Apathy or

Economy?...there are more and more empty seats at all hoop games...why is this?...is it the product isn't that good, or is it that the price of the tix are just too much for this economy?...is that you, Uecker?...

The pro sport cost of players has escalated so much that it has become a luxury to attend the games...hoops in particular...it seems like the businesses are the ones that can afford the seats...and then, declare 'em on their taxes...

Witness the number of the empty ones...but...what about the same for collegiate basketball?...I watched 4 games yesterday...and not only were their vast amount of 'em, but many student spots were not filled...geez, at USD, there weren't ANY students in the gym...outside of the cheerleaders....really...in fact, they had a battalion of marines in the upper part...not sure how many that was...

Could it be the game is not as good as it once was?...count me in on this...it's hard to find a pattern to the process...most everyone runs a pick and roll game...only...which leads to boring play...

Which is what I say about all of this...it is boring...and there is very little change from team to team...and the lack of defense is legendary...

OK, enough of that...to the NFL playoffs...

Here is my pix...ha ha...don't ever bet on the NFL...never, ever...anyway...
The Saturday games...
Seattle over New Orleans...big...they did the same before...and I see no diff now...throw in it is back in the PNW...where the weather should be nasty...the line is 8...should be 15...
New England over the Colts...methodical whupping...and...probably a boring one...

The Sunday games...
Denver over SD...what?...but it's my home team!...I know...the Bolts got them last month...in Denver...it will take a huge ball control effort...it can happen...but unlikely...
SF over Carolina...very good D by both teams...but QB K will be the diff...and in a 20-17 type...if that much...

See you on Sunday...have a T mañana...

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...
