ALL SORTS OF SPORTS

WHERE TO START?  so many choices. Let's start with the end of the game first.

Kneel down? Run a play? my nephew MARK says run but i didn't have a problem with the kneel down.  answer this question:  do you trust MITCH TRIBISKY to run a legit play when the game is on the line?  remember, this is the same guy who fumbled on a NON-CONTACT play earlier in the game and then missed a WIDE OPEN TAYLOR GABRIEL who would have scored a touchdown.  and then you get the smarmy post game quotes from MITCH THE MUTT: "I could have played better. There were a lot of plays where i could have helped my team. But next time."

NEXT TIME???????????This isn't freaking high school! step up to the podium and tell it like it is..."I fucked up under pressure all day long and cost my team the game....again.  I made a few good plays but I also turned the ball over twice which changed the flow of the game and if the coach wants to make a change for next week, i would certainly understand it." But that would require a true professional...........
*************************************
BOTTOM LINE FOR EDDIE PINIERO: MAKE THE KICK. you're a professional and get paid a lot of money to do just that....... 41 yards is an average kick in today's NFL.
*************************************
BUT COACH MATT NAGY is out of his league trying to run the entire show and is being swallowed up by the pressures of the job. if he wants to stay in Chicago, he needs to hire an OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR and let him do his job while nagy can look ahead during the game and not have to worry about the very next play, similar to a bench coach in baseball. You plan the game earlier in the week with everyone's input and then let the OC and DC do their jobs on Sunday afternoon.

To make my point:
Running three plays from the 4 yard line was followed by three more plays from the one after a pass interference call and the bears couldn't find the promised land. as a coach, nagy sold out his offensive line on those six plays. DAVID MONTGOMERY should have been given the rock at least 4 times in that sequence (remember david? the guy who ran for 145 yards in the game?) But nagy sent a clear message to his offensive line that they couldn't get the job done. Now watch closely for some finger pointing soon.
************************************
FINALLY, you control the ball for 38 minutes and can't score more than 16 points with just one touchdown? terrible. the play calling was mind boggling, especially in the red zone.
the bears need to post a 'HELP WANTED' sign soon................maybe for a number of positions.
***********************************
MY BUDDY JIMMY who sits right next to me every game, thinks the bears can only win one more game this year, against the giants the sunday before thanksgiving which means they end up at 4-12, which is a far cry from our conversations in august when we argued over the amount of victories. Jimmy thought 12 was a good number and i took 10 and we only disagreed on the two packer games. We laughed when SPORTS ILLUSTRATED predicted 7-9 for the bears. My, how times have changed.
*********************************
later dude, and have a great week!

SINKING SHIP

The S.S.Trump is starting to take direct hits from the united states destroyer named the S.S. IMPEACHMENT and is starting to flounder under the pressure. EVERY POLL, and i mean EVERY poll, (even the ones that normally show republicans on the same level as the LORD JESUS himself) has 55-60% of all citizens asking for trump to be impeached. and rightfully so.

Even his own party is jumping back from his recent decision to abandon the KURDS and withdraw our military. perennial trump defender MITCH MCCONNELL has stated that the withdrawal is a tragic mistake and to date, the turkish army has made quick inroads against the kurds and the slaughter has begun.

and now 11,000 ISIS prisoners may be released because of a lack of manpower at the prison. and remember the ISIS credo: "kill all Americans." nice, huh?



I am so sick of this buffoon occupying the white house and he's in a position to literally issue death mandates when he withdraws support troops from allies like the kurdish army and he needs to be held accountable.

You combine this with the UKRAINE fiasco and the broken promises like mexico paying for the wall (NOT A FREAKING PESO HAS CROSSED THE BORDER) and it is time for him to be gone. people are leaving his employ every day because HE IS A MADMAN who can't be trusted. he's crass and uneducated (i don't care where daddy bought his diploma) and needs to be dragged out kicking and screaming. HE IS A DISGRACE TO THE UNITED STATES.

