   It seems like fans of certain teams are quite convinced that the umps and refs favor certain teams, usually the big market ones such as the Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys. Former ref Tim Donaghy has claimed that the fix was in for Game 6 of the NBA Western Conference Finals where the Lakers were allowed to get past Sacramento. Obviously Donaghy has some inside knowledge of the NBA but if the NBA was really fixing games, I suspect Donaghy would have been “silenced” by now for speaking up. Anyhow, Vegas seems to police its lines pretty well and “circles” games where there are large sums of money placed on either side of a wager and they seem okay with reporting to the NFL if players are wagering on their game just like the Lion players who are suspended.

   Of course, could a basketball ref call fouls on on team over another or an NFL ref make some “iffy” holding calls that could affect the momentum of a game? Absolutely but I suspect it is not a league wide conspiracy but could someone like Donaghy shave points and have a third party bet on the game, that is pretty likely as well. Not sure about David Stern rigging the NBA lottery but here are some thoughts on this from SB nation:

   I like the red wine part Robin, but how much aspirin or Aleve will I have to take to overcome the red wine hangover that is bound to come unless one goes ’Hair of The Dog"? I know from experience that certain vineyards have stuff which is wonderful but it comes with a price the morning after amigo!

   I stole this one from Green Acres on MeTV currently:

   Mr Kimball: “Be careful what you say out here Mr Douglas!”

   Oliver Douglas: “Why?”

   Mr Kimball: “Because the corn has ears!”

   I guess Henry does not realize that DeSatan and Musk looked like fools at how their “announcement” went sideways. I think it was poetic justice for the 2 villains!

   I am 100% in agreement with you Will? though Banker Joe really did not have any choice. I am certain that he probably made a lot of concessions which will anger progressives too but the alternative was worse. Anyhow I am sure Banker Joe will announce tomorrow morning that he had a solid victory followed by chheers from the establishment tools who run the DNC and are the core of democratic leadership in the house. Alt right nimrod McCarthy will also claim victory as well. Any way you cut it, I suspect the average citizen probably got boned in the bargain between the centrists and the far right.

   There are only 2 things my cats love more than bacon: the tuna water from a can when my wife or I make tuna melts and of course catnip.

   Bacon is to die for but it is temporarily off the menu with a vegan daughter in the house on summer break from FSU, probably her last summer at home as she graduates next year and then is likely to go to grad school which she has already applied for: FSU, USF (home fave for her parents though I think this is a fall back option for my girl), UGA Athens and USC Columbia, sadly no UA Tuscaloosa… Thus, I am avoiding putting the fatback on the griddle and trying to adapt to a healthier diet as my wife and Amy both think my 140-90 blood pressure needs to come down a tad which means no high fat and high sodium content foods which sadly includes bacon, fried plantains and other salty snacks and so on…..

    Too bad Bezos and a few more of the corporate establishment tools who exploit the working man are not up in orbit with DeSatan and Elon! I suggest the tools take the first journey to Alpha Centauri, maybe they can find out if there is a habitable planet there in about 75000 years or so. Mars is too close!
