Blooming something?

September 18, 2016

 

Inspired by an anonymous friend. Several people were trapped last night in an Outback Steakhouse after the Chelsea explosion. Must have been horrifying. Almost as horrifying as being in New York City and choosing to eat at Outback Steakhouse.

 

 

Washington CB Josh Norman was upset after being drug tested after today’s loss to Dallas. He has a point, who would ever think based on the Redskins’ play that they use PEDs?

–

Well, at least the #SFGiants didn’t have another blown save today. #smallmercies

 

Roger Goodell today “As I’ve said before, I truly respect our players wanting to speak out and change the community. We don’t live in a perfect society. We want them to use that voice.”
So does the NFL actually have a conscience? Or is Goodell counting $$$ from extra Kaepernick jersey sales?

–

ESPN reporting that that the NFL is admitting to 16 missed calls against the Jaguars in their loss against the Packers last week. 16? You’d think if the league have time and money to do that much analysis, they’d have time and money for full time officials.

–

New Orleans Saints have lost two games by a total of 4 points. Three words. “Moral victories suck.”

 

If the #SFGiants just miss the playoffs will the video of the 2016 season be titled “Groundhog Day?” #Casilla #Bochy

 

–

Another piece of my childhood gone. So, long, Farewell.   Charmian Carr, Liesl, in “The Sound of Music” has passed away. She was 73 going on 74.

–

Fortunately no fatalities other than the alleged attacker in the Minnesota mall stabbings. But do all these folks who think 2nd amendment rights trump all ever consider fewer restrictions also would make it even easier for nut jobs to get guns?

–

Mike Pence today said Dick Cheney is his VP role model. Does this mean Donald Trump has told his running mate that if elected, Trump will let Pence actually run the country for him?

–

Clinton after New York explosion “I think it’s always wiser to wait until you have information before making conclusions, because we are just in the beginning stages of trying to determine what happened.”. Trump “Nobody knows what’s going on. But boy are we living in a time – we better get very tough, folks.”. Right. Because why should facts matter with a good narrative?

–

One of the scariest things about Donald Trump is you just know he is rooting for a terrorist act on U.S. soil in October.

News and not news.

Nine blown saves for Santiago Casilla now with SF Giants. At this point shouldn’t the headline only be when he actually gets the save?

–

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” #SFGiants #Bochy #Casilla

 

Missing those un-PC days when you could count on the #Stanford band to do a tasteful half-time show on the #USC rape case #LSJUMB

#Stanford would like to congratulate #Cal for upholding #Pac12 pride tonight. But for this year’s #BigGame, bet the over.

–

Cal beat Texas 50-43.  Afterwards the Longhorns’ defensive coordinator declined to speak to the press. Which was okay as most of the media didn’t figure Texas HAD a defensive coordinator.

–

Cal did get away with RB Vic Enwere dropping  the ball before the goal line because he thought he had scored a clinching  TD.  I realize higher math is not a Golden Bear priority but maybe it might be good to teach all the team to count to 100.

—

Jim Harbaugh said playing catch with Tom Brady before the UM Colorado game was “a thrill” and “That ball almost catches itself the way he throws it.” Wonder if Harbaugh thought of adding “and that ball felt a little softer than I remembered from my playing days.”

–

Nothing certain these days but death, taxes & the fact any explosion or mass shooting instantly blamed by some on one demographic. #Chelsea

While the media obsesses about Hillary’s emails, a leaked Colin Powell email confirms what Israel has never publicly admitted, that they have “200 nukes all targeted on Tehran” But hey, IOKIYR

–

Donald Trump’s new campaign theme is a take off of “‘Les Misérables”- “Les Deplorables” -with “Do You Hear the People Sing’ as a sort of anthem. Wrong on so many levels but for starters, with the attacks in the last year, Trump would probably ban immigration from France since it’s a nation “compromised’ by terrorism.

–

Barack Obama at the Congressional Black Caucus” ‘I’ve got an extra spring in my step tonight. I don’t know about you guys, but I am so relieved the whole birther thing is over. I mean, ISIL, North Korea, poverty, climate change – none of those things weighed on my mind like the validity of my birth certificate. With just 120 days to go we got that thing resolved. In other breaking news the world is round and not flat.’
