Is Barstool Responsible For the Decline in Sports Radio?

 I'd feel that Barstool Sports and its trashy ilk are Responsible for a Decline in Sports Radio. It takes the Shock Jock Mentality of the 1990's and 2000's and further acceptablize such a thing.

Worse, what Sports Radio has a Problem with is Replacing the Good People People Expect with the Trash.

I would find that Good, Bad, or Indifferent, I'd want like Certain Dials in Certain Places like WIBC in Indianapolis, KMOX in St. Louis or WGN in Chicago, among others. We've ran and hid from that and the Cardinals usually are a Family Show, not Sports Radio.

Sports Radio is not for everyone. Essentially, when you'd do a 2020's Answer to the Foamer Culture.

Sponsors go where they'd want to go and when they are fed up with Someone or their Behavior, it cuts into the Bottom Line.

Fitsum Russell's Collapse is Maddening

 I'd briefly went to High School with Fitsum Russell, albeit the Infamous 5th Year at Mount Vernon. People believed in Fitsum Russell and the way he repaid them was in Violent Recidivism.

What bothers me is there is not a Fitsum Russell Trial and in my Area's History, he's outworsened Ike Light for Worst Quality Student Athlete, and that is saying a lot.

One of these days, I'd be afraid that Fitsum Russell would go all the way off the Deep End and bring shame to Mount Vernon and Mount Vernon Community School District beyond what he has done already.

I am not proud of typing this post, and there are too many Entitled Creeps to Count.

Even I'd know Recidivists like that only go one way and that is worse, and I'd learned that before my A B C's. 


Baltimore Does Hated, But, Selfish is Another Story

 I feel that with tying OBJ, AB and Lamar for A...WHOLE....LOT...Of...MONEY! is Selfish of the Baltimore Ravens. Kevin Byrne is hated at Home in Wisconsin, and a lot of the Hate towards Baltimore, fair or not, is Earned.

But, I'd don't see the Baltimore Pro Football History have as Strong of Coaching as they do now. Baltimore Fans would wince when their City's Pro Football History is Brought Up, and for Good Reason, as this is not a Good Time.

They can't Nelly Dance their Way Out of this One, and the Jokes are Over. Baltimore, by far and wide, would make Pro Football History by Spending a Fortune on 3 Mercurial Pro Bowlers who'd do nothing but crash.

Can't We Restart the Eddie Hill Rule in NHRA Again?

 I feel in the "Duff Beer for Me, Duff Beer For You" Subdivision of Complaints is I'd like to see the Eddie Hill Rule back in the NHRA again, because, Racing should be Fun and I do not like seeing replacing Whole Cars out of the Woodwork like Grand Theft Auto.

I do not like what we'd see is the absence of 40 Years of Problem Solving like "Can I Have a Prom Date?" like you've done nothing to earn it. 

I'd like to see the Eddie Hill Simulator like we'd do the iRacing, but, I'd get on my Horse and actually work.

Is Alex Palou Closer to Hank Hill than People Realize

 Alex Palou is a little too close to Hank Hill in the terms of being Uncomfortably Relatable. I'd feel it would be the knock on Spain not handling their Business appropriately, which is a Millennial Knock.

And, I said Last Summer, this was a Jacques Villeneuve/Nigel Mansell type of Indy Car Champion.

I'd think another thing Mike Judge is not well known for is Professionalism, or letting a Good (Or Bad) Thing Shamelessly trot on my TV or Backchannel.

I'd think Vegas Wife Zak Brown got what he wanted in hindsight, but, there is not pride in waiting for a Divorcee.


Not Happy to be in the Olympic Wilderness!

 Frankly, with the Wild being in a Decade Long Playoff Wilderness does not make me happy, like a Bad Sitcom just designed to be Bad. And, to make it worse, I am even less happy to be in the Olympic Wilderness like this Monopolizes my Summer Vacation instead of Mother's Day with Neal Broten or having Lou Nanne raise My Stanley Cup on Minnesota Ice.

I find it is a felony that the low bar the Wild keep icing over and over are No Enforcers, not even a True Life Fighter who'd enforce the Gordie Howe Hat Trick like the Declaration of Independence, and the Wild's Outreach does not extend to drafting local like the North Stars.

Sooner or later, the Wild will hit the 30 and focus is not one of their better tacks. I'd look at the Studs of the X like I was the Treasurer and my Cousin is the Financial Panther, but, I'd feel madder and madder than a Wet Hen about not having Playoff Successes in Des Moines or Iowa City.

I'd want the mystic year of My Team, the Iowa Wild, sweep Calder Cup Fever through the State like the Midnight Riders they are, instead of being partial and undone. Believe me, I'd hate to see a Season End Premature as much as the Next Fan.

And technically, it's Coralville and the Iowa Heartlanders have no Playoff Series and frankly, I am antsy. This is the 2nd Year of Major Pro Hockey in Cedar Rapids and Iowa City and I am not proud of missing the Playoffs.

The Olympic Motto is Win With Honor and Integrity and Compete With Honor and Integrity, and I feel Big Business has gotten in the way.

I'm Glad I am Not Juventus!

 In spite of the Click Bait Post, I am feeling that Juventus's History of Unaccountability is putting European Soccer on Notice. In the 10 Years Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, the one thing Soccer lacks is a sense of accountability.

Juventus changes the opinion of Italian Football and not in a Good Way, either. I'd feel that English Football would have more Money than the King, but, the truth is, I'd love Manchester United as much as I'd hate Manchester City. (A lot)

A lot of my Soccer Education runs through Manchester United, but, I feel the sense of account is having a Local or National Principal or even better, a National Side that people will get along with. I wouldn't want a bunch of collectibles that no one will use and people will ask questions over.

Believe me, those Questions don't go away!

Sports Should Be Fun!

 What I feel is Sports Should be Fun! This is not a Puff Piece just to have one, but, what has gotten Softer and Puffier is So Much Junk and No Expectations we don't know where to begin.

