Human beings – as long as you consider yourself human – become crazier and crazier by the day. The influence with influencers has also been resolved. If flat-earther Kyrie Irving was right, we would be on the back foot by now.
So drop down and give me a 10!
1. Where do we start today? Well, the “A” is for Alabama. “What we have now is not college football, it’s not college football as we know it,” recently retired Bama football coach Nick Saban said last week. I hear someone say “student-athlete.” No such thing exists. ”
Are you kidding me? When did Saban have that awakening? Did he come to that conclusion after being paid tens of millions of dollars? Did he find out for the first time after he retired that he was accepted on a full scholarship to a soccer-crazy university and that no basic education was required to get into it?
Does Saban mean to say that the dozens of recruits who were arrested on various felonies and misdemeanors may not have had a legitimate reason to be at Alabama other than winning games?
He was the star receiver on Saban’s 2017-18 national championship team, a first-round NFL draft pick by the Raiders, and Henry Ruggs III, who is currently struggling with a 156 mph DWI homicide. , are we suggesting that we left Alabama worse off than when we entered it?
Does Saban mean it’s all a scam? Hey, who knew? He’s now on ESPN, where he talks about “halftime adjustments” and being able to get it done.
2. Last week, New York state congressman Jamal Bowman admitted to setting up false fire alarms at the U.S. Capitol, but he also admitted that he set up false fire alarms at the U.S. Capitol, but not before killing Cuban friendly rum and convicted police killer Joan Chesimard. He defended his decision to honor schoolchildren (now Assata Shakur).
Werner Förster, a 34-year-old New Jersey state trooper who was ambushed and shot to death, had a wife and a 3-year-old son, but that didn’t matter to Bowman.In the end, it wasn’t his family. For that matter, so do Nike and its poster champion, NFL QB Colin Kaepernick.
Among Chesimard/Shakur’s biggest donors and supporters was Kaepernick. Nike was fully embraced by Communist China’s business partner, which continues to make many decisions in all of our sports.
On the other hand, and mostly for the worse, Nike and its Swoosh continue to invade MLB uniforms. Our sports authorities have allowed Nike funds to become their matatabi.
3. Speaking of people who have to bow to Nike while lecturing us about what’s wrong with the world, LeBron James said that instead of pandering to the media, intelligent people should do their own garbage. He doesn’t seem to care whether he sees through it or not.
In January, James boasted that his son Bronny, a freshman at the University of Southern California, was already ready for the NBA. “He could play for us now, but easy! ”
Last week, he was upset that Bronny was listed as a second-round selection in a mock draft, saying, “Can’t you please just let this kid be a kid and let him enjoy college basketball?”
Hey, won’t you say it?
Four. As the winning, logic-based Major League Baseball continues to decline, we can’t say that Juan Soto, the new Yankee who claims to have admired Robinson Cano, didn’t warn us.
Last week, Soto hit a deep shot and rudely posed toward the bat, but had to break off to reach second base. Them Of all the new-age major league managers, the kind Aaron Boone allowed and even allowed home runs.
And then there was Giancarlo Stanton, another highly paid underachiever. He may have told Soto twice that he stalled for a few weeks because he was late at bat and slid into second base.
Five. The Yanks now have an MIT-trained analytics expert. Another reminds us to ignore what we see in order to believe what is read from a computer screen. Observational, common-sense baseball, like maintaining the presence of a pitcher who “has it” on a given day, say Don Larsen, is perhaps lost to forces.
There’s going to be a lot going on this season that Michael Kay can’t ignore.
6. The Rangers have another Pride Night game scheduled for Sunday. Another invitation to create and promote further sanctioned social division for no reason on demand.
If the team – any professional team – is gay, Estonian, atheist, Maoist Marxist, transgender NCAA record-breaking swimmer, green-haired grandma, uncle Leo, etc., race, sexuality, ethnicity, etc. Refusal to participate in a game on grounds of religion, politics, biological birth, hairdressing, etc. creates a reason to dedicate the game to a specially oppressed people.
Enduring pandering Shamefully, Rob Manfred last year allowed the Dodgers to bash Catholics and honor a cross-dressing man in a nun’s costume as a guest of honor at a Pride game.
Manfred also accepts the politically wishful and plausible argument that Georgia’s new voting law is a racist, Jim Crow type of move that prevents black people from voting. As a result, the All-Star Game was moved from Atlanta, which is 50% black, to Denver, which is majority white, but it remains pandering. A stupid decision that MLB has never been held accountable for.
Didn’t it matter that Georgia soon had record numbers of black voters? But MLB decided to bow to racial pressure.
7. Matt Barnes, a vulgar, N-word-spouting antagonist in public every year throughout his NBA career on and off the court, is a natural fit to co-host his own TV show on Paramount/CBS’ Showtime. There, he continued to act like a garbage truck. act on television.
Last week, the NBA Kings removed Barnes as a television analyst after one of his sons was called for a technical at a high school game and caused a courtside disturbance. Why the Kings hired him in the first place feels more like modern-day madness.
8. Also last week, Richard Sherman, another NFL repeat offender considered indispensable by TV executives, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
It didn’t matter that he was arrested two years ago for drunk driving and resisting arrest after calling police to report his in-laws were trying to break into his home. He admitted two misdemeanors on reduced charges. He served as an analyst on the NFL’s “Thursday Night Football” last season.
9. Anyone with reasonable foresight knew that NIL payments and bidding wars would push college sports further into financial farce and fraud — complete free rides, cash Pell grants. , and six years to graduation isn’t enough — the Florida High School Athletic Association is approving NIL payments for high school athletes on the brink.
Children may then become targets of bidding wars, transfer offers, and other temptations that do not involve reading, writing, addition, and subtraction skills. If the parents agree to the consultation, the child can be put up for auction. Have we all gone crazy?
Ten. Nets team owner Joe “Follow the Money” Tsai said last week that the NBA is in a “very good place” with China, a communist country that forbids basic freedoms. He declared that he was “delighted” to resume playing.
Of course it is. The Taiwanese-Canadian billionaire is the chairman of Alibaba, a tech company that relies on China for its profits. But is Taiwan a democratic country that China has vowed to annex by force? so what? That’s what Chinese prisons are for.
Don’t really think about Kyrie Irving holding a globe. map? Well, it’s flat.
