An un-memorable stupor bowl just ended. Despite screw ups too numerous to mention, the Rams pulled it off. I didn't really care for either team. I watched for a reported Let's Go Brandon political ad but never saw it.

Half time show? Didn't like it at all, and I'll leave well enough alone with that.

Winter Olympics: Kamila Valieva test 'due to contamination with grandad's medicine'

Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva has argued her positive drugs test was due to contamination with her grandad's medicine, an Olympic official says.

Drug cheats excuse........................... Grandad licked my glass...............

You either test positive for a drug or you don't

Should have been slung out of the Olympics - to be honest, the cheating Ruskis should never have been there in the first place

If all you can do is win by cheating, then don't bother

PSG - Real Madrid tonight for the Champions League.

Will watch, although not a supporter of either team, the interesting bit about this one is Mbappé could very much leave the Parisian club for Madrid this summer.

I’ll let you guys check out the BBC and the article about him:

Kylian Mbappe: Is PSG striker destined to join Real Madrid this summer?

PSG striker Kylian Mbappe is out of contract this summer - and on Tuesday has the chance to show his potential future employers what he can do.

www.bbc.com

The last paragraph of the article and Mbappé retort to Thierry Henry teasing him about speaking Spanish in the lockers made me giggle: « You can’t really become a World Star if you limit yourself to speaking French. »

Russian figure skater claims positive drug test came from granddad's medication

THE Russian figure skater at the heart of a Winter Olympics doping controversy says a positive drugs test was due to her GRANDAD’S medication. Teenager Kamila Valieva reportedly had THREE different…

More interesting news - she did not just test for one heart drug but for three - but it's okay she declared the other two, and they are not banned

Only good thing is she has now dived twice - and come fourth, so the other cheating Russians can stand on the podium

Australian cricket great Shane Warne dies, aged 52

“We all grew up watching Warnie, idolising him. We all had posters on our walls, had his earings.
“We loved so much about Warnie.
“His showmanship, his charisma, his tactics, the way he just willed himself and the team around him to win games for Australia.
“There are so many guys in this team and squad who still have him as a hero and all-time favourite player. The loss we are trying to wrap our head around is huge.

I'm not shocked. Saddened, but it doesn't come as much of a surprise.

RIP Warne. You may have been the enemy, but damn you were always entertaining.

Italy just ended a seven year, 36 game losing streak in the Six Nations with a last minute try and conversion. The try is arguably a contender for try of the tournament.

Nah, probably not any more odd than frigging Qatar hosting the Football World Cup on the bodies of Bangladeshi and Sri Lanka slaves to build their AC stadiums.

The Champions League final has been delayed by thirty minutes at least because according to reports some Liverpool fans tried to sneak in the Stadium and the police tried to push them back.

Whereas the British BBC mention about the French police pepper spraying British families.

Seems to be a shitshow at the moment. Whatever you think, hope no one will be hurt.

Some Spanish singer is doing a show right now.

Right result though - Real 2-0 and all the Liverpool UC benefit cheats gassed in Paris

Hope the French police don't hold back in doing the world a favour

Might have been naughty Liverpools supporters fault, but some of your guys medias were quickly blaming the French anti riots police.

Ah well, more importantly it seems no one was hurt and Real indeed won. I didn’t care that much for either team and the game was frankly dull. Thibault Courtois is an incredible goalkeeper.

The Liverpool 'supporters' never learn - loads turned up again without tickets and caused trouble

Hope the French riot police went in hard - it will give them something to moan about for the next 40 years

I bet there are clowns in Liverpool now spraying tear gas in their eyes, so they can claim some compo, or go on disability for the rest of their lives

The best player on the pitch was the goalkeeper - by a country mile
