Tease: Coming up in ___________ minutes, how Baylor ended Gonzaga’s perfect season  

Baylor dominated Gonzaga in every aspect of the game to win their first NCAA Men’s Basketball championship. The Bears jumped out to an early lead and out-rebounded, out-shot and out-hustled the Bulldogs for forty minutes to end Gonzaga’s hopes of becoming the first team to finish with a perfect season since 1976. Thrilling all of the cardboard fans in attendance. (Additional Out) Plus, they were gracious enough to put them away early so we could all get some sleep on a Monday.  

Tease: In ___­­­­___ minutes, the US is now leading the world in vaccinations  

The US is now averaging 3.1 million Covid-19 vaccine shots a day, that’s five times faster than the world average. We also reported a single day record of 4.1 million vaccinations on Saturday. As of yesterday, 1 in 3 Americans and over 40% of Adults have been given at least one shot of a Covid vaccine. But we added nearly 80,000 new cases overnight, so health experts caution us to remain vigilant. And continue diving behind furniture anytime someone coughs. (Additional out) IE, hold off on throwing any make-out parties.  

Tease: Coming up at ­­­­­­­­­­­­_____, Cleveland keeps it classy for opening day  

Planes with ‘Cancel Deez Nuts’ and ‘Chief Wahoo Did Your Mom’ banners flew around the stadium during Cleveland’s opening day game. Back in December the club announced they were going to drop the ‘Indians’ name as soon as this season and updated the stadium’s rules to not allow fans to dress as Chief Wahoo during games. And apparently at least one fan who knows someone with a plane is not too happy about it. (Additional out) So, I assume a bunch of middle schoolers pooled their money together and rented a plane.

The heavily anticipated Friends reunion is finally filming. According to the Hollywood reporter the reunion special started filming yesterday.

No word on whether Gunther was included. (Additional out) I’m assuming to discuss all their spinoff shows that tanked.
