(0:00) Show Open: 2020 Killed an Avenger

"Black Panther" Star Chadwick Boseman Died on Friday

CHADWICK BOSEMAN, a.k.a. "Black Panther", died of complications from colon cancer on Friday.  He was only 43.  He was diagnosed four years ago, but never revealed it publicly.  That means that he was fighting cancer while filming "Black Panther" and the last two "Avengers" movies.

The timing of Chadwick's death was also coincidental.  He died on Major League Baseball's "Jackie Robinson Day," and his first starring role was playing Jackie in the 2013 movie "42".

Jackie Robinson Day was supposed to be April 15th, but it was previously rescheduled because COVID-19 delayed the start of the baseball season.  Chadwick posted a video about Jackie Robinson Day back in April . . . and some fans were concerned because he looked a lot thinner than he has in the past.

And Friday was also the birthday of legendary comic book artist Jack Kirby, who was the first person to draw Black Panther.  Kirby died in 1994, but Friday would've been his 103rd birthday

Chadwick may have hinted at his diagnosis in 2017, when an interviewer said "you've been through the wringer," and he responded, quote, "Oh, you don't even know.  You have no idea.  One day, I'll live to tell the story."

But it's also got a hole in the bottom, where you insert one of Tenga's love toys that resemble lady parts . . . so in between your sets, you can get-it-on with your dumbbells.

They're selling them for $520 EACH . . . and if you really want one, they'll ship it to you from Japan. (Sora News 24)

Is Homework Pointless When Kids Have Google?

A plan to release 750 million genetically modified mosquitoes in the Florida Keys got approved this week.  They're engineered to produce offspring that die before they hatch.  They're hoping it'll slow the spread of diseases like Zika.

We may have passed peak loneliness in the pandemic.  Studies show we really felt it after the lockdowns hit.  But rules have been relaxed, and we've found things like Zoom to help us connect.  So now loneliness is trending down.

A study in the Czech Republic found we can instinctively tell if a snake is venomous or not.  Humans have been dealing with them so long, we've gotten pretty good at it.

In Earth news, experts now say there's no stopping Greenland's ice sheet from melting away.  Even if global warming stopped today, there's no saving it.  Also, researchers at NC State say climate change could eventually affect hops, and change the way beer tastes.

Is homework pointless when kids can just google the answers?  A study at Rutgers found they're less likely to retain information when they do it that way.  So they end up with good grades on homework, but bad grade on tests.  In 2008, only 14% of students got significantly lower grades on tests than they got on homework.  Today, it's 55%.

(0:00) Show Open: Is College Football Canceled?

Two of the "Big Five" Conferences Have Postponed Their Seasons

Yesterday, two of the "Big Five" college football conferences announced that they were postponing their seasons . . . and that's a HUGE blow to the NCAA.

The Big Ten voted to postpone all fall sports seasons, including football, with the hopes of playing in the spring.  The Big Ten includes schools like Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Purdue.

Later, the Pac-12 followed suit . . . also nixing sports through the end of the year.  The Pac-12 schools include:  UCLA, USC, Oregon, Washington, Washington State, Arizona, Arizona State, and Stanford. As for the other conferences, the ACC and SEC say their fall football plans remain unchanged . . . and the Big 12 is leaning toward playing this fall.

Outside of the Big Five, the Mid-American Conference and the Mountain West conference are also abandoning fall sports.

So, does this mean college football in 2020 is doomed?  Not quite.

It's possible for the remaining Big Five conferences to continue . . . the SEC previously switched to an all-conference schedule, and the ACC and Big 12 plan on playing a conference-only-plus-one schedule. But with the Big Ten and Pac-12 out . . . it's becoming increasingly difficult for the other conferences to justify playing.

Obviously, shutting down college sports isn't ideal on a lot of fronts . . . but we're STILL in the middle of a once-in-a-century pandemic, and the health ramifications of the virus are still being studied. On the flip-side, others believe that America "needs" college sports right now, and they want to see it happen, regardless of the fallout.

Legendary college coach Lou Holtz is one of them.  He compared the coronavirus to D-Day . . . quote, "When they stormed Normandy, they knew there were going to be casualties . . . there were going to be risks."  (Here's video.)

But even if the NCAA shuts everything down this fall . . . then there are the complications of asking student-athletes to play TWO seasons in 2021, or to have them accept a lost season altogether.

Five Tips for Hosting a Party During the Pandemic

It's still not a great idea to have get-togethers and parties yet due to the pandemic . . . but if you're determined to throw one anyway, here are five tips for how to do it as safely as possible.

Hold it outdoors.  There's been a lot of evidence that suggests the virus is more contagious when we're packed indoors.  So if you're going to have people over, set it up outside in the backyard. 

Don't do a buffet.  It's going to take a little more work on your part, but single-serving meals are better than buffet-style food.  Like sandwiches and individual bags of chips, instead of chips and dip in a communal bowl. 

Serve individual drinks as well.  Like cans of soda, beer, and bottled water, versus a big vat of punch.  It's also less likely that people will mix up their drinks if they're not all in cups that look the same. 

Keep the desserts simple.  Cookies and cupcakes work better than a big cake. 

Have extra PPE on hand.  Have plenty of hand sanitizer set out, along with some extra disposable face masks if anyone needs one.(Martha Stewart)

(47:05) Doctors Call For Arizona Department Of Health Services Director's Resignation

Nearly 200 Arizona physicians are calling on the director of Arizona’s Department of Health Services to resign. The doctors sent a petition to the department Wednesday.

The letter says Dr. Cara Christ failed to take meaningful actions to slow the spread of COVID-19. The doctors say medical evidence for the effectiveness of masks and social distancing measures should have been communicated to Arizonans sooner in the pandemic.

“These are things that should have been clearly and strongly conveyed to the public without any gray zone so that the public can know how to act," said Dr. Dionne Mills, who helped organize the petition.

Mills said doctors involved have repeatedly asked Christ to address concerns.

“Most of the people in our group are actually treating COVID patients, which she is not," Mills said. 

The group, known as Physicians for Science, Equity and Advocacy, is also calling for enforcement of a statewide mask mandate, closure of dine-in restaurants, and expanded testing and contact tracing.
