Happy Gavrilo Princip Day!

Tuesday, June 28th, 2016

I let Bloomsday get past me this year. (I swear, next year, I will do the “Happy Bloomsday” cards.)

I didn’t want to let this one pass without note, though it took the NYT to remind me that today was the day.

As always, we tip our hat in the direction of great and good friend Guffaw, the originator of Gavrilo Princip Day. May he and the rest of my readers enjoy the rest of the holiday.

(As for myself, I plan to celebrate in a non-traditional fashion.)

Obit watch: June 28, 2016.

Bad day for sports.

Pat Summitt, University of Tennessee basketball coach. Knoxville News-Sentinel. ESPN.

She was only 64. Alzheimer’s sucks.

Buddy Ryan, one of the great NFL defensive coaches. ESPN.

Noted without comment:

Ryan later punched offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride on national TV on Jan. 2, 1994, when both were assistant coaches with the Houston Oilers.
