second game over Bethany (after Bethany won the first) with a school-record 33 runs!
