Football For Thought

Just a short little ditty, as I have yet another early tee time...but I will give you fodder for your am...no doubt, the leading spectacle for many of us fans...is college football...shoot, I even watched a rerun last eve of the '10 Civil War game...like for the unknowing...it's the UO/OSU game...ha ha...

One avenue to a college education...is by getting a scholarship...to pay for your schooling...ball + books= diploma...for a small minority of dudes, they also get to move onto to the next level of play, the NFL...here's the rub...D-1 football is big business...huge money...some have said that the players should be able to get a share of the $...as well as getting their degree paid for...

The latest comment on the plight of the game...came from the now QB of the UCLA Bruins...Josh Rosen...who, in essence, said that football and going to school, DON'T MIX!...that many guys have no duty or even, desire to step into a class room...adding more fuel for the pay for play idea...

Odds...let's look at them...only 3 to 4% of high school players move on to college to play...and the % of the collegiates to pro, may be a bit higher...maybe 6%...so, my figures...are that 94% don't make it...so, get that degree and use it wisely...right?...

However, that doesn't address the money made in football at the collegiate level...do YOU think that there should be a sharing of it?...do the players deserve a portion?...you know who does benefit?...the coaches...who are making record numbers of pay...in fact, they are the biggest salaried people on all campuses...hmmm...

What say you?...

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...
