RIP nfl

I am with you 100%. None of them will ever get another dollar out of my wallet or a minute of airtime on my television.

I wish that everyone would stop going to watch the NFL games and the NBA games. They all remind me of the Romans and the Gladiators fighting for the crowds approval. One is a majority of black players and the other was a bunch of slaves. In both cases they were playing for the crowds and the elites in society.

I'm watching the NHL playoffs right now and it's weird to see them playing in an empty Ice Hockey Stadium with no crowds cheering them on. I miss hearing the organ playing and the crowds yelling and chanting for their teams. I miss seeing the crowds yelling at the refs. It's just not the same as it was in the past. But it beats watching a NBA team full of 98% black players playing basketball. It's time to raise the goal up another 2 ft so they can't dunk the ball so easily. Make them shoot the ball. Make them stop carrying the ball by putting their hands under the ball and or holding onto the ball with their hands. Make them take only 1.5 steps or else call traveling on them. Make them stop fouling so much. Stop the moving picks. Make them shoot the ball and stop the double dribbling. IE make them play the game by the rules. The NBA reminds of of the Black Entertainment Channel or the Channel on WOW Cable that only speaks Spanish. That is one channel I can't watch as I can't understand a word the say. Even the commercials are in Spanish. This is the USA and we speak English here. We fought a war against Mexico (Spanish Speaking Country) and won. So we should not have to press 1 to hear the phone in English. That should be automatic here in the USA. When I call my Lindy Company to report my mom's INR readings to them I have to press 1 to hear the phone prompts in English and that makes me madder than heck. This is America and if I get a phone call from someone with a foreign accent I automatically hang up on them as I know it's a spammer from some other country trying to sell me something I don't want or need or they are trying to hack information from me. I have had cancer in the past and took Zantac. So when I saw an add on TV about a law suit against the maker of this product I called the 800 number and signed up. When the law firms representative called me he had a Spanish Accent and I could not really understand him. He was a fast talker and I gave him some initial information about my cancer diagnosis and told him that I was prescribed Ranitidine based products for acid reflux disease. They ended up calling me again and I told them that I didn't like talking to someone who does not speak English as their first Language. I developed a dislike for people that don't speak English as their first Language after calling Microsoft for tech support and getting people from South America that can't speak English clearly without a stupid Spanish accent. And when I wanted or needed tech support I needed a person that could speak plane understandable English. I would all Microsoft and wait 30 minutes while listening to elevator music before I got to speak to a person and then I would get some guy that can't speak plain English and I would just really get madder and madder. Many times I would tell them to give me a person that can speak English. Often their supervisors would speak better English. Microsoft like most other companies like my WOW cable company stopped putting their tech support here in the USA and instead moved them to foreign companies like the one in South American and sometimes in the Philippines. I hated that they did that. It's hard enough talking to people about Microsoft Software Products like their email or Windows Products. Then you add a language barrier into the equation it just adds more frustration to the process. I'm a white Archie Bunker I guess. LOL. I have no patience for incompetence even when I'm the one who's incompetent at times.

No interest in pro sports this year.

Golf still seems okay.  In fact last month they interview Pro Golfer Jim Herman that won and he is good friends with President Trump. His golf partner for 20 plus years.  Jim is a local westside Cincinnati guy and his Uncle is my brothers best friend and my friend. Bob Herman and my brother bought 185 acres a long time ago. My brother then sold out and bought the 101 acres just mile away. That's one of the other farms I hunt sometimes. Was #1 until my brother bought his piece. I've met Jim Herman and had a beers with him.Good guy and stops by some years in your hunting group. It all depends on his golf schedule.  After the tournament win Jim praised President Trump and helped with his golf struggles to be a pro winner.  All caught on TV. Jim has won 3 tournaments.   Talked about President Trump encouragement to keep practicing and improving.  Jim is now 42 and getting near his career end.

Thanks, didn't know that. If they do I will use that type of expanding foam. I need to check my can.

Did not watch, will not watch

I never did like Pro Football or Basketball because I don't trust people that play for money instead of fun.  When you play for money you can easily take more money to throw a game for the bookies.  I prefer to watch College Football where they don't take a knee during our Star Spangled Banner National Anthem.  If you don't like that then tough.  


Because they tend to protest way too much.  That is why the fans are booing them.  We have one Anthem for the USA and if they don't like it they can move back where they came from.  

Where they came from? Where is that exactly?

We have some Chicken Hawks that take care of our rats and mice.  And I like using the Glue traps to capture mice.  Many years ago we put rat poison in the unattached garage to kill the mice and rats that got into the garage.  Well one of our next door neighbor kids had a bad habit of breaking into other people's garages and chicken houses and stealing things.  That boy is dead now as he drowned in the Ohio River. He turned into a drug abuser.  He was the 3rd of 4 boys. The oldest two were ok guys. One even went to college and got a degree in Geology and was a coworker with me and another of my friends. And he and I use to waterfowl hunt together.  But the third youngers was a bad kid.  He tried to stab me one time with a broken knife blade. I caught him cutting my mom's flowers in our front yard by  the light pole.  I chased him out of our yard and had him pinned down on the ground when he pulled the knife on me and tried to stab me with it.  His dad came out and separated us. The problem with him is that he father let him get by with stealing stuff. If I came came home with stolen stuff my dad would have gotten all over me and made me take it back and apologies. Heck he might have turned me into the police if I did something like that. But our next door neighbor was not of that caliber.  And his younger brother brazenly walked though my yard one day while I was out side working in my boat. I put the life jackets up on the bass seats and let them dry out in the sun that day. He was eyeballing my boat and walked through my yard into the other house on the other side of our property. I was too busy with my new boat to worry about him.  I didn't realize that he was casing my boat. I thought he was going over to talk with the two boys that lived on the other side of our house. The next day I woke up and went out to the boat and found that my favorite camo life jacket was gone. Years later I went to the 2nd oldest boys house and saw my stolen Sterns life jacket in his boat sitting in his garage.  We had left work to go play golf one day so as to get some new clients for our company.  I then realized where my life jacket went. It was $50 brand new back in 1978.  But by 1990 it was too small for me then so I never said anything to the guy I worked with (Geologist)  But I never forget that the 4th kid stole it from my boat right out in my front side yard.   So back to the 3rd kid. He was in our garage when I caught him there. He had rat poison all over the outside of his mouth. He had found the rat poison in the garage and was eating it.  I called him mom and they rushed him to the hospital and pumped his stomach out to save his life. Like I said he had a few screws missing and was a big time thief.  The people that lived on the other side of them had a big concrete block chicken house that was turned into a ware house. The owner sold Snap Lock tools and stored tools in his chicken house. The 3rd kid broke into the chicken house and stole tools. The owner of the snap on tools called the sheriff and they investigated and finally arrested the 3rd oldest kid.  I was in college back then and heard the story about this from my parents.  I read in the paper when he died and drowned in the Ohio River.  I figured that some of his druggie friends threw him in an drowned him. He worked at a boat dock on the River.  They never said what really happened other than he died from drowning IIRC.  The rat poison didn't get him but the River did.  He was so much younger than all the other boys in the neighborhood so I never really interacted with him that much.
