Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
As anyone could guess the Biden campaign team has said that they would only do a debate with Trump on NPR, CNN, MSNBC, or CBS and a Democrat-aligned reporter must be moderator. Additional conditions include no JFK Jr., no live audience, and Trump's microphone must be muted whenever Biden mumbles an answer... Netflix is finalizing the contract to hold two NFL games on Christmas Day. The tradition used to be to go out to watch a movie late on Christmas day because they were among the only things open. Now people may stay home watch the NFL and chill. Good move by Netflix and profitable for the NFL... In theory you could bet the underdog +1.5 goals and the favorite -1.5 goals in an NHL playoff game and win both bets with the game decided by a single goal (like the last Bruins win). Not including last night 11 out of 63 games would have won those bets. Think the casinos are well aware of those odds... Trump badly wants to have a debate and agreed to CNN hosting in June with Jake Tapper as moderator. Now Trump gets to expose Biden as demented and the corporate media as incompetent all in one night… Greg Olsen will move from FOX's number 1 announcing NFL team to their number 2 team with Tom Brady coming on board as their number 1 announcer. Olsen’s pay is reduced from $10 million to $3 million but that's still a lot of money. Most people would be watching those games no matter who was calling them... Netflix announces a 10-part "documentary" on Jerry Jones of the Cowboys. Inquiring minds want to know if this was a quid pro quo for Netflix getting those 2 Christmas day games... Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg was elected partly on the promise that he'd prosecute Donald Trump. Could an opponent to Bragg get elected for promising in a campaign ad that he'd prosecute Michael Cohen for perjury?... Friedrich Nietzsche once said, "I was in darkness, but I took three steps and found myself in paradise. The first step was a good thought, the second, a good word; and the third a good deed." Kirk Douglas was once asked how he kept himself in such good shape and he replied that he never took the elevator. He always took the stairs for the exercise. Combining the two quotes is a good way to a better body and mind. Do these steps and you may find yourself in paradise... Many adults my age hear the news that Chuck E. Cheese locations will no longer have animatronic bands and think, "Wait - Chucky E. Cheese is still in business?"... The Boston Celtics beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 113-98 last night. The line was Boston by 15.5. Why you should always buy that half-point…
