Leaving the lights on.

November 28, 2016

So this year it’s the “Motel 6 Cactus Bowl,” on Dec. 27 in Phoenix. Do the winners all get a free night at a Motel 6, and the losers get two nights?

 

The Big Ten reprimanded Jim Harbaugh and fined Michigan $10,000 after Harbaugh complained bitterly about the officiating Saturday. A small excerpt “Two penalties called all day [on Ohio State “Multiple holding penalties let go, multiple false starts…”
So wonder if Wolverine backers already have a Gofundme account set up to pay the fines?

–

Ohio State could make the College Football Playoff without winning their own division.   Would that make them an honorary member of the SEC?

 

A United flight from San Francisco to Tokyo had to return to the airport today following an engine failure after takeoff. No word about potential compensation for passengers, or about a future “engine” fee.

–

Hoping the attacker ends up  the only fatality on OSU campus today. But my immediate bus-to-hell thought “Dudes, you won the game.”

That and “anyone seen Harbaugh this morning?.” #morebustohell

–

Trump supporter NY Rep. Chris Collins today “”What do I know about Mitt Romney? I know that he’s a self-serving egomaniac who puts himself first, who has a chip on his shoulder, and thinks that he should be president of the United States.”
Does this even need a punchline?

–

 

Trump is threatening to “terminate” deal that Obama made with Cuba. Does he realize even his supporters like cigars and rum?

–

Apparently Twitter users are going after Ivanka Trump after she posted a picture of her youngest child, with the caption “I cannot believe Theodore is 8 months old today. Happy Birthday Little Teddy Bear.”
But come on, we all know the Trumps are so special they get birthdays every month. #onlythelittlepeoplejustgetonebirthday

–

The NY Times reports that Steve Bannon talked to Julia Jones, a former partner on a Reagan film project, about “genetic superiority,” and “the desirability of limiting the vote to property owners.”
Ah yes, building that bridge to the 18th century

 

Trump is naming Georgia Rep. and Obamacare critic Tom Price as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Price tweeted “House Republicans’ #BetterWay plan will protect the principles of health care: Accessibility, Affordability, Quality, Innovation, & Choices.”.
Okay, fine, but how come all these GOP critics never thought health care needed reforming until Dems actually passed the ACA?

Got to love this one forwarded to me by Roberta.

In addition to winning the 1967 Stanley Cup, the Maple Leafs won all subsequent Cups if you deduct the dozens of teams who won illegally

Payback?

November 28, 2016

Gregg Williams, who was the defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints responsible for “Bounty Gate,” now has that job for the Rams.

Not only did the Saints put up 49 points on the Rams today, but they scored one late TD on a flea flicker pass with a 21 point lead. But I’m sure payback from New Orleans coach Sean Payton had nothing to do with it.

–

The Pac 12 Championship might have better than average attendance. Could be 1st good matchup fans see in the 49ers’ Levis Stadium.

–

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said would “speak with” DL Jerry Tillery, who apparently stomped on the foot of one USC player, and kicked another in the helmet when he was down. Will Kelly tell Tillery he is “NFL ready?

–

In the third quarter of yesterday’s Michigan-Ohio State game, Jim Harbaugh got angry enough to throw his play card and headset onto the ground on the sideline. Officials gave him an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. Jeez, for 15 yards Harbaugh might as well have thrown the stuff and hit someone. .

–

Got to love the airlines. United says it’s not possible to standby earlier when flight was delayed because of having a checked bag and bags must go with passengers.
Then land to an email message saying “Welcome to San Francisco! Your bag has arrived on an earlier flight. Please see a Baggage Service representative in Baggage Claim to pickup your bag.” #WTF?

–

Trump and Obama are apparently talking regularly. Makes sense from the President’s view. If the President-Elect will listen to anybody, he might as well listen to a voice of reason.

–

Forget the shock of Trump winning election, more unbelievable question – how did the SF 49ers ever beat anybody?

–

So now that @realDonaldTrump was elected President can’t he just order the IRS to stop his audit and then go ahead and release tax returns?

–

Trump tweeted today  “In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally.”   So it’s not enough that people are creating fake news, now the President-elect is quoting it.

–

Putin has given a Russian passport to U.S. action film star Steven Seagal, saying he hopes it’s “a sign of a gradual normalization of the relations between the countries.”
If Putin really wants to score points with Americans, maybe he can give Russian citizenship to the Kardashians?

–

No evidence “millions” voted illegally, but if @realDonaldTrump believes it wouldn’t he want massive recount to prove point & bigger win?.

 

If Trump really wants to reward someone who helped him win election, should give Cabinet post to Jack Dorsey, founder of @twitter

–

Kellyanne Conway says that Trump supporters are furious that he is considering Romney for Secretary of State after the personal attacks Mitt made about the Donald during the campaign.
Of course, on the other hand, if Trump doesn’t consider anyone who didn’t attack him, or who he didn’t attack, there are going to be a lot of open positions in his White House.

–

Apparently many of more than 1.5 million Floridians who signed up for the ACA are really counting on the law staying in place. Because they love the Affordable Care Act, it was Obamacare they couldn’t stand?

–

Anyone who’s never been uninsured in their life has no business complaining about the #ACA #Obamacare. That is all.