The impeachment should happen soon and then we have to pray for 20 republican senators to grow a pair and support the bill. now that probably won't happen but it will effectively end his presidency and his chance at re-election.

Be assured that the good old boy network will still carry most of the states south of the MASON-DIXON LINE and the neo-nazi states in the northwest but this time around he gets freaking crushed when he loses florida, wisconsin & michigan and that, my friends, will be game, set and match for the orange man.

good riddance to bad rubbish.




















































 

THE BIG SHOWDOWN STARTS TOMORROW. 

YANKEES vs ASTROS!!!! 

YOWSA!!!! 

now that the dodgers have been eliminated, the overwhelming favorite will come out of the AMERICAN LEAGUE. whoyagot?
*********************************
i stilled so pissed off at the bears that i can't see straight but some thoughts on the monsters.

When i was a kid, the CHICAGO BEARS had great defensive teams and absolutely sucked on offense. the specific reason? quarterback.  Luminaries at the position included BILL WADE, RUDY BUKICH, JACK CONCANNON, the immortal BOBBY DOUGLAS & VIRGIL CARTER. these five started at various times for twelve freaking years. do any of those names scare you on defense? do you even remember them? 

Which brings us to right now. mitch tribisky.The bears are doomed with this mutt at quarterback. his accuracy is that of a blind pirate and he's already getting the reputation as being fragile due to being hurt in consecutive years on non-contact plays.

So what does tribisky do well?  HE RUNS. take a guess how long a fragile running quarterback lasts in the NFL? the bears need to realize their mistake and move on.  their defense is too good to get a high draft choice so get ready to make a trade. and next time, don't pass on DESEAN WATSON and PATRICK MAHOMES in the draft to draft a dog who had only played 13 college games.

  RYAN PACE, start packing your bags.
**********************************
So the cubbies are scrambling for a manager and anyone in their right mind would sign JOE GIRARDI but it appears that tv broadcaster DAVID ROSS has the inside track.  nice guy but no managerial experience.  careful, careful.
********************************
the cubs have a lot of spots to fill with the sooon to be departures of COLE HAMELS, BEN ZOBRIST, NICK CASTELLANOS (he ranf the cash register every day for two months and i don't think the cubs will pay up) PEDRO STROP, BRANDON KINTZLER AND BRIAN DUENSING. Then add in the horrible contracts for CRAIG KIMBRELL @ 16 million , YU DARVISH @ 22, JASON HEYWARD @ 23 !! a fading over the hill JOHN LESTER @20 per year. that's 81 million in dead money next year which brings me to the final point.

JAVY BAEZ or KRIS BRYANT??? you can't afford both of them when they become free agents after next year SO YOU HAVE TO TRADE one of them during this off season or run the risk of having them walk away as free agents.  my guess is kris bryant will be wearing a different uniform next year.
****************************
and congrats to the washington mystics of the WNBA!!! just kidding, no one cares.

adios. have a good weekend.

Here's a very scary fact entered into the record yesterday by REPUBLICAN SENATOR MITCH McCONNELL, the senate majority leader. read closely: "Any attempt to remove donald trump from office thru impeachment will be firewalled by the republican held senate."

Does that sound strange to you? NO MATTER WHAT THE FACTS ARE, mcconnell will instruct the republican senators to not move forward with impeachment. read below on possibilities:

1) house impeaches trump.

2a) mitch mcconnell stymies the articles with legal         manuvering and they don't come to a vote.

