May 19, 2023 News and Notes

• Kane's favorite day.  Fuck Glen Jacobs.  
• We lost Jim Brown today.  He was 87.
• At least one family of West Ham United players was attacked by angry AZ Alkamaar sore losers after West Ham won their way to play in the third-tier European club tournament final.  West Ham won a two-legged semifinal over Alkamaar, the second leg in the Netherlands.  And this appears to be retaliation for a similar reversed incident after the first leg!
• And now Bills fans, or the rape victims (or, I guess, both!) are going to get REAL PISSED.  San Diego State has no findings against Matt Araiza, the probable reason the NFL was not going to allow the Buffalo Bills to go anywhere last season.
• Oof.  Next year, Jeopardy! is going berserk.  The Season 39 Tournament of Champions will take no less than TEN WEEKS!!!  Every champion on the show for the season will be somewhere in the tournament, plus a Second Chance tournament.  This was actually announced almost two months ago -- two days before April Fool's Day.  The "The Jeopardy Fan" April Fool's joke was that Mayim and Ken would alternate clues on every show.  THIS, however, appears legit, for now.   
• Sports Illustrated believes Brett Favre is going to prison as a "central actor" in a massive welfare-fraud scheme in Mississippi, an investigation by the magazine has concluded.
