Chicago Cubs going to White House Monday instead of usual WS champion mid-season visit. So, White Sox Obama fan vs Trump?. No contest.

There are no style points in field goal kicks. #Packers #MasonCrosby

–

Joe Buck  at one point today in today’s Green Bay Dallas game “and #Rodgers throws it away…. complete to Cobb.” Good to know Buck is as competent on football as he is on baseball.

–

All these imperfect AFC playoff teams & games really painful to watch for @Raiders fans who must wonder w/ Derek Carr what might have been.

–

Meanwhile #SF49ers interviewing Tom Cable. Those @49ers fans who’ve been saying “Cheer up, it could be worse” might be about to be proved right.

–

–

SF 49ers are considering Tom Cable as head coach. Yep, the same Tom Cable who was fired by Al Davis over domestic violence allegations, after Cable had broken his assistant coach’s jaw with a punch. Five words “Winning with class my ass.”

–

If #DallasCowboys really are America’s team this is not a good omen for #Inauguration week.

–

ESPN reported Ezekiel Elliott has received follow-up questions about his domestic violence case from July, and he is “still in the process of responding.” So there will be no resolution before the Super Bowl. I am shocked, said nobody paying attention to the NFL.

(actually wonder now with the Green Bay win if the process will suddenly miraculously speed up so any possible suspension would be over sooner in 2017.)

A Vermont University study of 16,000 people over 23 years found that regularly eating hotl peppers found to reduce the chance of dying by 13%

I’m gonna live forever!

The latest celebrity to back out of  Trump Inaugural is Andrea Bocelli. Guess he could finally see that performing was a bad idea?   #bustohell

Trump says his Obamacare replacement plan is “all but finished.” He’ll unveil it just as soon as he defeats ISIS & releases his tax returns.

–

Donald Trump  canceled MLK holiday visit to African American History museum. Maybe he just realized the museum honored than just MLK?

–

–

Reince Priebus today stated of Walter Shaub, who has been criticizing Trump, that “the head of the government ethics ought to be careful, because that person is becoming extremely political.”

But maybe Shaub has ambitions of becoming director of the FBI?

–

From T.C.  “The field at Arrowhead Stadium looked good. Those rented Zambonis did a great job.”

Six of the first eight NFL playoff games in the books.  .Only Green Bay-Dallas, and Pittsburgh-Kansas City left.

And here’s the real burning question –  will either game be the first this postseason to be decided by less than two touchdowns?

So after that performance will Jed York and 49ers try to make a trade for Brock Osweiler? #HOUvsNE

Love rooting for old men in professional sports. Don’t love that 34 years old is considered old. #DevinHester #SEAvsATL

–

San Antonio Spurs played in Mexico City tonight. With all the foreign players on the team and what Popovich has said about Trump, good thing we don’t have the wall yet. The President- Elect might not let them back in.

–

#RinglingBros circus to close after 146 years. Because they couldn’t possibly compete with the daily circus in Washington?

–

Thinking right about now USA really really misses Walter Cronkite.

–

American Apparel is closing all its stores. “Sad, but what’s American Apparel?” said everyone over 30.

–

R.I.P. Dick Gautier, 85 ,Hymie the Robot, in “Get Smart.” Right about now we could use someone like him against KAOS. “People hate, robots love.”

–

Trump’s latest Twitter barrage was to attack Rep. John Lewis, who said he wasn’t an legitimate president. He said Lewis was “all talk talk talk, no action.”
Have news for the soon to be Tweeter-in-chief. “Bloody Sunday” doesn’t refer to something involving Megyn Kelly.

–

Jennifer Holliday , who won a Tony for Dreamgirls, has backed out performing at the inaugural, and apologized to the LGBT community, saying she does not support the President-Elect. Standby for Trump tweeting that the Tony’s are overrated.

–

New reports are that Donald Trump allegedly invited Miss Hungary to his hotel room after attending the 2013 Miss Universe pageant. Of course maybe this is shameless fake news attempt by Trump to curry favor with Bill Clinton.

–

Sen. James Inhofe defended Donald Trump’s comparison of leaking intelligence agencies to Nazi Germany. “Sure, those are his words. He has a sense of humor. Isn’t that strange?”

I think i liked “Springtime for Hitler.” better.

–

Donald Trump told the WSJ that he may lift Obama’s sanctions against Russia. And that he was open to meeting President Putin after he is inaugurated. Well, finally, some things where folks on both sides of the aisle believe him.
