Can Asian economies cope with the fallout from the Iran war? | Business and Economy
Fuel costs, inflation and debt pressures are testing Asian economies.
Working from home. Fuel queues. Blackouts. This is the fallout from the war on Iran across Asia. Governments are scrambling to shield their economies from the worst of the energy crisis.
Some are rationing fuel. Others are reintroducing subsidies or limiting exports altogether. And the longer the Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted, the worse it gets – so much so for vulnerable economies.
Rising oil prices are driving up import bills — just as remittances fall and currencies weaken. Dollar-priced fuel, food, fertiliser and debt all have become more expensive, forcing governments to burn through reserves, borrow more or cut elsewhere.

Tyrus warns technology is eroding friendships and problem-solving skills
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
With friends like these, who needs enemies? Phones may be corroding our social fabric as we know it.
Fox News contributor Tyrus and bodybuilder Dr. Mike Israetel explored the growing grip technology has on modern life during a recent episode of the “Planet Tyrus” podcast.
“Could you put your phone down for the weekend?” Tyrus asked Israetel. “A lot of people, they would get anxiety.”
“If Wi-Fi went out tomorrow — chaos.”
MOST AMERICANS ARE DOING ONE NIGHTLY ACTIVITY THAT’S WRECKING THEIR SLEEP, EXPERT SAYS
The two discussed broader concerns about the impact of constant connectivity on human relationships and social development.

“Some fraction, at least, of the population doesn’t have a lot of close friends,” Israetel said.
Data suggests the rate of isolation is rising. A 2021 survey by the Survey Center on American Life found that the percentage of Americans reporting no close friends increased from 3% in 1990 to 12% in 2021.

Mental health struggles appear to be climbing at the same time. A 2026 Gallup poll found that roughly 19% of Americans reported currently having or being treated for depression — an increase of nearly nine percentage points since 2015.
Tyrus pointed to what he described as a “cultural shift,” particularly among younger generations.
“It’s made so easy for young men not to do s— now,” Tyrus said, arguing that comfort and convenience have reduced the pressure to become independent.
That convenience, the two suggested, may come at a cost. With instant access to answers, navigation and entertainment, people may be losing opportunities to develop problem-solving skills and resilience.
Tyrus recalled a recent discussion he had with his wife about how days seemed to feel shorter.
“I think because the time that we used to figure things out or go to the store or go on a walk is now on your phone,” Israetel said, adding that many people are still struggling to adapt to the sheer volume of digital content.
“There’s just too much input stream,” Israetel said.

Tyrus questioned whether society may eventually push back against continuous digital immersion.

“Do you think it’s gonna kick back?” he asked, wondering if people might eventually return to more traditional, less technology-dominated ways of living.
Israetel suggested the opposite may happen first — even deeper submersion. He predicted that artificial intelligence assistants could soon handle most digital interactions, eliminating the need to scroll or click.

Bron Breakker defeats Seth Rollins with a spear at WWE Backlash 2026
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Michael Cole might have said it best when the bell rang to end the opening match at Backlash: “Bron Breakker has arrived.”
Breakker defeated Seth Rollins a brutal fight between a rising star and a multi-time champion. Breakker needed to out-wrestle and out-maneuver Rollins throughout the match to gain a split-second advantage over him.

It helped that he had Paul Heyman in his corner, and thus, the rest of The Vision. Rollins took his eyes off Breakker for a few moments to hit Austin Theory with a chair and a Stomp and chase Logan Paul out of the ring area. As Rollins got back into the ring, Breakker hit him with a spear.
While Rollins wasn’t out of it completely, he went up to the middle rope for an Avalanche Stomp. But Breakker hit Rollins with a spear as “The Visionary” came off the rope. He then setup a groggy Rollins in the middle of the ring, bounced off the ropes to gain momentum and nailed Rollins with a torpedo spear.

Breakker picked up the win and the biggest victory since he got to the WWE main roster. Previously, Breakker and Rollins squared off when the former was still in NXT.
It was Breakker’s first match since he appeared in the Royal Rumble back in January. He made his dynamite return at WrestleMania 42, costing Rollins a victory against Gunther.

