Has there ever been an ‪#‎NBAFinals‬ with more schizophrenic reporting. After each game a different team can’t lose. ‪#‎Warriors‬ ‪#‎Cavs‬

SF Giants winning run Tuesday night scored on a wild pitch with Madison Bumgarner up at the plate, one of two wild pitches in that at-bat. Thrown in part because the Brewers pitcher didn’t want to throw Madbum a fast ball.  #pitcherswhorake #pitcherswhoscareotherpitchers

Apparently last month Cowboys’ RB Darren McFadden dropped his cell phone, tried to grab the phone before it hit the ground, and broke a bone in his elbow. Worse yet, the NFL refused to rule it a catch.

Apparently more money is stored on Starbucks cards – currently $1.2 billion, than is at some banks. Of course, with the near zero rates most banks have on their accounts these days, Americans are making out better with Starbucks rewards than with interest on their savings.

Got to love United. They announce a flight delay until 1215p, but with the caveat “Please be at the gate prior to the scheduled departure time of 1025a as the departure time could be revised again.” Right, even though the plane isn’t arriving until 1000a. ‪#‎airlinemath‬

Hillary Clinton has won the Washington, DC primary. So who even knew Washington DC had a presidential primary?

–

Donald Trump is revoking press credentials for the Washington Post. Amazing how a man who now so strongly defends the second amendment seems to have forgotten about the first.

–

California Senator Dianne Feinstein released data today showing that 2477 people on the FBI terrorist watch list attempted to buy weapons between 2004-15, and 2265 were approved. Well, that ought to get even GOP members of Congress appalled enough to do something. ‪#‎sarcasm‬ ‪#‎wecandream‬

If ‪#‎ISIS‬ put a message out on social media thanking ‪#‎NRA‬ for their help in ‪#‎SanBernandino‬ & ‪#‎Orlando‬ mass shootings would it even matter?

Former Giants and currently Indians third baseman Juan Uribe left the game on a cart yesterday after a ground ball gave him a “testicular contusion.” Women are thinking “That sounds painful.” Men are thinking, well, they don’t even want to think about it.

Not sure how many games this ‪#‎NBAFinals‬ will go. But are ANY of them going to be close?

–

Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said his Super Bowl ring had the wrong name on it. Oops, if they were going to forgot a name it should have been Denver’s offensive coordinator. Does Denver HAVE an offensive coordinator.

–

Airport security guy at Heathrow asks me about U.S. election. Says he hopes HIllary will win. Because Trump is crazy and because “Hillary will have Bill to help her run things.” ‪#‎thetimestheyareachangin‬ ‪#‎sortof‬

Donald Trump, lowering the facts bar again in yet another inflammatory speech post ‪#‎Orlando‬. “Remember this, radical Islam is anti-woman, anti-gay and anti- American.” And many of Trump’s supporters are now thinking “well, they’re  actually right two out of three.”

–

Trump is calling again for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. So considering the Orlando killer was American born is the Donald proposing this ban to be in utero?

–

“Orlando Police Chief John Mina said the tragedy began unfolding at 2:02 a.m., when three police officers engaged the suspect in a gun battle outside the club.” So even THREE good guys with a gun couldn’t stop this a**hole. ‪#‎moregunsnottheanswer‬

Islamic State radio today called the U.S. born killer “one of the soldiers of the caliphate in America.” In some ways though it doesn’t matter, if the shooting was mostly about ISIL, or hatred of gays, or if he was just a nasty unstable man (his ex-wife said he beat her.) ISIL still has limited power in the U.S…. unless they can help ignite a race-religion war.
