Day 791

• Christian Yelich has become the sixth player in MLB history to hit for the cycle three times.
• Nikola Jokic is NBA MVP again -- back-to-back.
• It appears we have a COVID outbreak in the young WNBA season.  And it appears that the players having to travel on commercial jets rather than private airplanes may be the reason.  I've been telling people since this fucking began that we are looking at a First World, sociality-based virus.    
• And we have one with the Cleveland Guardians -- their game with the White Sox was postponed yesterday.
  
• The Dodgers are significant favorites to win the World Series at Sports Illustrated's sportsbook:  4-1.  Blue Jays and Yankees are 15-2, with the Mets, Astros, Brewers, and Giants to follow.
• Naomi Judd's daughter Ashley has confirmed:  Naomi killed herself.  Sigh.  Another one.   
• I have received at least a perfunctory response from the Executive Director of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission regarding an e-mail I sent after learning of Sonny Leon's suspensions.  And before ANYONE asks:  No, I am not delusional enough to think that it's counterpart to the Maryland commission sparked the decision for Rich Strike not to run the Preakness.  There was, as I said in the update, concern of the five-week schedule of the Triple Crown by Rich Strike's ownership.   
• My anonymous friend has also added that Mississippi has also sued former NFL player Marcus Dupree, in what is apparently becoming a wildly expanding net of fraud on the part of the celebrity "sports" contingent.
• Denver Broncos 2020 first-round pick WR Jerry Jeudy was arrested this morning in Colorado.  Too soon to know for what. 
• On a no-bond hold.  A 2nd degree misdemeanor because Colorado does not, of it's own merit, have a law against domestic violence.  They can use domestic violence to aggravate charges, as they have here -- but the charge is officially "criminal tampering".  Basically, an action against property to annoy, alarm, harass, or injure another person.
  
• The 2031 Rugby World Cup will be held in the United States -- the women's event two years later will also be held here.
