Kid Rock is Not The Guy to Trust!

 I feel with Aaron Lewis, what bothers me is Kid Rock is Not the Guy to Trust! Kid Rock would have had Waylon Jennings Talent and then some, but, instead of the Diabetes and Anger, its always Indifference and Apathy.

People would have hard feelings about the Worst Post-TNN Calendar (Since 1984) in Country Music. And, what TNN, or better yet, Gaylord helped, is make Country Music and Nashville Marketable to Families.

Think of this way, it would be a Bigger Version of the Chicago Radio Dial, First Thing in the Morning to the Last Thing at Night. I feel that the Industry Still Runs from Maren Morris as She Has a Lana Del Rayesque Aura, except, Radio Stations where more tired of putting her Music Everywhere more than Britney Spears.

I like Aaron Lewis's Work Ethic, but, I do not like his Choice of Words. Joe Rogan would be more of a Death Penalty for Public Opinion than that of Howard Stern, and he'd be living a Handsome 33 Million Dollars a Day for His Work, and he'd take being a Hermit or a Recluse to the Extreme.

What's Scarier is Country Music and Nashville would have to make Harder Cuts than the Grand Ole Opry at the Turn of the Millennium. Promoters do not like Beer Tosses, or Burnt Bridges at all.

08242025 College Football Poll

 For this Weeks College Football Poll, the Starting Line is Actual Conference Games, and Western Kentucky- Sam Houston State would be the Only and Less Publicized Conference Game on American Soil and Without Further Ado, here is my Poll.

1 Western Kentucky           1-0  1-0  8-30 North Alabama 13 +12

What I like around the Hilltoppers is that they'd win the Only Conference Game on American Soil This Weekend.

2 Iowa State                        1-0  1-0  8-30 South Dakota    NR

Iowa State enters the Poll with a Farmageddon Win over Kansas State. I would not like missing the Manhattan Round of the Rivalry for a Significant Amount of Time, but, Kansas State having their Quarterback's Family resort to Violence is a Problem which being Jilted by both TCU (Home Cooking) and Will Howard leaving Town to be a National Hero would anger up the Blood on the Purple Prairie as they are the Only 1980's Conference Member without an NCAA Championship anywhere in their House.

20 Minnesota                   0-0 0-0     8-28 Buffalo             20

Dropped Out:

11 Texas Tech

15 Colorado State

And in closing, here are Some of my Other Callouts:

1. Michigan State is not the "Big Money, Little Results" Champion, but, they'd have a Worse Habit of "Big Money, Bigger Litigation" Champion.

2. Stanford is the Worst Money that I could ever remember and

3. USC's Last 3 Full Time Head Coaches (Kiffin, Sarkisian, and Helton) have been Midseason Replacements, which Cheapens the Luster of not only USC, but, USC-Notre Dame.

Sports History Should Be Preserved

 With today being the Day where the North Stars in kind Retired Numbers Meet (8 and 19) and the Reason Why Minnesota Coaches don't like issuing any 8 or 19 on Ice, I would feel Sports History Should Be Preserved.

I don't mean everything, but I feel that it should be Preserved and Honored. I don't think anything would be done Politically Currently, as Plenty of Nothing would be the Expectation.

What I would not like is having to Pull Teeth on why Houston Oilers History should be Repatriated, especially when the Luv Ya Blues are in Ill Health.

And, the people that made Grambling Grambling Can't Go Anywhere. I would not like Capos or Impersonators running amok, as Social Media has weeded out the Screening Process or Processes.

The Zero Tolerance Policy Report

 I would scream that it would be a Solid Year Without Agent Zero, Scott Bloomquist, and in Dirt Late Model Racing, we'd have 3 Whole Career and Life Defining Suspensions (Taylor Farling, Bob Gardner and Cade Dillard) and nobody has tried to check the Car Counts from Beginning, Middle and End.

