The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Elon Musk – Musk, finally, out of the government now, his beloved DOGE resulting in zero cuts codified by US law, a stained relationship with Trump – which is actually to his credit – and his spaceships continuing to fail to meet established goals…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters “pretty sure” this could not be happening to a nicer guy.
2. Colorado Rockies – Rockies 0-6 this week, threatening to make mockery of race for worse MLB record ever, which is not easy to do…All-time loss record their’s for the taking, though Rockies will need to find four (4) more losses to finish with lowest winning percentage ever.
3. Pope Shoeless Joe I – New pope, a die-hard White Sox fan, now considering calling special consistory to address beloved White Sox’s problems…Solutions to be considered include making Order of Matins new 7th-inning stretch tradition and putting baptismal fonts at each base. Virgin Mary expected to soon be appointed roving minor league instructor.
4. War! War! War! – Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Israel’s genocide in Gaza continues, with further attacks on refugee camps and private residences, all while starving the area…Russian/Ukrainian War rolling on, too, as President Trump unable to stop war in promised 30 minutes…Imagine that.

In 2004 – Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols is sentenced to 167 consecutive life terms for his role in the bombing. Nichols had been convicted of conspiracy and eight counts of involuntary manslaughter. Nichols had been arrested two days after the 1995 attack and held as a material witness until being charged in May. Nichols, now 70, remains incarcerated at the supermax prison near Florence, Colorado.
In 1979 – The Seattle Supersonics win the NBA title, defeating the Washington Bullets 97-93 in game five to win the series four games to one. It remains the only NBA title for the Supersonics, who now play in Oklahoma City, and was the third and most recent Finals appearance for Washington, to go with the 1978 NBA title. The MVP of the series was Seattle’s Dennis Johnson.
Today – Morgan Wallen establishes a new Billboard Hot 100 record for most songs in one survey. Wallen has 37 songs in this week’s survey, breaking the record of 36 he set in March 2023. Of the 37 songs, six are in the Top 10 and 16 are in the Top 40, and 36 are from his new album I’m The Problem, which is #1 on Billboard’s album chart. The song What I Want, with Tate McRae, is at #1 on both the Hot 100 and Billboard’s country chart, the fourth #1 pop song for Wallen and his ninth #1 country song. It is the first #1 song on both charts for McRae
