Copy not right?

September 11, 2019

LeBron James has been denied in his attempt to trademark the term “Taco Tuesday.” Gosh, I hope he’ll still be able to feed his family.

–

Ohio State’s application to trademark “The” has been denied. Well, even Notre Dame thought “The” idea was ridiculously egocentric.

–

ESPN reports ex-Arizona assistant men’s basketball coach “Book” Richardson told undercover FBI agents that he paid $40,000 to a high school coach to make sure Rawle Alkins was academically eligible.
Can’t wait to see how hard NCAA slaps the Wildcats on the wrist for this one.

–

So Bob Baffert apparently got caught using a PED with #Justify and officials covered up the failed drug test. The real question, how many more times did he not get caught?

 

Regulators say they decided to drop inquiry on Justify after the Triple Crown with the reasoning that the colt’s positive PED could have come from eating contaminated food. A whole lot of ballplayers are going “Why didn’t I think of that?”

–

Guessing more Americans might be upset that Team USA lost in FIBA basketball tournament if most Americans cared about any international tournament except the Olympics.

(and under “most Americans” – include all the NBA players who bailed.)

 

Fox News is all over one set of  parents of one 9-11 victim criticizing Rep. Omar for using the words “some people did something.” But I must have missed their even more scathing reaction to the idea of inviting the Taliban to Camp David the week of 9-11.

–

Trump said today that US Food and Drug Administration would be putting out “some very strong recommendations” regarding the use of flavored e-cigarettes in “a couple of weeks.
Possible translation, he’s going to wait for Mitch McConnell to tell him how to exempt Kentucky companies?

–

Trump talking about Melania wanting a flavored-tobacco vaping ban “That’s how the First Lady involved. She’s got a son — together — that’s a beautiful young man, & she feels very very strongly about it.” So is Barron the new Tiffany?

–

 

Don’t get me wrong, good to see John Bolton gone. But T.S. Eliot was right “The last temptation is the greatest treason. To do the right thing, for the wrong reason.”

Warranted?

September 11, 2019

Antonio Brown saga keeps getting worse. “I feel so sorry for the Patriots” said no one outside New England.

–

And now it’s alleged rape and sexual assault.    Maybe AB was more compatible with Big Ben than he thought.

 

Browns WR Odell Beckham Jr. wore a $190,000 luxury watch during the season opener and says he plans to keep wearing it.
Generation Z and some millennials are thinking either – a – “What’s a watch?, or b – “how do you get those solid gold Apple watches?”

–

Apparently some unhappy Browns fans sprayed beer on Titans CB Logan Ryan at Cleveland’s First Energy Stadium last. Sunday.
Well, at least that won’t happen in 49ers’ Levi’s Stadium this year. Beer is FAR too expensive to waste.

(Though if OBJ is going to keep wearing that expensive watch, he had better hope the home fans don’t turn on him.)

–

Kevin Durant gave an interview where he talked about never going back to the Bay Area, and complained about “the circus of the NBA,”

Hey, in the end, it’s a job. And all of us have moments when we’re not thrilled with our jobs. But $164 million over 4 years has to soften the pain a little?

–

Really crappy news about Christian Yelich.   Have to seriously wonder though, did the extra juice in 2019 baseballs contribute to that foul ball fracturing his kneecap?

–

Abruptly firing your National Security Advisor by tweet to show there is no turmoil in the White House…
Wow, almost as good as tweeting in all caps “NOTHING TO DO WITH ME” to prove you had nothing to do with Air Force and Pence being told to spend big taxpayer $$$ to stay at your resorts.

–

Trump says he fired Bolton, Bolton is tweeting reporters in real-time, including on Fox and Friends, saying he quit….
And here most of us thought to see pathetically embarrassing breakups on reality TV we had to watch stuff like “The Bachelorette.”

–

Give Donald Trump credit. Many said it couldn’t be done to give John Bolton the moral high road.

–

This Bolton-Trump breakup is so crazy and messy how long until someone starts talking about sex in a windmill?

–

So how long until Trump calls for firing the idiot who hired Bolton?

Saints be praised.

September 10, 2019

Yeah, it’s only a game. But as I tell people… even when you watch a thrilling movie or TV show, or read a book, many people already know the outcome. And even when you think a game is over….twice…that’s not true in sports.

–

Did Drew Brees get 10 years younger in the 2nd half?

 

In the end it didn’t matter, but officials admitted later they had taken 15 seconds too many off the clock as Saints tried at end of of first half. So NFL referees at least were already in midseason form.

–

Just one night, but Raiders looked like they missed Antonio Brown like a fish misses a bicycle.

 

A report in The Atlantic says that Trump, less than thrilled with Jared, has complained that Ivanka could have married QB Tom Brady instead. Well, as much as I am not fond of Patriots it WOULD have been less damaging to the country.

 

Shortly after winning  U.S. Open Sunday, Canadian tennis star Bianca Andreescu actually apologized for winning, acknowledging that the U.S. crowd would have preferred to see Serena Williams triumph.  Is this the most Canadian sports story ever?