Where Dirt Late Model Racing is Lost Without Agent Zero is having no Commander to Hold People Accountable. The East Tennessee Tracks would have a Better Policy and or Policies on Fighting or Other Arrests because they where tired of their Names being Drug in the News and Newspapers, among other places.

I would rather take someone from Lucas Oil to Cup, but, that would be a Longshot in Both Worlds. Where the World of Outlaws has lost their Ever Lovin' Mind is trusting Hulk Hogan before he Died, and the World Racing Group hasn't had a Good Track with Long Term Sponsors.

That would hurt the Dirt Late Model field, which the ASA's Revival would lap them, where for a Long Time, it was Out of Sight, Out of Mind except for the Courts. And, Spencer Hughes's Legal Problems would be a Serious Uninsurable if he's Not Guilty.

I feel not having the Deerys would dim Dirt Racing in Eastern Iowa, which that would be the Only thing anyone in Eastern Iowa would agree on.

Delaying Big Bucks Costs Big Bucks Too!

 I feel that the Huge Social Problem is Delaying Big Bucks, or the Social Responsibilities that Come With Those Big Bucks, Costs Big Money, too! The people that are Either On the Job or Looking For Work are Working Harder than Before Only to Make Up the Difference for Everyone Else.

I am not One to Just Have a Baby or Babies to be the Bigger Adult, instead, that is the Most Public Bar Exam there is. What I feel is Intoxicants are more Encouraged than the 1970's and Worse, we'd lead Headier and Edgier Lifestyles than the 1970's.

And, what these Influencers Expose is the Difference between Paper Thin and Paper Mache. Paper Thin would be having to keep up your Lifestyle and it catches up to your Work and Paper Mache would be your as Good as Your Status.

People would be Angry to be Called Down and for Good Reason. Paper Thin is Bad, Paper Mache is Worse and the Latter, there is no nothing on the Bandwidth's End to Show if they are Good People.

Making Too Many $400,000 Mistakes

 I feel that there are too many $400,000 Mistakes and Chief Among Them is Dropping Out of High School. Fair Warning: You Won't Get Your "Other" Senior Years!

What I would see Out of New Artists or Entertainers is Generally, On Average, they'd be Closer to 2 Years before things Bust than 5 Years. I do not think A and R's like to Search Indefinitely.

Being Expelled or Run Off would be a $800,000 Mistake and that would immediately Put Everything You'd Do Right Into the Criminal Justice System.

Education is Expensive and Help is NOT Indefinite! Even if we had "Everything for the Kids" Like Wisconsin, we'd still have to be Hawkish about HOW The Off Hours would Handle.

The 10 Worst Entertainment Series Contracts

 I am calling out of the Weeds the 10 Worst Entertainment Series Contracts on TV Right Now and they are All Time Great Problems:

1. Family Guy being the Most Expensive Show on TV

This is not a Compliment and to make matters worse, Seth McFarlane is Blackballed from the 25 Episode Season and for 10 to 15 Episodes, his Crew is Bigger Divas than Some Superstars, and that is Saying a Lot.

2. Sabrina Carpenter being Responsible for a Multi Season Rachel Green for Her Aunt

Nancy Cartwright did not become Bart Simpson until around Sabrina Carpenter's Age. And, The Simpsons still is not a Favorite of Dayton Dials. What bugs me is having to wave not only One Rachel Greens, but 4 as a Glorified Tax Shelter because Fox Knows they'd have a Short Leash.

3. Grey's Anatomy With Donor Parts

Grey's Anatomy is the Most Expensive 25 Episode Series and to make matters worse, it is all Donor Parts!

4. The Smackdown Problem on Fox

Fox Lawyers had to Stand their Ground on Vince McMahon, and that leads to a Multi Year Crutch of having an Open Friday Night, which feels more Canned than Exciting.

5. How Many More Big Bang Theories Should We Go Through?

The Post-Moonves Engine of CBS is having to Inundate Us with More Big Bang Theories and to make it worse, actual Series Development or New Series are Nowhere to be Found.

