I'm not even sure they "have" opinions like we do. They probably give it very little thought and just go about how believing how they were raised but it's very surface level. Especially those in team sports where they play a lot of games. They're not thinking about this stuff. Unless one of the team USA players comes out explicitly in support of the president and the policies I'm going to assume they are just along for the ride of enjoying olympic gold until they have to go back to their teams this week.

Anybody who's looked after elderly, like those over 85 can attest to similar things, even though that's not what happened here I assume. Phone call at 2:30 pm. "Hey, I need to go to the ER" "What's wrong uncle?" "I got a headache and am light headed. Kind of dizzy" "What have you eaten today?" "I had coffee this morning" "Did you drink any water" "No" My wife says one of the symptoms of getting older is you lose hunger pains. So they forget to eat or don't feel like eating because they feel fine - until they don't. THen they assume it's something else.

Awful Announcing is reporting that NBC will hire Benetti for Sunday Night Baseball and use a local announcer as analyst. The post is 14 hours old though and I didn’t see anything else so I am not convinced it’s accurate.

My wife got to meet him at an expo for a race in Fort Worth.

It’s the “Christian” thing to do to mock and dehumanize them. The can wear their crosses and praise Jesus after winning a sporting event and pretend all is good and that makes them morally superior. It doesn’t. It’s hypocritical bull**** . All while “Bench pressing” 315 pounds allegedly. Trump supporters today are pathetic excuses for human beings. Phony Christians.

and Nazis put us on the moon... or at least boosted us up in that direction. "Von Braun says he aims for the stars... but sometimes he hits London"

Conservatives today think adult means 14. At least sexually.

Along the same lines... movie stars and musicians. Maybe not so much movie stars because we don't "see" them and their work is not really them, it's part of an ensemble of art others created. But if you find yourself jamming to a song from the 50's until maybe 10 years ago when we got smarter about this.. you might not be happy to know what they've done. Unless someone explicitly does a certain thing I'm not getting wrapped up in it. I will cheer for Larkin like I've always done.

I'll take a wine mom over a Nazi any day There's a reason grindr's servers overload every time the GOP men get together.

We started our first watch a while back and are making our way thru. I can see why it's so popular. I feel good after every episode. After Robert Duvall died I'm watching Lonesome Dove again. Watched it at the time when it aired and remember it being so good. And it is. What a stacked cast too. Plus Diane Lane in her early 20's isn't a bad thing.

One of those is tasked with finding missing federal money. The other one isn't.

All I remember about Kwame in 2002 is he was down in the stands near the Cup when they brought it out. And then at the rally in Hart Plaza. And is the complaint about Whitmer that she's in Italy? Not sure this is breaking news but governors very often travel overseas on behalf of their state. It didn't start with Gretch. Maybe we need Charlie LeDuff to do an investigation again... rope in Benson too somehow because Lord knows we can't have these gals out there doing stuff like this. I mean after all, we know if they fart good ole Charlie's on it with a column.

I saw him with Sparky at Chili's around that time. This was in February, must have been right before spring training. It was just the two of them. I was wearing an Oakland A's hat. Sparky kept looking at it. Maybe having flashbacks to the '72 World Series.

and nobody really "celebrated" Kwame at the time for being there. In fact i recall people making fun of him for suddenly showing up. I mean... the 2002 SC was won in the city of Detroit. THe parade was in the city of Detroit. Kwame was the mayor of the city of Detroit. The City of Detroit is not in Italy. I didn't see Gretchan Whitmer with either of the hockey teams but somehow she's being indirectly compared to Patel? Why bring her up?

That's something lost on the old timers who complain about "today's soft pitchers who can only go 100 pitches" and then they bring up one guy who pitched a lot and ignore the others who blew out their arms. It's not about ability or durability. It's a conscious decision to pitch this way. Same way with strikeouts and hitters.

We should have a Jerry Walker/Joe Klein debate.

Larry David needs to do an emergency episode of Curb involving the Cheryl character.... something like what was done to Susan on Seinfeld.

I saw a video of him doing KB swings and he was very limp wristed and looked like he never picked one up in his life. It was pathetic. “Our side”. You ain’t **** bro. Don’t claim credit. Yes I am talking to you.

Miggy's in camp.

At Tiger games during the week I will get a $5 can of high life. Those are considered "deals" at Comerica Park. It satisfies my craving. Blue was my beer all through young adulthood until the craft stuff took off in the early 2010s.

Corona? Yuck. That's a one and done beer when on the beach or in sunshine. Any more than that and I'm burping that **** up all day. I guess Blue Lights or Molson were out of the question given the circumstances. I'm back to filling my garage fridge with Blue and Blue Lights. I still have craft beer and go to breweries but for every day at home at night... it's the Blues. I treat the craft stuff as a treat.

I'm probably a Harris slappy too. I didn't hate Avila but I think that kind of job passed him by. No shame in that. He had a great career in the business and did some good things for this org. Nothing wrong with saying we need someone else to take over.

Alan Shepard had that. It's why he was grounded before his first scheduled Gemini flight. He found a doctor to do what was then experimental surgery where they inserted a tube do drain fluid. He got back on flight status and commanded Apollo 14 and golfed on the moon. Prior to that he flew 15 minutes in space. The movie Apollo 13 didn't represent it very well. He was cleared to fly and was to be given Apollo 13 but management stepped in and said he wasn't ready yet so he swapped missions with Jim Lovell. In hte movie Hanks says "Al Shepards ear infection flared up". Not true. It was merely about training. Good luck. If it is Meniere's it might be an easier resolution.
