Hold Outs

Afternoon, kids...had a way early tee time and had no time to talk...now I do...let's just say I am a tired doogie...95* out at the course, and little wind...makes for a very HOT round...on the 16th tee, I was sweating big time...this after loads and loads of agua...still...can't imagine how the blokes in the desert do it...

The item for this day, has to do with the upcoming NFL camps...as we all get ready to draft our fantasy football teams...I mean, this is all for you and I, right?...who is hurt, who is in tip top shape, and what does the FF magazine say?...alas, the one thing that keeps coming up...the money that running backs want...and are willing to sit out, until they get the cash that they think they deserve...HOLD OUTS!...which affects their teams, and more importantly, how this affects the fantasy draft...c'mon, get real...

One of the said RB's, is the dude from the vagabond Chargers, Melvin Gordon...listen, I hope the best for the Bolts...well, sort of...just not for the odious owner family...you know why...and, many of the so called pundit, pick 'em as real contenders this season...such a waste, as they still play in that 27,000 seat soccer stadium in LA...yet, Gordon is willing to sit out, perhaps the entire season...here's the deal...RB have a short self life...max is 4 and 1/2 years...hmmm...

Staying in football, there are the college pundits doing their thang, too...and have picked the Ducks of Oregon as the favorites in the Pac 12 North...I sure hope that comes to fruition...

Remember the time, that no pro sports were played in Vegas?...now, they all do...all star games...as the colleges do, too...conference championship games and all...why?...they have the arenas and the HOTELS!...

Surprised to see the leader of the French LPGA T was the one and only Pink Panther...I mean, how can't that happen in France?...Pink Panther, Inspector Clouseau...and side splitting laughs...right?...well, I am stretching it a bit...but, it is Paula Creamer as the first round leader...can she pull this off?...

The mighty Padres...are they or aren't they going to be in the trade market this next week?...they are on the cusp to either out of the playoffs, or, in the playoffs...do they sell their key guys and get prepped for next season?...again?...

Did you see the way the South Korean all star baseball game was played?...the players dressed in Halloween type costumes...it added a bit of fun to it all...does North Korea have a league, too?...ha ha...

The Trailblazers signed another C to their roster...ancient Pau Gasol...39 yrs young...in NBA age, that is about 78...my good buddy, says that he adds calm presence in the locker room...ah, that's why you already have like 6 coaches, right?...he does add another bloke who can't hedge...that is the mantra for the forever also ran, Blazers...sorry, Coach, but it's true...bad add, says the Horse...but, he was cheap...ha ha...

I did get me hairs cut...$13 bucks...'short on the side, leave the top a bit long, and block the back'...sure, they always give me the same style...regardless of what I say...the military cut...

For your enjoyment, not one thing political today...
