Left Coast Sports Babe

Georgia Dome imploded today faster than the Falcons did in the last Super Bowl.

Alvin Kamara was a third round draft pick. Which means every NFL team passed on him, some at least twice. #Saints

–

Trump attacked Marshawn Lynch Monday morning, though game was Sunday afternoon.   Guess Fox & Friends must have just covered Lynch’s anthem protest.

–

As horrifying as it is to watch on many levels, some fascination in watching Donald Trump & Lavar Ball trying to out-grift each other.

–

–

If women knew there were so many men about to be exposed we could have raised serious money for charity w/ a fundraising “exposed sexual predator” bingo.

–

Open note to any powerful man who hasn’t been outed yet as a harasser & you’re SERIOUSLY sorry about past behavior, maybe confess now before you have to?

–

Kellyanne Conway & Sarah Huckabee Sanders indicate being predator is OK because tax cuts are more important. How many does candidate have to murder for that to take precedence?

–

The way some pro Roy Moore Alabama preachers are attacking motives & behavior of teenagers, maybe time to investigate THEIR pasts with girls.

–

US has travel advisory for Europe over potential terrorist acts around the holidays. Thinking it has to be scarier for Europeans to travel to US with potential mass shootings around the holidays.

–

Jeanine Pirro ticketed for driving 119 mph in a 65 mph zone. Can’t wait to see how Fox News spins this as President Hillary Clinton’s fault.

–

There’s no crime epidemic involving Haitians, no evidence that people who are here do anything but contribute to USA. Sending 60,000 home is just plain cruelty.

–

Wait until Trump realizes a-  he can’t deport Puerto Ricans and b- they can vote in Florida.

–

Just warning that turkey Trump plans to pardon for Thanksgiving. He sure as heck better express gratitude if he wants to live out the weekend.

–

Redskins had a 99.8% chance of beating Saints with 4 minutes left. Even Patriots have no idea how New Orleans won game.

–

Still, few things in the NFL are more fun than watching Drew Brees with less than 2 minutes left on the clock.

–

Colin Kaepernick doesn’t need testimony in his NFL collusion trial – just game day tapes, now adding Nathan Peterman to the list.

–

Steve Kerr on Trump & LaVar Ball “Two people seeking attention & they’re both getting it.” Suggested media stop covering both. #PopovichKerr2020

–

Over 160,000 Puerto Ricans have moved to Florida. Has anyone told Trump they can vote?

–

Fired UCLA football coach Jim Mora scheduled to make $3.7 mill a year before bonuses through 2021. Was Calif’s highest-paid state employee. #priorities

–

Cleveland passed on Carson Wentz,  and he’s turned into a young star. But does anyone doubt that had the Browns chosen Wentz they’d have found a way to screw him up?

–

Not that I would’ve minded UCLA basketball players spending week in jail. But does anyone doubt China wouldn’t have released them under Obama?

–

Give @realDonaldTrump credit. Who else could make Lavar Ball and sons into even slightly sympathetic characters?

#AMAs – for all those who think outfits worn by presenters & winners at #Oscars are too conventional.

–

Trump attacks Jeff Flake again on Twitter. If there was only anything Flake could do to really express his displeasure, you know, like vote against tax bill…

–

Border agent killed, which is awful, but Trump immediately tweets “we will, and must build the wall.” If only he were so quick to respond to mass shootings.

–

Steven Mnuchin says he takes being compared to a Bond villain as a compliment. He would.

Speaking as a woman, isn’t EVERY day, #InternationalMensDay?

Number 1 Alabama played Mercer today.  And number 2 Clemson played the Citadel.  What, the Cleveland Browns weren’t available?

Know Warriors have gotten a little lackadaisical with their starts, but 47 points is probably a little too cocky to allow in the first quarter if they play a real team.

–

Lavar Ball on the President supposedly getting his son home “Who? What was he over there for? Don’t tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out.” Don’t spread this quote around.  Would upset Trump.

Whatever happens the rest of this #Stanford season at least David Shaw figured out teams can go for it on 4th down. #BeatCal

–

Trader Joe’s has recalled some salads over shards of glass & hard plastic being found inside packaging. At Whole Foods that would have been called “fiber.”

