Day 827

• The days of World Wrestling Entertainment may be about at an end.  In the face of the sexual harassment allegations against Vince McMahon, he has at least temporarily stepped down as CEO of the company.
• Larry Nassar has had his final "Do you know who the fuck I am?" rejected by Michigan's highest court.
• A couple of days ago, Sue Bird announced this WNBA season would be her last.
• The Golden State Warriors won their fourth NBA title in eight years, and Steph Curry has recovered from his beating by Pepe the Muppet Shrimp to win his first NBA Finals MVP.
• Unlike what some of us may have thought (and seen uniformed security walking the course with some of the groups yesterday!), Phil Mickelson actually got a warm reception yesterday -- until he stunk the joint out and Phil the Phool shot a 78.
• The 16 cities and stadiums to host North America's 2026 FIFA World Cup were announced last night.
• Minutes after Vince McMahon flipped off all sense and sensibility with a brief appearance on Smackdown tonight, official word that Sasha Banks had been fired/released several weeks ago for breach of contract -- the only question left is the legalities surrounding it all.
• At least one "sheet" reporter says any number of WWE current and former talent register the appearance of McMahon on the program somewhere between confusion and outrage.
• And, as if today was not bad enough for the WWE:  Dave Hebner, one of three family members who were long-time professional wrestling referee performers, passed away this afternoon in Virginia.  Undisclosed illness -- it was reported he had Parkinson's.  He was 78.
• In what might be a view of the future...  Fifteen LIV golfers played in this year's US Open.  Only four are seeing the weekend and none are under par.
• "Sources" are saying the NFL is looking at banning DeShaun Watson at least a full season for his masseuse escapades and abuses.  People within the NFL are cautioning not to read into that too much.  Something tells me the latest word the Texans may have helped facilitate this might forestall this far closer to the regular season.  I would go full life-ban (one year, has to apply for reinstatement) and see what happens.