2b) mcconnell releases the articles and instructs senate to
        vote 'no' without discussion

2c) mcconnell ducks out of the way and releases the articles with no instructions to anyone other than to discuss and vote.  this bails old mitch out and he can say he did his job....and he would be correct.
**************************************
EVERY POLL in America, no matter who conducts it (including fox news) is in favor of impeachment. the president's recent tweets have done harm to him but he's too crazy to realize it.
***********************************
Books released on RICHARD NIXON showed him becoming more and more unstable to the point where he was talking to the pictures of former presidents hanging on the wall. in a pre-tweet world, nixon hated the press and as the pressure mounted, he just simply stopped talking to them, which made him look even guiltier.

trump, on the other hand, chooses to do open battle with the press on a daily basis and looks more childish & incompetent after every exchange.

did you see the battle trump had with a reporter the other day? the reporter was doing his job and asked trump a follow-up question regarding what trump requested from a foreign leader. trump just looked around for a few seconds and then snapped, "are you talking to me?"  the reporter answered yes and trump pointed to a visiting foreign leader and said "ask him a question."   this went back and forth 4 times before trump just pointed to another reporter for a different question. .
******************************
his recent tirades about his impeachment have included: "a coup" "witch hunt" "the stock market will crash" "taking away the people's vote"   "treason" "will not cooperate" and my favorite "look for a civil war if i'm impeached"
********************************
the man has jumped the rails. his presidency is over. it's just a matter of when he walks out the door.

THE SPORTS WORLD!!!

What was the NFL thinking when they scheduled the BEARS/RAIDERS game in london? a year ago, superstar KHALIL MACK was involved in some hard line ACRIMONIOUS negotiations on his contract and was eventually shipped to the BEARS with hard feelings on both sides. obviously, the league schedulers knew the story but still sent the game overseas rather than let both teams duke it out in oakland with mack having revenge on his mind.
DUMB.
************************************
If you like playoff baseball and didn't watch the nationals/brewers game tuesday night, you missed a classic that kept your attention from the first inning on, which is very unusual for baseball. 

MAX SCHERZER didn't have his best stuff and gave up three runs in the first and with the score 3-1 in the fifth, scherzer faced a situation which would put the game away for the brewers. two on and one out............mighty max throws smoke and got two consecutive strikeouts to end the inning and give the nats a chance.

But no problem for the brew crew who still led 3-1 in the bottom of the eighth when JOSH HADER,  the world's best closer implodes and walks one batter, hits another and gives up a broken bat single to load them up with TWO OUTS and bring a 20 year old to the plate. BAM!!! first pitch line drive base hit to right, misplayed by TRENT GRISHAM, who was filling in for MVP CHRISTIAN YELLICH and the bases are cleared. game, set and match and vacation time for the brewers.

In contrast, the next night was a snooze fest with TAMPA BAY handling OAKLAND 6-1 out in california. now we get to see 10,000 fans at every home game at tropicana field where the capacity is 26.000.
**************************************
Mystery of the week: ROQUAN SMITH of the chicago bears doesn't play for "personal" reasons last sunday and 'NOBODY KNOWS NUTTIN' in the coaches room.  let's dissect: if it was a DUI or domestic abuse which would require police involvement, it would have made the media. My guess is a) depression with a suicide scare and the bears got a call. in this case, they could get him to a private counselor for therapy and nothing gets released due to patient confidentiality or 2) a substance problem was discovered on bears property and they handled it in-house, again with private therapy. just hope he's ok because he's got a heck of a future in the NFL.
**********************************
I don't know about you but i was very comfortable with CHASE DANIELS at quarterback on sunday. it's becoming  VERY apparent that MITCH TRIBISKY has brittle bones and that's twice in consecutive years that he's been hurt on a non-contact play. NO BUENO.  and to think the bears passed on DESEAN WATSON and PATRICK MAHOMES and gave up draft choices to get this mutt.
***********************************
Before you cub fans get all ga-ga over JOE GIRARDI, remember that he had great teams during his 10 years with the yankees and won...................ONE world series.
*******************************
BULLS announcer NEIL FUNK will retire after this season after doing chicago broadcasts for 28 years and calling the NBA for 43 total years. great to listen too and a great human being. give 'em hell your last year, FUNKSTER.

whew! i'm tired.  later.
