Protests In Sao Paulo Day Of Brasil 2014 Start

((HT: CNN))

Police are setting up a 5km perimeter around the football stadium in Sao Paulo, Brasil- which translates into a little over 3 miles before the World Cup opener between Brazil and Croatia.

But protesters are working their way around in Sao Paulo and at the airport in Rio de Janeiro (with the airport workers themselves) setting the stage for, what could be, a very nasty month.

This morning police with tear gas canisters met protesters in frint of CNN's Shasta Darlington

Rodman and a handful of NBA'ers are over in North Korea playing some exhibitions to further his idea of basketball diplomacy...

But Cuomo went there...

Asking Rodman about North Korean policy- which is like asking the HQ about nuclear physics- and Rodman went off to the googleplexed degree on live television...

Just watch his fellow players look at Dennis as he explodes...


Safe to say, the HQ thinks they all want to go home...

But, to continue the riff, Wolf Blitzer actually interviewed NBA Commissioner David Stern- which is a tremendous follow-up notion...

"Dennis will be Dennis, but I think there is a lot at stake here in terms of a ... a very dangerous country..."

There's that...

And The Public Damage Control Of Steak Shapiro Begins...

((HT: CNN))

Steak Shapiro spent some time with Brooke Baldwin to go through Stage One of the reinvention of his career after he, Nick Cellini, and Chris Dimino put gasoline on a dumpster fire...

Okay, dear viewer... what do you think...???
Is it a positive step forward or is it the first step of spin doctoring the remainder of a career...???
