Chris Lynch's slanted view on sports, politics and entertainment. Please send thoughts or comments to chris.lynch@gmail.com
Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Can you launch a paper airplane from space that won't burn up on re-entry?
- Adam Vinatieri - WTF? We've all seen linemen who slimmed way down after retiring. Who knew kickers bulked up like this after hanging up their cleats?
- Red Sox sign Raffy Devers to an 11-year $331 million contract. For many Boston fans though it is too little too late.
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Inflation may actually help the newspaper industry are people start buying papers again just for the coupons to stretch their now shrinking buying power. Just like in the 1970's... CDC investigating reports of 'mild' heart problems in adolescents and teens after Covid vaccine. "The preliminary report by a committee tasked with monitoring vaccine side effects found 62 cases of myocarditis, including two deaths, in people who received the Pfizer vaccine." What would you rather risk - getting a disease which is almost 100% non-fatal to teens and adolescents or risking permanent heart damage? The CDC paused the Johnson & Johnson vaccine for less... God bless Jordan Petersen... A while ago I predicted some would look for "dating" apps to require vaccination status. That seems to be coming true. I also predicted the next step would be proof of STD and HIV testing. Next up - mandatory 23andMe tests... Adam Vinatieri announced his retirement yesterday. As amazing as his game winning kicks were the thing that stands out for me is the time he freaking ran down Hershel Walker...