6. Are some of these Auto Racing Coverages Worse than your Local TV Station?

This is Serious and I feel a LOT of Auto Racing Coverage would Coast on Graphics. I would feel when Sir Jackie Stewart or Peter Hobbs came on your TV for Anything, it would be an Actual Event. Instead, Leigh Diffey does not exude that same Goodwill.

7.How many More Bachelors Should We Go Through?

The Bachelor has Increasingly been in the In Crowd, as the Inauthentic Crowd. Monopolizing Actual Series Developments because of the Writers Strike only worsens the Ink Blot.

8. Bravo Territory was not intended to be Territorial

No thanks to St. Louis being Bravo Territory, like Bigfoot and Cardinals Territory, when it should be Class and Independent Movies, that keeps Cable and Telecom Companies Books Straight. But, I think 2023 Related Overuse would dull what Advantage Existed.

9. Who and What Recourse Does Disney have around the WWE?

I feel this would be a WWE needs the Money Issue more than Disney being Comfortable taking in more Mirimaxes at a Worse and Lower Rate. No way are you going to Replace Big Monday or Super Tuesday, and less way are you going to do that with Luring Raw is War Back on TV AND

10. Raw is Dark makes Netflix Darker!

I do not think Raw being Dark helps WWE or Netflix. Instead, it encourages and legalizes the Underground Behavior better.

Sheffield Wednesday is Emblematic of Soccer's Problems

 Sheffield Wednesday is Emblematic of Soccer's Problems and it would be 13 Years Almost after Sir Alex and the Cultural Problems are Only Getting Worse. I would feel a Large Portion of their Money is tied up in Contracts, which is A Huge Problem.

And, to make matters worse, for as Much Money has been pumped into England and making some of these Places Tourist Traps, there are Places that are Actual Traps. And Hillsborough would strike Fear into Older Sports Fans, for good reason.

I don't think there is a Line for Sheffield Wednesday and the Tax Liens and the Other Things would take away from them actually having Players. A lot of the Money that would transpire into English Soccer would be ours, and that causes problems Worldwide.

If you ask someone to Crowdfund their Cause, people would go through enough and the Instant between 12 and 13 would equal your responsible and an Adult more So than 18. And, most Kids don't seem to grasp that Bastion of Situational Awareness.

I don't know if we'd do Enough Hard Copy Sports at Home, but, the Tabloid Fire has started in the UK and devolved Sports Coverage Worldwide.

What I'm Not Cool With Drake Relaying Toronto Out of Big Bucks!

 I would feel Drake is the Chief Co-Conspirator of why Toronto is being Relayed Out of Big Bucks! Justin Bieber is too, but, everyone in the GTA is Nervous about Him in Society. I would feel less cool with a Real Life "Alright, Alright, Alright!" (Matthew McConaughey Voice) and more intrusive version of his Famous Character.

What I'd get mad as a Consumer is Drake even trying. Even Jay-Z Changed and he'd be the Horse compared to Dame Dash. Dame only wanted the Sports Car. Drake is the Motorcycle.

And, problem is Motorcycles don't change for Better or for Worse. Alimony and Palimony tend to get Very Expensive and they do not lead to Good Futures.

I'd still be Mad about "Not Like Us" not being on No Wax, but that is a Separate Issue.

Missouri, Kansas and Iowa State are the Only Big 8 Teams without an Ensuing Postseason. And Kansas and Texas Tech are the Only 1996 Big XII Members Without a Conference Championship Game Appearance.

4 Kennesaw State 8-29 @ Wake Forest IDLE

I would feel that the Ponies are Due for A National Championship, Heisman Trophy and a Takeover of Valley Ranch.

6 Hawaii 8-12 Mt. Union (OH)

Hawaii would be the 1st Slate of the Season and I'd start with a Defending Champion or an Honorable Team at Hawaii.
