Debby, "Rich," Pitbull Stadium and Straight Women Have Fewer What..?

The Schloss-Blog is tracking Debby, she's a raging downer, Pitbull's stadium, Taylor Swift and terrorism (wha..?) and why we love Tim Walz.

Well, Debby hung around long enough, didn't she?

Tropical Storm nee Hurricane Debby finally went off shore this weekend after wreaking havoc from the Gulf Coast to the Maine coast. There was seven inches of rain in parts of northern New York. I went to college in northern New York.

Ouch!

I can't remember too many storms that hit Florida, went off into the Atlantic, came back to hit the Carolinas and then wind northward through the Eastern Seaboard, not while I was growing up in New York, especially.

Debby downer indeed.

Going to a Florida International University (FIU) football game this fall?

Pitbull will be there.

The south Florida school will have the south Florida rapper at every game this year as his name becomes the name on the school's football stadium.

What's next - Gloria Estefan center court for FIU basketball?

On his "Hot Ones" podcast, influencer Sean Evans, all of 23, interviews celebrities and pits them against hot wings to see if they can stand up to them.

Is there an influencer catefory for interviewing Arizona high school football to see if they can stand up to my red-hot questioning?

No.

The Olympics are rockin'. 

U.S. basketball - rockin'! U.S. track and field - rockin' out! Did you see those 4x400 relays?

U.S. gymnastics - so rockin'! Soccer? Oh yeah!

NBC telecasts? Not so much. Too many "playing through" inserts, difficult scoreboards to read with small, no-contrast type faces and just way so much promotion for NBC's fall lineup that I can recite it by heart.

Teenagers were threatening to disrupt Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna with a terrorist attack on the venues.

Tay-Tay, it's time to endorse Kamala.

Donald Tramp was all over Kamala when the market slid last week. Now they're back but his polling numbers against Kamala aren't.

Straight women have fewer orgasms than lesbians. No, really. 

Tim Walz is a former teacher and coach. I'm a former teacher and sportswriter. No wonder I love the guy.

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Sean Evans.

More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show.
