Quick Hits: Volume CCXLV

 - It appears longtime news program 60 Minutes is back in the "selectively editing" business. 





If 60 Minutes *really* wanted to track a potential "pay-to-play" scandal, they might wanna look toward the left coast. 


 



Big Media really is becoming the caricature many conservatives have painted it as for the past few decades.  



- It was 27 years ago today when then L.A. Rams quarterback Jim Everett got into a dustup with sports guy Jim Rome on the latter's short lived ESPN2 TV show. 





The insinuation Rome made was Everett was tantamount to a woman (Chris Evert was the superstar female tennis player) playing in the NFL given how "soft" Rome perceived him to be.


If Rome made such remarks today, he would be effectively "canceled" for being a misogynist and/or "mis-gendering" a person.



-  The new site for the 2021 MLB All-Star Game has been revealed


Coors Field in Denver will hold the All-Star Game and its surrounding events, Major League Baseball announced Tuesday.

MLB opted to move the game out of Atlanta due to voting laws passed in Georgia last month.


I won't rehash how Commissioner Rob Manfred made this decision out of cowardice and ignorance. However, it doesn't appear Colorado's voting laws are dramatically different from Georgia's. 





And isn't amazing that the "Wokes'" actions always end up benefitting whitey???
