Sports, Mostly

After watching NBA highlights over the weekend, I have a conviction about the future: when the aliens come, they'll wipe out humanity, then see Victor Wembanyama and say, "Okay, buddy. You can come with us."

I don't know of any NBA trade in my lifetime where a superstar approaching his prime was traded for a lesser superstar past his prime without a slew of additional compensation involved. Eli 23.6 messaged me over night with "LUKA" and a bunch of shocked face emojis. I assumed he scored 70 points in a game, went out and checked the news, and my jaw hit the floor.

"Devout Christian" Justin Tucker is now being accused of a similar masseuse roulette scandal as Deshaun Watson. I think eight women have come forward at this point with credible accusations of sexual assault. 

I said this about DeShaun Watson and I'll say it again: professional athletes do not go to an endless stream  of different massage therapists. Athletes use massage to fine-tune their bodies for an extraordinarily high level of performance. It's their livelihood. They will have a favorite and not go to anyone else.

It's a gigantic red flag when any athlete goes to therapist after therapist. That alone is a strong indication that something untoward (and dark) is happening.
