Colin Kaepernick is looking better and better…

June 27, 2017

Vince Young, upset that he hasn’t been signed this year by an NFL team, is complaining that other “garbage” QBs have jobs and he doesn’t. “I hate to name-drop, but [Ryan] Fitzpatrick is still playing!? He leads the league in interceptions, and he’s still f—— getting paid? I mean, what the f— is going on?”
Well, and who would turn down a chance to have a backup QB with that kind of positive attitude in their locker room?

 

A rare bit of good news for  SF Giants.  Madison Bumgarner not only making rehab start in Sacramento – he’s taking batting practice. #pitcherswhorake

Must have been a slow news day in Boston – TSA found a 20-pound live lobster in checked luggage at Logan Airport. Apparently this is legal as long as the crustacean is properly packaged. But how long until someone tries to avoid checked bag fees by calling their lobster a service animal?

In Florida, a man spent 90 days in jail because cops suspected he had cocaine in his truck, which a lab eventually confirmed was white powdered drywall. Of course, since this was Florida suppose the guy has to be grateful he wasn’t shot.

Rick Perry got to the  White House press podium today and seemed like he wanted to stick around. Will he come up w/ 2-3 good reasons why he should be Press Secretary?

A woman is suing a Manhattan bar after she tore her ACL because she said they allowed her to ride their mechanical bull while “visibly intoxicated.”
Isn’t being “visibly intoxicated” a requirement for riding mechanical bulls?#Darwinwouldbeproud

Bruce Bochy with the baseball quote of the year after a Fox Sports story indicating closer Mark Melancon’s ending a stretching session is part of the SF Giants problem this year -. “It’s pole vaulting over mouse turds.”

A flight at a Shanghai airport was delayed after an elderly lady threw coins into the engine for good luck. Your move, Florida.

(Don’t tell people going on Disney rides.)

 

GOP to delay Trumpcare vote until after July 4. If they delay more than 63 days do they have to wait 6 months to try again?

New owners of Toronto Trump Intl Hotel & Tower made deal to have Trump name taken off property. Many wish White House could make same deal.

Ivanka Trump  “I try to stay out of politics” That’s why she chose to leave her business & kids to be “senior advisor to President of US? #WTF?

 

Pretty amazing that the President who continually rails against “Fake News” retweeted FOUR items from “Fox and Friends” this morning.

Is one win a streak?

Inquiring SF Giants fans want to know.

SF Giants play “When the lights go down in the city” if team is ahead in 8th. Fans might be forgiven for wondering if it’s “Oldies night. ”

Meanwhile, NBA finally gets around to naming MVP,  Coach of the Year, etc.   Had some of those playoff series gone a bit longer have to wonder if they’d have had to have the ceremonies at halftime during preseason games.

Oracle Team USA blown out by Emirates New Zealand 7-1 in #AmericasCup. So US is now longer best in billionaire boat racing. #IblameTrump

Trump now accusing Obama of collusion in Russian election meddling that he said didn’t happen. #Whythereisnosatire

 

New provision in Trump care, not a mandate, but anyone uninsured for 64 days or more would have to wait 6 months for new insurance. So it’s simple, if you lose your job and can’t afford COBRA, don’t get sick.

But for those who get cancer or something else horrible –  in the name of removing the Obamacare mandate –  Live free AND die.

 

 

CBO Score says 22 million would become uninsured under Trumpcare. GOP disagrees, number will be much smaller as some of them will be dead.

 

Media complaining White House Press Conferences now “audio-only” No doubt Trump and Sean Spicer will respond by turning sound off.

Fox News’ Brit Hume said on Russia that colluding with a foreign government to influence an election would “obviously be alarming and highly inappropriate.” But, “it’s not a crime.”
Somewhere Nixon is going “Did I live in the wrong time or what?”

Police say the 14-year old girl who was videoed dangling from a Six Flag gondola ride in New York apparently deliberately slid under the safety bar. So the men who caught her did save her life, but apparently also prevented a well-earned Darwin award.

 

Got to love millennials. Two of them talking loudly in  a train car about the drama of their lives. For almost an hour. “Totally.”. Then one says “Don’t tell anyone I told you this but….”. All I can do not to turn around and say ” anyone?” You’ve just told everyone within earshot.
