In Bavaria that's known as a winkerplunkenschlagerei.

I just want the Mariners to be relevant. Please roster a title contender and get to the Series while I'm still competent enough to salute the achievement.

I'm very glad to hear that New Hampshire ingenuity has found a use for the invasive green crab. At first I thought this had something to do with a much smaller species of crabs. Once those things become established, they are very difficult to get rid of. One recommended cure was to rub sand and alcohol on the affected area. The crabs would drink the alcohol, get drunk, and stone each other to death with the sand. The Navy-recommended cure was a quick trip to sick bay for a bit of the delousing salve.

At 11 years old, Olivia Moultrie was given a soccer scholarship by the University of North Carolina to play there after when she reached eligibility and then ditched that a few years later to sign an endorsement deal with Nike and turn pro. At 15 years old, Moultrie successfully sued the National Women's Soccer League over their eligibility rule (no one under 18) and then joined the Portland Thorns. Her first game was at 15 years old and then just the other night, at 16 years old, became the youngest player to score a goal in the NWSL. The kids are alright.

Meanwhile, my 12 year old is getting good at avoiding outdoor air, playing Roblox, playing Ginchen Impact, and watching Roblox Youtubers on her iPad.

Wiggins is one of the most talented 2 way players in the league. He'll always deliver great defense and near double digit rebounds but he's also a guy with a switch when it comes to offense. If he misses 3 or 4 early shots he'll stop shooting. If he hits early pretty much guaranteed 20 plus points and near 60 percent from the field.

He is the key on this team. He plays almost the entire game and always is matched up against the other teams' superstar player. Even scoring only 10 or 12 he takes a huge load off of others. Check the finals stats: top 5 in points, steals, rebounds, blocks, and minutes. Don't know if there is a more underrated NBA player.

Here's an interesting stat: Tatum is a career 0.456 shooter. In this series Wiggins has him at 0.373. Tatum was 0.462 against Miami.

I'm quite confident that you guys are a good bit older than me, but I remember watching Hollywood Squares as a kid. Now were there new episodes or reruns in the late 80s/90s? Do I know who Charley Weaver is? I have no idea. But the point is I have seen the show! I also enjoy your anecdotal posts even when I have no idea what you're talking about.

NBA beat the NHL to it with the Finals featuring Thunder vs. Heat.

But at least both leagues remain consistent, mandating that their non-"S" finalists be named after weather events.

Unlike women's pro soccer teams, which are named after attributes (Pride, Courage, Spirit, etc.)

In a noteworthy development the NFL has named "official wines". One would think it might be the vintages of former QB Drew Bledsoe's Doubleback Winery, but it is not. Some of you might remember the TV comedy/game show "Hollywood Squares" which featured as one of its regulars Cliff Arquette in his character of Charley Weaver. In one episode, Charley was asked, "What two brothers enabled mankind to fly?" His answer, "Ernest and Julio Gallo", and that is now the official wine brand of the NFL.

The video of the end of that fight is disturbing. He becomes so confused he begins throwing punches at the air.

It has been a long time since I enjoyed boxing or any other similar sport. It's a bit hard to believe I ever did, but sportswriters elevated it into something glorious in the 1970s and I bought in.

Do the foolhardy, witless Browns deserve an opportunity to void Deshaun Watson's contract on a personal conduct basis?

If they go further and discover that the Texans knew a lot about Watson's conduct before trading him*, do the Browns deserve the chance to void the trade and recover their draft capital?

*Assuming that the Browns are astute enough to make the discovery, which is assuming a lot.
