Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Happy Bobby Bonilla Day!

Yes, ’tis a most glorious day for all who celebrate it until 2035. It’s also Rick DiPietro Day and apparently the final Ilya Bryzgalov Day as his buyout will be paid off at the end of this season.

Also, Canada Day. They’re joining Eurovision, and we’re not (although apparently they’re giving the U.S. “observer” status, because NBC trying to do Amerivision that one year worked so well—also, Amerivision was a better name than whatever crap name they came up with). Regardless, I AM HERE FOR THE CONCEPT OF CELINE DE POITRINE THAT I HEARD AS A COMMENT. WIN ALL THE EUROVISIONS.

Anyway, no crazy news from today. Sad news, sure. Calais Campbell’s mother has passed away and his brother has been charged with murder. Yesterday we got word that CJ2K has ALS. But no, no updates so far on Terrion Arnold. I mean, cut due to now potentially facing life in prison is pretty much “career over.”

Okay, what’s on tonight? Oh yeah, the U.S. taking on Bosnia & Herzogovina in the round of 32 (8:00, Fox). Incidentally, the Bosnian theme & goal song? Solid. You get no points for guessing the American goal song, of course it’s “Free Bird.”

Also on, probably baseball. It’s July, so maybe the Yankees will remember how to play baseball again. Or more likely, they’ll be down 8 games to the Rays by the All-Star break, coast to WC1, get pantsed, and like The Onion‘s gun articles, “‘No Way to Prevent This,’ Says Only Baseball Team Where This Regularly Happens.” Every June. Like fucking clockwork.

At press time, it’s England 0, DR Congo 1 at the start of the second half. I look forward to either the schadenfreude or milk-like aging of that score below!
