Sounds like COVIDIOT-Shithead isn't doing it to just football teams...

Danica Patrick basically states that Aaron Rodgers is an emotionally-abusive twit -- saying "He leaves behind a trail of blood."

No.  Shit.  Sherlock.

It sounds like the World Cup boycott may be permanent...

The next step in INFANTino's plan to Trump-ize the World Cup is that he wants to sell a 20% stake in the tournament to corporate investors.

Trump ally/toadie Jared Kushner is involved.

Anyone who knows my stand on what comes with paying the bills understands the next thing I'm saying:  Within some degree of reason (else, the fraud that is the United States would've won this tournament), the investors will almost certainly have a say in who wins.

sigh

I think this is one of the reasons I've hard a dark fantasy of receiving an international letter from FIFA personally -- banning me from all relevant soccer events.

PS:  I will be shocked, if not stunned, if either the IOC or the LA Organizing Committee doesn't similarly ban me from the Los Angeles Games.

Two words:  They'd better.  (Or they'd better hope my situation holds that long -- I don't expect it to.)

Two related stories, both gambling:

USA Today:  DraftKings and FanDuel have already spent $72,000,000 on the midterm elections -- making gambling the third highest campaign contributor behind crypto and tech.

And, in the "no coincidences" file...

Fortune:  Gambling on sports (and this probably is only the legal handles, and does not include states which do allow Indian casinos to do sports-gambling (Wisconsin and Florida are two), nor the prediction markets which have muscled into sports-betting and can do so in states where sports-betting is illegal...) now is not only the largest entertainment method in the country at $166 billion, it outspends music, concerts, books, museums, and movies, by more than double -- combined!!  ($70 billion between the five, none above $20 billion)

The "No Shit Sherlock" File, Part Two: The Russians Are Coming...

Saw this a few days ago and am finally getting to posting it to the blog.

Putin's bitch gets his wish -- the Russians are allowed back in the Olympic Trump Transphobe Games.  Just in time for Los Angeles.

The "No Shit Sherlock" file, Part One... The Heritage Foundation lets it slip...

Now that the Supreme Court has gone full bigot and transgender athletes can be banned part and parcel, the Heritage Foundation lets it slip.

They openly WANT the end of women's and girls' sports -- stating that destroying Title IX is necessary to protect women's "fertility".

Just waiting, at that point, for the calls of execution of the childless cat ladies, the sterile, and those women too old to have children and never had one.

Also note:  Cheerleading is fine.  They need to have women burlesque for the entertainment of high-testosterone boys and men who are willing to exploit fertility.

Super Bowl $eahawk$: Did Tom Brady throw Super Bowl LX?

I'm not going to attribute the Tweet for which I found, but go to the direct source instead.  The indirect source is completely shitlisted.

However, the Awful Announcing blog has made a charge that Tom Brady may well have thrown Super Bowl LX to the Seahawks.

Their source?  Seattle head coach Mike MacDonald -- on today's The Dan Patrick Show:

MacDonald, at the celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, acknowledges that someone with a "conflict of interest" aided MacDonald and the Seahawks in their preparations to defeat the Patriots last February.

That said, there are two MAJOR problems:

That would be a level of betrayal on a scale even beyond Brett Favre and the Packers or Calahan and the Raiders to aid Gruden and the Buccaneers.

The larger problem, though, appears to be Tom Brady's involvement with FOX Sports, and that leading to a possibility that the NFL themselves might've been involved in tampering through Brady passing information to the Seahawks.

And Brady's involvement as a part-owner of the Raiders -- the Raiders getting the Seahawks' offensive coordinator as their new head coach.

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......

Couple of June 30 notes:

• As of now, it appears Brendan Sorsby WILL get his NFL shot in 2027, but he'll have to sit out the entire 2026 season.  The NFL, NFLPA, and a third party came to an agreement that Sorsby will be treated as entering the 2027 Draft fully, including the Senior Bowl, Combine, etc.
• And then there's Wilson Contreras, who may be in line for one of the biggest on-field Discipline Blotter situations in recent MLB history.

Contreras was thrown out of Monday night's game for mocking the umpire by tapping his helmet.  Some might think it excessive, but the first-base umpire caught it and threw Contreras.

