still going on just 3 hours of sleep...

 so, i think my body is almost used to just how fucking crazy my Sunday nights get between sports and all the shows i watch. throw in the Gold Cup final and the Olympics and you can imagine the power nap i took from 6 to 9 this morning and said i'm good to go.

first off, let's start with the Gold Cup. Mexico said this was going to be their revenge for the USA beating them in June in the Nations League final. the USMNT was young as hell last night. they were up against Mexico's "A" team. when Miles Robinson scored in the 117th minute to put the USA up 1-0, i was delirious. when the final whistle blew, i had tears flowing. this is the most proud i have been of this team in almost 20 years. and this gives me so much hope they can actually qualify for the World Cup and win it one time before i die. plus, anytime the USMNT can stick it to Mexico, i am fucking happy.

of course, the other side of the coin, the USWNT lost to Canada, 1-0 for the first time in 20 years. that means this will be the second straight Olympics they won't be playing for a gold medal.

the Yankees swept the Marlins yesterday, 3-1. Anthony Rizzo started the winning rally. he's been simply amazing since the trade. they start a series tonight at home against Baltimore.

i did watch some of the TBT games yesterday. the championship game tomorrow should be good.

Big Brother was good last night.

the season finale of The Chi was good last night.

the season finale of Black Monday was hilarious last night.

the season finale of Flatbush Misdemeanors was crazy last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking funny as hell last night.

The White Lotus was great last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night.

the USA women's basketball team defeated France last night, 93-82. hopefully, the men will beat Spain tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

NBA free agency starts tonight, so i'm expecting some crazy shit as usual.

i do plan on watching the USA men's basketball team tonight against Spain, which should be really good.

mom's scan she had done today didn't take very long. i did get 3 poems written. i typed those up when i got back home. hell, i think the time we were in the drive thru lane at Burger King for mom's frozen Coke took longer than how long her scan went.

i did listen to episode 354 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:
