Cold Stadiums



You must show your bravado and attend the NFL games in the deep, deep COLD...so what if it is below freezing?...you live there, you gots the appropriate warming clothing...and all them heat warmer thangs that you can stick purnt near everywhere...for GOODNESS SAKES, you ARE a season ticket holder...c'mon now...you love to scream your silly arse out at the games...pound the sideboards, clang the seats...blow them damn airhorns...cowbells?...can't get enough cowbell...if you weanie out, and decide to watch it on the pixels...you may have a problem...at least in KC...as the Dolphins/Chiefs game is being televised EXCLUSIVELY on Peacock...you don't have it?...get your thermal stuff ready and get out the door...

It's the sign of the times...$...cash...dollars, and lots of them...that take these games, and televise them in sordid spots...like Prime...where the signal freezes for moi...these fat cats want pay for view...I guess...more of that green stuff that they can stick in their 401 K's...that seemingly they never ever get taxed on...yea, that upper 1% of our very own society...it is them...when the Demos say that they want those fat cats to pay what they should be...and are embraced by the Repubs, their revered donors, so they can keep ALL their loot...makes me sick...you KNEW I would turn this into politics, didn't you...

Staying in football...your reminder that one school was going to lose their cherished coach to Alabama...yup, the Washington Huskies was the one...had to be 'Bama's 2nd choice after Lanning...guess DeBoer doesn't bleed purple as much as Lanning does green...and so it goes...the Huskies recruits will leave...some to Alabama...Washington will start anew...and the story goes on...listen, can't blame the bloke...it was a huge step for any coach...and sure...the $ is there...just win, baby...

You probably don't know his name...but, Peter Crombie died at the age of 71 yesterday...too early, right?...I think so...but he was a key character in the 'Seinfeld Show'...'Crazy' Joe Davola...who had a string of spots on it...his 5 episodes were legendary...in real life, was considered a great guy...and not crazy at all...

A missing step...I am all for the athlete to get his due in cash...talking hoops, kids...but, there is a missing part in their growth in the game...a very important one...the years in college...where you learn to live on your own, without the parents hovering...and the teaching, the further teaching of the game during that span of life...the athletes go to the pros TOO SOON...they are expected to already have the nuances of hoops..99% do not...a mandatory 3 year session should be installed...the Horse rests...

This is funny...the Chargers (the Spanos version) will meet with Harbaugh this week...if he signs with them he must not only be the head coach but be the GM....no other way would work...this cuts out the Spanos son and then, and ONLY THEN, does the franchise have a chance for success...my guess, he passes...

Now...one of the things in football, baseball, not so much basketball, is the lip reading of the opponents...the enemy of sorts...well...the pretty people are doing it...as the cameras are all over them...and the closeups have the things they say, splattered all over the web net...so NOW, they hide their lips with their hands...trump ought to try that...

Add that to his trump circus train...

Looking at the 2 wild card games today in the NFL...the Browns are favored over the Texans (in Texas?)...and the Chiefs fav over the Dolphins in KC...and I have no clue...still can't believe how well Flacco has played...and how poorly the Chiefs have moved the ball...hope I get Peacock...

Finally, Taiwan elected a new president that China has labeled a 'troublemaker'...Lai Ching-te...the former VP...I fully support the vote...it was not a stolen election...there were no 'fake electorates'...there was not ballot stuffing...and this is NOT FAKE NEWS!...

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...

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.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
