No, I didn't see anything that good this weekend...Not even close...Instead I saw the nightmare of old people...Like 75 years old and up...We were visiting my in-laws, and while walking the dog, I went past a first floor window of the assisted living place they're at...Window open, blinds up...Old Man River was going down on Old Mother Hubbard...
Hey, God love them...I'm glad they're still getting it on...But as much as I love my wife, I'm not sure I'd be heading down south on that thing in another 30-40 years...I did come to find out that the Old Man River is actually blind...Extra props for him! Even if he doesn't know he was dealing with a slump-buster!
I'm not sure if there is any good way to segue out of that incident and into something else...Probably not since I was heading in the direction of Patrick Kane...
-Thursday I WROTE about the ongoing investigation involving Blackhawks star winger, Patrick Kane, and an alleged Sexual Assault/Rape...Reports are now coming out that the accuser has bite marks on her shoulders and a scratch on one thigh...She said they met at bar...Kane invited her and her friend back to his lakefront home...At some point she went into a different room...Kane followed her, overpowered her and raped her...Afterwards the two ladies left...The alleged victim called a relative, and then went to the hospital and was examined...
No charges have been filed yet...Police say "the investigation is ongoing"...
Saturday Kane was scheduled/expected to make public appearances in the Buffalo area, as part of his day with The Stanley Cup...Instead Kane spent the day privately with his family....So far, everything that has come out, doesn't sound good for Kane...More to come I'm sure...
-In the NFL, talk of getting a team in Los Angeles has been hot and heavy...And it's picking up even more, as Tuesday there is a special owners meeting setup in Chicago to discuss it more...San Diego, Oakland, and St. Louis are looking to move because they are unhappy with their present stadium deals, and/or stadiums...The NFL has said it will only support one new stadium in Los Angeles, capable of housing two relocated teams...
It's looking like the Chargers will most likely apply for relocation...The feeling is they have run out of time to get a stadium deal done in San Diego...To be able to get it on the January ballot, they have to have the deal figured out by early September...
If the Chargers apply to relocate, the Raiders will most likely follow, since the two franchises are partnered in a new stadium plan for the Los Angeles suburb of Carson...
Rams owner Stan Kroenke is working on a deal for his own stadium in Inglewood, California...Missouri politicians have a stadium plan in St. Louis that is a $998 million project to be supported by public funds....
Always the public funds...People like me couldn't have been happy when last week, a judge ruled city taxpayer funds could be used for this project without requiring a public vote...Again and again, the taxpayers get held hostage by a franchise...The politicians always cave and give the owners a state-of-the-art facility, totally funded by the taxpayers...The owners get the gate, the concessions, the merch, the parking, they get money for the naming of the stadium...The Browns stadium, the owner sold the naming rights for each entrance, besides selling the stadium naming rights...
Sports franchises, and their stadium deals are one of this country's biggest scams...Right up there with fucking insurance!
A number of NFL owners have predicted one or two teams will move to LA for the 2016 season...The fact that this meeting is going down Tuesday, makes me feel more confident that they are pushing this hard...
-Late Friday night I POSTED about dolts in the media going after Matt Williams...I closed by saying, "Don't count out Matt Williams and the Nationals yet." Well, a couple days later, I'm totally standing by that...I expect the Mets to stumble somewhere down the stretch here...Oh, and Stephen Strasburg came off the DL Saturday night and struckout 12 Rockies hitters, and only gave up one run, over 7 innings...They're getting healthy...They're gonna be solid...
-College and High School Football season is right around the corner...With those comes marching bands, and great drum-lines...I came across this video and had to share it...Some bad-ass drummer girls...
Have a week!