 

Sarah and Todd Palin are divorcing. Look, it’s never a happy thing when a marriage breaks up. But for all GOP family values BS, note that the Obamas and Clintons are both on their first marriages.

–

If Wilbur Ross was ordered to fire people who contradicted POTUS about Dorian heading for Alabama, what does Donald do with people who contradict him on SERIOUS issues?

–

Trump defended his decision to remove Bahamian men, women and children, who had passports but not visas,  from ferries this weekend on their way to the US after Hurricane Dorian.  He said they could be “some very bad people, very bad gang members & very, very bad drug dealers.”

Uh, except United States policy says  “Bahamians can enter U.S. w/o visa by providing passport & proof of no criminal record.

 

–

Donald Trump said today he would release an “extremely complete” report on his personal finances before 2020 election. Will it include details on that Trump ice rink he is building in hell?

 

The National Rifle Association is suing San Francisco and SF Board of Supervisors for passing a resolution declaring them a domestic terrorist organization. The lawsuit says SF could hurt NRA’s business relationships and is “interfering” in their exercise of rights.
On the other hand, after Gilroy, El Paso, Dayton, Odessa’s etc, there are many people who might speak in support of San Francisco’s resolution, except they are now, like, you know, dead.

Two out of three’s not bad

September 8, 2019

SF Giants were themselves shut out today in Los Angeles. But  didn’t we all have the Dodgers shut out Saturday for the first time since May 19 – in a game started by SF Giants ace Tyler Beede?

 

 

Wow. Some say SF Giants and fans are overly greedy for being unhappy after 3 titles in 5 years. Red Sox fire President Dave Dombrowski one year after a World Series for being 76-67. (Which might get them a Wild Card spot in NL.)

–

New Orleans Saints didn’t even play NFL opening Sunday and they are guaranteed  to be no worst than tied for first after their Monday Night Football opener.

(all three other NFC South teams lost.)

–

Kansas City’s star WR Tyreek Hill, who was not suspended by NFL over allegations he abused his 3-yr-old son, was injured in the Chiefs opener. So will mean bitch karma aim for Antonio Brown next?

 

–

And yeah, Tom Brady hasn’t raped or assaulted anyone. But he and Patriots are about only team who can get me semi-rooting for Big Ben and the Steelers by comparison.

–

Only week 1 and the Jets are in midseason form.

–

Yeah, I’m #VoteBlueNoMatterWho. But have we really learned nothing about even considering turning reins of the country over to a rich white man with no elected political experience who says “I alone can fix it?” #TomSteyer

–

There’s a crowd-surfing video of Andrew Yang going viral. Maybe someone can get Trump jealous enough to try it at one of his rallies?

–

Trump actually retweeted a picture of him with Alabama, including not only his famous Sharpie editing,  but also a cat with a laser pointer meme.  Okay, that’s something we KNOW is fake. Can anyone imagine a cat getting within 10 feet of trump?

 

–

So we’re gone from “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” to POTUS so afraid of being caught in a lie he needs to put pressure on NOAA and US Weather Service.

–

Maybe the real reason Trump canceled his meeting with Taliban. They refused to stay at Doonbeg?

 

I miss the days when “The Grifters” was just a movie and not a documentary on the Trump White House.

Personally foul?

September 7, 2019

Well, at least Oakland Raiders were undefeated in the Antonio Brown era.

–

Antonio Brown has signed with New England. As if we didn’t already have enough reason to hate the Patriots.

–

 

But okay, after all his antics, first Antonio Brown gets Jon Gruden to say he would play in the Raiders season opener. Then Brown gets his contract voided to he can immediately sign with the Super Bowl champion Patriots.  So let this be a lesson to all kids, no matter how much talent you have sportsmanship and attitude are what really matter. Oh, wait…

 

–

This whole Antonio Brown situation was so egregious, have to wonder how soon Roger Goodell will take action and punish the Saints?

–

Been a tough year for SF Giants fans. On the other hand, have to enjoy seeing Kershaw and the Dodgers Friday night in playoff form.

–

As the Tide rolled over New Mexico State, good to see that Alabama players weren’t too badly affected by the devastating hurricane in their state.

–

Took Michigan two overtimes to beat Army today.  If Army had won would Trump some how have taken credit?

 

–

Howard Schultz says he is ending his Presidential campaign. Well, it always seemed like a tall order, and rather grande-iose.

–

Trump got NOAA to release a statement backing his Alabama gaffe. Sigh. NOAA is more reality-based when they aid NORAD in tracking Santa Claus.

 

Amy Kobluchar  “As President, I pledge that my Vice President will never stay at my resort. Oh that’s right, I don’t own a resort.”

I miss having a President with a sense of humor.

 

So Trump admits he was going to host the Taliban for the 18th anniversary of September 11?
Anyone but me occasionally think he REALLY is tired of being President and wants to keep acting out until even Republicans say enough?

–

Maybe the real reason Trump canceled his meeting with Taliban. They refused to stay at Doonbeg?

Hard headed?