Health advocates warn government’s claims of baby formula safety contradict data | US news
The Trump administration announced earlier this month that hundreds of baby formula samples it tested for toxic chemicals “meet a high safety standard”, but public health advocates warn this claim contradicts data showing a majority were contaminated with dangerous substances, such as Pfas or phthalates.
Independent scientists who reviewed the results say the data gaps and the contamination raise concerns, though they added the testing shows some bright spots, and praised the US Food and Drug Administration for expanding the testing program, then making the results public.
Top FDA officials’ statements also appear to, in part, contradict a 2014 FDA paper that detailed how small amounts of the chemicals found in the current testing likely present a serious risk for newborns who are small, still developing and have a greater food to body weight ratio than adults.
In a statement announcing the results, Department of Health and Human Services secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, said: “We tested more infant formula than ever before, and the results are clear: most products meet a high safety standard – but even small exposures matter for newborns.
“We will hold manufacturers accountable, and give parents honest, transparent data they can trust. Protecting our children’s health is non-negotiable,” Kennedy added. The release did not detail the next steps.
Under Kennedy, the FDA launched Operation Stork Speed, which tested 300 baby formula samples for Pfas, phthalates, lead, pesticides, mercury and other dangerous substances that have been found with some regularity in baby formula.
Pfas and phthalates, among the most toxic manmade chemicals, were among the most widespread detections. At least half contained Pfos, one of the most dangerous Pfas compounds for which the federal government previously found no level of exposure in drinking water is safe.
About half of the samples also contained some phthalates, a plasticizer, and some showed relatively low levels of lead. Several samples also had chlorpyrifos, a highly toxic pesticide the EPA tried to ban in 2021. Industry mounted a successful legal challenge to undo the decision.
Maricel Maffini, an independent consultant who does regulatory work aimed at pressuring the FDA to strengthen consumer protections, said she is “encouraged that [the FDA] is moving to test for other things”, but added she was alarmed by the prevalence of endocrine disrupting chemicals, such as phthalates and Pfas.
These especially present a risk because even at low doses they can impact children’s hormones at a key stage of development, causing developmental, reproductive, neurological and other health harms immediately, or later in life.
“There is no really safe amount of endocrine disruptors,” Maffini said. “It seems the overarching argument is that in low amounts they don’t do anything, or are not too risky, but that goes against everything we know about how these chemicals impact the body, and what they can do.”
Significant gaps in the FDA test data also exist – the product names are not listed, so it is unclear which are free from the chemicals. Meanwhile, the agency did not say if a sample contained more than one contaminant. Though little research on exposures to multiple chemicals exists, it is generally thought to have an additive or synergistic effect that makes them even more dangerous.
The FDA wrote that 95% of Pfos levels were below 2.9 parts per trillion (ppt). Drinking water limits are set for four ppt, though those may not be protective of an infant drinking formula, public health advocates say. A wide range of studies have also linked low levels of exposure to Pfas in utero or in infanthood to decreased immunity.
The FDA’s top line of its Pfas results notes that it tested for 30 Pfas compounds, and “most Pfas compounds (25 of 30) were not found in any samples”. But a majority of samples still contained some Pfas, and most at levels that concerned independent experts.
Much of the Pfas were found in dry formulas, which have to be mixed with water that potentially also contains Pfas, and would make the product more toxic, noted Tasha Stoiber, a scientist with the Environmental Working Group non-profit.
“We do know very low levels of exposure are associated with health effects, and … newborns are in this critical stage of development,” Stoiber said. The kind of short-chain Pfas that are used throughout the food system were found in the formulas, Toiber added.
“Thinking about this from a high level – when there is widespread use of Pfas, this is the result,” she said.
The likely source of the phthalates, which were found in 46% of samples, is plastic food packaging or processing equipment. The chemicals give plastic elasticity, but readily shed into food and drinks. Despite the risks, the FDA has not set any enforceable limit on phthalates, established a safe level of daily intake, and has put in place few other guidelines around it.
Marty Makary, the FDA commissioner, called the results “encouraging”.
“You can judge a society by how it treats its most vulnerable members,” Makary said. “That’s why we’re doing everything in our power to make sure our babies and infants have safe, high quality formula options that are backed by a resilient supply chain.”
Lead and other metal contamination has long been a problem in baby formulas, and the levels in the most recent tests are comparatively lower than they have been in the past, said Tom Neltner, director of the Unleaded Kids non-profit. That indicates public and political pressure on industry to act is working, he said, but added that the FDA’s snapshot of formulas is not enough to ensure safety.
“We need ongoing transparency,” Neltner said.
Industry regularly tests its formulas, but the FDA claims it largely does not have the authority to view them, which Neltner said is untrue. New legislation introduced in California and Vermont would require formula producers to share their test results with the public. Neltner praised the administration’s expanded testing, and said the FDA’s next step is to set an action level on lead, which does not yet exist.
“The next step can’t be to declare it safe, because there is no assurance that companies will keep it at these levels,” Neltner said.