That was probably handled normally.

Tonight's won't be.

After being struck out by Cade Cavalli, Contreras heard what was believed to be "Sit down, boy!" from Cavalli.  Contreras advanced toward Cavalli, benches clear in the argument, Contreras throws his helmet at Cavalli, and Contreras loses his helmet and attempts to swipe Cavalli twice with it.

Four people were eventually ejected.

Now, a couple of things to keep in mind before I give you my verdict:

• This is back-to-back ejections.  Even managers, in my opinion, should be suspended a game under almost any circumstances for back-to-back ejections, before we get to anything else.  But at least that happens with respect to managers from time to time.
• He was suspended six games just ten months ago for a large-scale fight.

I say 6-7-8 games, appeal MAYBE down to five.  But then MLB makes it clear:  Another large-scale event like this he starts, and the bidding starts either side of a month.

[Sorsby] One more step, people...

Brendan Sorsby has been banned from the CFL today.

And Sorsby is probably headed to prison...

As a probable prelude to banning him, the NFL is NOT holding a 2026 Supplemental Draft.

The NFL does not believe Sorsby is accountable for his crimes.  It's basically certain he will be banned from the NFL.

The ball is now back in the Big XII's court.  Apparently, the Texas Tech program was probably told it would be thrown out of the conference, and, as of now, it appears he can't go back...

I don't see this going very far either... (The next chapter of the Sorsby Saga...)

Brendan Sorsby has filed for the Supplemental Draft of the NFL.

This is probably under threat of Texas A&M's material expulsion from the Big XII Conference, but we will see if this is the end of the story, or whether Commissioner Goodell will even allow him to take a practice field in the NFL before banning his ass.

Day 6 of the Trump Cup

• In a move surprising NO ONE, Donald Trump will be presenting the trophy to the winning team.
• Iran's team has been thrown out of the United States after it's first match, they'll be expected to train in one of the other host countries until being brought in for it's next match next week.  Fucking FIFA Peace Prize, am I right?
• We have a VAR official under investigation for a White Power symbol...  Like begets like, I guess.  Being as he is in the United States, one of the burgeoning White Right Power nations...  

I'm sure there's more, but I've been trying to avoid as much as I can about the Trump Cup...

Fuck off, UFC (Day 4)

This CAN'T have been an accident.

At Donald Trump's birthday party bloodsport UFC circle-jerk, Josh Hokit won his fight.

The fucker is an open transphobe who has openly proposed to get transgenders into his Octagon so he can kill them.

He also has made a career through two smaller organizations of an inflammatory conspiracy theory, and he just repeated it on the White House lawn tonight...

He believes Michele Obama is a man.

Fuck that bastard.  I say what needs to happen to the cunt-ass bitch, and I won't be around much longer.

Fuck off, Donald Trump (Day 3)

Dana White has said that tonight's christening of a probable execution chamber on the grounds of the White House should draw Super Bowl-level numbers.

No joke:  Here it is.

Donald Trump has said that the 80th birthday spectacular will be the most-viewed sporting event of all time.

During the World Cup.

Let that idiocy process.

This is going to be a LONG month. (Day 2)

Two things today:

1) Joe Rogan is noting the booing Donald Trump and the American flag are receiving in a number of sporting events, and is telling the Shithead to stay with similar Shitheads with the UFC.

Tomorrow is the debut of his possible White House execution chamber.

2) Yesterday, Mexican shirts all over downtown of my city.  This is going to be a long fucking month, isn't it?

May It Burn To The Ground, Day 1

It is of no wonder that the headline picture on ESPN's website on Mexico's group's opening day of the World Cup is Trump and FIFA tyrant bitch Infantino (yes, that is his name, and it's so appropriate) shaking hands at the draw last December.

This is not the world's cup.  This is Trump's.  And saying anything more on that vis-a-vis result may infringe on the boycott.

That said, I'm not necessarily going to do such a post every day of this tournament, but some thoughts to keep in mind at least periodically thereto:

Like a thought which resurfaced yesterday that the Pigfucker had when he said that the trilateral trade agreement between the three hosts of this World Cup (US, Mexico, Canada) might not be renewed.  You probably know his feelings on Mexico through his immigration scowling.

