Flawball

One of the most ridiculous things that the NFL teams do is put the players through this "big deal"...the combines...where they have all these youngsters do a series of measurements...times for this and that...how much they can lift...you know, stuff...so they can put it on their computers, notice I didn't say clipboards, and they rank the blokes...more info, as they have a body of work that these guys went through in college...to me?...waste of time and money...I'd have them scouted and would have talked to their coaches...then bring them in and interview 'em...that's all I'd need...to me...the most important thing, is the locker room...how they all get along...you know who probably had the worst of all time at these combines?...some gangly QB out of Michigan...Tom Brady...how'd he turn out?...

Had the good fortune to play a round yesterday with another guy named Pete...just so happened he was a former high school hoop coach from this area in SD...and enjoyed listening to his exploits...what he ran and all...like so many people I run into on the golf courses...they are better at talking than listening...still...I enjoyed it immensely....of course it helped that I played well, too...which made my day a whole lot better...

American Idol...the 2nd set of gals performed last eve...this group was not as good as last week's...I would say two of them were in the upper tier...still, that's 5 gals...I have yet to hear a guy even close to any of them...so, I bet one of these guys tonight can sing and play the geeeetar....that usually wins this thing...by the way, the gal from West Linn, Oregon was dang good...and pretty sharp looking, to boot...STILL...the gal judges are annoying and take away from the show...

Now you know I am a Clipper fan...and I have a soft spot in my heart for the PDX Blazers...and you know that when it comes to crunch time that Aldridge folds like a cheap suit...BUT...I really like the way that the Nuggets play the game...they run at all chances...so much different than most any team out there...and that includes college...and one more thing...Indiana Hoosiers come close to that...so...watch for them in the Big Dance...

Don't get me wrong...but I am luke warm about this Pope thing...with all the problems with that church...and all the fallacies that they laid on us forever...you know what I mean...like they were the experts of marriage, and yet never married themselves...and threw at us the concept of celibacy...naw, I am going to leave it all alone...hey, you can believe what you want spiritually...so can I...

Pads...double dose of losses...turrible day on the mound...Stults, De Los Santos, Mikolas, Weber and Layne all got bombed...we did a split squad of misery...one high light?...C Hundley hit the ball...

PGA...the blokes are in Miami...most of the big names are there...so...it's a good one...expect to see the likes of Tiger play well...you're on the tee, tuck your shirt in, and play well...

Have a splendid Thursday...

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...
