The Task Force

This is the name for the group that had a sole job of trying to come up with a viable solution for keeping the NFL Chargers in San Diego...rendering a new stadium for the team...there have been many sites talked about in the last 5 or so years...ie, Chula Vista, Escondido, Downtown, and the present site, out at Mission Vally...to name the primary ones...so...

Involved in the quickness of the final decision, was the fact that the city of Carson...part of the mega-city Los Angeles...has got a spot all picked put for the MAJOR OPTION for the Bolts...and is the carrot that is dangling with the team...

So...the owner of the team, threw out a curve ball yesterday...as he passed on the majority of the operations of the Chargers to his two 30 something old sons...and, in reality...created a NEW scenario for the team...to me, a glimpse of the future...new direction of ownership and new direction of calling a place "home"...

I have said for some time that the move is a done deal....and the Task Force has been trying like hell to come up with a viable option for the team to stay in San Diego...where it has been a valuable piece of the rock that the city hung their hat and reputation on...rich tradition back in the old AFL days...and a team that had a strong following....in a town that has many things to do...not just go to an NFL game...

Anyway, the TF came up with a newbie in the same area as the current one...out at Mission Valley...adjacent to Qualcomm...and with ideas about making a village surrounding it...sounds like a decent plan...with no taxes to the public...hmmm....the cost partly shared by the club itself, the county, and the increase in tix prices and parking prices...thus, if you want this to happen, the $ depends on those who go...which makes sense to me...

I fear that this is a futile effort...as the owners have already made up their mind(s)...as all the "experts" have said the value of the Chargers increases double with a move to LA, er, Carson...hmmm...let's see...if we move we now are worth $5 billion in lieu of $2.5 billion...now, what would YOU do?...

Of course, the money value that is being bantered about is all speculation...as the "experts" have also said that the city of LA is not enamored with the Bolts...that there is more love for the other possible inhabitant of the proposed stadium there...the bloody Raiders...who have to be going thru the same drama as this city is...

And now...the NFL is meeting up in NoCal....SF, I believe...and the hot topic, of course, is the moving of 3 teams to Los Angeles...in essence, we are talking the owners...here's bit of history for you...NO NFL TEAM has survived there before...and now...we are talking 3?...the Rams, the Chargers, and the Raiders...

It's all about the $...and what would make the owners the most...which is the quandary...is it really a good move for the league?...of course, each "mover" has hired big time lawyers to prove their case...here's my take...each of them are doing just fine where they are...so it is all about greed...and if they are allowed to exit, don't let the door hit you in the arse...too hard...well, maybe I hope it hurts...

How do I really feel?...

PS...how much validity do I give this group of owners?...this set of clowns still believe that a good name for a team is the "Redskins"...NOW, I rest my case...

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...
