The Sporting Life



The Horse had a small relapse...probably shouldn't have gone to the races...as the cold and coughing, increased...alas, the TV was the salvation...along with countless Excedrins, fluids, and cough drops...as I was busy switching channels back and forth...from the Ducks/Texas Tech game, and the Bama/Texas one...both nail biters...the latter was a doozy,  and the former, not played so well...UO survived and I do mean, survived...but, the Vegas line was 6 1/2...hmmm...and the Longhorns simply outgunned the Tide...an upset?...you betcha...

The Beavs, Trojans, Utes, Cougs, and Bruins, all held service...and the show continues on, in the imploding Pac 12...there are some really good teams in the last year of it...oh yea, and the Prime guy, had his team rock the Nebraskans...recall when they were a good squad?...been a long time...Huskies, did win, but were just so-so...too...man, more than I can talk about...this league will be very competitive...

The Morocco death total is over 2,000 now...and utter destruction due to the earthquake...BTW, the numbers of the Lahaina, leveled off at like 115...plus 30 some still unaccounted for...nevertheless, horrific...

Very interesting banter about the BEST Clam Chowder...the passion is out there...makes me want to try them all...of course, with some great home made bread, and a wedge of Tillamook Medium Cheddar Cheese...thx for the replies...

The USA World Cup...hoops, guys...lost to Canada for the Bronze...it USED to be an American dominated sport...not so much anymore...especially, with the amount of cash the best get paid...'they' won't play in these events...what have you done for me lately?...(Janet Jackson)...

Using that last line...the Cornhusker Nation is already calling for the firing of it's football coach...Matt Rhule...Nebraska is not used to losing...wait, what?...it''s been years since they have had a good team...just ask Mike Riley...the last one to win (NOT Mike!)...was fired, too...crazy dude...2014...Bo Pelini...remember him?...

My FF team is ready to rock and roll...talked to my head coach, Barney Fife, this morning...he was pumped...said the lineup was solid...and that I could count on a big win...better...his job is on the line...

Line, line, everywhere a line...wait, that's sign, sign, everywhere a sign...'Five Man Electrical Band'...well, the Horse was overusing 'line'...

Phoenix recorded a 110* temp day...their 54th CONSECUTIVE DAY of 110* or above...ah, no, not me...(The Orlons)...what global warming?...must be a dry heat...

Back to the 2 PAC...the remaining schools (Oregon St and Wash St) have a dilemma...split the proceeds 2 ways...and close the league down...the other 10 are balking...the deserters...move into the Mountain West...OR...keep the PAC name and invite the elite of the Mountain...we shall see...or invite, Portland St, UC Davis, Willamette, and OCE...and call it the 6 PAC!!!...

Your guy trump, had the audacity to show up at the Iowa/Iowa St game yesterday...and yes, he was greeted with the norm...a smattering of cheers, drowned out by the BOOOOOOOOOOO's...and a whole lot of 1 finger salutes...and not the pointer, kids...

It's Sunday, FF day, and of course...the Sudoku Monster Puzzle!...hold on, I got a call from Barney...

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...