Identity fraud losses hit $27.3 billion as data breach risks linger
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Identity fraud is rising in the United States, but the timing does not always line up with the breach behind it. Consumers lost $27.3 billion to traditional identity fraud in 2025, according to Javelin Strategy & Research’s 2026 Identity Fraud Study. That followed a sharp 19% jump in 2024, when losses reached $27.2 billion.
FTC identity theft reports also climbed in 2025. Reports through the first nine months of the year had already topped the full-year total for 2024. The FTC received more than 1.1 million identity theft reports in 2024, according to the agency’s Consumer Sentinel data.
The problem is that breach notices are becoming a regular part of life, even though the risks can last long after the notice arrives. The Identity Theft Resource Center logged a record 3,322 U.S. data compromises in 2025. In a separate consumer survey, the ITRC found that 80% of consumers received at least one breach notice in the previous 12 months. Among those consumers, 88% experienced at least one negative consequence afterward, including account takeover attempts.

5 MYTHS ABOUT IDENTITY THEFT THAT PUT YOUR DATA AT RISK
Data from old breaches can resurface months or even years later, giving criminals new ways to target consumers. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)
Why old breach data can turn into new fraud
Stolen identity records often take time to turn into fraud. After a major breach, the data can move through criminal markets in stages. It may be sold to brokers, combined with information from earlier leaks and resold to fraud rings that build more complete identity profiles.
That means a Social Security number stolen in 2024 may not be used to open a fraudulent credit line or file a fake tax return until 2026 or later. By then, the free credit monitoring offered after the breach may have expired. The breach itself may also be long gone from the headlines.
Major breaches that could fuel future identity fraud
UnitedHealth confirmed in January 2025 that about 190 million people were affected by the Change Healthcare breach. The incident exposed personal and health information, making it the largest known healthcare data breach in U.S. history. Affected consumers were offered two years of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection. The enrollment deadline was Aug. 26, 2025.
National Public Data, a background-check broker, was tied to a massive breach in 2024. Up to 2.9 billion records were reportedly exposed, though not all were unique or verified. The exposed information reportedly included Social Security numbers, addresses and relatives’ information.
AT&T disclosed in July 2024 that hackers stole call and text records tied to about 109 million customer accounts. The stolen data included details about calls and texts, such as the numbers contacted and the timing of those communications, but not the content of the calls or messages. The incident involved data stored on a third-party cloud platform and was part of a wider Snowflake-linked campaign that also affected other companies.
HOSPICE FRAUD USES STOLEN IDENTITIES FOR FAKE PATIENTS
Stolen personal information can be combined with other leaked records to create more complete identity profiles. (Kury “CyberGuy” Knutsson)
What thieves do with stolen identity data
Stolen identity data can feed several types of fraud. Some of these scams take months or years to show up on a credit report, tax filing or insurance record.
Synthetic identity fraud
Criminals combine a real Social Security number with a fake name and date of birth. They use that profile to open new credit lines, build trust and drain the accounts later.
Tax refund fraud
Thieves use stolen Social Security numbers to file fake tax returns in someone else’s name. Victims often find out only when their real return gets rejected.
Medical identity theft
Criminals use stolen personal or health insurance information to submit insurance claims for care the victim never received. Some victims do not notice until they get a bill, hit an insurance limit or see a collections notice.
New-account fraud
Thieves open credit cards, auto loans or utility accounts using stolen identities. Victims may discover it only after checking their credit report.
Account takeover
Criminals use stolen usernames and passwords to break into your existing email, shopping, banking or financial accounts. They often use automated tools to test that same login information across multiple websites.
WHY A CREDIT FREEZE ISN’T THE END OF IDENTITY THEFT
Ongoing monitoring can help catch suspicious activity after free breach protection ends. (Kury “CyberGuy” Knutsson)
Why one-time protection isn’t enough
After a breach, you are often told to freeze your credit, accept the free monitoring offer and watch your statements. Each step can help, but each one has limits. Free credit monitoring offered after a breach usually lasts one or two years. That can expire around the time stolen data starts to show up in new fraud attempts.
A credit freeze can block new accounts from being opened in your name. However, it will not stop every type of fraud. It does not prevent someone from filing a fake tax return with your Social Security number. It also does not stop fraudulent medical bills or takeover attempts on your existing accounts.
One-time dark web scans have limits, too. They show where your data appears at one point in time. They don’t tell you where it may show up next. Once a Social Security number is in criminal markets, it can keep circulating.
Steps to protect yourself after a breach
If your information was exposed in a breach, these steps can help you lower your risk and catch suspicious activity sooner.
1) Freeze your credit
A credit freeze can help stop criminals from opening new credit cards, loans or other accounts in your name. You need to place a freeze with each of the three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. You can temporarily lift the freeze when you need to apply for credit.
2) Change reused passwords
If you used the same password on more than one account, change it right away. Criminals often test stolen usernames and passwords across many websites. A password manager can help you create strong, unique passwords for every account.
3) Turn on multifactor authentication
4) Watch your financial and medical accounts
Review bank statements, credit card charges, insurance claims and explanation of benefits statements. Look for accounts, charges, claims or services you do not recognize. Medical identity theft can be easy to miss until a bill or collections notice arrives.
5) Check your credit reports
Review your credit reports for new accounts or hard inquiries you do not recognize. You can check your reports for free at AnnualCreditReport.com. If you spot something suspicious, report it quickly and follow the dispute process with the credit bureau.
What to do after free monitoring expires
Paid identity theft protection services monitor your personal data on an ongoing basis. The goal is to shorten the time between when stolen data gets used and when you notice something is wrong.
Look for a service that monitors all three major credit bureaus, scans the dark web and alerts you to suspicious changes tied to your identity. Some services also monitor data broker sites, identity verification activity, home title records and financial accounts.
Three-bureau credit alerts can help catch new-account fraud. Dark web and data broker monitoring can help spot repackaged records. Account-change alerts can help flag takeover attempts. No service can undo the original breach, but ongoing monitoring can give you a better chance of catching suspicious activity early.
See my tips and best picks on Best Identity Theft Protection at CyberGuy.com.
Kurt’s key takeaways
A breach notice can feel like yesterday’s problem once the headlines fade and the free monitoring runs out. But stolen personal data does not expire. Criminals can hold onto it, mix it with other leaked records and use it long after you have stopped thinking about the original breach. That is why identity protection needs to last longer than the breach notice. Freezing your credit, using strong passwords, turning on multifactor authentication and watching your accounts all help. But identity fraud is often a long game. The sooner you spot suspicious activity, the faster you can act before the damage spreads.
Should companies have to provide identity protection for as long as stolen data can be used against you? Let us know by writing to us at Cyberguy.com.

