Sins of Our Fathers?

June 16, 2013

#FathersDay is always a big day for awkward family phone calls. Especially. in the NBA, where the response to a “Happy Father’s Day phone conversation often starts “So which one are you, anyway?”

–

Who says there’s no bipartisan agreement in this country.  Anyone outside of South Florida tonight not rooting for the San Antonio Spurs against the Miami Heat?

–

Whatever happens in game 6 and 7, guess there are children in Africa who will be enjoying their “NBA Championship Heat Sweep” t-shirts.

–

No word on what Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will call their baby. Wonder if they’re auctioning off naming rights?

–

Ian Kennedy says his 10 game suspension for throwing at the heads of Yasiel Puig and Zach Greinke doesn’t make sense. He’s probably right. It should have been 30.

–

New Yorkers are a different breed. A woman appears to have committed suicide by jumping from the 12th floor of her ritzy Upper East Side apartment, and a neighbor, who told a reporter the woman was fully clothed including shoes added “”They look like nice dress shoes.”

–

Stanford graduation speaker today New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. So wonder if the stadium banned guests bringing in large soft drinks?

–

Sarah Palin on Syria. “I say let Allah sort it out. ” But then adding “until we have a commander-in-chief who knows what they’re doing.” You’d think the one thing Palin might be an expert on quitting while she’s ahead.

In what apparently was a bad mood last night Texas A&M Aggies sophomore quarterback Johnny Manziel tweeted then deleted the following “Bulls— like tonight is a reason why I can’t wait to leave college station…whenever it may be.” Well, this ought to make Manziel real popular with the local fans if he has a sophomore slump.

What happened to “World Peace?” Miss Utah tonight, asked in the Miss USA pageant about the fact that women are primary breadwinners in 40% of households, but still earn less than men. ““I think we can relate this back to education, and how we are continuing to try to strive to… figure out how to create jobs right now. That is the biggest problem right now. “I think, especially the men are … um … seen as the leaders of this, and so we need to see how to … create education better. So that we can solve this problem. Thank you.”

–

Let me guess,  Miss Utah is neither seeing herself as a future breadwinner nor someone who needs to concern herself much with education.

So the NBA fined Chris Bosh, who makes over $17 million a year, $5000 for flopping in game 4 and drawing a foul on Tim Duncan. So wondering if the Heat are figuring how much pocket change it will cost them to win game 5.

–

If this keeps up, the Miami Heat might not just win a championship, they could be declared the honorary NBA team of the 2014 World Cup.

–

Little 21st century quirks. Like logging into Facebook and being told that your friends are having birthdays and maybe you would like to send them a gift. Except that one of them died 8 months ago. …. (Does heaven use Starbucks’ cards?)

Father of the year?  Brewers manager Ned Yost wasn’t at his team’s Thursday night’s game because his only daughter was getting married. But he didn’t miss a pitch – “I had the phone out, sitting on the pew right next to me, during the whole process.”

(I can imagine it now.  “Who gives this woman to be married…?”  “What, that pitch was six inches outside.)

 

Two wine collectors are suing chef Charlie Trotter for $76,000, because they said he sold them a $46,000 bottle of wine that was fake. Uh, $30,000 extra in damages? For what… therapy because you’re dumb enough to spend $46,000 on a bottle in the first place?
