Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Wow - stunned that Nick Saban is retiring from Alabama. Stunned! He is obviously walking away because he had enough and felt it was time. I just worry about his and his wife's health and hope they are both OK. Wish nothing but the best for him in retirement - he earned it... Amused that some people are upset that Aaron Rodgers is paid to be on the Pat McAfee Show and say what he does on ESPN's own airwaves. They're writing about it aren't they? What ever happened to "if it bleeds - it leads" mentality for ratings?... Not a surprise but Google co-founder Sergey Brin and his ex-wife have been named as visitors to Epstein's Island. Wonder if that started when they dropped the Google motto "don't be evil?"... Monday's game between Michigan-Washington reportedly had 25 million viewers. Not bad! I know I tuned in... Nothing funny about the Miami Heat waiting for Eric Spoelstra until his divorce was finalized before signing him to a $120 million extension with the team. Nothing funny at all! Torn on this deal as a divorced guy but who doesn't like Pat Riley... Another Wow moment was learning that Pete Carroll was out as HC of Seattle. Just this week he said he planned to keep coaching the Seahawks. This wasn't his choice... What's to stop RFK Jr. from adding Tulsi Gabbard to his Presidential ticket as VP? That could be a winning combination... The SEC gets hacked. We're in the best of hands... As Oto Frisch observed, "The cost of such a plant [to produce pure uranium] would be insignificant compared to the cost of the war." So too the cost of the Manhattan Project in comparison to the cost of American lives that would have been lost if we were forced to invade Japan... Ohio Governor Mike DeWine had his veto of gender affirming surgery for minors overturned. He sold his soul for a $40,000 donation. Rot in hell... Hewlett-Packard acquires Juniper Networks for $14 billion. This should be bigger news. Many companies want a cheaper alternative to Cisco but not a "cheap" alternative technology. Juniper fills that void... The “hack” of the SEC's X account just serves as a reminder of what a shit-show the rollout of the Obamacare website turned out to be. A nightmare!...
