Tricks of the Trade

Hearing about the 'no hot water' thang, that the visitor had to endure after the game in the NFL...reminded me of the shenanigans that home teams pull off...like watering the infield too much, when the visitor is known for their speed...heating up the locker room way too high...putting in real tight nets in the basket, for teams who run a lot...over watering football fields...c'mon, these are thangs that coaches do...stealing signs that went too far, ah, see Michigan...

At one time, players just played the game...now 'showboating' is a norm...making a basket and turning toward the opponent's bench...staring down the defender, after dunking...the list is endless...used to be an automatic technical foul...not now...especially if the offender is a 'star'...

I'm telling you nothing that you don't know or see...the games have gotten pathetic...in this regards...shoot, hoops is a joke...YMCA...which is great if you like that...I don't...

Back when, if you fouled somebody...you had to raise your hand...'yup, I did it'...not now...if you didn't raise your arm, you got T'd...lordy...

Used to be...a coach had to sit during the game...hoops...unless, when I was coaching...my opponent convinced a judge his back was hurting, and he was allowed to stand all the time...in the tourney!...of course, I had to sit...now, the head coaches stand all the time in the NBA...why?...they have no plays...the players don't look at them...I guess to show the arena that they are the boss...of?...well, they get paid the most...I dunno...

The end of a true power couple...Prez Jimmy Carter and his wife, Roslyn...late 90's...with just a terrific set of lives...we met him, while he was campaigning way back when...at the time, a long shot...never forget what he said 'you have a beautiful wife, take good care of her'...really...

College football...no doubt the final 4 will take a major change...as the rivalry games are coming up...Ohio St at Michigan...OSU at Oregon...Wash and WSU...FSU and Florida...Alabama and Auburn...play the games, and let that be the diff...

Well, we are heading out to Singing Hills for some golf...taking Boss for her round of the year...meeting up with them Gahrs...the weather?...77*, so the prognosticators. say....

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...
