The BIg Ten will start out the 2024 season with 18 teams

Which conference will be the first to 20?

And 12 teams in 2024 will make the playoffs.

Over under on if more than half of them will be from either the SEC or Big Ten?

Dallas Cowboys haven’t been to NFC Championship game since 1995. But Jerry Jones remains confident that there’s no one better suited for getting this done than himself.

“The reason I don’t let somebody else be the GM is because I don’t have anybody that I will let do it to actually do it right. 

Sound familiar? And yes, Jones is a Trump supporter.

A the Kroger-Albertson merger trial begins, Kroger says if deal is allowed to go through they will cut prices? Kroger gross profit for 12 months ending April 30, 2024 was $33.424B, a 3.75% increase year-over-year.

So the question, why don’t they cut prices now?

As Alaska gets closer to approval of their merger with Hawaiian Airlines, the airline quietly stopped giving free preferred seats to clients of their best travel agency partners. Mergers may help bottom lines, they almost never help consumers

Heather Cox Richardson sums it up “The momentum of the Harris-Walz campaign undermines the Big Lie that Trump is the popular choice, but the voter suppression the Big Lie justified remain.” If your vote didn’t matter, GOP wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you voting.

Ever wonder why Fox News viewers act brainwashed? This is today’s headline. “Trump team suggests debate could be canceled as Harris seeks last-minute ‘changes’”

Kamala has NEVER threatened to back out of the debate. Her campaign has said they would like a change to mic rules. Donald is the one wants out., 

–

Trump today”“Who would call (dead troops) suckers and losers?” “Who would say it? A stupid person or a person that’s mentally ill.”

When he’s right, he’s right.

A reporter asked Trump if he’d consider RFK Jr for HHS Secretary. Donald said they hadn’t talked about it but that he “knows a lot about the subject.’ Uh, why didn’t the reporter simply ask if Trump agrees with RFK Jr. on vaccines?

–

Republicans are pretending to be more upset by the fact that Tim Walz plays with dogs who are not his own, than they are by allegations that RFK Jr ate dog. (And who knows what RFK Jr did with the bear cub?)

If you’re only seeing the Twitter comments, Cory Booker absolutely did play football. Even if he wasn’t a professional player. He was recruited by Michigan, UCLA, Georgia Tech…

Yes, he played college football at Stanford. #BeatCal PS F*ck Jake Tapper

Meanwhile, another weekend closer to NFL opener on September 5.. Now, while I love sports in general and guess I understand why fans watch Preseason football, have yet to have someone really explain to me why anyone BETS on preseason football.

SF Giants let an imminently winnable game in Seattle get away, this time 4-3, but with only five hits and 0-3 with RISP (Runners in Scoring/Stranded Position?)

But at least there remains the hope of postseason joy with the Dodgers losing in the first or second round of the playoffs.

RFK Jr. says Donald Trump will announce Democrats joining campaign soon

Yep, Trump will announce Democrats joining his campaign at the same time he announces the details of his “big beautiful healthcare plan.”

–

Let’s make it simple. Can some journalist please just ask Donald Trump if he agrees with RFK Jr. on vaccines?

–

And as JD Vance increasingly looks like a major mistake as Trump’s running mate why isn’t media making a bigger deal of the fact that Donald is 78 and showing signs of age, If Trump is elected Vance would be a heartbeat away from the Presidency.

–

Kamala Harris has popular plans for 2025, but media attacks her continually over those plans not having enough details. Donald Trump has very unpopular plans with Project 2025, but media ignores that he pretends not to know any of the details.

CNN headline “Trump team prepares for sprint to November with ‘all hands on deck’ approach.” Would it be wrong to add the adjective “teeny tiny” to all those hands on decK?
