I'd Feel Mad About Not Having Mr. or Mrs. Everything's in Auto Racing!

 What strikes a nerve with me is how "Big Daddy" Don Garlits said that Auto Racing, particularly Drag Racing, does not have Mr. Everything's. I don't mean the Tony Stewart or the Kyle Larson types, but, the technical types.

It would be harder for the Kids to learn Technical Stuff when Cars go like K and N. And, we have a Better Chance for my Peers to be Criminal Profiles than Honest, Model Citizens.

I'd feel mad about not having Mr. or Mrs. Everything's in Auto Racing because, it would balance out the Behavioral Problems from getting a Pit Pass. A Pit Pass is not an All Access Pass and for those of us who want to Enjoy Motorsports, or at least have a Car, Driver and or Money to enjoy Motorsports, that would be frustrating on so many levels.

I would not like having so many "Bring Sponsor" Heroes Zero Out the Regional or National Fan Bases and to make it worse, it becomes a More Well Heeled Formula Ford. At some point, Ford is wanting to see Results.

The IT is great and helps with iRacing and other things, but, it is 0 Substitute for how we enjoy Racing.

Brian Kelly Got LSU Wrong From the Start!

 Ideally, Sunday Church decisions should be "Which Bowl Your School is Going to?" Instead of "Who's Going to Get Fired Today?" and Brian Kelly would have the most frustrating Coaching Career in College Football History.

LSU got this wrong with a Common Men's Basketball Trope on never Hire Someone Someone Else was going to Fire Anyway. Brian Kelly did not do himself any favors in getting Louisiana all Wrong.

Even Jerry DiNardo tried to get the Books and the Customs off being Grounded, but, Discipline always was a Swing and Miss. Nick Saban pushed Baton Rouge into Plateaus that they couldn't even imagine.

And, to top it off, even though they didn't go into Cholly McLendon School, but, Leadership in Louisiana is Badly Needed.

This puts Notre Dame in a Hotter Spot should they go and replace someone else.

Dropped Out:

17 Southern Miss

Callouts:

1. The Wisconsin Man and their Family is Voting With their Wallets.

Not Good at all and even less good is the Student Section being anemic at Camp Randall

2. Florida can't keep having the Perpensity for Buyouts

Billy Napier is History, but, that doesn't mean the Gators can't keep throwing Money at the same problems and

3. Florida State should have Commanded an NCAA Investigation

Even less funny, and less amusing than Future Florida Leadership, but, I would have felt strongly a Collapse like Florida State's should have merited an NCAA Investigation.

If I Was the NBA Commissioner...

 If I Was the NBA Commissioner and I saw key players get caught Red-Handed in Sports Betting, I would be a Lot Stronger than Adam Silver. Adam Silver's Reax has been Weak Willed and Weak Armed to put it mildly.

Basketball would not be my Chief Sport, but, I would feel angered there is no one in High School or College who'd equalize Wemby even remotely. I would feel hurt that I can't find anyone better than Nepo Babies or Daddy's Cash.

In the World I'd be Raised In and a Lot of People be Raised In, too, your Last Name would be Trust or Scorn. Frankly, we have been way too tolerant than we should be.

The owners have always been resistant to putting ABA History in the NBA Record Books and the surviving ABA Heroes do not have that far to go, which is not good. I would want to have Healthier Relationships with the Inner City instead of Crumbing Memphis, which they earned Fair and Square like Des Moines and the State Fair.

I don't know if jettisoning Stern Sooner would have saved the Sonics from being Jettisoned, but, this is a Family Blog.

There is a Price for Being Sly on Sports Betting!

 There is a Price for Being Sly on Sports Betting! Gilbert Arenas would wind up 2 Striking his way to Federal Prison and Washington DC is a Federal Jurisdiction like the Indian Tribes and Casinos. But, Mr. Silver has let Professional Basketball's Moral Compass go all kinds of ways.

I would not like Oklahoma City defending, but, if Indiana where to defend, it would have been as Problematic as the Brady Bunch. Playing Basketball Great is a Privilege and that Privilege is Lost in the Narcissism.

What I don't see is Norm Van Lier yelling "EDUCATION" on the Chicago Sports Dial. I don't see Dr. Jack Ramsay be Preoccupied with his Next Role. We couldn't bet on Iowa Schools or Iowa Opponents in Sports Betting, which makes sense.

The only good thing about Indiana defending is that New York Series would have meant 10 Times More than it did.