It'd be one thing to be misogynistic if your in a Social Junkyard, but, it is another to be entitled and given too many chances.

People should be concerned if the Blue Blood Teams do not make a Deep Run or an Effort into the Playoffs or a Major Market becomes a Cultural Black Hole because their heroes are in Prison or Disinterested.

For as much as Ovi makes the Record Books, NHL Fans (And their Coffers) are happier with Sidney Crosby making a Deep Playoff Run. Frankly, the NHL does not know what to do without a Chicago Blackhawks, Montreal Canadiens, Hockeytown Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins or St. Louis Blues Lengthy Playoff Run.

I don't get too many Chances and as a Disabled Gentleman, you'd get ripped if you blow your chance and or chances. If it is Behind the Scenes or Principals, everyone knows it is not fun.

Is Max Verstappen There For A Good Time, Not a Long Time?

 What is rich is Max Verstappen is there for a Good Time, not a Long Time. Speaking of that, I feel he'd run and hide with the World Driving Championship as opposed to Honor it, or Represent it.

Frankly, after Sir Jackie Stewart, we'd be SOOL on another Carroll Shelby anywhere on the Horizon. I'd feel Red Bull has No Interest in Sports Car Racing and what is frustrating, is the "Buy More Energy Drinks" Ethic is holding weight.

This is organically a Consumer Driven Outfit and Red Bull does not have Wing on Scouting. I'd feel he'd run from Something Else that would keep him from Globetrotting.

This run is not even joyous and frankly, I am left wanting more and then some, too.

Formula One Should Be Home to Luxury or Those Willing to Learn

 With me being offended with a Criminal Intent that too many Kids, or even better, my Peers think Ayrton Senna is a 30 for 30, I'd hate Formula One being Sugarcoated and Watered Down with a Passion, too.

I'm all for wanting to have Women or Different Women or better than that, an American Formula One Glory, but, the Gore of Netflix has me blind to the Business of Formula One.

Formula One is 2 Years Away from 75 and I'd hate to go all "Carolina Way" on the public, but, I'd don't want the issues of Sports Car Racing and even now, I'd look at Sports Car Racing as a Rich Man's Sport.

What I'd want is having a Local Formula One like Rockwell Collins is in my Community. What I'd don't want is to go further and further away from Educated Women.

Frankly, I'd want to make a different drink.

CM Punk Plunking WWE and AEW After the All Out Brawl Out is Getting Old

 CM Punk is more Stone Cold Steve Austin than Stone Cold Steve Austin and worse, his Seasons in the Sun where shorter than Stone Cold's. What is colder, is the Approval/Disapproval Tolerancies have been Hankenesque and not in a Good Way Either.

What CM Punk's Presence at RAW was, you know, Raw, and not a welcome one to a myriad of fighters who'd be On Edge due to the WWE/UFC Merger, which would have been Antitrusted to No Tomorrow if this was the 1990's.

What CM Punk did was leave the WWE in Bad Standing, and stall and stall being one of the Jacksonville Heroes of AEW. Thankfully, that did not materialize.

I'd need more than Ice Cream Bars to make this right and it would have been a Long Labor Day if I'd had to dole the Monday Morning After. Frankly, this makes both WWE and AEW very anxious.

SMU is En Route to Returning to a Major Conference!

 I'd feel that SMU returning to a Major Conference, namely the Pac 12 Conference, is News to Me and a Lot of People! I'd feel better later on down the road, having a Postmodern Southwest Conference to tie together the ribbons at a later date.

Frankly, I would have had Hawaii be in the Pac 12 because of Women's Sports and Proximity to Southern California. But, that is neither here or there.

What I'd believe is wanting a Red, White, Blue and Playoff Gold Year. This is not an act because I'd want to end SMU's Conference Hex before it Turns 50 and what better way to put a Stop to it than have Loud Visions of a National Championship.

Frankly, it won't be 100 Percent Emotion Free, because of the Death Penalty.

I'd Rather'd Learn From Good or Great than Bad, Even.

 What bothers me is I'd rather would learn from Good or Great than Bad, Even. Truthfully, we will run out the Clock on our Elders, and that does not make me happy. 

What does not make me happy is we'd pick up Bad Habits like COVID never happened. Frankly, that is dangerous and I'd be a Tampa 2 on those Questions.

I'd feel that some of these people are costing their Schools Money like they did nothing. And, doing nothing is expensive.

I am 2 Years Away from 40 and I'd Command Better. Not demand, command.


Seriously, Colorado is No Shape to Be Winning!

 I'd feel as a Serious Fan, Colorado is in No Shape to be Winning, because even with all the High School 2023 Recruits, you'd barely have a 2 Deep in Boulder. And, Boulder has messed things up with Nothing for the Environment and Nothing for Skiing or Independent Movies.

In reality, Deion is only there for Deion. Colorado has signed off on a Jerk Homer State of Mind and they are too late to change. With North Dakota State Cooling Off, Kansas is Making their School, Arizona was a Play or Two Away from Going Bowling, and Nebraska is not chasing anyone away.

What I would do differently, is have to within reason, sell the Buffaloes to the Community. Instead, the Black, or better yet, the HBCU Community would hate Colorado with a Passion because Deion Sanders was only interested in selling them Down the River and that had implications on Bethune Cookman missing out on Ed Reed.

This is not a Michigan or Wisconsin, where Bo Schembeckler or Barry Alvarez had to quell the Gossip in each of the Early Press Conferences. If I was a Future Ralphie Student, I'd be livid about most of my Non-2020 Seasons being in the Sun.

I'd feel that Colorado is Riding the Storm Out a Little Too Much.

Where are All The Detail Guys On These NASCAR and ARCA Pit Crews?

 Frankly, where are all the Detail Guys On these NASCAR and ARCA Pit Crews? We over focus on Student Athletes and Engines, but, Detail Guys have to be Doing their Job? Or are they?

