Day 808

• Apparently, the false alarm was not on YouTube:  A false report of a shooting near the Barclays Center sent the boxing crowd into a panic last night.  By my word, this appears to be the THIRD major false shooting (or shooting simply to cause panic) this weekend.
• Mass shooting:  Memorial Day event with 1500 in attendance in Taft, OK.  One killed, seven more injured. 
• By one statistic, this is actually the seventh successful mass shooting in the last four and a half days.
  
• It now appears, six hours from match time, that Maxwell Jacob Friedman is done with AEW.  The match video has been privated, and that's the last word on the subject we have.  Unless this is an elaborate work (and, believe you and me, if there's one guy who could do it...), and even then, hoo boy.
• It's either that elaborate work or something's going on -- the match is now still being advertised, but there's no assurance (and probably won't be til it happens) that it takes place at all.
  
• Nottingham Forest won 170,000,000 pounds today with a 1-0 win over Huddersfield to win The Richest Match In Soccer:  the one-match final of the Championship-to-Premier League playoffs.
• Marcus Ericsson of Sweden has won the 2022 Indianapolis 500 -- 4th year in Indy Car after being in Formula 1.  Second career IndyCar win. 
• ESPN's lead NBA announcer Mike Breen ("BANG!") may be out the rest of the playoffs (definitely tonight's ECF Game 7), COVID positive.
• We now have our FIFTH ultra-champ of Season 38 on Jeopardy!   Ryan Long, rideshare driver from Philly, has somehow won 11 games and only $209,300.
• That's basically only $19,000 a game, almost unheard of-low for ultrachamps.
• I'll give you an idea of how absurd this is:  Andy Saunders' metrics are literally match-to-match on this guy.  Take the current number of wins, add one, rinse and repeat.
