Carson Chargers

Bombshell news...as the combo owners of the Oakland Raiders and the San Diego Chargers have secretly paired up big bucks and bought land in La La land...specifically in Carson...with the intent of building a football stadium that they will share...been in the works for over 9 months...

Here in SD, the owners of the Bolts, have been playing a cat and mouse game with the mayor...suggesting that if the right deal came along, that the club MAY be in...well, in the last couple of months, the dialog cooled...and the ownership seemed almost belligerent...of course, they were...they had an alternative site in their bag...

The NFL must have known these shenanigans all along...and like other pathetic judgments or non-judgments, the league goes on it's merry way...and does whatever it damn well pleases...doesn't surprise me much...there is no stopping it's domination...don't get too attached to your team, kids...

I recall back when we moved down here, I was mesmerized by the faithful following of this football team...rich in tradition of the old AFL success...and just how many crazies had bolts everywhere...but the common man is totally dependent on the affluent...and the owners (the same)...AND...they don't share the same passion...they have their agenda...the almighty dollar...er, billions of 'em...and if there is a bigger and better deal out there...they'll take their tinkertoy and move on...

Yes, I will miss the Chargers...but I will not miss the ownership of this franchise...don't let the door kick you in the arse...on your way out of town...

Other...

The NBA is back up and running after a week shut down...included in that was flurry of trades...the Heat got the bros from Phoenix...well, one set of them...which puts them back in the hunt in the east...PDX made one with the Nuggets, who by the way, were real active...not sure how it helped the Blazers...for the most part, a lot of movement for the backup guys of the teams...blah blah blah...

Horse remains stoic...in the east, Cleveland and Atlanta...in the west, Golden St and the healthy Rockets...long shots are the Spurs, Bulls, and the Thunder (Supersonics)....fuggit about all the rest of 'em...ie, PDX...no proper D...I digress...

LA Open...of all people, Retief Goosen in the lead....what?...an oldie but goodie...last week in the early hunt was John Daly...a trend?...can these blokes last 4 rounds?...doubts...

Here's the Q...which is better?...a Vanagon or a Class B RV?...we will kick back into the hunt next week...you can make a case for each...plan on renting one for a 3 day getaway and judge for ourselves...

NASCAR...don't get it...many do...

Da Oscars...the pretty people get a pretty award for being pretty good...voted on by pretty well off people...do not thank your lord...do not thank your mate...do not thank the academy...but do thank your pretty producers....and pretty agents...when is the last time the award went to a comedy?...

Giuliani must have a screw loose...and to think, I was a believer at one time...

The top 2 in the NFL combine...QB's Winston and Mariota...will work out for this odious event to show their talents...not that they didn't just get doing it for their entire college careers...think I'm not cynical on this league and it's leaders?...something smells to the levels of Netarts...when the tide is out...

Had a fun time carousing the GQ last eve...today it's out to Cedros Ln...and then over to Coronado Island...

Let's keep this party bus a moving...

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...