‘Everyone was in tears’: the tenants given eviction notices just before ban in England | Housing
It was 2pm on 30 April when Carl Kansinde Middleton received a “no fault” eviction from his landlord in Brighton – just 10 hours before section 21 notices were officially banned under the Renters’ Right Act.
“As we were getting closer, I really thought I was safe,” he said. “It just never occurred to me that it would just come right on the last day – I truly felt blindsided.
“I lost my job in November and it’s been a struggle for me financially as I have no support system. I was just about treading water but this has swept me under. I haven’t found a place yet. Honestly I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
Middleton, 27, is one of hundreds of people across England who received a no-fault eviction in the weeks, days and even hours before the practice was banned under legislation designed to protect the rights of tenants.
Solicitors reported being inundated with requests to serve last-minute eviction notices before 1 May, and having to get them hand-delivered to tenants when there was not enough time to post them.
Middleton said his notice came via email, text message and post, making it impossible to miss. He said he had always had a good relationship with his landlord, and paid the first year of his rent upfront when he moved into the studio flat two and half years ago.
“If there was anything more I could have done to stop this, I don’t know what it was,” he said. “I have no idea where I’m going to live, everything else of a similar size in this area is out of my price range now.
“The Renters’ Rights Act was near perfect but it should have been implemented in October when it became law – these evictions are a very unfortunate but foreseen consequence.”
Three days earlier section 21 eviction notices were issued to a whole building of tenants in Moseley, south Birmingham, when the property was sold to a new owner who claimed they needed to leave for a refurbishment.
The 12 tenants, a range of couples and individuals including a disabled person with a daily carer, said the eviction notices came out of the blue and left them all stunned.
“We were all devastated. Everyone was in tears,” said Sharonjit Sutton, a self-employed graphic designer who lives in the building. “Everyone was just in shock and couldn’t believe it was happening. We still can’t believe it. None of us have started packing because we can’t imagine leaving.”
Jess Thiari, 41, has lived in the building for seven years with her dog, Pip, and has recently been signed off work because of a pulmonary embolism. She said the eviction was “like a blow to the stomach”.
“It was just really difficult because if it was in a few more days this wouldn’t have happened,” she said. “People have lived here for 10, 20 years and we’re good tenants, nobody is behind on rent. They just did it because they could.”
The building was sold by an individual landlord to a property development company linked to a provider of supported and temporary accommodation for homeless people. The tenants said they worried the new laws had created fear among smaller landlords, pushing them to sell up.
All the tenants are now looking for other properties in the same area, and question whether there is enough to go around. “We went to a flat viewing and there was someone else viewing at the same time who had also been given a section 21 eviction. It’s going to be very competitive,” Sutton said.
Like many tenants, they have been advised to resist the eviction notice for as long as possible, forcing the issue into court and giving them more time to find somewhere else. “But the emotional toll of that will be quite hard to take,” Sutton said.
In Barnet, north London, 68-year-old Izzi, who asked for her surname not to be published, said her section 21 eviction notice on 27 April came after she had recently been diagnosed with a benign brain tumour that was beginning to cause her health issues.
“Having rented the same place for 22 years, I am appalled. I was just astonished and shocked when it came through,” she said. “I think I’m looking at homelessness, and at my age that feels like a death sentence.”
She said she was looking for a new home, but was finding most places unaffordable because housing benefit had been frozen and due to her age she wanted somewhere on the ground floor.
“I’m looking at not being able to afford most of the same or similar accommodation. And because I’m 68, I really don’t want to move again. I can’t face moving twice, especially if I end up in some way incapacitated,” she said. “The council has very few single occupancy houses, so I think I could be waiting a long time for that.”
Sara*, 31, a self-employed hairdresser from Otley in Leeds, has lived in her home for 13 years. In February, she was served a section 21 notice by her landlord with no warning.
“Honestly, it’s turned our lives upside down,” she said. She is a single parent to two children with diagnosed autism and ADHD, aged eight and three, and said the impact had been “overwhelming”.
“My children rely on routine and familiarity to feel safe, and this has shaken that,” she said. “The uncertainty is already affecting their wellbeing and behaviour.”
Despite an “immaculate” rental record, finding somewhere new has proven impossible and she has been told the council would not help until she and her children were actually homeless. “I’ve literally got to wait until the bailiffs come to the property to remove me, otherwise they say I’m making myself homeless. That’s terrifying. It feels like I’m being forced to wait for everything to fall apart before anyone will help,” she said.
Sara may have to move into temporary accommodation, far from her children’s schools and support networks. “The thought of potentially being placed in a hostel, miles away from everything my children depend on, is unbearable,” she said.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said: “Banning no-fault evictions is the biggest change to renting in a generation and will free families from the misery it has created. We brought in this ban as swiftly as possible while giving the sector enough time to prepare for these seismic changes.”

