March 9, 2023 News and Notes

• A historic day in Los Angeles yesterday, when what was rumored for a long time is finally coming to pass.  For the first time in 52 seasons, The Price Is Right will no longer tape at The Bob Barker Studio and CBS Television City at 7800 Beverly Boulevard.
• CBS and Fremantle announced yesterday that, due to new ownership and renovation of the Television City property, The Price Is Right will be moving taping next year to Haven Studios in Glendale.
• Mark Adams has, as any reasonable person should've guessed after news of his suspension after inappropriate comments to a player, been fired (I refuse to believe he "stepped down" -- he was fucking fired, the fact they didn't just get in his face and fire him could cost the university several million dollars it should not have to pay!) as the men's basketball coach at Texas Tech.  Tech was already eliminated from it's conference tournament in the first round, and went 16-16 this season.
• The WWE is actually considering bringing legalized sports betting on it's scripted matches to the United States.  Offshore sportsbooks and their odds give wrestling fans a good idea of who is going to be booked to win the matches.  You know, if Vince were smart, he could talk about Mayer vs. Belichick, Patriots, and NFL and see where THAT goes...   
• Shawn Kemp may be headed to prison on a drive-by shooting.  Altercation in Tacoma on Wednesday, and it is alleged and him booked on belief he tried to settle it with a gun.
• Brandon Miller spoke publicly for the first time regarding the murder he is believed to have been an accomplice to.  Stupid on so many damn levels.   
• XFL Version 3 is only averaging about 500,000 viewers a game -- and that's 13% down from Week 2.  Questions may have to start being asked as to whether the league goes the way of the Alliance of American Football, in that it does not survive one season.
