Following the tainted money?

September 26, 2017

FBI says sting found multiple bribes, payouts involving Arizona, Auburn, Oklahoma State & USC. There’s corruption in NCAA basketball, I’m shocked.

–

Meanwhile, at Louisville, men’s basketball coach Rick Pitino expressed “complete shock” that his university is also involved in the investigation.

Pitino is shocked?  He’s like the guy overseeing gambling in Casablanca.

–

Auburn & USC are two of schools snared in NCAA men’s basketball sting. Tigers & Trojans fans are just glad it wasn’t their football teams.

–

 

Ah for the days when #SFGiants really and truly sucking in 2017 would have been one of things folks in Bay Area were most upset about.

–

If we got rid of national anthem before sporting events could eliminate controversy AND shorten game times. #winwin

–

Peyton Manning reportedly a “possible” 2018 candidate for U.S. Senate. Will his campaign be sponsored by Budweiser and Papa John’s?

–

Repeal of Obamacare will not come to a vote. So officially dead, again. For now. Forget Trumpcare we should call this GOP mess Zombiecare

–

AG Sessions gave a talk on free speech at Georgetown. Protesters were banned from the speech. #WhyThereIsNoSatire

 

Reportedly Khloe Kardashian is pregnant with  Cavs’ Tristan Thompson’s baby. Odds just went up  for Warriors to be disinvited again as champions  in 2019 by White House.

–

So Twitter is going to 280 characters? Waiting for the Trump tweet taking credit.

–

Trump couldn’t get Hurricane Relief to Puerto Rico as “it’s an island.” Somehow 1 of those athletes he trashes, Tim Duncan made it to USVI.

–

Trump on Puerto Rico- “It’s very tough because it’s an island.” Hawaiians praying they never need federal help while he’s in office. #WTF?

 –

New poll of 2,200 Americans found 54% knew Puerto Ricans are US citizens. Would love to see same folks polled about Hawaiians.

–

Maybe it would be simpler to learn who in the Trump White House HASN’T used personal email for government business?

–

In Palm Beach Gardens, a woman was arrested allegedly for trying to run down her lover with her Mercedes.   Her intended victim happened to be her daughter’s husband. She told police he had recently told his wife about the affair, and the “revelation ruined her relationship with her daughter.”
Back on your game, Florida.

–

From Marc Ragovin  “So it looks like Trump will no longer invite nfl or nba teams to White House celebrations. “That is really gonna affect our plans,” said nobody on the Knicks.”

Oh say can you hear?

September 26, 2017

You know, one solution to keep politics out of sports is to stop playing the anthem before games.

–

Ben Roethlisberger now says he was “unable to sleep” the night after anthem protest.   Like the young woman who accused him of raping her in bathroom?

 –

Before Trump starts “Loser Gregg Popovich” tweets hope someone tells him Pop is now coach of USA Basketball Men’s National Team.

–

Tough times for many liberals who have been turning away from football over concussions & off-field issues, but now feel a need to watch to defend civil rights.

–

Meanwhile this Tweet “All Americans R granted rights 2 peaceful protests Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable-JFK”

from that commie pinko Dale Earnhardt Jr.

 

Nine suspended Gators including WR Antonio Callaway are facing “multiple third-degree felony charges after a UF Police Department investigation into alleged credit card fraud.”
Sure glad they cleaned the program up after Urban Meyer left.

–

Anthony Weiner was sentenced today to 21 months in prison. Disappointing Democrats who hoped he had been locked up until Nov 4, 2020.

–

Who knew, Trump has made visiting White House as attractive to most basketball players as the idea of dating a Kardashian.

–

Gregg Popovich “There has to be an uncomfortable element in the discourse for anything to change.” Btw America, he’s a veteran. #Gospursgo

More from Popovich

 

.  “The bar has been lowered so far that I think it’s more important to be thinking about what to do in a more organic roots, base level Thinking about the efforts to restrict voter registration, comments that demean cultures, ethnic groups, races, women. Those sorts of things.”

“You have got a choice — we can continue to bounce our heads off the wall with his conduct or we can decide the institutions of our country are more important, that people are more important, that the decent America we thought we all had and want is more important, and that we get down to business at the grassroots level and do what we have to do.”

 

CTE-concussion story grows & GOP is silent. Now we have Trump & Texas Sen. Cornyn saying to boycott NFL over guys kneeling? #priorities

 

If you’re more disgusted by NFL players kneeling than you are by Trump attacking former POW Senator with  brain cancer, then yeah, deplorable.

–

Trump lauding hockey right now. But NHL is the pro-league with the most immigrants taking well-paying jobs from Americans.

Senators Collins and Murkowski have more cojones than most men in the Senate

–

Susan Collins – “If senators can adjust a funding formula over a weekend to help a single state, they could just as easily adjust that formula in the future to hurt that state. This is simply not the way that we should be approaching an important and complex issue.”
Sanity and logic. What concepts.
