Hockey and Basketball just had their drafts and free agency. Nothing earth shattering as far as I can tell. Football is not worth mentioning till the end of August. Baseball just had their all-star game and their trade deadline isn’t till the 1st of next month.
So here is a bunch of rando sports and other shit.
Tour de France
Stage 13 today.
This didn’t age well.
Women’s World Cup
Group play starts on July 20th. The U.S. team is trying for a three-peat. Dennis Rodman’s daughter Trinity is a hell of a player.
Wimbledon
American Christopher Eubanks had an inspiring run.
Here is your other shit.
Wonka
I fucking love Nicolas Cage
The Retirement Plan
E.T. for grown-ups.
Jules
How do they make that?
Lea & Perrins
Watcha got?
Did Nick Cage rip off Jeff Bridges Beard and glue it on his face?
Wonka…no.
Along with Nick Nolte’s hair and shirt.
DAMN!!!
Sorry, but Gene Wilder can’t be topped as Willy Wonka no matter how often Hollywood goes back to that well.
Nick Cage, “Who does he have to kill to get some peace and quiet?” I think this movie looks like tongue-in-cheek fun! Unrelated rando comment, I was sorry to see that Sandman season two is interrupted by the strike (not a commentary on the righteousness and validity of the strike, just a comment on my television viewing preferences).
Yep, sometimes I just want mindless entertainment. Jules looks good too.
I posted this on the DOT a few minutes ago. But I’m going to add it here too because it’s hilarious.

Video footage of the Dinner.
South Africa vs. New Zealand in The Rugby Championship tomorrow, and no way to watch it. [pissy face emoji]
I guess something called “flosports” won the rights. It’s crazy to me how the networks have to be dragged kicking and screaming into covering things like this. It took them forever to pick up world cup soccer, and it’s been a huge rating success for them when they finally did.

Flo Rugby has a decent selection of leagues/events but it’s $30/mo or something stupid. I pay $6 for Peacock to watch Premiership.
I read that the dude who stabbed Larry Nassar a bunch of times said he did so because the cell block was watching women play at Wimbledon and Nassar said he wished he could watch girls play.
So anyways, I can’t really be mad at the stabber.
Summer league NBA has been fun this year. Always fun to guess who will make it on a team & who should pack for overseas or the G league.
