NCAA Corruption

The lid is off...the NCAA is naming names...of players this time...that were taking money while playing hoops in college...and it is WIDESPREAD!...all across the map...from Washington to Duke...and other parts of the D-1 land...at first, it was assistant coaches that got the accusations...that broke during this past summer...now, it's players...

The leaking, er unleashing of the information came from the notes obtained by the NCAA probe of the NBA Player Agent, Andy Miller and his agency called ASM...if true...is this what we call alleged?...it slams the door on many top tier programs in the USA...well, it's players and just what will be done?...the list has how much each player received and it is damning...

Makes me wonder how many other agencies, just like this one, exists...and where this takes us...so many tales in the past, of $100 dollar handshakes by boosters, throughout the land...to players...that could not be proven...

Agents and Sports Agencies...you hear about them all the time...what many star players did in the last football bowl season...didn't play, as to the advice of their agency...might get hurt...and ruin their NFL draft status...in essence, their money value...and, in the end, the cut that the agent would make, too....

Listen, there is big time cash made in the collegiate football and basketball world...witness the millions of dollars that are paid out to the coaches...and the Universities and Colleges reap huge amounts, too...some say the players should be part of this payout...however, what they get is a college education and free room and board...wait a minute...

In hoops, the players have to go one year...and then get drafted in to the NBA...how much of a college education do you get in that amount of time?...right, they are in PE classes...just enough credits to be eligible...in football, they have to go 3 years...prior to the NFL draft...so...

All this leads to what we have now...corruption...money...and I'm not sure what is going to be done...to stop it...

Other...

Are you a red wine drinker?...social imbiber, that is...well now, this report out of...somewhere...that if you do, the red wine is good for your teeth and gums...ah ha...there it is...thank you dentists of the world...wait, I don't think the study was by them...

We saw a terrific flick last night...'Begin Again'...a feel good one...about the singing industry...well, sort of...one of the main characters, was the one and only Voice judge, Adam Levine...find it, it is in Netflix...you will thank me later...

Which brings me to this...the new, er this season's 'Voice' judges cut a promo...which has all four of them, in pairs, singing a couple of old Vegas tunes...and it is filmed in black and white...this is found pretty much everywhere...but specifically in 'You Tube'...man, it is hard to keep up with all this social media stuff...

The Floridian high school massacre...has uncovered a very sad tale...well, another sad one...the security guard...allegedly 'hid' during the shootings...if you have people hired to quell the attackers, they better be able to...and Prez T, what do you think the armed teachers will do in this time of crisis?...

Word out of there...in that state...that the armed guards at the schools...will now be carrying AR-15 guns...must have been reading me blog...until...we can BAN them altogether...

What do I know?...ha ha...the Cavs got their lunch handed to them by the Wiz last night....and the Warriors did a number on the very game Clip Show...however, I still say this...if Curry worked as hard on D as he does on O, he'd be on the same tier as LeBron...he doesn't...he makes too many TO's, too...but, man can he shoot the rock...

Pro-cycling...why is there so much cheating in this sport?...get this, a gal from Belgium, rigged her bike up with a motor in hers...oh my...they make huge $ in that sport?...

Hey, we will be in Vegas in a couple of weeks...wonder if we can still get Stormy tickets?...

Rainy, cold, and windy here in the hood...a great time to get out of town, don't you think?...

Yes, it is SNOWING up in our mountains...at Julian...where are we?....

Finally...a show WE just might see at the movie house...'Game Night'...of course, it has my fav, Rachel McAdams starring in it...and what is this rumor?...she may be preggers?...

Be good and I'll see YOU in the web net...

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...
