Innovation

You know who this is?...well, if you are NOT a follower of the WBNA, probably not...she was voted one of the top 15 of all time players in the pro league...nearing the end of her career, she has been dabbling in the coaching field in the off season...

Becky Hammon...CSU grad...and on a number of the pro teams in the league...well...she has been a volunteer coach for...get this...the men's league...the San Antonio Spurs...what?...just seems like she has impressed the innovational head coach there....the one and only Gregg Popovich...widely acclaimed as the best in the biz...at least right now...and it's always about now, right?...

Guess what?...Pop hired her as part of his staff...the first gal ever in a paid spot in the NBA...now this is way cool...and highly deserved....

Which begs the question..."Do you have to play in the league to coach in it?"...many of the best haven't, guy or gal...it's all about smarts...and how you pick up on the coaching...of any sport...

Back in my time...there was a gal coaching the guys at a local high school...her daddy was the legendary Ralph Miller...coach of the OSU Beavers...she coached the frosh...and did a hell of a job...

This past week I met up with some of my old players...guys that I coached 6 years...what?...started when I was a Jr High guy, and then moved up to the high school...and had these blokes the entire time...imagine, they still will talk to me...man, we had loads of stories...each of us...so fun...

I was asked what sport I liked coaching the most...I did football, basketball, baseball, and gal's softball...my answer surprised them...it was football, cuz I knew the least about it...and learned so much in the process...the problem...was that the game was muddled in old time stuff...it beckoned a speed up to it...and now...well, it's just that...innovation...it's why I like the Orygun Ducks so much...

My buddy Snooki, had a long standing offer to take me to a Duck game this season...not as easy as it sounds...flying back up there...him being stuck with me staying there, yet again...so on...you know, old guys partying...well...it's a happening...the Stanford game...Nov 1...so looking forward to it...

An advantage that lots of you have over me...the ability to wash you car or rig in your driveway...I gots none...so there is the place that I will run them through...and lo and behold, this detail place was offering a half off price...and that's what's happening today...keep those old rigs spotless...

The assassination in Afghanistan is one that can't be overlooked...to kill a 2 Star General is totally unacceptable...and unprecedented...we can never look vulnerable...or more than that...BE VULNERABLE...sweeping changes need to be made...start with getting our arse out of that area...

Gulp, good thing I wasn't in Vegas...as my wallet would have been a tad bit lighter...the Pads and Hahn got beat 3-1...a 3 run tater did 'em in...we did get 10 hits, but spread apart...dang...

The PGA starts up tomorrow in the am...and the latest rumor is that Tiger is playing...didn't he just walk off the course in the last T?...remarkable recovery...I digress...watch the Aussie, Marc Leishman...just a hunch...

 Hump day...

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...
