Round and round we go.

The Battle at Bristol gets the new record for most attendance at a NCAA football game at 155,690. What’s next, a game in Times Square where they sell SRO tickets?

Many SF Giants were shocked to see an unaccustomed sight in the dugout tonight during the team’s 11-3 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks – smiles.

 

Did #Northwestern decide to stop playing Division 1 #FBS football last offseason and just not tell anyone?

–

Millions of Americans dislike both #Trump & #Clinton & think choosing the lesser evil is tough – what about when #Yankees play #Dodgers?

 

ESPN commenting on how old US Open women’s champion @AngeliqueKerber is…. she is 28 years old.

–

Not sure who will with the Willie Mac award for this year’s most inspirational SF Giant. But the award for the Giant most likely to drive fans to scream, cry and/or drink has to go either to Santiago Casilla or the manager who keeps putting him out there.

Two games for USC, two players ejected in 1st half each game: LT Chuma Edoga today for pushing an official, LB Jabari Ruffin last week for stomping on an opponent’s groin.
So maybe  coaches Sarkasian & Kiffin weren’t solely responsibly for all that Trojan embarrassment after all?

Many of Hillary Clinton’s fundraisers are closed to the press, last night’s LGBT event WAS open to some media. And she said this – “To just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it,”
So was it a gaffe by a very cautious politician? Or a deliberate hand grenade tossed to set off an carefully-timed explosion?

 

Hillary has backed off the “half” of Trump’s supporters on the “basket of deplorables” line, but not the concept. As the old joke goes “We’ve already established that, now we’re haggling price.

 

Guessing @realDonaldTrump is furious at @HillaryClinton over #BasketofDeplorables – insulting millions of Americans is HIS job.

–

Donald Trump yesterday “With Iran, when they circle our beautiful destroyers with their little boats and they make gestures at our people that they shouldn’t be allowed to make, they will be shot out of the water.” How Presidential of him.

 

Mike Pence “I think it’s inarguable that Vladimir Putin has been a stronger leader in his country than Barack Obama has been in this country. And that’s going to change the day that Donald Trump becomes president.”
So Trump’s first act is going to be to disband Congress?

After midnight

September 10, 2016

Worst thing for Diamondbacks fans who showed up to see their team lose to SF Giants in 12 innings… many of them had bought tickets because of the postgame fireworks show.

 

Best thing about using #Twitter as a sports bar is when a #SFGiants game really drives you to drink there’s no need to drive home.

 

Yeah, we all knew in July ‘ playoff chances might be saved in Sept. by a win from & save from leftfielder .

–

 On a lighter note for #SFGiants, Joe #Nathan is awfully cute. Especially when he smiles.

 

Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. #Bochy #SFGiants #Casilla #WTF?

–

Does #Casilla have naked pictures of #Bochy somewhere? Asking for a friend. #SFGiants.

 

How the SF Giants can make playoffs: Samardzija played football at Notre Dame. Next time Casilla heads to mound, the Shark tackles him.

–

Just wondering, If Peyton Manning were still playing, think officials might have called it a little differently if he took same helmet to helmet hits as Cam Newton in last night’s NFL opener?

–

#CharlestonSouthern suspends 14 players for using some scholarship $$ in bookstore for stuff other than books. SEC players “What are books?”

–

Jerry Jones has a fancy new helicopter with Cowboys logo on it, mostly to use to get him to and from games without traffic. But Jones told a Dallas News reporter “You can shoot out of it. You can shoot pigs out of it. You can do a lot of things in this helicopter.”
Ah yes, just another example about why the Cowboys franchise is so “beloved” outside of Dallas.

–

The University of Alabama gave offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin a raise to $1.4 million. The President of the University makes under $700,000 a year. Talk about offensive.

Got to wonder, of the 5,300 Wells Fargo employees who were fired for illegally creating extra accounts for customers, how many of them were bank executives who pushed or oversaw the sales program? #sarcasm

–

Donald Trump said in an call-in interview with Larry King that’s it’s “probably unlikely” that Russia is trying to influence the U.S. election. The interview was for RT America, part of Russia Today, which is Russian state TV. (Trump said he didn’t know that at the time.)

–

Some slam Hillary for being a conservative Goldwater girl in 1964. 1964?! Heck, by the 1990s, even Goldwater himself had become liberal on many issues.

–

John Kerry just announced the U.S. and Russia have reached a agreement on Syria, and a cease-fire is to begin Monday. #IblameObama

–

In claiming to have always opposed the Iraq War, Donald Trump is using the “if you tell a lie enough times people will believe it” strategy.
You know, like “til death do us part.”

–

Politico posting a memo from Andy Lack, chairman of NBC News and MSNBC about last night’s forum: “”Matt(Lauer) did a tremendous job — driving one of the most serious discussions to date on these topics.”
“Lack” as in “lack of a clue?” #WTF?

–

Trump railing against Hillary at a rally “She’s being so protected. She could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody with 20,000 people watching, right smack in the middle of the heart and she wouldn’t be prosecuted, OK?”
Is the Donald volunteering to test that theory?

From Alex Kaseberg:  “Tim Tebow signed with the New York Mets. The Mets are excited. They’ve never had a player throw an interception before.”
