Sophomore Georgia DE Jonathan Ledbetter was arrested for the 2nd time this year over alcohol, this time for a DUI, in March it was for a fake ID and underage possession.
Shame Ledbetter couldn’t have declared for this year’s draft, he sure seems NFL ready.

 

 

Donald Trump’s son says his dad is looking for a VP who is “immensely capable, immensely competent, garners respect … ” And Republicans are going…hmm, can we get someone like that at the top of the ticket?

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott reportedly sustained “extensive second- and third-degree burns” on both legs below the knees and both feet.”” and may miss the GOP convention. Sounds painful, bul less so than showing up and pretending to support Trump.

–

In Vacaville, California, an alleged drunk driver crashed into a house, then the homeowner went after the driver with a baseball bat. Both men were arrested. ‪#‎ifonlytheywerearmed‬.

–

Rudy Giuliani said today that black children have “a 99% chance” of killing each other — so they shouldn’t worry so much about police brutality. Dear gawd. So can he go back to just talking about 9-11?

–

Clayton Kershaw threw a light bullpen session today, but the Dodgers say he is not ready to return yet. San Francisco fans wish Kershaw the best, maybe he can pace himself, take care of his back, come back after the next series with the Giants?

–

Meanwhile beginning to think @bcraw35 will be added to NL ‪#‎AllStar‬ team as soon as every other infielder is injured. ‪#‎SFGiants‬

Retired general Michael Flynn, who’s been listed as a possible running mate for Donald Trump, today said about abortion – women “are the ones that have to make the decision” because they are the ones who have to “decide to bring up that child or not.”
Well, that’s one way to recuse yourself from consideration.

 

A group of South Carolina secessionists flew the Confederate flag for several hours at the statehouse today, saying the flag’s take down was the “greatest treason” in the state’s history. Uh…. right. ‪#‎sarcasm‬

A VERY few good men.

Caitlyn Jenner is going to Cleveland for the convention: “I want to support courageous Republicans who advocate for LGBT freedom.” Well, this should be a quick trip.

 

Yeah, all ‪#‎SFGiants‬ fans figured going into the All-Star game they’d be getting big game winning hits from Green, Williamson and Tejada

–

Javier Lopez fell out of the dugout today on his way to warm up. The SF Giants lefty was unhurt and retired the only batter he faced. Had it been Affeldt last year, Jeremy would have landed on the DL for three weeks.

–

Golf has been absent from the Olympics for 112 years. Today, Dustin Johnson became the latest top golfer say he won’t play due to Zika worries. So would it hurt that much to make the absence 116 years? ‪#‎Tokyo2020‬

–

#‎NottheOnion‬ Tubby Reddy, CEO of the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee says of the 2020 Tokyo Games, if Oscar Pistorus “is out on parole, as it seems he will be before then, and qualifies for selection, then I don’t see how there can be a problem.”
An actual killer returning to sports? Isn’t that the NFL’s province?

–

The NRA finally came out with a statement about the Dallas killings, expressing “deep anguish” and offering “deepest condolences” etc, but saying nothing about guns
What, no railing about gun-free zones? Or the usual ‪#‎ifonlytheywerearmed‬? Oh, wait….never mind.

Okay, anyone else feel ‪#‎UFC200‬ is the sports equivalent of ‪#‎GameofThrones‬ – one of those “important” things I care and know nothing about.

–

In Aragon, a bullfighter has been gored to death during a tournament, which is supposedly the first fatality for the sport since 1987. Well, except for the bulls.

–

6 more women are accusing ‪#‎RogerAiles‬ of sexual harassment. So it’s going to be another of those He said, she she she she said situations.

–

So are they going to retitle the show ‪#‎FoxandFriendswithBenefits‬?

–

Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren is defending Roger Ailes, saying she’s even been alone with him and “nothing happened.” So maybe Greta’s just not his type?

–

Mike Huckabee, criticizing President Obama “I think this is a time when real leaders bring people together, he doesn’t split them apart. He doesn’t need to inject the divisive arguments like gun control at a time of great grief for the nation. And he ought to do for us what Ronald Reagan did after the Challenger disaster.”

Because a sniper ambushing police is the same kind of tragedy as the shuttle blowing up. And I guess Huckabee forgot Reagan was for banning assault weapons. ‪#‎SMH‬

 

–

s there really a reason to keep showing the picture of the Dallas police killer? ‪#‎enoughalready‬ ‪#‎justshowpicturesofthemenhekilled‬.

–

Now much is being made of how the Dallas police killer sexually harassed at least one woman while he was in the military. Hmm. sexual harassment allegations as way to make it harder for men from getting guns….I could handle that. Not sure the NRA would agree.
