All Hell Is Breaking Loose...

Just in the last couple of days:

• Michigan football coach Sherone Moore was fired for an affair with a staffer.
• Then arrested when he went to her house and threatened to kill them both.  He's now in protective custody.
• Now word the university knew of his mental-health condition.  Oh, that's gotta be a great look for a football program already on the ropes after the other garbage which got revealed.    
• Knowing this, they still fired Moore 1-on-1 -- no security, no HR person present to guard against a possible physical retaliation.
• Warde Manuel, the Michigan Athletic Director, is almost-certainly going to be fired, but present reports indicating he has appear, as of the time of this writing, to be false.

Elsewhere:

• The situation is so bad in Indianapolis that Philip Rivers has been plucked out of retirement (at 44!) to QB the team.  This should be the end of all Colin Kaepernick speculation, once and for all.
• We have another college athlete ensnared in the previously-reported betting scandal.  Marcus Williams of the University of San Francisco should be arrested soon.  The NCAA has reported he apparently provided material betting information to already-proved gambling involvement Mykell Robinson for at least nine games last season.
• But the worse news for the NCAA and for what's left of college-pro sports is something ESPN deliberately chose to bury:  There are investigations either in progress or completed against athletes from Western Michigan, Dayton, Eastern Kentucky, and Wisconsin.  If you are paying some of the players, then you also open the door that if certain players aren't getting paid enough to keep the games fair then -- like video games -- they won't.  
• When is Grayson Allen finally going to be run out of basketball?
• A Federal lawsuit between NASCAR and at least two of their charter organizations regarding monopoly status of the sport has been settled, late in the process.  No terms released. 
• Outside of sports:  Five European countries say they will no longer take part in the Eurovision Song Contest as long as Israel is allowed to continue to compete, for obvious reasons.
• The 2024 winner, Swiss singer Nemo, has also renounced his victory and returned his trophy.
• If people think the politicization of everything is bad now, you just wait... 
• The House of Representatives, as part of a military bill, has passed a provision banning outside drone technology from American sporting events.
