Strange Brew

Even though I am golfing this am, I am up like way early...so I have
time to write a bit...and it's all about the NBA...just a Strange Brew of events that went on yesterday...and no weirder than that happening in Cleveland...they fired their head coach...David Blatt...

Hmmm...let's see...in his second season...his lack of accomplishments must be the reason, right?...wait...he lost in the finals last year to the best team in hoops, the GS Warriors...albeit, with his star PG injured...yes, he does have the dominant physical feature in the game, LeBron James...but...here me clearly...he is not THE BEST in the biz...talking Lebron...

OK...this season he had the Cavs in first place in the East...and easily the front runner to get back to the champ game...however, the Warriors came to town and beat them soundly...get a grip, Cleveland owners...if GS is on...they beat anyone...even you...and the finger of doubt should be put on YOU!...your next best players are no where close to that of the champs...PG Irving and disappointing Love...no match for Klay Thompson and the best 4 man playing, Draymond Green...not even close...

Well, the Cavs hired the players's buddy, and former NBA player, Tyronn Lue...signed him for 3 years, I believe...BTW, the assist coach always seems like the better option...and let's be frank...if he can get this team to win, then the change may have been right...my take?...there usually is a bump up at first...but in the latter third of the regular season, it will really tell...

Any time the inmates run the asylum it is a sure fire bet that it will fall apart...listen, you have the same personnel...and they can't beat the Warriors...or the Spurs...or the Thunder...or the ???...regardless of who is guiding the team...and...if not winning enough, these blokes will turn on Lue, too..."it can't be me!" syndrome...

In the mean time, I just watch the good kids play...and play hard...and enjoy the game...BTW, Coach Steve Kerr just returned...kudos to Luke Walton for a terrific interim job...as they whupped an improved Pacer squad...who has a couple of rookies that are playing real well...one being Joe Young, the Duck...and I watch the Clip Show...and the Spurs...and the Blazers...all play with emotion and not  with the evil eyes of the Cavs...sorry, Cleveland, but it's true...

Finally, the answer to my trivia Q from two days ago...Pete Carroll...stumped ya, didn't I...

Wish me luck as I get out and bang the ball this am...

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...
