Eagles Rodman Rocket Man
Maybe President Trump will un-cancel his meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles, like he did his meeting with the Pyongyang Tyrant.
It all had something to do with taking a knee during the National Anthem. Even though no Eagles took a knee.

Anyway, it turns out Kim’s best buddy, Denis Rodman, likes Trump. So The Worm gave Rocket Man a copy of “The Art of The Deal”.
Can it get any weirder.? Um, yes it can. Rodman will be in Singapore during the summit.
NBA Finals All About The Refs
So far the NBA finals have been all about the refs. In game one they overturned a charging call against Kevin Durant and changed it to a blocking foul against LeBron James. Durant went on to sink both free throws and tie the game.
Collision Collusion
But charging calls are only reviewable if the chargee – LeBron in this case – is thought to have been in the restricted zone. He wasn’t, but once the investigation was open they went after him for a different violation. His feet weren’t sufficiently planted when he took the collision.
NBA Finals All About the Refs
The NBA issues a Two Minute report on the officials after it’s all over and not reviewable. They say the prosecutors..er..refs got the charging call right. But Draymond Green should have been called for a foul against LeBron with 12 seconds remaining. Not only that, Green committed a lane violation on George Hill’s missed free throw with 4 seconds left.
That’s an opportunity cost of three more free throws for the frustrated Cavs.
Legal Sports Gambling
The Supreme Court cleared the way for states to allow sports gambling. By a 6-3 majority the court ruled the feds have no business interfering with states that want to allow betting.
The Real NCAA Basketball Scandal
LeBron James says the NCAA is corrupt.
I’ve always heard the narrative that they get a free education, but you guys are not bringing me on campus to get an education, you guys are bringing me on it to help you get to a Final Four or to a national championship…the NCAA is corrupt, we know that. Sorry, it’s going to make headlines, but it’s corrupt.
Of course LeBron avoided corruption by ascending into the NBA straight out of high school.
Here’s The Real NCAA Basketball Scandal
The players are the only ones who don’t get paid. Legally.
Kentucky coach John Calipari thinks players should be able to get loans using their pro potential as collateral. Kind of like an advance to an author from a publisher. But what if you’re not a pro prospect? Too bad. You’re lucky to get a scholarship.
Here’s everything else you need to know about the Scandal according ESPN.
North Korean Cheerleaders
North Korea brought 229 famous but mysterious cheerleaders to the winter Olympics. But the biggest North Korean cheerleaders were to be found in the American media.
They fawned over Kim Yo Jong, a sibling Kim Jong Un did not have murdered. She works in North Korea’s propaganda department.

The media obsession was too much for BuzzFeed. It wants to know “what the hell is wrong with you people?”
