Left Coast Sports Babe

NCAA president Mark Emmert says schools will cancel championship games in 22 fall sports, because not enough teams are participating. The only fall sport saved? FBS football. Because hey, the plan always was a championship ACC team vs an SEC team, or two SEC teams, anyway.

Indians’ pitcher Zach Plesak says he’s tired of being portrayed as a bad person for leaving his team hotel, to go out with friends.   Plesak said he & teammate Clevinger were within CDC guidelines when they broke curfew and were never with “more than eight people the entire night.” So Zach’s defense is he wasn’t a villain, he was just stupid?

On a can of soup. Servings by container – “About 2.” Calories per serving, 110. Calories per container, 250. Last I remember, even in elementary school “about” is not a math concept.  (Also 2 x 110 is NOT 250.)

AMC is going to open 100 theaters on Aug. 20, and to attract customers, all tickets that day will be 15 cents. A small popcorn and soda, however, will be $25.

24th Amendment prohibits both Congress & states from conditioning right to vote in federal elections on payment of a poll tax or other types of tax. Where are some good lawyers who can use this to argue that forcing Americans to pay for ballot postage in pandemic IS a tax?

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell just adjourned the Senate until September without a deal in large part because he claims he didn’t want the Democrats giving Americans $600 not to work.

Can some reporters head to Kentucky or wherever to get daily pictures of Mitch McConnell, who is worth over $22 million, for the next month enjoying his taxpayer funded vacation?

Wonder how many of these Democrats on Twitter who are just furious that one or another of their favorites isn’t scheduled to speak next week plan on actually watching the virtual convention?

Trump says now he’s going to give his RNC nomination acceptance speech from the White House lawn, because it’s going to be “hot” at Gettysburg in late August. Uh, Donald wanted to give his speech outdoors on the same day, in Florida?!!!

The President of the United States at 1am just retweeted insults about Biden and Harris  that most 12 yr olds would consider childish, from supporter with no profile picture & less than 1000 followers after being on Twitter 8 years. But tell me again how we should be worried about Joe Biden’s cognitive skills?

So if Trump eliminates the Post Office how are people going to be able to send cards to say “Merry Christmas” again?

–

What’s next, Trump’s going to stop all federal funding for roads because people might drive to polling places?
