As we approach the NCAA Tournament and Passover, enriched by six years of “alumni” transfers, I am reminded of the first night’s meal of the Seder and the tradition of not allowing strangers to eat alone.
One day, a blind man is invited to a seder. When the sheets of matzo were handed over to him, he picked one up and ran his fingers over it, giving him a curious look.
Finally he says, “Who wrote this junk?”
Yes, who are you?
The NCAA Tournament now comes with endless commercials for Capital One credit cards every year. They star Charles Barkley, Samuel L. Jackson, Spike Lee, and sometimes Jim Nantz.
What they also have in common is that, despite their clever design, they are excruciatingly unfunny, even stupid. Lee regularly appears awkward and anxious, seemingly obligingly present for no compelling reason.
And NCAA-centric stuff has been flying at us nonstop for almost a month. Four men of national celebrity encouraging viewers to rack up credit card debt and racking up more and more interest on their credit cards…why do these commercials exist, persist, and work day and night? It just adds to the curiosity of whether it’s considered worth paying attention to. Over 3 weeks.
Who is writing these scripts? Who approves them? Who is directing and producing such hopeless content? Are they doing the best they can? It’s painful to endure. Isn’t Kevin Harlan’s indiscriminate in-game yelling enough of a burden to bear?
But why would we ask such a question of advertisers when we could equally ask, “What the hell were you thinking?” Can I ask a question to a U.S. presidential candidate?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced last week that his running mate was Jesse Ventura, a former Minnesota governor who spent his career in the sleaziest empire in television entertainment, Vince Mahon’s Pro Wrestling and XFL Networld, as his running mate. He publicly declared that he had this in mind. .
already! Ventura even gave an inside crack about Mel Phillips’ pedophilia on one of McMahon’s sleazy TV shows. Phillips, McMahon’s “ring boss,” was widely known throughout the McMahon kingdom as a pied piper who gathered children (minors) to attend events and sexually abused them without parental restrictions.
A 10-minute (maybe even shorter) investigation can reveal an active party in something that has been going on for decades, including sudden drug deaths in the workplace (steroids, opiates, amphetamines, suicide) and cast members. Kennedy may have woken up when Ventura gave him a look and nodded. He coached and even encouraged sexual misadventures under McMahon’s watch.
Didn’t Kennedy or Ventura know that McMahon’s traveling ring doctor was sentenced to prison for illegal drug distribution?
Still, Kennedy had the audacity — or was it just total ignorance? — declared Ventura the ideal vice president of the United States.
But our president has long taken a populist view of the most questionable conduct of famous athletes.
The first President Bush appointed Arnold Schwarzenegger to head the President’s Physical Fitness Council. It would take another 10 minutes of research to find out that Schwarzenegger’s World Bodybuilding Championship was predicated on the use of steroids.
If he wasn’t on steroids, few people would have even heard of Schwarzenegger.
Donald Trump, who is not a white supremacist but a self-supremacist, is not a white supremacist, but a self-supremacist. – Proudly served the Per View business. Trump is proudly inducted into McMahon’s WWE/WWF Hall of Fame.
The least popular female athlete in recent memory is the foul-mouthed, me-first, bad-winner, and national anthem-singer Megan Rapinoe.People who couldn’t forgive her misanthropic behavior actually put down roots for her during the Soccer World Cup against The success of the US team is largely due to her presence. And she was the team captain.
Regardless, President Biden awarded her the highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, at a White House ceremony.
A 10-minute investigation or just taking the pulse of the nation?—Biden and all of us could have escaped this exorbitant property and national affront.
Biden also announced that it would be fully approved for teams of biological males to beat and toss biological females in games such as women’s basketball games.
By the way, the first time I learned about financial responsibility was when I had to pay off my college loans, $51.95 a month, for 10 years. This equates to a total of $6,234. That’s a lot of money when I was taking home $85 a week.
Now, if Joe Biden wants to send me a check for $6,234, he has my vote.
Networks’ goal should be to find more players like former goaltender Schneider.
Former Devils and Islanders goaltender Corey Schneider has quickly become a valued member of NHL Network’s studio shows. He is a funny, self-deprecating speaker, humorous and thoughtful.
He’s the guy you need for classic NFL and MLB pregame shows. However, only the most famous people, regardless of their value, are eligible for such positions.
We’ve been hearing and reading about Giants defensive end Kayvon Thibodeau having a great season with 11.5 sacks. Anyone who watched every Giants game must have missed it. So it’s another case of believing what you’re told and not what you see.
Last season, Thibodeau appeared to disappear from the field in several games. Even Fox’s Darryl “Moose” Johnston, never one to knock players, said Thibodou “disappeared” during a Giants telecast.
Rangers defense has no range
MSG’s Rangers duo of Sam Rosen and Joe Micheletti are still stuck in the obvious. “Good effort,” “Nice save,” and “Good poke check.”
I want more. What kind of practice does Peter Laviolette have? Does he have a sense of humor? Is the unassuming do-it-all Adam Fox recognized on the street? How did center Jake Lechishyn, a man with an Eastern European-sounding last name who was born in Raleigh, North Carolina, make it to the NHL?
It’s TV. appear. So give us something beyond the ordinary.
Congratulations to 26-year-old Manhattan College guard DeJuan Clayton on successfully suing the NCAA to allow him to play eight seasons at four different schools. He previously played at the University of California, University of Hartford and Coppin State University.
Given that his bio says he graduated from Coppin State University with a degree in social science in 2020, if I were a judge, he would live the rest of his life. He would have decided that the time had come.
ESPN across sports continues to prove that it can’t handle things intelligently. Any Sports.
Last week, the magazine listed free agent NFL quarterbacks and published their win-loss records, including Trevor Lawrence, who was “10-20” and has been removed from consideration for the Cy Young Award. Ta.
