My Convoluted Mind:
serious, trivial, comical, sarcastic … and in no order whatsoever!
*President Biden can shrug off kids being slaughtered, saying “I can’t do anything about it.” Meantime he is attempting to cancel student debt by using his executive authority.
*Is it fair that snow should be white, completely absent of diversity?
*Will the United States Constitution be declared null and void, given the profiles of its writers?
*Why should a King beat a Queen in cards?
*No replays of controversial decisions in any sport should last more than two minutes. If no change is agreed upon within 120-seconds, the original decision stands.
*If Trump goes to jail for paying a porn star, will Hunter Biden be his roommate for his legal infractions.
*NILs bring honesty to the corrupt business of college athletics.
*Baseball rule changes have made it almost impossible to read a novel between pitches.
*Advertising is now sometimes seen between foul shots in basketball, serves in tennis, and VAR decisions in futbol … and everywhere else.
*Gambling is omnipresent; what are the odds that I will finish this bit of inspiration and post it.
*Ya gotta love it. The “New York Times Sunday Magazine” brings tears to your eyes with its article on yet another social ill, with the extended essay interrupted by ads for multimillion dollar condos.
*Why is an athlete incurring a debilitating injury treated as a hero while a company employing hundreds of people is frequently regarded as an exploiter of people and the environment … and a tax cheat.
*If referring to a person with excess poundage as being f… is no longer permissible, can we mention rates of diabetes or heart disease.
*Many years back, I proposed a series of rules for soccer in order to increase its appeal to points happy, immediate gratification Americans. Suffice it to say, nothing happened. And yet the American soccer league, MLS, has grown in popularity, not because of open immigration but because millennials have adopted it as a nice social experience, more wine than beer in nature. Fearing that this current love affair may not age well, I hereby propose changes exclusively geared to points. (Please don’t throw things – even Pique wants some alterations in his lifelong sport.)
Run-of-play goals: 2 points; 3 points if the shot is taken from beyond the 18-yard box. Like the NBA. Penalty kicks: 1 point. More than half the time, penalties do not reflect clear-cut referee/VAR decisions.
*The Premier League, among others, has a system called “Relegation.” It basically says to a bunch of poor teams, get away from us, become better, and maybe you will have a chance next year to play at our level. Typically, the managers, aka coaches, are fired. Wouldn’t this be a good system for all major sports, both the relegation and the automatic firing. Think of the reduction in sports talk radio nonsense as the talking heads no longer would need to speculate about both the team and the manager.
*How does it happen: Democrats, supposedly home to all minorities, continue to receive large funding from teachers unions which act against the educational interests of minority children.
*Is hypocrisy better than no values at all!
*I forget, what is the latest scientific finding – is coffee now okay and wine not, are both okay if accompanied by incredibly dark chocolate?
