Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Wow - NBA legend Jerry West has passed. Despite his advanced age always thought he'd live for ever... Tom Brady was honored last night getting inducted to the Patriots Hall of Fame. He is the GOAT and won more Super Bowls than any other NFL franchise... X has announced that all "Likes" are now private. That's a good move. "Likes" are free but many, even thought they might like the Tweet or link, don't want to publicly show their approval even thought they want the writer to know they appreciate their efforts... Since Hunter Biden has been found guilty of gun charges and the infamous laptop has been proved to be his - can he now also be charged with kiddie porn too since he had naked pictures of underage girls on the laptop?... Raiders of the Lost Ark came out 43 years ago. Saw it at the movie theater when it came out and loved it but watched it last year and and it was slow and awful by today's standards. Don't waste your time... Reminder that Tom Brady appeared in 3 NFC championships despite playing for Tampa for just 3 years. Those 3 NFC championship games are more than Aaron Rodgers had in his entire career... Now that the video has been widely viewed that Nancy Pelosi claims responsibility for the Trump White House not being able to use National Guard soldiers on January 6th the question has to be asked - what really did she accomplish as the Speaker of the House? Seriously. Besides being known for getting wildly rich off insider trading what are any of her accomplishments? I'll hang up and listen... Good golf tip... Rarely do I disagree with Dan Wetzel but I think Nathan's is well within their rights to ban Joey Chestnut from their Nathan's Famous Hot Dog eating contest because Chestnut signed on to be sponsored by a fake meat hot dog. This whole event was created to promote Nathan's hot dogs - not that of a rival and Chestnut signed a contract to that end. Why give that competitor any oxygen? I also say that fake meat companies should never be allowed to call something a "hot dog" or any product not from a pig "bacon." Should be a law... Is the Green Party this generations version of the Know Nothing Party? Think future generations will get those two confused for each other... Good point... West Virginia should rename any facility bearing the name of former KKK Grand Wizard Robert Byrd to Jerry West's name. He was truly the state's favorite son...