What bothers me is that Roll Cages are there for a Reason, and they are not meant to move. Since Richie Evans, Roll Cages have been in Business for a Reason.

I'd feel a lot of these teams have gotten Clubby and not in a Good Way. We have focused on Rent-A-Wrecks, but, actually wrecked cars are not fun.

Auto Racing is not a Frivolous Field. We'd dedicate and throw ourselves to Cars that would look worse in 10 Years, but, Not Roll Cages.

I'd also feel the Automotive Field has gotten in the Worst Shape its been in approximately, ever, and not in a good way, either.

Why is Michigan State Taken to the Woodshed over Friday Night Football?

 Most times of year, if you play Under the Friday Night Lights, it is a Compliment. But, I feel for Michigan State, it is not flattery or complimentary. I'd find that Michigan State feeds off of Chaos and that is Dangerous as much as Unsustainable.

I'd feel the Only Time it would be Socially Acceptable to do Friday Night Football in College is if you had something unavoidable, like an Atlantic Hurricane or a Pre-Existing Commitment. Frankly, I am not apologizing for Sparty, which their Fan Base has been taken to the Woodshed and then some the last few years.

This is not one of those moments. Big Ten Territory Football is in the Worst Shape Anyone Can Remember, and that is not an Understatement. The tropes are dangerous, and I'd expect to look up to these Schools and take them to Florida or UNLV.

Most of the Territory Schools don't do Thursday Night Games and that does put the Iso in Isolation. I'd hate to see Dysfunction and a lot of people hate to see Dysfunction, too, and it is a Mayday COVID has left Open.

People do not put up with J-O-K-E Cultures and they do not want that.

Is the Wisconsin Man and His Family Going to Get Stuck With a Mom Stealer after Aaron Rodgers?

 I feel that since the Aaron Rodgers Trade has gone down, the question is the Wisconsin Man and His Family Going to Get Stuck With a Mom Stealer after Aaron Rodgers? I hate asking the question, but, the Wisconsin Man and His Family have gotten too comfortable with the Penn and Teller and that is not their Family Life.

It bothers me that they should have pulled this trade off 5 Years Ago because the Jordy, Hawk, Matthews and Lacy they all wasted for Nothing! Nothing! And the Wisconsin Man makes hay when the Sun Shines.

I am nowhere close to letting anyone off the hook and there is not a "Days of Our Packers" like the "Days of Our Steelers" which the Killer B's got ruined and unemployed in Short Order. I'd feel that what Green Bay lacks is a New Built Stadium, which you'd have to rattle the Owners Cages just to do, amid 30 Other Things.

This is not Rachel's Baby! I'd feel that the luster of the Green Bay Packers would dim and that is dangerous, and the NFC is the Most Up For Grabs in History. 

If the Wisconsin Man and His Family have to Defend their Moms like their Daughters and we'd need the Commander in Chief to be in Charge of the Commanders and their Hail Stones, it would be one Dangerous Motorcycle Ride.

Should the IOC Put a Stop to Trevor Bauer's Globetrotting?

 Since Trevor Bauer has trotted over to Japan, I wonder should the IOC Put a Stop to Trevor Bauer's Globetrotting? It's bad enough he is opinionated, but, essentially being given the Boot from Baseball Stateside was not enough.

What doesn't make me comfortable is the IOC should have a Responsibility as the World's School for Sports to put a Stop to Problem Athletes. Frankly, Baseball should be home to Good People, and Trevor Bauer is not that.

What is for shame is when Hall of Fame Roach Scott Boras throws you off his Rat Ship, that's a problem. I would Call the Cops if Trevor Bauer came to my doorstep!

Frankly, this is Below Deck even for Below Deck. I'd feel better if Trevor Bauer did not use Japan to Return to the States and I'd feel he'd be met with Interpol just to get him home, in Handcuffs.


Is Jonathan Majors Throwing Out Being Denzel Washington and Marvel to the Curb?

 I do not like being Charley Steiner to the Blogging Community, but, what I feel is Jonathan Majors is Throwing Out Being Both Denzel Washington and Marvel to the Curb. I'd feel Denzel is the better example because he actively sought out Meaty Roles and did them better.

This is not a Hollywood Blog and that Jonathan Majors's Major Pains is causing more problems than it solves. I'd feel that casting is hard enough in positive times, but, we have not been too far removed from the Pandemic and #MeToo in Recent Times.

What I would feel is Disney does not like Crisis in their Mickey Mouse Club and frankly, I'd feel the clubhouse is getting a little too crowded.

For every time I'd see a Black Actor who'd be en route to the Next Denzel, they'd do something inappropriate to throw that chance in the Garbage. And, it is not a comfortable thought.

I'd feel the Star Making Machine is Broken and everyone's accepted it as opposed to repaired it, and that is dangerous. I'd feel we are in Denial over the Star Machine and that has not been for 1 Year or 2 Years, but for Years.

College Football Bonus Games November 14th

 This is my November 14th College Football Bonus Games Slate and without further ado, I am starting with...

West Virginia @ Penn State

And again, I am doubling down the Forgotten Third of the Backyard Brawl, in less than Summer Vacation Conditions

Illinois vs. Missouri @ St. Louis

I'm not just giving Braggin' Rights the Game, but, including Braggin' Rights The Dome With It.

Iowa @ Grinnell

I am wanting the Hawkeyes and the Pioneers at the Pioneers

Colorado @ Air Force

I am tying the Wagons with Colorado @ Air Force.

New Mexico @ UTEP

I am closing out the Bonus Games for 2023 with a Lid Closer at the Sun Bowl.

Denver Needed Bandimere Closing like a Hole in the Head!

 Where Denver has made and lost their behind is Generation X. It is a Safe Reaction that Denver needed Bandimere Speedway Closing like a Hole in the Head! I wouldn't bore you with details about "Sister" Stephanie, or Eric and Dylan, but it is Denver's One Toy.

