Names making news

 Once upon a time, while she was the "Money Honey" at CNBC, Maria Bartiromo was immortalized in song by the punk rock legends, The Ramones. I forget which one of the band members had a crush on her, prompting the song.

Today, she's a Fox Shmooze/Business gasbag who took the party line Sunday, trying to claim that President Biden is a "partner" to his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. Nothing could be further from the truth.

But, then, what would you expect from Fox, other than to avoid the truth.
==============================================
Tom Brady will be playing in the fall, after all.

The 7-time Super Bowl winner announced on Twitter Sunday he was ending his retirement after less than 2 months. Apparently, Brady was afraid Tampa would trade for troubled Houston QB Deshaun Watson, or elevate Kyle Trask, who carried a clipboard last season, to the starting role. Not only that, I think he's coming back so his BFF, professional lunkhead Rob Gronkowski, doesn't sign someplace else.
=============================================
Wrestling Hall of Famer Scott Hall was on life support over the weekend after suffering three heart attacks following hip surgery.


Hall, who won tag titles under his own name in the AWA & WCW with multiple partners (i.e. Kevin Nash, Curt Hennig) and in the then-WWF as Razor Ramon, where he also won the Intercontinental title, retired from competition in 2010. At last check, he's to be taken off life support once his family arrives. Son Cody had been with New Japan Pro Wrestling a few years back.

Update, 8:27 pm: Hall has passed away at 63.

So sad to hear about Farmer Scott Hall. I remember him back in the day under his Razor Ramon title. I wish his family comfort in what they are going through now.
