Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Bill Belichick has reportedly taken the head football coach job at North Carolina. A job that will supposedly pay him $10 million a year. Like I said - get your popcorn ready... Christopher Wray has resigned as Director of the FBI… Learn something new every day: Luigi Mangione alleged shooter of UnitedHealthcare CEO only gave The Unabomber Manifesto 4 out of 5 stars in his review on Goodreads. Curious now if there any books he gave 5 stars to... Not surprising but Mike Lombardi is leaving VSIN to be Belichick’s GM at UNC. They’re getting the band back together… Now that a jury found Daniel Perry not guilty he announced he may sue District Attorney Alvin Bragg for malicious prosecution. I hope he takes Bragg for every dime he’s got… So will 82-year old Mitch McConnell be the next senator to have to be wheeled in to vote on bills in Congress? His term of office doesn't end until 2026 but he should seriously start thinking of calling it a day... Forgot that Lawrence Taylor also went to North Carolina. Belichick has consistently called Taylor the best defensive player he ever coached. Will Taylor now help him with recruiting?... The meeting of Canadian Prime Minister with Donald Trump reminds me that Tim Horton's missed a huge opportunity when they merged with Burger King in not changing the name of all the franchises to Burger Horton's... Business idea: have Hallmark buy MSNBC and replace all the anchors with lower cost good looking people who give good and uplifting news. Plus SpongeBob re-runs. Ratings should soar... Wonder how Cowboy's message boards are reacting to Bill Belichick taking the UNC coaching job and them maybe having another year of Mike McCarthy... Think George Orwell world approve of the language surrounding Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act was the opposite of "affordable" and drove prices up. We have always been at war with higher healthcare prices... Have to think that Steve Belichick will join the UNC staff as defensive coordinator and that Bill might teach a class on leadership and coaching that will double as both a way to instruct current players and as recruiting tool...

Wray: I disagree with Trump in that Wray didn't do it alone. Nothing will stop, only move underground, if Trump doesn't dig deeply into the organization. There were certainly those who went along to get along, and I want those cleaned out too, but there are the Wray "children" who were an integral part of the machine.
