No Call

One of my many corrections in my coaching career, was my view on officiating...I noticed this the most when I did radio commentary for high school hoop games...when I had no vested interest in a team or game, the refs were better than I imagined...it's true...now...that doesn't mean that they were good...some were...some were not...

OK...as I am watching the Cowboys/Lions game yesterday...it's one of those who I could care less who wins...in fact, I may lean against Detroit...cuz their brutality gets the pass by the league way too often...anyway...the Lions are nursing a lead...and marching down the field to add to a 3 point margin...get a crucial call for pass interference...obvious hold and face guard...Dallas goes berserk!...knowing the implications of the call...and the impending doom...in fact, out in the middle of the field joining in on the chaos is none other than the helmetless WR Bryant of the Boys...and...somehow...the refs pulled their flag...

Like REVERSED the call...what?...why?...the retired official on the broadcast is aghast...and just as
quickly as it was called, it was not...something very smelly was going on...the Lions drive was stalled...and Dallas got the ball...marched down the field for the winning TD, helped by at least one very questionable PASS INTERFERENCE calls...and the Cowboys were in celebration mode...

I have told you over and over...never, ever BET on the NFL...things like this just don't happen...not only should there have been the PI penalty, but a 15 yarder on Bryant for unsportsmanlike...really, regardless of the PI, the Bryant flag should have been called...travesty...and the league suffers for an embarrassing situation...

BTW, this referee is NOT without past questionable calls...hmmm...

Anyhoo...I am off to the links...eegads, it's supposed to be 80* inland...like out at El Cajon...playing today at Steele Canyon...

Did you watch the opening episode of Downton Abbey...all of the characters had some new input...it was a cool one...if you have not got into this...start at the very beginning...you will thank me later...

Celebrity Apprentice...started last eve, too...did NOT see it...when do the likes of Brandy Glanville qualify?...ha ha...and the repulsive Kate Gosselin...

Time for some grub and get ready...

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...
