Day 798

  • Three days left in the May sumo tournament.
  1. Maegashira #4 Takanosho is 10-2.  (has already faced and gold-starred Terunofuji)
  2. Maegashira #12 Sadanoumi is 9-3.
  3. Maegashira #6 Ura is 9-3.
  4. Yokozuna Terunofuji is 9-3.  Lost to Takanosho, hasn't and probably won't face Sadanoumi nor Ura.

The debacle at the name ranks continues:

  • Ozeki:  Takakeisho is 6-6, Shodai and Mitakeumi at 5-7 and one loss from kadoban.
  • Sekiwake:  Both Abi and Wakatakakage are 6-6.  Wakatakakage probably needs to win out and go 12-3 next tournament to make Ozeki.
  • Komusubi:  Daiesho already has his kachi-koshi (winning record), meaning if either Abi or Wakatakakage go make-koshi (losing record), he replaces them -- he's 8-4.  Hoshoryu is 7-5 and may be about to join.

Others:

  • Dave Stockton, in an indication the PGA might be done with Phil, says Mickelson was not missed at the dinner this week before the tournament.  Mickelson was the defending champion.
  • Tiger Woods went +4, much to the chagrin of anyone trying to make money off the PGA Championship -- and I'm not talking just the gamblers, who put more money on Tiger than anyone else.
  • It appears that the athletic director of Texas A&M believes Nick Saban's comments slamming A&M's use of NIL violate SEC by-laws.
  • Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders has weighed in against Saban's comments.
