With their loss to the Braves yesterday, the Chicago Cubs became the third team in baseball history to lose 10,000 games. The poor Cubs. They can’t even win a losing contest.

The first openly gay player has been drafted by the NFL. If you saw it on ESPN, Michael Sam celebrated by kissing his boyfriend. This is historic. This is the first time anyone has celebrated being drafted by the St. Louis Rams.

Some NFL players actually criticized Michael Sam for kissing his boyfriend after getting drafted. Apparently NFL players aren’t supposed to be in a gay relationship until they’re sent to prison. Then it’s fine.

TMZ released a surveillance video of Beyoncé’s sister, Solange, hitting and kicking her husband Jay-Z in an elevator. It’s embarrassing for Beyoncé, but it’s the best-case scenario for when someone tells you, “Hey, a video just leaked online of your husband and your sister going at it.”

Russia is threatening to punish Moldova after a Russian politician’s plane was briefly held while traveling in the country over the weekend. You can tell they’re pretty serious because this morning Putin sent Solange over there.

It’s a great day for Transylvania. The 14th century Transylvania castle that inspired the book “Dracula” is for sale. Personally, if I wanted a house that belonged to a creepy undead guy, I’d buy the Playboy mansion.

Yesterday in Bakersfield a 4-year-old was playing in his driveway when a dog comes in and attacks him. Then all of a sudden the family cat charges out and chases the dog off. The boy then gets up and gets out of there. A hero cat. Are you serious?

It’s like Oprah caring about clipping coupons. It’s like the Lakers caring about winning. It is like the “Duck Dynasty” guys caring about Broadway musicals.

That hotel in New York fired the employee who leaked the security camera footage of the fight between Solange Knowles and Jay-Z. But don’t feel bad for that person.