Give Ivanka Trump credit. Martha Stewart has been dethroned as queen of “Most Mocked Thanksgiving Hostess.”

–

The President who never forgets a perceived slight & who can’t go a week without bragging about his election win is tweeting at Hillary Clinton to get on with her life.

–

So Trump overturns Obama’s anti-poaching law, puts his repeal on hold after outcry, & no now doubt will take credit for saving elephants. #WTF?

–

Trump is retweeting praise for his decision to review lifting ban on elephant trophies. Somehow I missed tweets from Donny Jr & Eric.

–

Trump praising himself for overturning his overturning Obama’s ban on elephant trophies is like OJ congratulating civil jury for finding the real killer.

–

Wes Goodman, married anti-LBGT Ohio lawmaker who resigned after being caught after having consensual sex w/ man in his office, had also gone through anti-gay conversion therapy….

–

Ryan Seacrest said misconduct allegations from 10 years ago at E! New are “reckless.” How many wonder, was he accused by a man or woman?

–

David Cassidy, 67, is apparently in a coma in critical condition. Sad. But how did Keith Partridge become 67? I feel old.

–

#2017In4Words Makes us miss 2016.

Would Trump have been less judgmental on #AlFranken if Franken had only been heard saying he wanted to grab women by the pussy?

You know the one person besides Roy Moore who hasn’t apologized for sexual assault allegations again them is Donald Trump.

What if you upset a top 10 team and no one was awake to see it.  #Stanford  #Washington

–

But yeah, that moment when #Stanford upsets top 10 #UW team & @ESPN doesn’t even mention it on their site. What East Coast bias?

–

Stanford football tickets have individual players’ pictures on them along with their majors. Just guessing that doesn’t happen in SEC. #nerdnation

–

Stanford frosh basketball star Kezie Okpala basketball will “sit out of competition” indefinitely due to low grade in his spring semester High School AP calculus course. At Kentucky they’re going “whats a calculus course?”‘

–

#RoyMoore in Oct on NFL players kneeling “It’s against the law, you know that. It was a act of Congress that every man stand and put their hand over their heart. That’s the law.” Sounds like Moore very unclear on legal use of hands.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said his proposed lawsuit against NFL has nothing to do w/ Zeke suspension. Then he went off to work on his bridge sale in Brooklyn.

–

Maybe US women’s Gymnastics should look seriously into the possibility of using women doctors? #AlyRaisman

–

Here’s a hint. If you’re an adult man & you think you need to ask a girl’s mother for permission to date her, she’s too young. Period.

–

Ok all you 30-something men who want to date teenagers, just make sure their parents are Republicans.  Then it’ll be fine.

–

Still trying to wrap my head around many in Alabama preferring their teenage daughters date a 30-something man than girl their own age.

–

There is some particular irony for President Bone Spurs ending up in Vietnam on #VeteransDay.

#LouisCK “These stories are true.” That moment when a sexual predator comedian has more integrity than a man who wants to be Senator. #RoyMoore

–

Steve Bannon compares Roy Moore allegations to the Access Hollywood Trump tape. Yep. #predatorsofafeather

Dallas Cowboys tweeted out “Not in Kansas” anymore after their home win over Chiefs. Uh, except neither is Kansas City, Missouri.

–

In a world that seems to be going insane at times, the 2017 SF 49ers are at least a comforting example of consistent suckiness.

–

Headline no one, even in New Orleans expected to see after NFL wk 2. – “Falcons drop chance to keep pace with Saints in shifting NFC South.”

–

A little good news for sports fans in Cleveland –#Browns are on a bye-week.

So how can we move the clocks back only one hour and it feels three hours later already.

–

#DonnaBrazile “Go to hell, I’m going to tell my story.” Fine, but can you keep your story straight then?

–

Paul Ryan says he doesn’t think Mueller should be fired. Makes sense, Ryan could quite possibly be a Pence scandal away from White House.

–

Reports #SutherlandSprings killer 26-yr old white man. Must make families & survivors feel better knowing they weren’t terrorist victims.

–

Hey @realDonaldTrump, that “Not in the USA!” tweet you sent after NYC killings, where is it today after white guy w/ gun killed 20+ people?