I feel Jefferson County, Colorado always runs for the Hills when they are publicized and that is worse than Hollywood. I do not like it because I've never been to Denver and I'd want to see something like Take Someone to the Slopes, Independent Movies or the Coffee Shop without being a Pig.

Denver did not need it. I don't think Furniture Row would have Stuck Well with Local Options, and it would have rolled like a Morgan McClure. I'd feel the NHRA has to find Replacements and thankfully, it is not being caught like Englishtown and dropping everything in Midstream.

Frankly, for Giggles, I'd want to bring out Eddie Hill's Top Fueler just to say I'd be on the Eddie Hill Simulator for Fun.

Friday, April 21, 2023

Identity Crisis

 I feel since Kum and Go cashed out, I feel my State is Whole Hog in an Identity Crisis. I do not like it!

I would wonder loudly and angrily Go Us! and Say that with Meaning! I feel the things we'd need to get back to is Defending Women (Within Reason) and the Environment.

Frankly, Our Saturday Night and Monday Morning Energy is Bland and that is Not Good. You can't be the best person on Saturday Night and do squat on Monday Morning.

It would be the Friday Afternoon-Weekend-Monday Morning Trifecta back in School, unless you where Sick at Any Point in that Trifecta, it meant being at School Friday Afternoon for Weekend Activities and Monday Practice.

Frankly, that ethic is at its Zenith and the 13-30 Scene is at the Worst Shape its Ever Been. The 13-30 Scene is Crucial not just because of Teens and Twentysomethings, but, the People Around Them.

Jobs are key to our Identity and I don't want to be All All Right or Fun While Its There Again and have a Collapse of Consequence. Soft Leadership is Dangerous and Toxic and the Dudes and the Bros always want to take advantage of it.

Frankly, I have not had 3 Years anywhere Outside Goodwill and I'll be 38 June 1st. Even though I'd know how to work, but, the dangerous thing is having to be kept on track.

College Football Bonus Games November 7th "Referendum Day"

 I'll tie up the Wagons of the College Football Bonus Games for November 7th, IE "Referendum Day" as we'd have Big Matches and Rematches on the Family Table.

I'll Start with the Last Annual "Big Never" before Oklahoma's Big Move to the SEC...

Oklahoma @ Georgia

Generally, it would be a Late Summer Classic, but, I'd sneak it in on a Day where Referendums Matter.

Texas @ Texas A and M

My only regret is I would not get Texas-Texas A and M in Analog This Year

Memphis @ Louisville

I'd finish the Memphis-Cincinnati-Louisville Triangle, which shockingly, won't happen this year.

Pitt @ West Virginia

I'd double down on West Virginia's Backyard Brawl with a Proper, Late Season Version of the Backyard Brawl.

Colorado @ Missouri "5th Down in Primetime" 

I'm sure it would not be the 1st or Last Primetime Induced Grudge Matches.

Who Would Replace Las Vegas in Triple A Baseball?

 Since the Las Vegas A's are going to be Official, I feel who is going to replace Las Vegas in Triple A Baseball? I'd want to start with these 5 Markets that Should be In Triple A and I'd find at Some Point, Minor League Baseball would have enough of Memphis, too.

1. Wichita. I'd feel it would undo the Bone that Wichita being Promoted to Triple A Baseball and having a Triple A Stadium to Boot, which has caused Consternation and Rankor among Community Members. Ideally, I would want a Pre-Existing Double A Team or a True Expansion (Preferably Double A) to elevate.

2. Arkansas. I would want the Arkansas Travelers to be Triple A, which they've been forlorn on Identity since the St. Louis Cardinals left town. I like having a Classic (Unaltered) Name in Triple A Baseball and I would want Little Rock to be in Triple A to retain their Baseball Ties, but, Wichita is a Front-Runner for a Reason.

3. Jacksonville. Jacksonville should be in Triple A because we don't have a Florida Team in Triple A. The downside is the Jumbo Shrimp Name is more of a Marketing Ploy.

4. Orlando. Orlando does not have Minor League Baseball and I feel that it would be a Hub Market.

5. Hawaii. The things my Aunt Cindy say is you Can't be Over 30, Dating and Have No Social Skills. The scary thought besides all the above, is the Pacific Coast League does not have a lot of True Pacific Coast Markets and that might reopen the Marshall Plan again this decade further.

I'd feel that we'd have to restart the Milwaukee Brewers and Washington Senators back in the American League and one of those Expansions has to be the Montreal Expos.

Tear Down. Rebuild. The Tara. Is Northern Iowa's Presidential Curse Real?

 I feel in Northeast Iowa, you need a Twisted Sunday (Coach Thomas) to have a Home Field Advantage, or accountability. Some of the Best High School Sports in the .U.S of A have gone Stale, and that is a Dirty Rotten Crying Shame.

Northern Iowa has increasingly gotten worse through the Years and their NCAA Title Hex has an Interesting and Colorful Name: The Presidential Curse. It would be 46 Years and 46 United States Presidents, which is why it got its name.

The "All That I Give" backbeat .U.S. Cellular is using in one of their ads makes me think of Nate Dogg's Vocals in "21 Questions". And, I feel Northern Iowa has plenty of Great People and the Helmet Toss over Northeast Iowa is not good.

It is not good especially if Waterloo-Cedar Falls is Segregated and has no unity. It is also "NOT GOOD!" when you collect Playoff Berths like Boardwood and the least I could do is see potential Rest of Your Life Championships Crash the Boards worse than a Homer Simpson pressed into Work.

The UNI Dome has to expect better than Tim Dwight relaying more times than "My Sharona" hit the Charts through the Years. Northern Iowa generally is Fun Loving and Easy Going, but, her Curse is Neither of Those.

Let's Throw Money At NASA!

 I feel that 4-20 has grown very uncomfortably like a Texas beating Baylor Narrative, and it is dangerous. I find Mr. Bezos and Mr. Musk's Space Race has gotten very rude and uncomfortable.