September 5, 2019

Antonio Brown may have solved his helmet problem, and now he’s apparently getting suspended by Oakland.  Who had “before the season started? in the pool.

 

Wait, the Steelers actually got two draft picks in exchange for the Raiders taking Antonio Brown off their hands?

 

After blowing a 6 run lead in the 9th, ESPN headline “Mets bullpen bounces back” in an 8-4 win today against Nationals.
Or is it possible Washington hitters were just exhausted?

–

Nothing is certain but death, taxes, and that the SF Giants should never pitch to Paul Goldschmidt.

–

Mayor de Blasio says he may drop out of presidential race in October. WTF? Forget eating pizza with a fork, when has a true New Yorker waited a month for ANYTHING?

–

So let me get this straight, “Moscow Mitch” says he won’t allow a vote on gun control unless “the President” backs a bill.
But when the last President chose and backed a Supreme Court nominee, he wouldn’t allow a vote either.
Hypocrisy much?

–

GOP Congressman Dan Crenshaw complains “With universal background checks, I wouldn’t be able to let my friends borrow my handgun.”  Some statements don’t even need a punchline.

But hey, so does Crenshaw loan his car to friends too?  Whether or not they have a license?

 

 

Imagine if after saying he’d campaigned in all 57 states, Barack Obama had insisted on showing us doctored maps showing there really were 57 states.

–

Did Donald Trump think he wouldn’t be caught altering the National Weather Service hurricane map?
Well, he’s not the Sharpie-est tool in the box.

–

Fox White House reporter John Roberts on Trump’s efforts to justify his Alabama hurricane mistake – “You can see somebody with a Sharpie or some other writing instruments, added a little bit to the cone of uncertainty, which was not a part of the official forecast.””

Uh oh, someone is not going to be happy with State TV.

 

 

So who had the National Weather Service in Trump insult bingo?

 

So how long until Trump issues a White House invitation for Alabama hurricane survivors?

High and dry?

September 3, 2019

Florida State coach Willie Taggart says he thinks his team might have lost in part to Boise State because they weren’t properly hydrated.
If only the game was in a state where they invented Gatorade?

–

After weeks of drama, Ezekiel Elliott’s agent says a deal with his client and the Cowboys is ‘very close.”

I really don’t care, do u?

–

 

SF Giants have mostly played their way out of Wild Card race.  And Tuesday 1-0 loss was rough on fans.    On the other hand, not as rough as Mets blowing a 10-4 lead in the 9th.

–

Last year’s SF Giants were near the wild card race until September too, when Pablo Sandoval also ended up out for the year.  #Coincidence?

 

Travel rant. Do you know how hard it is in a small country like Ireland to be 180 miles from Dublin?
Mike Pence managed to do it, by staying at Trump’s money-losing resort at taxpayer expense. And also at taxpayer expense flying back and forth from the West Coast of the country to the East Coast.
Seriously, LIVERPOOL, England is about 20 miles closer by air to Dublin than Doonbeg.

–

Pence’s Chief of Staff said, Trump said “‘Well, you should stay at my place.’ ”

“It wasn’t like a, ‘You must.’ It wasn’t like, ‘You have to…”

Right because who would feel pressured at all when replacing your boss on a business when they “suggest” you do something?

–

 

Latest mass shooter in Odessa apparently failed a federal background check, but got his weapon in a “private sale.”
Now, imagine if US said  (just for one example), “To save lives, we’re now going to regulate opioids more carefully, but hey, if you buy them privately get as many as you want.”

–

Kroger announced they will no longer allow open-carry in stores. What a shame for all those who felt they absolutely needed to be armed to get the best peaches.

And PSA for those who don’t live near a Kroger.  “Our longstanding policy is that firearms are not permitted in our stores – with the exception of law enforcement personnel. Safeway/Albertsons does not permit weapons of any kind in our stores.”

Millions of the rea$on$.

September 2, 2019

Since college football is “amateur athletics,” as a fan, you can’t even buy a player a sandwich if you see him around town, but Notre Dame and Louisville can play on a bleeping Monday night during the school week because ESPN pays big $$$ to both schools….
Enough to make you long for the purity of pro wrestling.

 

 

Btw, how bad was the hit on Stanford QB K.J. Costello?    Even ESPN, which barely acknowledges college teams in California, wrote this   – “Costello took a shot to the head while sliding — the hit somehow didn’t draw a targeting penalty — and didn’t return.”

–

Brett Favre will apparently appear in a marketing promo this week for the NFL’s SNF opener featuring the Packers and Bears. Maybe he hopes the exposure will help increase his chances for another comeback?

–

Another reason I really like Velander (and have only rooted again him once, October 2012),Justin said he’d be lying if he weren’t thinking about joining the company of pitchers who have thrown at least 3 no-hitters.
How many players these days could name more than one of them?

–

Remember when Tony Romo was dating Jessica Simpson and Cowboys fans thought it adversely affected his play?
Guess Kate Upton isn’t hurting Justin Verlander any.

