NBA TV had an “NBA Schedule Release Special” tonight.   Most of world going “really?” NFL going “Why didn’t we think of that?”

–

Cal is considering selling alcohol at football games to boost revenue. Makes sense, fans need drinks to ease pain of watching the Bears play.

–

Why is anyone in the planet still pitching to Giancarlo Stanton?

–

An elephant has trampled and killed an Argentinian hunter who was lining up a shot to kill it in a private wildlife area in  Namibia.  The newspaper story mentioned his “tragic death.”  Tragic?  More like mean bitch karma for another win.

–

Rick Barry today said the scrutiny President Trump is facing is “a disgrace to the world, to our country, what they’re doing.” Hmm, so for that NBA Champions visit to the White House, maybe Barry can just show up representing the team for lunch?

–

Name of guy who killed a woman & injured many others w/ his car trending on Twitter. How about we don’t use it? Just hers. #HeatherHeyer
Trump comments today on Charlottesville:  Too late, and too little. Like his hands.

So now we have it, get killed by an undocumented immigrant have the President pay multiple tributes and get a law named after you. Get deliberately run over by a White Supremacist, get a quick mention in a Presidential speech two days after the fact.

–

54 minutes to attack #MerckCEO for quitting his council, 2 days to condemn White Supremacists.

–

So did they get Trump to read anti-racism statement by promising him 2 scoops of ice cream & that he could pardon Joe Arpaio?

–

Just what would @realDonaldTrump have to do to have some of his base disavow him? Praise Hillary or Obama?

Amazing how much quicker @realDonaldTrump was today to denounce #FakeNews media compared to how long it took him to denounce neo-Nazis.

–

Open note to White Supremacists wanting publicity for yourselves and your cause.   Why risk marching? Just post your names & pictures, the internet will take care of it.

ESPN reports Florida just suspended 7 players for their opener Sept 2 against Michigan. The players, including star WR Antonio Callaway, allegedly made improper charges at the school bookstore and then sold their purchases.
Coach Jim McElwain must be furious, had the idiots waited a few weeks they he could have suspended them for game 2 against Northern Colorado.

–

This is Callaway’s third “incident” in 2 years. First an alleged sexual assault where his defense was that he said he was too stoned to have done anything, then a marijuana charge…. So time for the pool on when he will declare early for the NFL draft?   He’d fit in well with the Cowboys.

–

Marshall Faulk on Ezekiel Elliott. “Obviously, we all have to grow up in life and make mistakes, and sometimes some of those mistakes cost you dearly.”
Uh, a “mistake” might be drinking too much, or saying something stupid, or trying to get away with drugs. Hitting a woman is not a “mistake.”

–

James Allsup, one of the leaders of the Charlottesville neo-Nazi White Supremacist rally, is a recent Washington State graduate who was head of the college Republicans.
Stanford is playing WSU November 4 in Pullman. Sure hope they’re bringing the band.

–

Because of course when you play 3 baseball games in 24 hours, the 3rd game has to go extra innings. #SFGiants #Nationals

–

We must be getting into the serious part of the season. ESPN Sunday Night Baseball again featuring Red Sox vs Yankees.

–

And of course,  Sunday Night Baseball also went extra innings. But the time of game was only 3 hours and 40 minutes. Did they sneak in a pitch clock?

–

Marshawn Lynch remained seated last night during national anthem. Well, at least the Raiders don’t have to worry about him running his mouth on the subject.

–

No tweets from @realDonaldTrump Sunday. Did Ivanka tell her daughter to hide Grandpa’s phone?

–

When next American is killed by a Muslim or immigrant will Trump again decry “hatred, bigotry & violence” on many sides?

–

Guess no one told all those neo-Nazi White Supremacists that all those tiki torches were made in China.

Does it make you an old fogie when you get pissed off that a concert scheduled for 7p hasn’t started by 845p. Asking for a friend.

–

Rumors that those against McMaster in the Trump White House are trying to allege he has a drinking problem.  Except that maybe a “drinking problem” is the only way a sane person could work in the Trump White House.

–

Pence  –  “Trump clearly & unambiguously condemned bigotry, violence & hate in streets of Charlottesville.”  Uh oh,  Time to check the VP for concussions?

–

Mom of alleged Charlottesville car killer says he dropped his cat off w/ her to attend rally. Cats everywhere responding #notmyhuman

–

“If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention,” #HeatherHeyer‘s last FB post.