I'd find the Answer is Let's Throw Money at NASA! If I where to Run for Public Office, my 5 Tenets would be Schools, Prisons, Under 18, Over 50 and the Space Program. Frankly, I do not want Red Bull or Amazon Hog Space or Space like they've made a mockery of Sports Cars.

If we threw money at NASA, the Space Race would be Safe and Civilized. We'd have more Presidents than Principals the way we are going, and I'd find, let's make the most of this day.

We'd have too many Under 30's like we'd have Too Many Moms and No Betty Mohn to Correct You Over the Phone, and that is a Problem. The rub is way too many of them are Un and Underdisciplined like we aren't all Un and Underinsured and that is a Cancer.

Frankly, I am tired and I'd care too hard where others don't care at all.

College Football Bonus Games October 31st

 This is my Trick or Treat College Football Bonus Games Mock Up and these are Dandies for Good Reason, if they where Real

Clemson @ South Carolina State

Usually, this game would be at Clemson, but, I'd decided to flip the script and send them to Orangeburg.

Duke @ North Carolina A and T

I'd take the Home of the ACC Quite Literally

North Carolina @ North Carolina Central

This would be a Great Future Conference Rivalry

Grinnell @ Coe

I'd want to tie the Loose End of the Grinnell-Coe-Cornell College Triangle Up

Georgia @ TCU "Hypno-Towing Halloween in Fort Worth"

I'd not just want a Grudge Match, but a National Championship Rematch

Wednesday, April 19, 2023

The BOSS vs. PowrI War is the Bad Side of Wing Sprint Car Racing Going GDP

 Basically, I get mad at the Wing Sprint Car Racing Going GDP and the Indy Car Scene doesn't. There is reason why I'd get mad.

The BOSS Series is going the Cease and Desist Route against the PowrI Series, which Kyle Larson made famous, and it is basically going all out Stealing a Series.

Frankly, my G-D-Peeve for all intents and purposes is who is doing the checking and rechecking. I doubt any of these other Local Businesses are too happy, to put it mildly to be briefed in Court.

I bet their Fans are not too thrilled, either.

There is another reason I'd get mad over having to howl "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" like it was on my TV everyday. It is the Non Wing Sprint Cars, and I'd wished they'd run AT and T or Reliant the Same as the Chili Bowl, or their Summer Classics got the Same Pay as the Chili Bowl.

There is reason I am a Stickler and that Sticklerly includes "STOP COMPARING ME TO MY SISTER!" or "I'M NOT INTERESTED IN ANOTHER!" and frankly, people hold tight to their Babies, Babies and Beauties and I'd even have No Idea how much Pain or Turmoil Going Across America or the World does have.

I'd wish that we'd have Bob Jenkins all over again to talk about Tractors or Sprint Cars like Formula One, which has too many Cats Clocked Out, or NASCAR, because I'd miss the Cover Everyone Equally Within Reason Age.


2023 Commissioner's Classic Week of August 19th

 This is the Week of August 19th Commissioner's Classic and I'll Start Off With A Bang and Have What Would be Sports Classics Litter the Board

August 14th

North Dakota State @ Mount Union (OH) This game would be the "Beat Niles" of the College Scene

Missouri @ Kansas "Border War"

Kentucky @ Indiana "Revival Barrel"

Virginia @ Fresno State

Miami (FL) @ Hawaii The U on the Islands Is Not A Breeze

August 15th

Texas vs. Arkansas @ Little Rock The Uncivil War is Coming to the Rock!

S. Carolina St. @ S. Carolina

N. Carolina A and T @ N. Carolina

N. Carolina Central @ Duke

Penn State @ Pitt

August 17th

San Jose State @ Syracuse

Temple @ UCLA

Notre Dame @ UNLV This is in response to Notre Dame going to Las Vegas without UNLV being there.

Colorado @ Colorado State

Kansas State @ Washington

August 18th

Toledo @ East Carolina

Georgia Tech @ Alabama

Nebraska @ Oklahoma

N. Mexico State @ New Mexico

Florida State @ Oregon

Ohio State @ Miami (OH)

Boston College @ Wisconsin

UMass @ USC

Did Live! Jump the Shark With No Cedar Rapids Affliate?

 I feel the fissures with Live run deeper than the Fab 5 as I feel it jumped the Shark with a Business Move we where Blindsided in the Middle of the Tokyo Olympics: Live Not Being a Cedar Rapids Affiliated Show.

A lot of the moves between Quincy, Gray and Allen where Forced, especially when you had Trucks (And People Moving) because they had the same markets. This could cut open a Raw Nerve because we would not have Oprah or Live, in its many iteriations, Live for the 1st Time in My Lifetime.

And, while we we are at it, Cedar Rapids was the 1st in Line Outside New York for Live! and it was a Welcome Bastion from the Infamous Trash TV and KGAN always had Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee and the Price is Right Back to Back for Years.

Making a National Story Local is Not My Bag, but, the Kelly and Ryan Years made Live worse and not better and Ryan Seacrest's James Brown Work Ethic did not make anyone feel good, for all kicks and giggles, either.

Would Matt Walsh Be Met With An Arrest Warrant if He Came Back to Iowa?

 I feel that Matt Walsh waltzing in to My State's House and Proceeding to Make People Mad like Breaking News: Nothing Happened! is a Problem. Speaking of Problems, we are not a United Front and Iowa Needed Bad Publicity like they needed a Hole in the Head.

To be fair, Matt Walsh would be met with an Arrest Warrant if he Came Back to Iowa. Iowa would feel "Don't Come Back" and the dangerous thing, is these Stuntmen are Becoming Normal, 

The Harm is Not Normal and the Harmlessness or the Lack or Regard like it is Harmless is Very Dangerous. Even if it was Mount Mercy, I would rather have Barry Switzer or Steve Spurrier.


