The sins associated with playing cards are nothing new. The Synod of 1404 forbade card-playing by the clergy and in 1423 Saint Bernard called for the faithful to go home, get their playing cards and burn them right in the public square outside of Saint Peter's in the Vatican.
I wonder if that ruling against clergy playing cards has ever been rescinded? Personally I can't ever recall seeing a priest at a poker table. And now I really want a version of Dogs Playing Cards but with priests instead.

With the NBA and Stanley Cup playoffs and drafts done - we are getting to the point where sports outlets try to push soccer and WNBA storylines. Think it's no coincidence that many American men tend to start concentrating on keeping up the lawn, going to the beach, or BBQing about now.

Would it be wrong for a parent to report teachers or others who want to introduce LGBT+ lessons or drag queen story times to kids for child endangerment? Often where there's smoke there's fire and this would have a lot more common sense protection impulses than the opposite tactics of swatting or lawfare which I think future generations will just view as ridiculous.

Mea culpa - the Celtics did drafted 19-year old Hugo Gonzalez from Spain Wednesday with the 28th pick. Boston was supposed to pick 2nd last night but traded the pick. I lost interest in the draft at that point. In my youth we used to have Red Auerbach trading Rick Robey and 2 second rounders for Dennis Johnson plus a 1st and 3rd round pick. Those trades were consequential. Fitting that today is the anniversary of that trade happening in 1983.

Last night was the start of the NBA Draft and it was no surprise that Cooper Flagg went first overall. I actually made it to the 15th pick before growing weary of the "show" (because that's what it's become). Now every outlet wants to give their spin on each pick when the real truth is nobody knows anything. Just report the facts.

Congrats to OKC on winning their first NBA Championship. Wish I could say it was a thrilling game 7 but after Tyrese Haliburton went down with a calf injury for the Pacers - it became somewhat of a foregone conclusion. Like to say I stayed up for the presentation of the Larry O'Brien trophy (which should be renamed for Red Auerbach) but the 8:00 start coupled with a full day meant it was time for bed instead.

The Red Sox opened a weekend series with the San Francisco Giants last night. They won 7-5 but I did not watch the game. Rafael Devers went 0 for 5 but that's not the point. Boston fans' antipathy to the owner and front office stems from how they treated Jon Lester and just got worse from there culminating in the Mookie Betts trade to the Dodgers.

President Trump is calling for the unconditional surrender of Iran and threatening to come in on the side of Israel in the war and rain devastation upon the country. It could also be the first salvo of a deal where you ask for what the other party would consider the worst case in hope the Iranians say "OK we give up on our nuclear dreams but please don't blow us up."

The Red Sox have dealt Rafael Devers to the San Fran Giants for a couple of pitchers. What Boston got back is not important to many fans as the fact that Devers was the last player left from the 2018 Championship team and most of the Red Sox moves since then have either been cost cutting moves or head scratchers. Now many many folks are basically done with this team. And I don't blame them.
