Day 822

  • Do you ever get the feeling that the entire situation is about to go "Uh Oh"??   
  • I really have to wonder who this guy actually pissed off OTHER THAN BRITNEY...  It sounds like the lede got really buried on Jason Alexander crashing the private wedding of Britney Spears on Thursday.  He was armed with a knife when he did so.  AND he was livestreaming the event.  Speaking as an ex-celebrity stalker, how this guy was not simply shot is beyond any source of my personal recognition.  
  • He wasn't even charged with stalking in the state of California, under current California law.
  • In a move scarily reminiscent of Mike Tyson, Edgar Berlanga has probably ended his boxing career last night on the latest ESPN Top Rank event by biting the ear of Alexis Angulo -- and no one realistically caught the incident except the ESPN cameras!  Berlanga won the fight, and then claimed Angulo was trying to win the fight through fouling himself!
  • Unfortunate moment in last night's boxing broadcast:  Timothy Bradley and Joe Tessitore were laughing at a video of a knocked-out fighter getting back in the ring and continuing boxing...
  • ... the problem was, neither found out until later that the involved fighter actually died of brain injuries as a result of the fight.  Both immediately apologized upon discovery.
  • I erred earlier.  The NHL now has it's Stanley Cup Final:  Colorado vs. two-time defending champion Tampa Bay.  That was the Eastern Conference Final I spoke of earlier.
  • According to Sports Illustrated, Colorado is more than odds-on to win -- -213 at their sportsbook.
  • Charl Schwartzel won the first LIV Golf event outside London this weekend -- and, with it, $4,000,000 in prize money.  Which is to say nothing about appearance fees...   
  • The last-placed golfer, who didn't break 75 in any of the three rounds, still got $120,000 in prize money from the Saudi blood-lords.
  • Only the top 20 PGA Tour golfers at this week's Canadian Open got more than that.
  • Outspoken LIV critic Rory McIlroy won the PGA Tour event.  He "only" got $1,566,000.
  • And now the interesting part:  The US Open is next week!
  • Daniel Suarez became the first Mexican racer to win a top-flight NASCAR race this week.
