August 5, 2023 News and Notes

• Noah Gregson can find a new team which is more amenable to the racist post he liked on Facebook.  He's been suspended from his NASCAR ride and team.
• NASCAR has also suspended him.
• Ricky Rubio is stepping away from basketball -- mental health.
• Dillian Whyte has popped hot for drugs.  Fight with Anthony Joshua is off.
• Today is the Pro Football Hall of Fame ceremony in Canton after the ceremonial Return Mass Of The Fourth-String Irrelevants on Thursday night.
• Joe Thomas
• Zack Thomas
• DeMarcus Ware
• Darrelle Revis
• Ronde Barber
• Chuck Howley
• Joe Klecko
• Don Coryell
• Ken Riley
• The last two go in posthumously.
• The crowd appears to be extremely small for the inductions, especially for a class of this size.  I'm not 100% sure it's not because, frankly, there is no real "headliner".
• 52 games to go, the New York Yankees would actually be leading the Minnesota Twins by 1/2 game in the AL Central.  Since they're in the AL East, four games over .500 means last place in the division and 11 behind Baltimore.
• The storybook run of Wrexham gets off to a tough start.  A 5-3 home loss in their League Two opener to MK Dons.  MK Dons was relegated from League One last year.
• And the media wants to pile on.  Remember, doofi:  This team was relegated from League One, meaning, if they were able to keep everyone together, they're probably one of the best sides in League Two.