–

Meanwhile, as much as Pac 12 fans hate the really late night games, USC fans have to be thrilled most of the country was asleep Saturday night when they almost blew a game to Fresno State.

–

Early news reports out of Odessa Saturday had two shooters. So just imagine if a bunch of armed civilians had decided to get in their cars and chase after the killer. Wonder how many of them would be dead now too?

–

So a neighbor of the latest mass shooter in Odessa says she called police last month after he threatened her with a rifle. And that he would frequently shoot animals in his yard. But the police didn’t respond. Right, just another white guy exercising his “god-given” rights.”

–

Since Donald Trump never misses an opportunity to praise himself why isn’t he talking about his great golf games this weekend while helping US prepare for Hurricane Dorian?

–

From a new memoir, Call Sign Chaos, written by former Trump Defense Secretary James Mattis with former Reagan Assistant Defense Secretary Bing West.
“lf you haven’t read hundreds of books, you are functionally illiterate, and you will be incompetent, because your personal experiences alone aren’t broad enough to sustain you.”

Rough niht?

August 31, 2019

fiht

And this is the school so many rich people paid big bucks to bribe their children’s way into…?

–

Meanwhile, Northwestern played Stanford in the Nerd Bowl.  Wonder if officials were ever tempted to say it was 3rd and 3.14159.

–

If Oregon hadn’t choked away tonight’s matchup with Auburn, SEC would have lost five games in one day…. Just saying.

–

Baseball in 2019. Minnesota Twins hit six home runs in one game….and LOSE 10-7. If the ball were any more juiced it would be sponsored by Minute Maid.

–

Lebron James is trying to trademark “Taco Tuesday.”    Because he’s the only one who thought of it?  Other than almost every Mexican food chain and taqueria in the country?  WTF?

–

Many of us have different choices in next year’s election. Can we all agree that any fundraising email marked “urgent” triggers the “delete” button?

–

What customs officials originally thought was a “huge drugs bust” at Gatwick Airport in London turned out to be vegan cake mix.

Now, some vegan cakes are criminally bad…but yeah, this did seem like overkill.

–

The first person shot by today’s mass killer was a police officer during a attempted traffic stop. But tell me again how arming kindergarten teachers will keep our children safe?

 

Guess the optics weren’t good for Trump to spend weekend at Bedminster with Dorian approaching so he sneaked off to golf from Camp David.
Sunday morning will Donald have a moment of silence for Odessa victims on the first tee?

–
Trump had a meltdown today about “Disgusting and foul mouthed Omarosa.” So why doesn’t he fire the idiot who hired her?
–
Trump RTs a lot of stuff on Dorian, including a Red Cross tweet praising military spouses who volunteer. This at the same time he denies citizenship to military children born overseas AND deports military spouses. He has no shame. There is no bottom.

Treading water.

August 30, 2019

As SF Giants, with a record right around .500  decide how big an offer to tender Madison Bumgarner, hope they look at team record when he starts since June 20 – 11 and 2.

–

Arizona Diamondbacks have now set a major league mediocrity record by being within 2 games of .500 for 60 games.
Some may snicker. But Orioles fans haven’t seen within 2 game of .500 since opening week.’

–

Seattle Seahawks waived former Broncos first round pick QB Paxton Lynch, in favor of keeping Gino Smith as Russell Wilson’s backup.

But hey, Lynch will still probably get an offer this season before Colin Kaepernick.

 

Trump did seem particularly unhinged today. Is he worried about Mar-A-Lago? Or did someone tell him that even though he canceled his Poland trip it would be bad optics this weekend to go golfing?

 

 

Trump, asked if he was worried about Mar-A-Lago with Hurricane Dorian “You know, I haven’t even thought about it until the question was just broached a little while ago. Yeah, it would look like Mar-a-Lago is dead center.”
“I haven’t even’t thought about it.”
Two words. Yeah. Right.

–

Politico reports that Trump personal aide Madeleine Westerhout was fired for gossiping about Trump and his family – “and that the president did not like being in pictures with Tiffany because he perceived her as overweight.”
Really-really-really round pot, meet less-round kettle.

–

Tiffany Trump is a student at Georgetown Law School. If only she had picked a profession where she could someday get back at her father…

–

On a brighter note, Trump’s comments about Tiffany have made millions of American dads feel better about their own parenting skills.

–

White House says Trump faked phone call with Chinese leaders “to project optimism that might boost markets,” and it barely makes the news cycle.

Meanwhile, for most of us, attempted market manipulation is a felony.

–

So the same week Trump attacks Comey for releasing information even Barr’s DOJ wouldn’t indict him over, he tweets out a classified picture from Iran even his Pentagon says he shouldn’t have… Are we great yet?

Actually keeping score?

August 29, 2019

Ok. I get that some people think I’m a little obsessed to be stressed about Democratic Presidential primaries this early. And yet there are folks who are seriously stressed about the scores of week 4 pre-season NFL football.

–

With back-to-back home runs today, Minnesota Twins broke the major league record season for most home runs on the road. which was 138. And there’s a full month left in the season.
But sure, Barry Bonds is the one whose home run total should have an asterisk…

–

At least for remainder of season can 2019 SF Giants officially retire the term “home field advantage?

