- I guess Aaron Rodgers is now COVIDIOT-8. The Jets retired 12 for Broadway Joe -- and though Namath would've allowed it, Rodgers says he will wear #8.
- Disney has sued the state of Florida and Ron DeSantis for the governor's campaigns against the company.
- Zooey Zephyr, the transgender representative in the Montana House, has been expelled from the chamber by a party-line vote for the remainder of the session.
- Today is Day 8 of the 2023 Fantasy Faire for Second Life, raising money for the American Cancer Society.
- Through 6 days, the website reports slightly over $34,150 -- about a third of what it raised last year for the entire event.
- This total includes over $1,200 raised in a Children of Stories RP dance event Tuesday, DJ'ed by Nancy Daehlie.
- There is an, at present, unconfirmed report of a second Daehile-DJed RP event forthcoming... Stay tuned!
- This pushes the 15-year total for the Fairelanders to over $665,000.
- And the T-Wolves playoff run ended as it began: Anthony Edwards has been cited for assault after swinging a chair and hitting two female stadium employees. His first court date is in June for the misdemeanor.
- The NBA and the players' union approved a new CBA to prevent a league opt-out this summer. Six years -- the biggest changes meant to hamper superteams like the Warriors.
- At the sources level, but it appears that Jacksonville's Cam Robinson will be suspended for a PED policy violation. The report does not, however, state how many games Robinson will have to sit.
- And another regular-season champion falls: The Milwaukee Bucks are eliminated, four games to one!, by the Miami Heat.
- The television definition of "for better or for worse": We lost Jerry Springer today -- and if I need to explain to anyone the statement I made accompanying that, you either aren't American (and that's no offense -- I mean that literally!) or you've been living under a rock. He was 79.
- Except that a lot of his early work -- and some of his later work -- was NOT the classic format which featured every jilted lover in rural America (or so it seemed -- or actors representing same!) in almost every conceivable combination.
- Because of anti-transgender laws and the backlash Dwayne Wade has suffered, Wade has moved his family out of the state of Florida.
- One of the horses entered in the Kentucky Derby for a week from Saturday has been put down after suffering an injury at Churchill Downs.
- The Atlanta Braves have been ordered by MLB to stop the oversized Homer Hat celebration.
- By the official hat provider of the league.
- We have just passed the one week mark of Fantasy Faire on Second Life -- just over $37,600 has been raised as of 12 noon Pacific Thursday -- precisely one week after the Faire's beginning.
The truth is not what actually happened. It's what you can ENFORCE happened. It's ALL enforcement.
