Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
It has been reported that 70% of the people voting for Nikki Haley in the NH primary were registered as Democrats or Independents or something other than Republican according to exit polls. Makes sense. She might as well declare herself a Never Trumper at this point... Adrian Beltre, Todd Helton, and Joe Mauer join Jim Leyland are the new inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Once again any players associated with steroids did not get the votes to get in. Suffice it to say they got paid millions which should be some consolation... Kind of lost in the scuffle between Canadian truckers and Justin Trudeau was the downfall of PayPal. In an attempt to be politically correct or to kowtow to liberals in power they threw away their viability. Do you know anyone who still uses PayPal?... Remains the best acceptance speech at the Oscars, "So many times I have a speech ready, but no dice. Always a bridesmaid, never a mother. Now I win, and I have no speech." Michael Curtiz the director of Casablanca... VDH on who will police the police?... Once there was a difference between workers and “wokers” but that difference may make a comeback... Netflix increases subscribers by 13.1 million the last quarter for a total of 260.28 million. Cracking down on password sharing is one of the reasons given but these numbers don't even include any new subscribers who want the WWE or other new live sports content. Will be interesting to watch... What will be the fate of the Power 5 colleges that make a profit in the new world of college athletics? Will they engage in revenue sharing? How will that effect the big paydays some of these football teams that offer to lesser colleges to be sacrificial lambs? Will the "student-athletes" still want these almost guaranteed W's that may lessen their payday? Or will they look upon these games as stepping stones to bowl games and bigger paydays? Interesting to watch.. Heh Heh... The Milwaukee Bucks announce they hired Doc Rivers as their new head coach. As a fan of the Celtics and being familiar with Rivers' playoff history - not really filled with dread about the hire... Admit that it's a bit of a shocker that Vic Fangio would part ways with the Dolphins. Not sure what that says about the front office in Miami or possible tampering by the Eagles. Stay tuned... San Francisco reportedly has 7,754 homeless people which works out to a spending of over $141,000 per homeless person. That means they could afford to spend $10,000 per month for a year but make it a condition that homelessness is now a felony in San Fran and they must move out of state to get the money. It would save a ton of cash...
