Number$ game.

Jets safety Jamal Adams was fined $21,506 for a roughing the passer penalty against Baker Mayfield.  He posted a video clip saying “This league is a damn joke!”

So how much will Adams be fined for that comment?


Congratulations to Bruce Bochy on his 2,000th  win, the SF Giants’ 74th of the season.  Worth noting Vegas oddsmakers thought Giants would fall just short with 73 wins in the entire 2019 season.

At this point SF Giants hitters are going to have to be dragged kicking and screaming on the plane out of Boston..

And despite some great moments, not the best season for SF Giants fans.  On the other hand at least the team didn’t shell out big $$$ a couple years ago to sign Kenley Jansen….

Terry Bradshaw said if he were Eli Manning after being benched that he would “pack my bags and I’d go home”
Uh, Eli has about 20 million reasons to smile on the bench.

Pittsburgh sports fans thought the week couldn’t get much worse with Ben Roethlisberger being out for the season. Pirates All-Star pitcher Felipe Vázquez “You don’t need ID to hold my beer.”

 

On a lighter note, so great to hear Downton Abbey theme song on TV again with Downton Abbey Film trailer commercials.

Hilaria Baldwin is pregnant again. So with husband Alec Baldwin this would be her fifth future ‘thoughtless little pig?”

Bill de Blasio says he’s not dropping out the Presidential race, although a recent Siena College poll had him at zero percent.. In New York City.
And some thought his eating pizza with a fork was embarrassing…

The massage therapist who accused Kevin Spacey of sexual assault has died. So are we living in a real-life House of Cards episode?

Japanese Defense Minister Taro said he has not seen any intelligence indicating Iran was behind the attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities.
Time to move Japan up in Trump insult bingo.

As Trump again spars with California, this time over vehicle emissions standards, it’s worth remembering the California Air Resources Board (CARB) was started in the 1960s by that noted liberal Ronald Reagan.

Trump yesterday ranting in California on homelessness… “I’m speaking to tenants — in some cases foreign people, foreign tenants. In many cases, they came from other countries and they moved to Los Angeles or they moved to San Francisco because of the prestige of the city, and all of a sudden they have tents.”
Gosh, wonder why he hasn’t used that rant with his “America First” rallies…

 

Wonder how many Trump construction projects get finished early…(Another reason for him to hate California.) .”Update -The runway construction at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) will be complete one week early and all runways are scheduled to reopen on September 19 at 9:00 p.m. local time.”

Moving on up?

Since Christian Yelich fractured his knee cap, Milwaukee Brewers are 7-1. As we all expected.

New England put starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn on IR with a toe injury. Now the question – which LT on a bad or mediocre team will misbehave to get himself released so he can sign with the Patriots?

Adam Vinatieri says he’s not thinking of retiring, but “I’m going to work a lot this week to get those demons so I can go clear headed ,step on the field and just do my job.”
So will he play a motivation while stepping on a cassette player?

Now it’s Cam Newton who might be out in week 3 with a foot injury. And backup Jets QB Trevor Siemian is probably out for the year wih a nasty ankle injury .  “I can be available” says Brett Favre.

 

Hurricane Humberto expected to hit Bermuda by Thursday. This will be a conundrum for Trump on how to react. It’s a foreign country, but with white people.

 

Trump in his New Mexico rally “I know a guy who hates his children…” So this is breaking news because Donald doesn’t hate the one kid he wants to date?

 

Turns out Trump fundraiser in Bay Area was at former Sun Microsystems chairman Scott McNealy’s home. Well, guess McNealy figures he doesn’t run a company any more that people can boycott.

Barack Obama on Cokie Roberts – “She was a trailblazing figure; a role model to young women at a time when the profession was still dominated by men; a constant over forty years of a shifting media landscape and changing world, informing voters about the issues of our time and mentoring young journalists every step of the way. “She will be missed – and we send our condolences to her family.”

Donald Trump – ““I never met her. She never treated me nicely. But I would like to wish her family well…She was a real professional. Never treated me well, but I certainly respect her as a professional.”

I miss having a President.