Madison Beer put Justin Herbert in new steamy music video, Xandra Pohl threw out first pitch & grilling season
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. For anyone who has little ones and is responsible for making sure they have a gift for your better half, I hope you were on top of that and are scrambling to find something this morning. I’ve been there before.
I don’t remember ever forgetting entirely or running out on the morning of Mother’s Day to grab something from the kids, but it has snuck up on me before and I have done some last minute brainstorming for a gift idea. Not this year. I was all over it.
We were out and my wife pointed something out that she wouldn’t mind having for Christmas. I took a picture, got with the older two, and executed a flawless gameplan. I had the gift by Friday morning and Mother’s Day taken care of without having to grab a gift card or an Edible Arrangement or something on Saturday.
Spencer Jones was dominated by Front Row Amy during his MLB debut
It’s happened before and it will happen again as long as legendary Milwaukee Brewers fan Front Row Amy is still able to show up to the ballpark for home games. A prospect’s Major League Baseball debut will be dominated by her.
On Friday, it was New York Yankees prospect Spencer Jones who had his debut dominated by the Brewers biggest fan. As my dad said in the family group chat, “Welcome to the bigs.”
And as one of my brothers pointed out, Jones is “Definitely not in Double A anymore.”
No, he’s not in Double A anymore and looking back, Jones didn’t stand a chance in his big league debut. Front Row Amy was ready for the bright lights of the Yankees prospect and so was “some dildo throwing 104,” as my brother so eloquently put it about the pitching that greeted the 6-foot-7 outfielder.
That’s right, the respect for the game is generational in our family. He was 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts on Friday night. He went hitless again on Saturday and added two more strikeouts to his total.

