Comparison shopping

May 17, 2017

Tony Dungy compared Colin Kaepernick’s situation to what happened with Michael Vick after his release from prison, and Joe Mixon’s draft day fall.
Right, because kneeling on the sideline is as egregious to NFL coaches as killing dogs and hitting women? #WTF?

 

The way Lebron & Cavs are playing no one from Cleveland needed even to try to trip Isaiah Thomas.

–

Lonzo Ball may refuse to work out for the Celtics, so set is he on playing for the Lakers. Even though the difference on a guaranteed rookie contract between the 1st and 2nd pick is over $2 million. Guess dad will have to up the price of those shoes.

–

Mark Cuban says he would “love it” if LaVar Ball appeared on “Shark Tank.” Many Americans at this point would be equally happy if Lavar went into a shark tank. A real one.

–

There’s a report that Moses Malone Jr. is suing James Harden, alleging that the Rockets’ star paid people to assault and rob Malone because he was upset about a Facebook post.
Crazy.  But reminds us of those not-so-distant days when the most insane stories were on the entertainment and sports pages?

–

LaVar Ball said today now that if Nike, Under Armour or Adidas want to make a deal w/ him and his Big Baller Brand now,he has raised the asking price to $3 billion. You almost wonder if the guy is trying to prove he has enough ego to work in the Trump administration.

–

John McCain was asked if he is ruling out any chance of impeachment. And he answered, apparently with a smile “The thought has not crossed my mind.”
Would have loved to see McCain asked if he likes Presidents who don’t get impeached.

–

Trump leaves Friday, along w/ much of his inner circle, for his 1st foreign trip. Any way while he’s gone we can change White House locks?

–

Google is launching “Google for Jobs,” a search feature for job seekers that will pull together job postings from all over the internet. Maybe they can beta-test it for staffers now in the White House?

So at this point Melania’s got to be wondering if she can get her deposit back on Barron’s DC area private school for 2017-18.

–

John Kasich on Trump – “I hate to say I told you so …” Au contraire, I am pretty sure the Ohio governor LOVES to say “I told you so.”

 

Amazing to think that Mike Pence, who wasn’t even favored to win re-election in Indiana, could end up President of the US.  What a country.

–

Trump has the ability to fire new special prosecutor #RobertMueller Too soon to start a pool on when he will?

 –
Putin “I have transcript of talks between Trump & Russia foreign ministers.” Doesn’t Vlad have transcripts of all WH talks?

 

Many turned on Obama quickly when he couldn’t accomplish everything they wanted. And Trump supporters still back him. #WTF?

–

This is NOT my joke, a friend found it on Reddit by “Raevix.” But worth sharing: In answer to the question “Why will Congress never impeach Trump?”
“Republicans always insist on carrying a baby to full term.”

Are we confused yet?

May 17, 2017

Trump says he has an “absolute right” to release the information his spokespeople say he didn’t release.

 

DC residents of mixed minds on Turkish president #Erdoğan‘s thugs beating up protestors outside the Turkish Ambassador’s residence in Washington.   Half were appalled. Half want them signed by Redskins.

–

American Airlines is changing their upgrade priority to give more weight, not just to your frequent flier status, but to how much you have actually spent in the last 12 months, followed by how much you spent on the flight you are trying to upgrade.
In other words, the less you need a free upgrade, the more likely you are to get one.

—

Really? On a Bigelow teabag packet -“Tea is a gluten-free beverage.” What’s next, the same message on a bottle of water?

–

Now Ann Coulter may be turning against Trump. Who knew Coulter had cojones? Oh wait, never mind.

 

This just in, taking notes has been banned in the White House. #ComeyMemo

–

I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go, he’s a good guy.” If President does it it’s not meddling. #WTF?

–

Gavin Newsom’s ex-wife in talks to become WH press sec. And we thought Trump’s relationship w/ Marla Maples was awkward.

–

Trump doesn’t want White House leakers.  He must be thrilled Kimberly Guilfoyle talking about being Press Sec. while Spicer still has job.

Talking about becoming  Press Secretary while Sean Spicer still has the job is like a  mistress talking about her potential wedding to married man. Hmm, maybe I see the attraction.

–

So as Trump heads to Jerusalem, appears info he had an “absolute right” to leak came from Israel. And you think visiting in-laws is awkward.

—
And with the Donald Trump road show commencing this weekend Mideast and Europe get their first ringside view of the USA’s biggest circus.

 

So NY Times reporting that President told Comey he “should consider putting reporters in prison for publishing classified information.” Can’t imagine how some people consider Trump a wannabe authoritarian dictator.

–

Don’t look now, but there are already two teams in MLB with worse records than the SF Giants.  San Francisco is on a 5 game win streak, only 7 games away from .500.

As a Spurs fan even before game 2, I get it, the Warriors have more firepower and were deserved favorites to win this series.
But for all those talk radio and other types slamming the Spurs for collapsing in game 1 and then whining… right. I am sure if Golden State had already lost Curry and then suddenly lost Durant for the game on a controversial play involving a Spurs reserve, I am sure they would have played through it and shaken off the incident as “just basketball.”

(for what it’s worth, I think Tom Tolbert, who is a Warriors fan, has it right. The play wasn’t dirty but it was reckless.  If someone does that foot move and no one gets hurt call it a foul, maybe a flagrant 1.  If someone gets hurt, Flagrant 2 and ejection.  That way he thinks players will figure out more careful footwork.)
