Day 825

• I don't know what to think of this one...  Two apparent "social media influencers", the "Duo Rag Dolls", put together an "audition" for last night's America's Got Talent.  It went "poorly".  As if you couldn't tell, it was a complete put-on by all the staff and the only people who didn't know were the judges and live audience at the audition taping.  After the audition was buzzed out, the two began fighting...  Then did professional wrestling spots, ending with one slamming the other's head repeatedly into Simon's buzzer...  You guessed it:  The Bella Twins!
• Nikki, a Season 25 contestant on Dancing With The Stars, was also a judge on last season's "Extreme" version of AGT.  When they revealed the ruse, Nikki asked Simon Cowell if that was extreme enough for him -- and then they showed the Bella podcast where they hatched their "naughty" plan.
• Nikki was forced to retire from the ring after a cyst was found on her brain in 2019.
• Costa Rica became the 32nd and final entrant into the 2022 Qatar World Cup with a 1-0 win over New Zealand marred by highly-slanted officiating by the Middle Eastern officiating crew.
• Miles Mikolas of St. Louis came within one out of a non-shutout no-hitter last night.
• The United States, down to 10 men for much of the second half, eked out a CONCACAF Nations League draw at a waterlogged and crap pitch in El Salvador with an injury-time goal after El Salvador also had someone sent off.  1-1.
• The LIV Tour is the talk of US Open week -- no surprise.  Tournament begins tomorrow.
• An attorney is quoted that "many others" could sue DeShaun Watson.  From reports, I'd put the number at at least 40 more.  To me, especially with the possible involvement of the Texans, if proven, I could see it being the end of the franchise as a going concern.   
• Dr. Anthony Fauci is COVID-positive.
