It was Black Thursday in New England yesterday (Sox/Celtics). Oh well.
OK, one final time (until next season). I hate the NBA game. While I’m at it, I hate the “Euro Step/Move” and even hate the reference to it. (I know, a lot of hate there. Let me be)
What happens on the mile, stays on the mile.
Charles Schwartzel won the inaugural LIV Golf Invitational and took home a whopping $4.75 million!
My heart goes out to the residents of Odessa, TX who had either no water this past week or very low water pressure. As a result, a “boil water advisory” was put into place. Did I mention that the temperatures there were as high as 105 degrees in Odessa?

In case you didn’t hear, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was called out on a rule he didn’t know. You can’t bring a position player in to pitch unless your team is down by 5 or more runs. What? So, one of the greatest players of his time, Shohei Otani of the Angels, can’t be brought in to close out a critical 1-run playoff game? Silly rule. (Editor’s note: The Angels suck and likely won’t make the playoffs, but… you get my point)
Trivia #2 hint: You ain’t getting’ no stinkin’ hint!
The Giants, Yankees, Rangers, Knicks, Mets and Jets have gone 3,785 days, or 10 years/131 days without a championship. It is New York’s largest championship drought in the last 100 years.

How am I supposed to know how to act my age? I’ve never been this old before.

It’s just old Luke and Luke’s waitin’ on the Judgment Day