–

Two weeks after Chris Davis had a dugout confrontation with manager Brandon Hyde, Orioles reliever Richard Bleier and 3rd-base coach Jose David Flores also ended up in a public shouting match in the dugout.
Baltimore fans just wish the team would show that much energy on the field.

–

Alex Trebek is back at work taping the new season of “Jeopardy!,” five months after being diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

“What is really good news?”

–

 

Travel rant.  Austrian Airlines and Lufthansa are offering a scheduled LEGAL connection between a Vienna to Frankfurt flight and a Frankfurt to San Francisco flight that is 45 minutes!?!
So will transfer assistance be provided by flying pig?

–

The latest wannabe mass shooter at High Point University told police he was trying to get into a fraternity and that “if his roommate got into a fraternity and he didn’t, he had a plan to kill his roommate and himself.”
But no, we don’t have an epidemic of white male privilege.

–

 

Interesting timing. Trump wants G7 at Mar-a-Lago and mean bitch Karma along with Mother Nature remind him. “Dude, it’s hurricane season.”

 

Well, since most bugs can’t swim Hurricane Dorian might take care of the Doral bed bug problem.

–

Trump today canceled his trip to Poland.   Guess it’s just as well Trump had already canceled Danish part of European trip. Does anyone think Mother Pence would have let Mike have dinner with the very attractive Danish Prime Minister?

 

 

Does anyone think Trump would have canceled his trip if he were scheduled to go to Buckingham Palace? Or to one of his rallies?  Or to one of his golf resorts?

Getting closer?

August 28, 2019

As we approach NFL preseason week 4, would anyone like to explain why there IS an NFL preseason week 4?

–

 

Justin Verlander, talking about his ejection yesterday while Astros were leading 9-0, after a close 2-2 pitch was called a ball. Got to love the understatement of the last sentence. “I thought it was a strike. He told me he thought it was a ball. Went back and forth a little bit. Turned my back and expressed one more time I didn’t think it was outside. Probably could have used better language when I said that.”

 

 

Two airlines in Australian airlines are prohibiting all 15-inch Apple Macbook Pros from being transported in the jets’ cargo holds. Okay, with all due respect, who is stupid enough to put a laptop in checked baggage?

–

Give Kirsten Gillibrand credit – she may never have broken 1% in the polls, but she has a much better grasp of reality than fellow New Yorker Bill De Blasio.

–

Alan Dershowitz has now declared himself a ‘victim of the MeToo movement.” Guessing someone hasn’t gotten any invites to Martha’s Vineyard.

–

Sasha Obama is going to be a freshman this year at Michigan.
How long until Donald Trump declares he’s always been a fan of “THE” Ohio State University?

 

More Trump “We are tracking closely tropical storm Dorian as it heads, as usual, to Puerto Rico. ”
And now it looks like Dorian will have maximum strength when it hits FLORIDA. Add to the list of women p*ssed at Trump – Mother Nature?

 

–

This one sadly, may not be that hard to figure out.
Trump now says children born overseas to US Military serving outside US won’t get automatic citizenship.
Senator John McCain was born while his parents were stationed in Panama.

–

Some people have a hard time figuring why Trump advocates so many deliberately cruel policies against immigrants, minorities and poor people.
What if cloaking cruelty towards people his supporters dislike under the guise of patriotism IS the point?

Slower than a speeding bullet

August 27, 2019

Submarine pitcher Tyler Rogers made his major league debut at Oracle Park Tuesday night, pitching a 1-2-3 inning with most pitches in the 70s (MPH)   So who needs a 95 MPH fastball.

submarine

–

Rob Gronkowski “Football was bringing me down.”
So does this make him an honorary Redskins fan?

–

Fox Sports reporting that an unnamed NFL team reached out to Carli Lloyd with an offer to play in a preseason game this week.
Not sure if Carli will play in a real game, but guessing she won’t double-doink the ball off the crossbars

–

Love it. Young 20-somethings on train who work for some big company near Palo Alto are complaining about their employer and whining that bosses act like their parents. Uh…

–

Your reminder that Senator Tom Cotton, who is pushing so hard to buy Greenland, voted AGAINST hurricane relief for Puerto Rico.

 

William Barr is planning a $30,000 private holiday party at the Trump hotel in DC.  Now, I know many Americans may not understand the details of the emoluments clause. But you would think the US attorney would.

–

New Orleans is the most liberal part of Louisiana. So you just KNOW if Katrina happened on Trump’s watch he’d have complained about sending them money too.

–

Trump now whining about Puerto Rico and $$$ “Wow! Yet another big storm heading to Puerto Rico. Will it ever end?”

Has anyone told him Greenland is an island too?

–

After Trump’s heartless “will it ever end” tweet about Dorian approaching Puerto Rico, a new model shows center of storm could end up near West Palm Beach.
Is it possible mean bitch karma and Mother Nature are looking together at a map showing Mar-A-Lago?

