Always fun to start the season with high expectations.

Any of those committees are a complete waste of time and taxpayer money.  The politicians like to hear themselves talk, pat each other on the back and what will happen?  Well - at the end of the day those that did that on January 6th will still be charged and have to face the music for decisions they made.  Remember all of the Russian Collusion hearings - nothing happened but wasting money.

They can want to hire a million, but sad fact is the majority of agencies are having trouble finding qualified applicants.  The amount being hired is struggling to keep up with the amount retiring.

I understand that many of you look at this from the money perspective, and then the football perspective and it is exciting.  I could care less about UT or OU and those angles do not interest me.  However when you look at the baseball POV - man I get excited.  There will be some top-notch baseball being played in the SEC.  Could we possibly see an all-SEC CWS one day soon?

Baseball is steeped in tradition.  The appeal of baseball is that it is unchanged and a constant throughout generations.  It is great memories of our dads teaching us to play and throwing in the backyard.  The Cleveland Indians are a historic organization and this just stinks.  In 53 years I have never once thought about the name being offensive.  I think of Major League, Jim Thome and the playoff series where the bugs swarmed the field, and lots of good memories.  Keep on driving the divisive wedge and maybe next we can go after:

1) Mariners (they kill poor defensive sea creatures),

2) Brewers (drunk driving kills),

3) A’s (Being athletic is exclusionary),

4) Padres (Separation of church and MLB),

5) Rangers (They killed Indians),

6) Yankees (Some northern owned slaves)

and on and on and on and on……if you want to be offended nowadays jump on a platform.  Ridiculous!!!!!!!

Can we just take a second and put ourselves in the place of these legislators who have fled to avoid doing their jobs?  Whatever your occupation, what would happen if you left your workplace when things got difficult?

Dispatch: “911 what is your emergency?”

Caller: “Please send help we have a (fire)(heart attack victim)(active physical disturbance).

Dispatch: “Unit 12 be en route”

Fire/EMS/LEO: “Negative, I will be leaving my jurisdiction - that sounds dangerous.”

Plant operator, Teacher, Bank employee, and on and on we would be fired immediately.

What’s the other one, “The rules apply for thee, but NOT for me!”?

Do as I say, not as I do.

From the article:

The NFL allowed social justice phrases like "End Racism" to be painted in the back of teams’ end zones, and players were able to honor victims of systemic racism and police violence last year. 
 

How is that reporting?  That is not a factual and proven statement.  That is subjective at best, and is simply not true.  If you question my thoughts on this subject please refer to the thread regarding “Systemic racism” that I started.

Door to door vaccine push - “hey and while we are here, do you have any guns?”

He may be a great guy, but he’ll have to prove he is a better option than Abbott.  Besides the C-19 debacle I think he (Abbott) has done a fantastic overall job.

Is he from Texas?

May America humble itself, pray for His mercy, turn from our wickedness and thank the Lord we live in a free society.  God bless America!

Hmmm, so she can have her anti-white, anti-Hispanic, and anti-Chinese views - AND protest the flag but don’t dare talk bad about the poor lil’ misunderstood oppressed young lady.  

The ‘ship goes to Starkville!!!!  Man, I have enjoyed watching this game.

If you have never been, you must go.  It’s amazing.

I tried getting our select team to go when I was coaching but the parents always wanted to go to Gulf Shores.  My brother had a son late in life and we are already planning our trip when he is about 5.  Try to hook him like both of us are on the love of baseball.

I know everyone has their favorite sporting event and claims it to be the best - but the CWS in Omaha takes the cake.  The atmosphere, the announcers and the all-out effort and passions these boys give just makes this my favorite sporting event every year.  I didn’t watch every inning, but I watched as many as I could.  Man I love baseball!!!!

After 5 complete Mississippi State up 5-0.  I gotta say I am pulling for them to win the school’s first national Championship in school history.  After what the NCAA did to NC state, the Bulldogs have taken over Omaha.

After 3, State up 5-1.

That State pitcher’s pre-pitch gyrations are something else.

After 2 complete, all tied at 1.

Miss St up 1-0 after 1 complete.

Don’t put those masks away just yet (rolls eyes)….

I could care less about this female and had never heard of her before her little stunt.  Kaepernick was a QB who had some success until he wanted to right his perceived wrongs.  I could care less about him.  If you do not like your lot in life work your butt off to change it.  No one (unless you are rich or win the lottery) is going to hand you or give you anything.  It is a privilege to live here in this country.  

Geeeeesh, it’s like we keep going down the same roads over and over.  Insanity - doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
