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...
