Friday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Nate Silver predicts Donald Trump has a 67% chance to win the election in November. I don't put much stock in polls though - most had Hillary winning in 2016 and a friend and I left the cigar bar with Trump comfortably in the lead in 2020. Don't get cocky... This is pretty powerful... Boston Celtics picked Baylor Scheierman with the 30th pick of the NBA draft. He's the only one with over 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds, 500 assists, and 300 3-pointers in Division 1 history. Have to like that pick... This is why most bar/restaurants at a golf course are called the 19th green. We already do this for people pitching onto the 18th green and bet on who will be closest to the cup... NBC announced that it will use an AI recreation of Al Michaels' voice to create Olympics recaps on Peacock. Al Michaels signed off on this deal and I'm intrigued by both those recaps and of Al Michaels literally making money while he golfs while NBC basically licenses his voice... Does anyone remember or have heard from Shep Smith lately? Did he go into the witness protection program? Think it would be funny to print up milk cartons with his picture on them or T-shirts with a missing person poster... Credit where credit is due: Bill Simmons said that Scheierman was the best pick for the Celtics last week. Called it!... Like this idea... Piece of advice I try to keep in mind every day: if you don't have time to do it right when will you find the time to do it over?... Ron Paul was right again... Before last night’s debate Donald Trump was the -$145 favorite to win the 2024 election while RFK Jr. was a +$2800 dark horse. Couldn’t find any odds anywhere that would allow me to be that Joe Biden would be replaced as the head of the ticket… Now I want to see a picture of his wife...
