Sporting News.

Within the last hour: Chris Bosh, one of the nicest human beings in sports, who developed a blood clot in a lung, a potentially fatal condition, won't play the rest of this basketball season. Bosh was part of Miami's "Big Three" with LeBron James and Dwayne Wade from 2010-2014. Those are three superstar human beings.

Son: God Newcastle looks awful, 2-0 now
Son: As I was saying to dad, were averaging one goal about every 6-7 minutes. This has been an amazing start. It looks unfair, like a pro club vs a college club or something
Son: It's insane they look so sluggish
Me: Newcastle does look awful. We're just one pass away from scoring.
Me: Another chance! Dzeko just misconnected with Nasri. Terrible. NC's terrible.
Son: And look at their offense lol it's almost comical
Me: Yes, their O is pathetic. Like, "Is this how you do it, I'm not sure.?"
Son: Hahah that quote epitomizes exactly what their offense looked like in that sequence

Manchester City beat Newcastle United, 5-0.  It was absurd and even for City fans like my son, my daughter, myself, and the 48,000 at the Etihad--who didn't make a lot of noise--it was boring to watch. City's next match is home against Barcelona in the UCL. There is absolutely nothing predictive about today's match.

Leaders Chelsea drew at home against Burnley :o who are in the relegation zone. City therefore picked up two points. Chelsea still lead by five with twelve matches to play. City will be favored to win out even at Liverpool, Chevrolet United of Manchester and Spurs. Chelsea have a bit tougher road, they play Southampton, CUM, and the Vegetarians, but at home, and Arsenal at the Emirates; probably be underdogs against the Arse. If there's anything predictive about Chelsea's match today, Chelsea's in trouble.

And finally, they are playing hockey tonight outdoors--in San Jose, California. The "Sharks" and the L.A. "Kinks." 70,000 kinks expected to be in attendance.