–

Trump tweet also refers to his failing Trump Doral National MIAMI resort as “perfectly located (for the next G-7).”
“Perfectly located?” For a summer meeting? Heck, Donald doesn’t even go to his beloved Mar-A-Lago in summer.

–

And finally look, been in the travel industry for decades. If a hotel has a major PR disaster the way to get past it is apologize profusely, offer to make it up to guests affected, and say what you are doing or have done to fix the problem. Whether it’s a racist staff member, something like Legionnaire’s disease, or bedbugs,
What you do NOT do is deny the problem ever happened and accuse your accusers. #CantFixStupid
#TrumpBedBugs

Deflated balls?

August 26, 2019

A Harvard study found that former American football players who suffered concussions are more likely to develop low testosterone levels and erectile dysfunction in later life.  Forget CTE, this might be what finally kills pro football.

–

After Houston talk show host Rick Kamla yesterday called Andrew Luck, who went to high school in the area, a “quitter” and a “joke” in a tweet, today he apologized and said he used a “terrible choice of words.”
Translation, Luck retired, I don’t want to be fired.

–

Anyone but me not only a sports fan but also REALLY don’t care about Antonio Brown and his helmet?

–

Chiefs sign Matt Moore, who retired after 2017 season, as a backup QB after Chad Henne broke his ankle.
Now, I’ve never been a huge Kaepernick fan, especially since he says it’s not worth voting, but who’s going to get signed next before him? Brett Favre, Tim Tebow?

–

This Sunday there were three malls, including the Great Mall in Milpitas, California, with shooting scares.  But aside from how terrifying these episodes are, how long until millions of Americans just decide they feel safer only doing online shopping? As if retail isn’t hurting enough.

–

Former Maricopa county Sheriff Joe Arpaio was convicted for criminal contempt of court over a racial profiling case and pardoned by Trump in 2017. How he’s running again for Sheriff in 2020.
Even Mississippi and Florida are going “How nuts does he think Arizona voters are?”

–

Trump this morning claimed Melania has “gotten to know” North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. So another useless lie? Or is he confusing Melania and Ivanka. #WishfulThinking

–

Trump today, claiming he’s an “environmentalist. “I want clean air. I want clean water. “I want a wealthy country. I want a spectacular country, with jobs, with pensions…and that’s what we’re getting.”
Yeah, when I was about five I wanted a flying pony.

–

Can anyone imagine how apoplectic GOP would have been if Obama even proposed having G7 in Hawaii because it was close to where he grew up? Let alone at a place he owned.

–

Another thought about 2020 G7. They are held generally in the summer. Having graduated from Lake Brantley High school near Orlando, outdoors in early June, I can attest that even at 7a no human being wants to be in Florida that time of year

–

So Trump feels the need to deny that he asked about nuking hurricanes but not that he says windmills cause cancer?

Without a little bit of Luck

August 25, 2019

Colts fans must feel as shocked and betrayed as if someone stole their team in the middle of the night.

.

Wonder how many fans in Indianapolis who booed Andrew Luck as a coward for retiring would cheer if the Colts signed Colin Kaepernick in his place.

 

But yes, your reminder, Colin Kaepernick is still available.

–

Pablo Sandoval to have Tommy John surgery. Wonder if he’ll recover in time to pitch next season.

–

Patriots TE Lance Kendricks now joins Benjamin Watson on the suspended list, and safety Patrick Chung has been arrested on a cocaine charge. Gosh, whoever thought Bill Belichick would have so many players doing something illegal?

Tennessee Volunteers sophomore CB Bryce Thompson arrested for misdemeanor domestic assault after he allegedly threatened to “slap the s— out of” a woman and to “shoot up the school.”
Since Thompson was a Freshman All-American and led the team in interceptions last year, how long until someone decides he’s a nice kid who deserves a second chance?

–

Meanwhile, NCAA has put Mississippi State football on probation for academic cheating. Well, good to know they’ve punished the only problem school in the SEC.

–

With about 5 weeks left in MLB season, Baltimore GM Mike Elias has fired 11 people in front office and scouting department. He says it’s “to provide those who lost their jobs a jump at getting back into the market.”
Because don’t all other teams want to snatch up talent from the Orioles?

–

On Trump tariffs, “This is not the way to proceed. Apart from everything else, those who support the tariffs are at risk of incurring the blame for the downturn in the global economy, irrespective of whether or not that is true.”
This sentence from that noted voice of reason Boris Johnson!!??

–

Trump at G7  “The question I was asked most today by fellow World Leaders, who think the USA is doing so well and is stronger than ever before, happens to be, “Mr. President, why does the American media hate your Country so much? Why are they rooting for it to fail?””
Uh, would he like to name ONE of those world leaders?

–

How long until Trump claims the Amazon rainforest fires are the fault of Jeff Bezos?

–

Joe Walsh says he will primary Donald Trump in 2020.  Let me be very clear, I agree with Joe Walsh on very little, and disagree with him strongly on guns and a woman’s right to choose.
But I believe he is a sane person who loves this country. And cannot say the same about Trump.