2023 Commissioner's Classic Games Week of August 12th

 I'll start my Commissioner's Classic Slate with a Bang and have 2 Big Games to Open the Season

August 6th

Miami (FL) @ Fresno State

This would be the 1st to the Coast's Fresno State Bulldogs Lid Lifter and What Better Way to Start than the Miami Hurricanes.

Virginia @ Hawaii

I'd especially want to Start Virginia on the Islands, to make up for Losing the End of the Season.

August 7th

Indiana @ Tennessee

The Revival Barrel

SMU @ Texas

This is the 4th Straight Year I've Slated SMU and Texas

Georgia Tech @ Colorado

This would be the 5th Straight Year of 6 I'd slate the Buffaloes and the Yellow Jackets before they'd meet for Reals in 2025

August 8th

St. Thomas (MN) @ St. John's (MN)

I'd insist on Tommies-Johnnies actually be at the Home of the Johnnies and Outlying Minnesota

Drake @ Grand View

I'd insist on a Regular Season Drake @ Grand View.

Georgia @ Northern Iowa

Normally, I'd reserve the Hawaii Position for the National Champions, but, I'd want to have the Defending National Champions come to the UNI-Dome.

Iowa State @ Missouri "Telephone Trophy"

Mt. Union (OH) @ Arizona

Arizona was a Hair from being in the Bowls last year and Mt. Union would be a better match than North Central (IL)

Not Having Game Day in Cedar Rapids Hurts Everybody!

 In response to the Veterans Memorial Stadium Burglary and Vandalism, I feel mad that Not Having Game Day in Cedar Rapids Hurts Everybody! The ostentation hurts and stings, especially if Burlington and Clinton where not able to have Full Season Minor League Baseball after 2020.

What really hurts, is amid other things, Vandalism is a Side Effect, if not the main ingredient of a Drug Culture and worse than a Drug Culture, no one Driving the Car, or even being interested in Servicing the Car. 

I feel that a lot of the Kernels's Base is Blue Collar Wild West Siders and the lassos on Ingredion Last Christmas have an effect on Dining Out, Kernels and Roughriders, Jefferson and the Collar, and my favorite, Jobs, particularly my own I had at Fong's.

No one driving the Car has an Injury on Our Education Culture, where not that long ago, Washington had a Lasso on District Swimming and MVC Championships. Our Sports Culture is Very, Very Inconsistent and that is on our best days.

Frankly, I am antsy and this is not the Image a 60 Plus Michelle Martinko, if she was here, would want to see. We haven't won since the few last days before "Friends", and my friends are harder to find, too.

The image we have is a PROBLEM and a big one at that, and I feel its too much a Door, Window and a Whole House. We don't tolerate gimmicks, much to my chagrin on some things, but, we don't see an out or $ for Replacement.

Child. Please! Is the Quality and Quantity of Work Going Up In Smoke?

 I feel madder than a Wet Hen that the Quality and the Quantity of Work is Going Up in Smoke in a Big Way. It would be one thing if the Smoke was in Amsterdam, but, if your going to Smoke Chimneys like the EPA was not on your case, its a Problem.

The deflection of all these Marijuana and Marijuana Accessories is causing a Repellence to our Culture. I feel that Excess was a Problem before the Pandemic, but, its only gotten worse since we've been on House Arrest.

Some of these people actually do need House Arrest to keep them out of trouble, and the Bum Steer is their Neighbors might not like it. We'd have so many N-F-Teases that we'd swear North Fayette was back again.

The truth is, we don't have anything of substance and the Kids are Going to have to learn Expulsion Process along with NCAA Rules and the Declaration of Independence. In just Cedar Rapids and Marion, having a 40 Percent Substance Abuse Rate takes away Jobs from People that need work.

I would not feel comfortable with Working With Kids when I'm Already a Handful. To be fair, it is a Drain and a Drag that we can't shake the Seth and Toby Creeps and the bad thing is, some people see a Whole House when Others See a Door.

Can't We Do All American Points For NASCAR?

 I don't like being a Bad News Bear, but, can't we do All American Points For NASCAR? I feel this circumstance would be in response to Ty Gibbs or Noah Gragson, who a lot of us Stock Car Fans do not like. Speaking of not like, this would not be the only All American (Not the CW Show, Keep Your Pants On) Move.

I'd felt strongly enough about Ty Gibbs's XFinity Championship to want Josh Berry and Justin Allgaier to be Preseason 1-2 in the Driver of the Year, largely for Roger Dolan's Legacy. (Which Roger Dolan is actually from my Hometown of Lisbon,Iowa).

The awarding of Peyton Sellers, then, the rescinding of Peyton Sellers's All American Championship to Layne Riggs did not go over well with Peyton Sellers's Fans last year.

I'd feel it would have came in handy for Josh Berry (Who himself is an All American Champion) and Jordan Taylor, and I would want to see such a plan into existence.

Get Your Issue: Why Not Limited Issue a 42 for Major League Baseball?

 I am wanting Major League Baseball to have to Limited Issue Jackie Robinson's 42 in the Future. What is obvious is Most Adults do not have respect for Baseball History, or History in General.

What is not fun is having to deal with the Business Side of Baseball and Olympic Sports. What I'd like to see is more of a Restorative Justice for Baseball History.

It is a loaded subject and I don't want to go on in detail, but, it is very true.

Being a Role Model For Kids is Crucial

 I feel this eats me up that we'd have an Overrun of Media and Celebrity and having to be Role Models for Kids is Crucial. I don't have to swear just to swear, but, kids do pick up on that. 

Sports is about Character and I feel that Character gets us out of the house. Instead, we confuse Character with Characters and that is an issue.

I am not proud of everything and I feel that the things that need Work are Women and the Environment. Instead, we'd have a Substance Abuse Rate here in Cedar Rapids of 40 Percent, which thins out Jobs and Money.

That rate upsets Families and puts us on to Money. I do not mind Money, but, what I do mind is the "Oh Boy, Money!" Ethic like we have to be Buddy The Elf July 18th and that grates our Bodies and Minds. We'd already have our Minds Grated like Wisconsin Cheese and our Bodies are not much better.