Here's a thought or two from the Asshole on Canada:  (from comments at the World Economic Forum four days after his reinstallation last year)

"We don't need them to make our cars. And they make a lot of them. We don't need their lumber, because we have our own forests. 

"We don't need their oil and gas. We have more than anybody." 

His eventual stated goal is to seize Canada, Mexico, and the entirety of what we now know as CONCACAF, from Greenland to Panama.

And it's his Cup.  Not yours, not the game's.

Enjoy your political farce, fuckers.

Oh yeah, Pigfucker has made his decision all right...

I make a point of leaving up all my errors.

That may be one of the worst-made posts in history.

Because we would like to congratulate the 2025-26 NBA Champion New York Knicks, who erased a TWENTY-NINE POINT DEFICIT to win Game 4.

Methinks Pigfucker has made the decision...

Mandani bans all spontaneous gatherings outside MSG for the balance of the Finals.

No Watch Parties for Game 4.

2 1/2 minutes to go in the 2nd quarter, Knicks are down 28 and the Spurs have already scored more than 70 points.

Methinks this series is over in six.  And the Spurs win it.

Because Donald wants it that way now.

The shit is officially hitting the fan...

Just a general round-robin of stories with one overreaching thread -- the plates are wobbling and about to fall off:

Karmelo Anthony (named after, obviously!!!) will spend 35 years in prison for the high-profile murder of a White track athlete in Texas.  They didn't wait to sentence him.

The NBA is being forced to condemn the actions of Knicks fans against Spurs fans in these Finals.  Monday's game was marred with several viral attacks on Spurs fans by Knicks fans on New York's streets.  (ESPN)  If the Spurs come back and win this series, you don't need to know the two reasons why.

After two days of meetings of concern among Big XII officials, Texas Tech is doubling down on the "gambling addict" angle with Brendan Sorsby and states he is going to play this season. It was largely immediately recognized, as an example, that the Debbie Gibson incident I had in 1998 was believed fueled by mental illness. I really wish people would understand not only the hypocrisy, but the danger, of Texas Tech going this route. Sorsby should be in prison for his gambling addiction and the obvious sports bribery which resulted from it. Additionally, this kind of an angle, if successful, renders the future policing of fair play impossible across American sports, with devastating results.

But this is nothing compared to the debacles on the soccer pitch:

The Trump Administration has made complete mincemeat of the World Cup.  At least two teams (Senegal and another) have detailed mass security efforts on American soil.

One of the assigned World Cup officials, a Qatari man, has been expelled from the World Cup, banned from the United States, and declared with terrorist ties.  Gee, you think that might not apply to MOST OF THE PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH FIFA, YOU ORANGE PIECE OF SHIT??   

Need I go into the Iran situation, especially with Trump bombing Iran just two days before the tournament is scheduled to begin?  Juicy, juicy terrorist targets all over the United States, Canada, and Mexico, by the way...    

Protests in Mexico appear ready to impact the fan experience in THAT host nation.

And, lastly, one on-the-pitch women's moment:  Last night, an edgy high-end international friendly between the United States and Brazil went VERY UNFRIENDLY in Brazil.  In the last 30 minutes of the match, the official sent off basically every coach for Brazil (four of them) and eventually sent off four players (including two after the whistle -- technically leaving Brazil with the minimum contingent to avoid an embarrassing abandonment of the match).  The United States won on a second-half own goal, 1-0.

Update on Sorsby...

 According to Maren Angus-Coombs on SI:

Once Brendan Sorsby is allowed to play, he is slated to receive FOUR MILLION DOLLARS in NIL funds.

Let.  That.  Process.

One article (Dan Wetzel at ESPN) also does note that at least two of the 40+ bets he made at Indiana were against the Hoosiers in some way, shape, or form.

And with the Pigfucker in attendance:

The Knicks lost their first game in about a month.

Series is now 2-1.

And now the question which will all but certainly decide the championship now:

Does he love James Dolan more, or does he hate New York for not kissing his mushroom dick?

Boos rained through any showing of his fat face.  Don't think that doesn't register to him.

San Antonio MAY be right back in this series.
