Left Coast Sports Babe

If before the NBA season had started someone had asked Gregg Popovich with 7 games to go in the regular season, if Pop thought his young & rebuilding San Antonio Spurs team had a chance to be tied with LA Lakers, he’d have verbally clocked that reporter….

Roger Goodell left the door open to punishing both new Brown’s QB Deshaun Watson and Washington Commander’s owner Dan Snyder.

Anyone wanna bet that EITHER of them will get any significant punishment?

“When you’re a star, (or a multi-millionaire owner) they let you do it.”

Stephen Colbert – on that Oscars’ slap – clearly the most important issue to many Americans today: “It’s never okay to punch a comedian… If you really want to hurt a comedian, don’t laugh. That hurts way more than a punch.”

–

Dear media: An actor attacking a comedian because he felt his wife was being insulted is a one day story. A SCOTUS judge ruling on election cases after HIS wife attacked our democracy is a big story. Sincerely, Americans tired of this clickbait crap.

Velveeta Voldemort’s latest fundraising effort… ” “Friend, Can you believe it? They want to CENSOR my RALLY.” Who’s gonna be the one to tell him Fox News didn’t carry the last rally?

–

But who had a sitting President using burner phones on January 6 on their b*tshit bingo list?

–

And the Former Guy has committed so many crimes in broad daylight. Not just that there’s a 7 hour gap on January 6…. it’s how bad do those 7 hours have to be that even HE thought he might not be able to get away with having them public?

For those just beginning to realize how awful Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is, here’s an important bit of information – he won in 2018 by fewer than 32,500 votes out of over eight million. Don’t let ANYONE tell you your vote doesn’t matter.

–

Another example of why “Don’t Say Gay” hate bill matters, per Pete Buttigieg: “I think about what life might be like for our kids when they start school. If they were in a place like Florida, it might stop them from mentioning they had a great time over weekend with their dads.”

–

Only speaking for myself, but I’d sure be happier to share a bathroom with Pete and Chasten Buttigieg than the poor excuse for a congresswoman from Georgia.

Last week Cory Booker had an amazing joyful moment in defending Ketanji Brown Jackson. Last Sunday, Will Smith lost control and acted like an a** in defending his wife. And sadly, which one is still making headlines?

And now four straight victory for San Antonio Spurs, who moved within 1/2 game of the Los Angeles Lakers for the last play-in game spot, with 7 to play.

Lebron James possibly missing even the play-in game?

Well, good thing NBA referees don’t have any potential impact on games.

–

Women’s Final Four is set. Three #1 seeds and #2 seeds.

Now, actually some games have been close. But is parity really that bad, or are the “seeders” in Women’s college basketball much better than those for the men’s game?

–

Kyrie Irving, unrepentantly anti-vax but now able to play in New York: “I’m standing for freedom, in all facets of my life. Nobody enslaving me. I don’t want anyone telling me what to do with my life.” So next time he gets injured, Kyrie’s going to heal himself & ignore doctors?

Stephen Colbert on Kremlin’s phases of war. Phase One: We lose. Phase Two: War is over, we win. Reminds me of an old Soviet joke I heard as a child on USA car beating USSR car in a match race. Pravda headline “The Soviet car came in second, the American car was next to last.”

–

Washington Post headline “Cruz’s battle to keep Trump in power has cost him friends, sparks questions.”

Shocking, Ted Cruz HAD friends?

–

Ron DeathSantis today – “In Florida, we not only know parents have a right to be involved, we insist parents have a right to be involved.” Has it occurred to the Governor that liberals are parents too? Heck, GAYS are parents too. Hoping in Florida THEY start getting involved.

–

Underreported comment made by President Biden today, “that he doesn’t think anything anyone says has much of an impact on Vladimir Putin. “Because Putin doesn’t listen to his own advisors.” Where have we heard that before?

–

Forgot to hit “publish” last night..

No matter, apparently most of the world has forgotten to move on.

–

Apparently slugging someone on national TV because you are annoyed at a joke is a way to get past our collective ADHD.

–

Violence is wrong, period. But if anyone would have been justified in responding to hurtful words last week by taking a swing at someone it would have been Ketanji Brown Jackson with a few members of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

–

So I gather any potential scheduled roasts for Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have been canceled?

—

Reality check: A well-known husband of an actress not liking a host’s joke and deciding to throw a punch should be a one day story. A well-known wife of a SCOTUS judge not liking a country’s vote, and deciding to overthrow an election should be a big deal.

So when will Fox News demand Joe Biden take away Hunter Biden’s security clearance? Oh, wait, Joe Biden, unlike Velveeta Voldemort, didn’t gave his child a security clearance. Never mind.