That leads to the Soul and the Soul would not take Fresh Ways to Spin RICO or Narcolepsy like we'd need another reason to be at home. The moral is do not be a Nut, or it would be harder to get money.

All three need repair and the Wings keep Crashing and literally, no one knows why. After a while, you'd have to keep digging something other than your Heels, and that is saying a lot.

Andrew Tate is a Dangerous Man

 Andrew Tate is a Dangerous Man and Celebrity is a Privilege, Not a Right. I feel that if it was here in Marion, I would have been Barking at the Moon like Ozzie for Justice. What is not harmless is Celebrity is a Privilege, Not A Right.

We'd go about Celebrity like it was at Target and not everyone has a handle on Overnight or Long Term Celebrity. I hate going to be the Beck and Call Out as opposed to being the Bubble like Indianapolis, but, someone has to do it.

What Andrew Tate is a Serial Rapist. That phrase is more pointed than Cancer to Some People, but, I'd feel rotten we have had a Serial Liar and a Rapist or Rapists in Charge of the Free World like it is new.

Frankly, it is not new. What Interpol has to do is Free Up Women's Justice the Same Way as Sadaam Hussein's Verdict in the 2000's. And, we where the Year of the Woman and the Year of the Child interchangeably in the 1990's.

There is More People Around Rick Ware Racing than Helping Rick Ware Racing

 I do not like the fact there are more people around Rick Ware Racing like a Bad Dad than helping Rick Ware Racing. It doesn't help that they took Southern Illinois Out of the Race Team Scene again.

It's bad enough when One of Your Family Members is a Liability. But to have 2 and to Shamelessly be Shilling Yourself Everywhere, it is a problem.

I'd really wish that the Indianapolis 500 Entry List would be 50 A Main Cars to have 2 Weekends of Qualifying instead of 1, but, that is beside the issue.

I don't know what Rick Ware would do if Jenson Button elects to call his NASCAR Test off. Even for this Very Charitable Period in NASCAR History, Rick Ware's Cars are Back of 25th.

Instead of Mental Health, we should be looking into Behavioral Problems because School has been Way Too Nice. The financial claws on Rick Ware is Very Serious and I'd want Sarah Moore in Indy Car, but, I'd be setting her up for Disappointment and Worse if I sent her to Rick Ware.

If you have a Jay Leno Garage with Jay Leno Parts, at least have the decency to deal with sponsors or people appropriately rather than having your Fans Stan Against the Establishment. There are Times and Places for That, but, Twitter Beefs are Not One of them.

I'd feel in the Heat of the Season, Rick and Morty's Joy Ride would Come Up in Smoke when Everyone Else is Improving or Trying to Improve and to put it delicately, it is a Cone of Underachievement that is Simpsonian to the Extreme.

This is a Year where'd we'd be Brutal to Bad News Bears Ownership and Fans Won't Take It.

Please, Let the Car Guys Win!

 I hate to make this about Cody Ware, but, what I don't feel comfortable with is Arrests and being Spoon Fed Activism. One thing, among others, that I'd be too nice to flee is not letting the Car Guys Win.

I don't like to see a Townley Trope where someone with Marginal Talent, and Daddy's Cash, gets into Cars, or in this case, Multiple Cars and Destroys them. I'd starve for the Next AJ Foyt to do Actual AJ Foyt things and what is serious is the turns on the Cody Ware Story is Sickening.

The bad thing about an Ankle Monitor is YOU CAN'T GO NOWHERE! What I'd rather see coming out of this Year in the 2048 Diet is 40 Year People that are Positive and Letting the Car Guys Win and Win Big.

What is worse is Daddy Plasters Cars and Everyone is Not Good. If I where Dearborn, I'd look for someone who is interested in Learning and Working. We have plenty of Mechanics who do not hold down their Region or their State like a Boat Anchor.

Cars are Hard Work and need to be Taken Seriously. Frankly, I am going bald for solutions like this is a Joke, but, it is not.

Rule Number One in Sports is you don't hire anyone who'd crumb or otherwise crumb an establishment. Even though it is Softball, but, I wouldn't want my Guy delivering Pizzas after he did Wrong and if you had to deliver Pizzas for living, that is not a good gesture.

No, CM Punk, You Can't Bribe Us With Ice Cream Bars Again!

 The treachery in the AEW Locker Room is so afoot about CM Punk that some of the Wrestlers have to be talked to individually about bringing CM Punk Back. Who am I kidding, it is not Clue, but one thing is for certain, CM Punk can't bribe us with $100,000 Worth of Ice Cream Bars for Free Again!

If I where to spend my Hard Earned Money on AEW, I couldn't stand for MJF doing Nothing like he is a More Narcissistic Miz and I couldn't stand for my heroes doing less than nothing. That would have to involve bringing my Parents or Relatives and for all intents and purposes, Seth Rollins "Burning it Down" With WWE would be a Point of No Return for the Federation.

If this was a Fight Commission, do you think they'd know what to do with Titantrons, Ring Gear, Trucks and Lisbon Men and Women?

The answer is No and I feel we'd be on a Collision Course for a Monday Nitro and 83 Weeks or a Saturday Night Special instead of just holding down YouTubes like we got jobs. I feel it was Blow it Out Somewhere that Wasn't Family Friendly with SoFi, because the Buzz around Jerry's was that where they or weren't they going to rewrite the Silverdome's Wrestlemania and United States Record many swore they'd never saw rewritten.

Tony Khan is starting to botch in the Spotlight, and that is a Major Problem.

Deuce Robertson Still Is On The Loose

 I feel that Colorado always drops the Bag When it Comes to Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment and it is a 3rd World Campus. Not a knock, but, True Life. I feel that they should lower the clamps on Anthony "Deuce" Robertson before he gets on the loose.