Texas killer “court-martialed in 2012 after being accused of assaulting his spouse & child.” How the f*ck was he able to buy a gun?

–

So maybe we could use some of that “extreme vetting” on gun sales?

–

“Thoughts and prayers?” Uh, people are dying while thinking in schools, and praying in church. What about actual change?

–

So is GOP inaction on gun control all part of a jobs program where we’ll need to hire armed security guards everywhere?

–

Look, I have friends who hunt & who own guns, would someone like to give me one good reason why ANYONE needs an AR-15? #SutherlandSprings

–

Waiting for the NRA statement defending rights of domestic abusers to own guns.

–

Looked at comments on Fox News. Saw expected calls for more guns, also many saying shooter was liberal Antifa member. #WTF? #Deplorable

Rand Paul assaulted by neighbor – apparently two men didn’t like each other. Wonder what kind of security Ted Cruz needs around his house?

This morning we set our clocks back a hour. While GOP is trying to set them back 50 years.

Big Justin Verlander fan But thinking many men wouldn’t be too sorry for him had Astros lost & marrying Kate Upton was consolation prize.

–

Since both #Pac12 and #Big10 champions will probably have two losses neither league likely to have team in Rose Bowl. #Sad

–

Oklahoma 62 to 52 victory over Oklahoma State great for fans of NBA All-Star game. #nodefense

–

Of course if Stanford players wanted to and could play in the snow some of them might have gone to the Big Ten. #StanfordvsWSU

–

So how much worse does it have to get before Urban Meyer retires again for health reasons? #OSUvsIOWA

–

Friday night FAU took late safety & won only 30-25.  Then Coach Lane Kiffin sent “joke” tweet on not covering 6.5 pt spread.   Can we check Kiffin for concussions?

–

House of Cards can solve problem by creating President Claire Underwood. Probably not workable for USA to do same for Melania.

–

In Wisconsin, lawmakers approved a bill eliminating ANY age restriction on children participating in a “mentored hunt”  effectively letting anyone hunt. The measure also would eliminate the requirement that a hunter and mentor have only one weapon between them.  What could possibly go wrong?

–

Donna Brazile and Elizabeth Warren don’t seem to get that GOTV doesn’t mean “Gross Out the Voters.

Houston Astros say they are not sure on a potential White House trip. Of course, they should be careful, Trump could see Altuve & try to deport him as unaccompanied immigrant child.

–

Alabama freshman quarterback Mac Jones, 19,  arrested Friday morning and charged with driving under the influence (along with improper identification by a minor.) Okay, I know there are rules against boosters providing cars to players. Maybe NCAA should reconsider Uber/Lyft credits?

New Nationals manager Dave Martinez, “We’re not here just to win playoff game. We’re here to win WorldSeries.” Can we start with a playoff series?

Watching Thunder this year with Carmelo Anthony. Is it just possible that cancer is contagious?

–

Dolly Parton’s ex-publicist accused of offering fans meet & greet for oral sex. If one of those women shot him might be good country song.

Netflix said no further production of House of Cards will include Kevin Spacey. Does this mean “President Claire Underwood?” #SilverLining

–

Whatever happened to La David Johnson f*cking sucks. Does anyone doubt if it was on Clinton’s watch GOP would be calling for impeachment?

–

Astros not sure on White House trip. Should be careful, Trump could see Altuve & try to deport him as unaccompanied immigrant child.

–

Ivanka Trump made a speech against sexual harassment. That’s like Colonel Sanders’ daughter making a speech for chicken rights.

–

Trump didn’t speak publicly at Pearl Harbor memorial. I think I speak for millions of Americans when I say, Thank God.

–

Person who shut down @realDonaldTrump twitter account reportedly a contractor. Can he/she contract next with the IRS?

–

Seriously, maybe even GOP should start getting a little nervous in that @realDonaldTrump wants to fire and/or prosecute anyone who disagrees with him?

As Bill Bradley 2000 supporter, didn’t occur to me to allege rigging when Primary process, as usual, HEAVILY favored front-runner Al Gore.

–

As Trump claims “Most Americans will be able to file taxes on a single piece of paper,” two words to him “You start.” #showusthemoney
