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!