The truth is, he is On The Loose. He is not allowed near Colorado or any Colorado Buffalo, but, what Buffaloes Me, for all intents and purposes, is this is a Nick Caracci Nightmare and then some.

What Deion has brought with the Saturday Night Lights is the fact Non-Violence is not one of them. I'll get on my Horse and Beat USC, but, including Miami, being Obsessive Compulsive Liars is Colorado's Brand.

This is one Saturday Night Special that no one wants a part of, and I feel the Athletic Director's Holdup is speaking louder than words.

To Be Concluded: Vince McMahon

 I feel that as a Sports Fan, this has a Matrix Effect that is Very Appropriate. Vince McMahon will not change his ways, and the Bloodline's 2 Year Belt Bloodbath only has Worsened WWE Belts to the Point of No Return.

I feel that a lot of things Tony Khan is doing is to counter Vince McMahon, and if we had 1990's Money to Go With these GDP Deals, we'd be G-D-Peeved and Worse, the Antitrust Mavens would have gone at us like No Tomorrow.

What Vince McMahon has left is a 40 Year Summer Camp, except, the Not So Fun Side of Summer Camp equalled a lot of those heroes dying or worse than dying, having to be lost quicker than the General Population.

If Tony Khan had to be left to Beaver with Pro Wrestling, for starters, he'd be Socially Awkward with No Wife or Kids to say "Don't Do This" or "Don't Do That". Either we'd have a Monday Nitro This Fall or a Dress Rehersal for a Monday Nitro to alter the DNA of Television.


The Bad News Commanders

 The embers of Dan Snyder's Bad News Washington Commanders will be so long lived that we'd need an Expansion League JUST to Revive the San Diego Chargers and St. Louis get True Expansion. We've seen the "Bad News Bears" enough times never to leave Sports to Juvenile Delinquents or Worse, Man Who'd Wear Something Suspiciously Like Women's Underwear.

But, Dan Snyder had No Plan with a Class Organization and It Became Life and Death. Washington DC needed Character, not a Series of Characters that would make Cleveland Saintly. What embers would become is having to need Expansion just to make the Commanders Whole, and having to Tear Down, Rebuild and The Tara RFK.

The way Washington DC would be Done, if Done Appropriately, is having to be a More Established Odessa Permian, and having Friday Nights feel more Established than that of Sunday Afternoon. This would not be the 1980's Transfer Someone to School Play when they are Academically Ineligible and the Complaints Piled On like Bodywork.

Most Adults have not seen a Succession of American Presidencies that didn't go into the Joke Box. We'd give and give Free Swag like we'd have a Dick's Sporting Goods at the White House and get nothing back in return.

Wale got nothing in return for launching 6 Other Potential Careers on His Debut Album, which was Critically Acclaimed. And, what is draining, is we don't have a Marvin Gaye to Heal the Inner City.

The 2048 Diet and The Renee Diet

 I feel that I would do a Double Post, especially on the 2048 Diet and the Renee Diet. I am not a Dietician, and it shows.

What shows on the 2048 Diet is wanting to leave 2023 Better than 1998, and the reactions to things not going our way is out and out too much. What is too much, too, is we'd throw money institutionally down the drain for people who at most make 10 to 15 Years at Best.

The Renee Diet calls out what the Olympics Should Be: Winning With Honor, and Winning With Integrity. Instead, Olympic Sports is lost in the Big Business Trap, and that traps Women in a Big Way.

It would be a little too charitable to say The Olympic Diet like The Subway Diet or The Supercross Diet, but, I'd remark the Olympic Hero that called Out Dr. Nassar's Generation Joyride for Good.

Frankly, most of us are Hungry and Angry and I would want a 50 Cent leading to 10 Other Things in my Future Life. The other part of Winning With Honor and Integrity is Competing With Honor and Integrity.

This wouldn't be the first (or last time) I'd Rib Medicine, but, having to Overdo Medicine would cause People to Behave Differently and Counter its True Purpose like Weightlifting where the Only Good Thing is You Going for a New High.

Is The Diamond Doomed to History?

 I feel that The Diamond is Doomed to History in Richmond, Virginia. I'd love Richmond and I've never been to Richmond, and this Cuts a Deep Nerve because the Diamond is Not Riverfront Stadium in Waterloo, which is Still in Commission, and John O'Donnell Riverfront Stadium in Davenport, which is its Original Name.

I am thinking a lot of 2020 is making Minor League Baseball Full Season Towns play "Scared to Lose" like Lisa Loeb's "Stay" and Towns like Mine had to basically, reskin a Period Specific Late 1990's/Early 2000's Stadium to keep Baseball in Business in Cedar Rapids.

The whole selling point of The Diamond was having More Bathrooms than that of Texas Stadium, which has since been decommissioned and that was in the National Sports News. The reality in the 804 is Everyone has Been Arguing and No One has been Cranking Up The Juice, especially if their Team (The R-Braves) hit the exits over the Same Diamond.

Nothing Good Comes Out of the Box if Labor Day is the Finale, and I wished everyone in the RVA heeded that lesson in the 2000's because they'd now have little and no other choice but to build new.

We Want Moore of Sarah for the Indianapolis 500

 This is not a Fan Boy Post. This is honestly, me wanting Moore (More) of Sarah Moore in Auto Racing from the W Series into the Indianapolis 500. I feel mad that Cody Ware has brought nothing but shame in Showing His Manhood, to keep it PG, and the Ware Outfit is Sus as All Hell.

I really want Sarah Moore because she'd run on the Same Team The Late Justin Wilson put on the Map.

I'd even put 2 Drivers of the Year Just for Sarah Moore and that is no Understatement.

Speaking of Understatement, I feel happier if we broke through the Walls just to see Sarah Moore Win.

Is Barstool Responsible For the Decline in Sports Radio?

 I'd feel that Barstool Sports and its trashy ilk are Responsible for a Decline in Sports Radio. It takes the Shock Jock Mentality of th...