Madison Beer put Justin Herbert in one of her music videos
Haters of love might see Justin Herbert’s appearance in his girlfriend Madison Beer’s “lovergirl” music video as part of a humiliation ritual. They might say that he should be focusing on preparing for the upcoming season and getting the Los Angeles Chargers over the hump.
You could even hear some saying he should be in the weight room and not prancing around playing patty-cake with his girlfriend. You won’t hear that out of me.
Musical guest Madison Beer performs on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday, Jan. 13, 2026. (Todd Owyoung/NBC)
Herbert’s not going through the motions and pretending to be a relationship with a pop singer like some aging tight end. He isn’t just in a Madison Beer music video, he’s continuing to give the NFL a real relationship to root for. How can you not support that?
Plus, it’s not like Beer isn’t known for her own MVP-worthy performances. She is, and when you’re striving for greatness, you surround yourself with greatness.
Chargers fans have nothing to worry about. The fact that Herbert is taking time during the offseason to appear in a music video is a good thing. It shows he’s not worried about continuously falling short or the fact that the franchise appears to be cursed.
You can’t perform with the weight of an entire franchise on your shoulders. You can if you’re running around in a music video with your girlfriend without a care in the world.

College Baseball
– Jim T in San Diego writes:
By this time of the season, I’ve usually been to a half-dozen or more college baseball games. This year the year got away from me. But with some college buddies in town visiting, I managed to sneak in a cross-town double-header.
First stop: Point Loma Nazarene University. The parking lot sits right above the Pacific, with the ballfield another 50 feet up the bluffs.
There is almost zero foul territory at Carroll B. Land Stadium – several times, there were wild pitches or passed balls with a runner on third – not once did the runner even pretend to be headed home. With the backstop maybe 12 feet behind home plate, the catcher just turns and waits for the rebound. (Although I do hate getting stuck in the Uecker seats all the way back in the fifth (and final) row …)
Anyway, the Sea Lions had already clinched the PacWest season tite and top seeding in the conference playoffs. I had to leave in the top of the fifth, with PLNU leading 9-4, and they ended up winning by that score – and, I saw later, also won the nightcap.
Across town at San Diego State, the Aztecs were playing Nevada for the Mountain West regular season title. They’d won Friday night to pull out of a tie with the Wolfpack. By coming back to win Saturday night, the Aztecs clinched the title – among their final conference titles in the Mountain West as they join the revamped Pac-12 this summer.
So now four of our local college baseball teams are off to their conference playoffs, with UCSD in third place in the Big West, and Cal State San Marcos with the #2 seed in the CCAA Conference.. (USD finished a distant 8th in the WCC,)

Hi SeanJo. Love your stuff.
A plug for Lacrosse (lax). Great game: fast, high scoring, contact akin to hockey. Open field play like soccer. Typical score might be 15-12. Lots of the goals are assisted – some great passing. Some of the highlights will fit nicely on OK. One recently had a behind the back assist resulting in a behind the back shot and score. Both guys were on the move and being guarded. Bang-bang stuff.
I predict that you and your readers will get hooked in for the start of next season (in early spring). The broader market is largely missing this game. It’s has grown from a kind of elite northeastern game 20 years ago to countrywide now. Not just colleges, but High schools and youth clubs in all directions.
Late season now, conference tournaments just ending. But prime time to show out.
Just now time for the big dance. NCAA tournament starts (selection Sunday today) this week, with final four at end of May. Championship game traditionally mid-day. None of this 9pm start crap.
NC game on Memorial Day, with Semis on Saturday before.
Early Memorial Day Weekend Grilling
– Gen X Warren M writes:
Hey SeanJo,
My wife got some fresh Florida corn on the cob (a lot was destroyed by the freeze in early February, so prices are high), so we made up some Mexican street corn and grilled some cheeseburgers as an early Memorial Day weekend cookout.
Great work on the Big Foot stories and Sunday Screencaps!
You are an idiot!!
