Pistol Pete

Image
The NBA All Star Game is in Loosiana this weekend...yea, forever, the team there was called the Jazz...and like many owners do...THAT bloke moved 'em to 'greener pastures'...in Utah, for goodness sakes...and retained the name...there...OMG!...the Utah Jazz...there is no such thing there...I digress... When I think of hoops in the deep south, I am all about Pistol Pete Maravich ...the tall, lanky, mop haired, superior handler of the basketball...in his time the BEST, Jerry, the BEST ...he grew up in the Carolinas...went to play hoops at LSU ...where the coach was his daddy, Press...they had a terrific team...that I saw play in Corvallis...Oregon St, for you SoCal dudes... They got totally screwed in the game...the refereeing was there to show them that they were in indeed enemy territory...it was truly embarrassing...really...they had two huge forwards that dominated the boards and Pete was incredible ...in the days prior to the 3 point line, he averaged 44 pts a game...

Unhinged

Seems to be the word of choice, right now... UNHINGED ...ah yes, our President Trump ...held a press conference that was just like...get this peops, like when he was running for the office...no diff...whatsoever...so, are you all surprised?...not me...the scorned and highly paranoid news service, CNN...has been brutal to the Prez...their ace reporter, Jake Tapper , went so far as to call the conference 'unhinged! '...there you go, the word of the week... Shortly thereafter, the liberal Hollywood rich dudes and dudettes got on board with their Twitters...ripping into the Prez yet again...another no surprise...but, I do find odd the CBS Nightly News broadcast...who led by Scott Pelley , have been doing this annoying and maybe on purpose thinger...in lieu of calling him President Trump, he refers to him as 'the President', or "Mr. Trump'...but never President Trump... really?...c'mon ... Here is where the Horse is coming from...remember, I am an inde...

The Spy Games

Image
Infiltrating thru our air waves...of sound...like different SOUND WAVES ...from the outer world... spooky ...reports of 'em throughout the entire US of A...such is the banter...you have to look for it, but it's there...read some of the comments on the newspaper sites on the web net...I picked up on this at the start of this week...weird...until...I heard this... There is a Russian Spy Ship , 30 miles off our coastline in Connecticut...hey now, these are international waters...I'm sure we have them over yonder...like off the coast of Alaska...right?... we are watching them and they are watching us ...or, maybe, I should say...listening... Leaks ...the present regime has fallen victim to 'em...appears that prior to leaving, Prez O, just may have set them up...really?...that's the noise I am hearing...people giving info to the press... is this more of the 'checks and balances? ...maybe, the newbies need to fire them all, and start over...really...from the gro...

Ticklin' Ya

So the Horse did the unimaginable... pulled his hammy on the 1st swing yesterday! ...let's see, brainiac, pulled me hammy on my last swing the round before...well now, I thought I was OK...oh my...kept going for 9 holes...hey no one ever called me smart...hit everything off my front foot...hmmm...imagine if I would have pulled my left one, too... I think this is THE story for the next week or so...maybe longer...if true...could be fake news... Prez Trump's aides were in communication with Russia, DURING the campaign ...ie, the newly departed from his cabinet, M Flynn...hmmm...this is from CNN...this could be HUGE...stay tuned... For the good and safety of all...the powers to be have to keep the 74 year old Harrison Ford out of flying his whatever...just missed a connection...with a 737 passenger jet...or, stay out of the LA skies...his latest track record is not good...I don't care how much money he has...alias Jack Ryan...ha ha...and this...the same age I think.....

This is a shortee...I am off to the links...but how abou t the UConn gals hoop team ...100 straight wins!...Coach Geno has the right system and players to dominate that sport...that's like 4 years, or so, right?...oh my...I will tell you, the ladies through out the nation are getting BETTER...there are many more teams out there that are near his...still... Slap happy in Denver...the youthful Nuggets unloaded on the Warriors last eve in Colorado...something like 24 3's...well, 16 at half...and were up 25!...I have told you before...I like this team...anyway, Klay was resting, Curry was awful, and KD couldn't do it by himself...one of them games... Your PDX ...lost again...at home...makes no diff who...they lost...again...kiss that coach good bye and let's fall in love with a new one.....

Monday Decaf

So how was your weekend?...or should that be weeknd?...did you watch the Grammy's? ...probably the first time we saw it all...in it's glorious best and worst...I don't think I heard any lip syncing at all...what?...some pretty good moments...some not... The host was a bit of fresh air ...the dude who has the time slot after the now awful late night on CBS...there is no worse host than the guy who took over for Letterman...tries to be funny...and is horrid...and now he thinks he's a political satirist...Stephen Colbert...oh my gawd...however, right after that disaster is the dude I'm referring to as the good newbie... James Corden ...the late late show...has funny schticks and is full of energy... The overall winner of the broadcast and awards...was Adele ...I suppose deserving...of the ones that were in contention...oh my, which included the Bieber...what?...many peops just lurve her...is it just me, or do all her songs seem the same?...geez, keeping up th...
