Flotsam and Jetsam

 Miscellaneous thoughts and observations. 

If the NBA playoff TV ratings are way down because of BLM support - I can't imagine how bad the WNBA ratings must be. Are they being measured with microscopes by this point?... The 2007 NFL Draft was horrible for QB's - from JaMarcus Russell taken with the 1st pick to Tyler Thigpen taken with the 217th pick. Total of 11 QB's taken and all of them pretty much busts... Genius Trump nominates Joe Biden to Supreme Court forcing Dems to accuse him of sexual assault... "There's no fucking way we're not buying this team [the Patriots]." - Robert Kraft January 2, 1994. As an aside - how is his nickname not "Krafty?"... The federal government owns approximately 85% of the land in Nevada, 69% of Alaska, 57% of Utah and 53% of Oregon... This seems like a promising technology...

Flotsam and Jetsam

 Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

"If you want to be a clear thinker, you cannot pay attention to politics. It will destroy your ability to think." - Naval Ravikant... Will be curious to see if mounting financial losses to the NBA from no fans in the stands, rapidly dropping TV ratings, and the curtailing of Chinese blood money force the owners to abandon the money losing WNBA. I can easily see the TV broadcast partners at the least to start refusing to waste airtime on any more WNBA games... Don't care what your politics are - this is funny!... Is there a more cool and heroic verb than the word "Thwart"? Think about it - the context around that word is almost always cool and heroic... ESPN could easily triple the time slot ratings of WNBA games by replacing it with almost any programming - repeats of the last SportsCenter, professional darts, Australian rules football - literally anything...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

So Reggie Bush says that returning the Heisman is not an admission of guilt. So is Reggie Bush now going to write a book called "If I Did It" just like another USC running back?... Heh heh... I doubt Jonathan Papelbon will use the Drop Kick Murphy's Shipping Up to Boston for entrance music next season because I don't think he'll be with the Red Sox... Very sad. UMass band director dies on way to Ann Arbor for today's game. My sympathies and best wishes go out to the family of George Parks... I do not apologize for being happy that the WNBA finals are over. Now we can go months without ESPN jamming the WNBA down our throats... Giant Manta Ray swipes $5k camera rig from diver, shoots some video...
