first, the good news. ZZ absolutely rolled as a -525 fav over a seeded player, 6-1, 6-3. by the time they leave rome, he'll probably be the favorite in the french open.
now, the very sad news. camila giorgi has retired.
he literally thought the gag order meant he couldn't testify. yup, he's a bright one. it was fun watching his attorney bite his tongue.
the prevailing theory is that his lawyers told him that's what the gag order meant so he'd stop asking them to let him testify.
apparently they now do the draw a full week before the race. this is probably about as good a draw as fierceness could have hoped for. i haven't done any work on this race, and probably won't for a few more days, but unless a couple of the horses outside of fierceness are serious early...

and then that pesky "mainstream media" posts video of cars freely moving right past the courthouse and a lack of barricades... and reports that there was literally one single trump fan there... and not ONE SINGLE TRUMP SUPPORTER then posts something...

Not long ago, anyone who advocated for the execution of people simply because they are in a different party would have been considered a nut job. Now? For Republican voters, that sort of insanity is a feature, not a bug...
Who comes up with this shit?
First of all, the 7-10 seeds play in the first round. But instead of 7 vs 10 and 8 vs 9, they do 7 vs 8 & 9 vs 10. Makes a ton of sense. But then it gets worse. That was yesterday. Round two is today. Still at home sites. Which means Queens made a 4+ hour...

How's that Biden impeachment going? I mean, with all the dirt the republicans have on that crooked Joe, surely he's been impeached by now?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again... one of these has to be true...
1) Joe Biden is a true criminal mastermind who is outwitting the republicans...
