These days: Thursday, January 7th, 2016
Sports: Ken Griffey Junior used to say how much he hated the Yankees and according to Griffey Senior it is Billy Martin’s fault Ken never donned the pinstripes: “Martin had someone approach me and tell me to tell my two kids to be quiet. Junior was 11. And Junior happened to be standing outside the door, waiting to come into the locker room.” Mike Piazza was no fan of the Yankees either. So welcome to the Hall Of Fame, guys. Was the 90s the last golden age of baseball or did steroids leave too big a stain? Certainly this century has belonged to football.
More Sorts: Knicks have won three in a row.
Recorded: OK enough already, I want to put something fresh in my ears now.
Live: Governors Ball tomorrow… is it worth $650? It better be… I’m too old for VIP, I don’t have the energy.
The Middle East: So one year into King Salman’s rule and here comes the beast of Saud, an 82 year old rattler of Shiites nerves. I think Iran don’t want this at all, let’s see what they do. The word on the street is second in line for the throne Deputy Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, is the guy behind the House’s new attitude.
Business: “Stocks in the U.S. and Europe sank after trading was halted in China for the second time this week. Markets had plummeted in Asia over concerns about China’s currency.” All bad news, all the time.