Tying knots

August 24, 2019

Olympic gold medal skier Lindsey Vonn and current NHL star P.K. Subban are getting married. Do we call this yet another missed cut for Tiger Woods?

–

Dwight Howard has signed with Los Angeles Lakers, and ESPN reports they have told him “Disrupt this team — and you’ll be gone.”
Over-under on how long he’ll last?

–

Team USA just lost to Australia in basketball. Can we blame Trump?

Miami 19, Philadelphia 11. Wait, I know the Raiders and Panthers played in Winnipeg, but I thought Marlins Park was baseball only.

–

So the real question at G7 France – Who will Trump insult first?

–

Seth Moulton has dropped out of the Presidential Race. All together now “Who?”

–

Amazing how same people who insist the most left-wing members of Congress are the “face of the Democratic party,” somehow don’t make the same statement about Steve King being the face of the GOP.

–

Got to love it, the Stable Genius is tweeting that “Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China…”
And he’s tweeting from a iPhone!

–

Meanwhile, I am getting regular fundraising emails from Bernie Sanders whose campaign seems to think I want a Bernie baseball card or baseball shirt. Uh, yeah, I’m “Vote Blue No Matter Who 2020” but otherwise….I’d ALMOST rather wear a Dodger shirt. Sorry.

 

–

Jean Cramer, a Marysville, Michigan city council candidate, said she wants to keep the town “as white as possible,” and added a “husband and wife need to be the same race. Same thing with kids. That’s how it’s been from the beginning of, how can I say, when God created the heaven and the earth. He created Adam and Eve at the same time.”
Uh if that’s literally true then ALL kids are descended from their children and thus products of incest. #WTF?
(and actually, there are no pictures of Adam nor Eve…. who’s to say they were the same race? A creator can go for diversity too.)

 

Finally, Limerick Time. Because, why not?
There once was a President Trump
Who expected the whole world to jump.
For his thoughts that were bad,
and really quite sad.
Which he tweeted while taking a dump.

Punishments and maybe crimes.

August 23, 2019

 

New England safety Patrick Chung reported has been arrested and will be charged with of cocaine possession, This being the Patriots, let’s see how NFL makes sure any jail time or suspension is scheduled for after 2020 Super Bowl.

 

Baltimore Orioles pitchers gave up 259th home run of 2019, now breaking single-season record set by 2016 Reds.
With over a month left in season 300 is CLEARLY in sight.
Just imagine if the team played at Great American Ballpark or Coors?

–

Wait, now Starbucks announced that Pumpkin Spice Latte is returning Aug. 27. Along with Christmas decorations? WTF?

–

QANTAS plans to start a New York to Sydney flight, but first they will do test flights to study what happens to health of flight crews and passengers when they spend 19 hours on a plane.
Will the tests include being in a middle seat with crying babies on both sides?

–

Welcome to the USA. Have a client who has been sitting on the ground at SFO on an Air Canada plane for over 90 minutes after landing waiting for a gate…
Are we great yet?

–

So why did Sarah Huckabee Sanders just now join Fox News? Was she waiting to see if she could beat out Sean Spicer for DWTS?

–

Sean Spicer heads to “Dancing With The Stars.” Meanwhile Sarah Huckabee Sanders heads to Fox News “Dancing with the Truth.”

–

Even “Wag the Dog” thought when the President started a fake conflict it had to be over Albania. Guess they thought no one would believe…. GREENLAND?!!

–

Tom Cotton, defending Trump. “pointed several times to President Harry Truman’s attempts to buy Greenland from Denmark” in 1946.
Uh, President Harry Truman also proposed a universal health care program in 1945. …

–

So what’s next, Trump picks a fight with England when he decides he wants Queen Elizabeth to sell him his ancestral homeland of Scotland?

 

Really really miss the days when you could get on a flight without Wi-Fi for 5 hours and not anticipating landing with the thought “WTF did POTUS do now?”

Outta here

August 21, 2019

Baltimore Orioles just tied record of 258 for most home runs allowed in season, set by 2016 Cincinnati Reds who play at the Little League field known as “Great American Ballpark.” Mariners, Angels, Yankees, and Phillies are all on pace to break the record too.
But no, the ball isn’t juiced.

–

How juiced is the 2019 MLB baseball? If Duane Kuiper were playing now he’d have hit TWO home runs.

–

Houston Astros were one of the largest favorites in MLB game ever when Justin Verlander took mound against the Detroit Tigers tonight.

And they lost 2-1.  They also lost in extra innings as huge favorites to the Orioles recently.. And then wonder what the odds were when Verlander started WS Game 1 in 2012 against SF Giants and Barry Zito?

Maybe the Houston should beg Vegas to make them longshots to win the World Series?

–

Sean Spicer on #DWTS? Because he has so much experience Dancing with the Truth?

–

I’m so old that I remember when Ted Cruz falsely claimed in his Presidential campaign that he “had a president in the White House who has a messiah complex.”
And now that we have one who actually DOES…..?

