The Game Changers

With the recent passing of two of the biggest game changers, in their respective sports, I must comment...George Steinbrenner of his beloved New York Yankees...the first owner who sunk major amounts of money into a Major League team, that set the bar so high...that it still exists today...he was known for a short fuse and tampering with his managers...hiring and firing at a drop of a cap...paid 'em well and expected to win...at all costs...and developed the biggest market into the biggest franchise...you either love 'em or hate 'em...
The legendary San Diego Charger coach, Don Coryell...who has been credited with THE wide open offense of first, the AFL, then brought that to the NFL...a no nonsense guy (football, really?)...really started the spread O and the passing game that changed the stodgy NFL stuff, that was in place forever...
Both of these men were huge game changers for their sports, and will be missed...
Did you watch your home run derby?  A lot of pundits are crying that the big names passed on it...so what?  Big Papi was there and won it...and it was great fun...
Ali and her legion of foos...well, it's not that bad, but I'm thinking she can do better than the lot she got to choose from...and OMG, what a lulu in Frank!
Sorry about this, but if you haven't taken in the Housewives of NJ, you are missing one of the all time screaming, girl fights ever...not that you'd be interested...
The Padres are going to put their ace of their staff (Matt Latos) on a 15 day DL, to insure they don't over pitch him...what?  ...they don't have the luxury of another arm waiting in the wings in PDX to bail them out...duh...
So I'm out at Sycuan doing the golf thing, and there were a gazillion little ones out there...getting ready for a jr. tourney...amazing swings and practice habits...so here is the bite...each had a coach or overbearing parent jawing at them...not sure how I feel about it...reminds me of baseball's little league in a way...
Foooooooorrrrrrrrrre......................

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

A Trial, Indeed

The revenge tour is ramping up ...as we gawk at the unchecked moves by trump ...even SCOTUS , the last leg of justice, is wobbling beneath his demands... this country is in disarray ...I wish I could give you better news... The unsightly attack of one of his Icetapo behemoths, on a lady in New York...taking her to the ground...an example of the uncontrolled behavior of that organization...guess that is what you call the group... simply, out of control, with NO LIMITS of force ...sad...and disgusting... The indictment of his former FBI head, James Comey ...for lying (imagine that from a legendary liar, trump) to Congress...this court case is needed for the country...to show the fallacy of the regime that is running rampant all over the land...it needs to be a BIG STAGE! ... A trial, indeed... In data released by trump's own government...the largest groups of detainees...the Icetapo's achievement of rounding up people...are not the ones with ANY CRIMINAL RECORD , but, 'illeg...