–

If Alec Baldwin on SNL as Trump described himself as “King of Israel,” many Republicans would complain the show had gone too far.
Yet Trump does it for real and GOP just shrugs.

–

Trump this morning referred to PM of Denmark as “nasty,” to himself as “King of Israel” and also “the chosen one.”
At this point beginning to think that anyone who doesn’t think he’s pathological is themselves pathological.

–

So where are all those in GOP who lost their collective sh*t over Obama’s executive orders now that Trump says he’s “very seriously” looking at trying to change the Constitution by executive order to eliminate birthright citizenship?
Asking for a country.

–

The man who referred to Mayor of London as a “stone cold loser,” Justin Trudeau as “dishonest and weak, and to Africa as having “shithole countries” now responds to Danish PM’s saying his proposal to buy Greenland is “absurd” by calling her “nasty.”
Are we great yet?

 

So if Governor Gavin Newsom calls Trump “absurd” does that mean that Donald will call off all future trips to California? Oh please oh please…

You go, for the uprights, girl!

August 20, 2019

Women’s World Cup star Carli Lloyd,  an Eagles fan,  hit a number of field goals at Philadelphia camp Tuesday, including a 55-yarder.  Well, Lloyd might root for the Eagles, but would she sign a contract with the Bears?

–
Even Terrell Owens is thinking Antonio Brown is a prima donna.

 

Now would be a good time for Colin Kaepernick to say that upon further reflection, he thinks that it’s an absolute necessity to vote.

–

A Harvard study indicates a chemical in cannabis may have
“major impact” as a treatment for pancreatic cancer. This could be the best news for pot smokers since the invention of Doritos.

–

McDonalds has a new “McCafe it Forward” promotion with free coffee cards customers can give to someone who has been nice to them.
And millions of Americans are thinking “McDonald’s coffee?” Shouldn’t acts of kindness be rewarded not punished?

 

Yes, as a woman i like to believe we are the smarter sex. And then I read that SEVEN of us have decided to marry Larry King.

–

Bill de Blasio, who says he’s staying in, thinks the Presidential race is fluid “There is not, in the end I think, a sense among Democratic voters that they are secure where they want to go.”
True, but they’re pretty secure they don’t want to vote for HIM.

–

Trump after Gilroy, El Paso and Dayton “There’s a great appetite for tightening background checks.
Trump yesterday “we do have a lot of background checks right now.”
So a sad congratulations to all those who had “about a week” in the pool.

–

Seven Puerto Rican Women who work at a Department of Health clinic in Florida who were hired because they are bilingual, say they have been threatened with firing because they speak Spanish between themselves.
Lots of conservative response “It’s America, they should speak English, our common language.
Same conservatives when women complain about offensive “locker room banter” fromn men. “Oh, just deal with it, snowflakes.”

–

Donald Trump today “I think any Jewish people that vote for a Democrat, I think it shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty.”
What’s next, he’s going to propose Jewish Democrats wear a star or something?

–

Anyone STILL want to say we have no need for the 25th Amendment…?
Trump tweet of the night “Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time….”

It doesn’t count, right?

August 19, 2019

Don’t have much interest in pre-season football but I must admit the Jimmy Garoppolo  hysteria after one bad preseason game is pretty amusing. 

–

And hey, as far as QB ratings, 0 is a perfect number too, right?

–

Antonio Brown hasn’t been able to play because he got frostbite because he didn’t wear prescribed footwear for below -100 degree cryotherapy.
And he’s worried about a helmet? Sounds like the damage has already been done. Or #cantfixstupid

–

Happiest people about Antonio Brown/Oakland Raiders saga have to be  Ben Roethlisberger, Mike Tomlin, along with Pittsburgh Steelers fans.

 

In Las Vegas, the most preseason Super Bowl bets are being placed on the the Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns. Yeah, there’s a reason they’ve been able to afford to build all those amazing resorts.

–

Would love for Madison Bumgarner to re-sign with SF Giants next year. And have to wonder if Chris Sale, now out for the year with an elbow injury, has increased the chances of that happening.

As in encouraging moderation in competing offers – Sale, the same age as Madbum,  had just signed a five-year, $145 million contract extension this year.

–

Hard to know who wins the prize for feud between two people you’d most like to see BOTH lose.
But Trump vs. Scaramucci is getting some competition from Jerry Jones vs. Ezekiel Elliott.

 

Rumors that White House  is thinking of pushing for temporary payroll tax cut as a way to stop an economic slowdown. Wait, I thought this was greatest economy ever and anyone who says otherwise is pushing “fake News…”

–

FBI and police nailed three wannabe mass shooters this weekend, so surely Trump will be congratulating their good work. Oh wait, all three were young male white supremacists, never mind.

–

Never understood the appeal of mud-wrestling, but there’s something strangely compelling about watching Trump vs. Scaramucci.

 

Trump tweeting about “reducing tensions in Kashmir.” Does he think it has something to do with Ivanka’s expensive sweater line?

 

Donald Trump seems so vindictively obsessed with Scaramucci you’d almost think they once dated.
