For half a decade or more we have heard that Tom Brady’s wife wanted him to retire so as not to get himself hurt, that there was nothing left to prove, that he should be home with the family and the kids.
Amazing how one’s attitude changes after two months of the husband at home every day in the house that you ran:
These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it’s not now. I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it all possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa. Unfinished business LFG pic.twitter.com/U0yhRKVKVm
Pol after pols predicts disaster for the Democrats, particularly among minorities, Inflation is skyrocketing along with oil prices and we have the potential for World War 3, cripes even Trevor Noah is saying this wouldn’t happen under Trump
This bodes well for the GOP in November and may even bode well for 2024 but the Biden Administration has one thing to console them.
Now matter how much gas, and food, and heating prices go up, no matter how far the dow drops, no matter how close World War 3 or an Iranian Nuke comes to reality on their watch all of these things are not a problem to the most important voting block to secure an election…
…ballots filled out at 1 am by democrat operatives.
Among that key voting block Biden is just as popular as he ever was.
There are consequences to stealing an election or letting an election be stolen and America is going to have to live with them for a very long time.

There has been a lot of talk on sports radio about the huge contract that the Green Bay Packers gave Aaron Rogers. A little bit has been insane sour grapes from the Kapernick crowd but the most common gripe I’ve heard has been that Aaron Rogers has won only one Superbowl and thus the price paid for him is completely insane and unreasonable.
So to those people who go on about his playoff failures I ask this question:
Can you name all the Active NFL Quarterbacks who have won more Superbowls as a starter than Aaron Rogers?
Answer: THERE AREN”T ANY.
No active QB in the NFL has won more than one Superbowl as a starter so going after the Green Bay Packers for signing the man who was MVP for the last two years because he’s only won one superbowl is insane.
Rogers is the best QB out there available and if Green Bay has the other tools in place he’s still their best chance to get another title, period.
Incidentally that stat proves just how much Tom Brady has skewed how things are looked at. Brady’s choke hold on titles has set such a standard that a single title is now considered inadequate
The All time great league was won by the 1985 Cardinals who after staring the season slow roared into first and after beating the 1975 Reds in seven Swept the 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks for the NL Pennant and the 2010 Rangers who beat the 61 Yankees in Seven for the AL Pennant
Josh Hamilton of the Rangers led all the majors with a .365 Avg while Willie McGee of StL led the senior circuit at .361 while also leading the majors with 238 hits. Derick Jeter of the 2009 Yanks led the AL with .232
Roger Maris hit 54 HR five more than Mickey Mantle to lead the AL, Hank Aaron’s 46 HR led the NL. Johnny Blanchard of the 61 yanks also had 46 HR and led the majors with 153 RBI’s while George Foster of the 75 Reds 140 RBI led the NL
On the mound John Tudor led the majors with a 1.83 ERA on his way to the NL Cy Young and while the 1999 Boston Red Sox finished last in the east at 71-91 Pedro Martinez won the AL Cy Young still lead the league in ERA 2.04 Wins (23 tied with Mike Cuellar of Balt, Greg Maddux led the majors with 24) strikeouts with 428 (Randy Johnson had 396 for Arizona to lead the NL) avg against .198 (Tudor led the majors at .195) and WHIP 0.90 with Tudor leading all with 0.88
Mantle took the AL MVP while McGee won NL honors.
the 1969 Continual Draft league is in its 1st season. We are playing 126 and things are pretty much settled in the NL but the AL things may be coming down to the wife here are the standings:
The season will be finishing in 4 weeks and we are accepting expansion teams for next season if anyone is interested.

Five teams make the playoffs, the two division winners and three wild card teams
The worst division winner faces the first wild card team with home field advantage
The best division winner faces the winner of a wild card playing game with the 2nd wild card team hosting the 3rd.
The Mets have clinched the Best Division winners spot and will host the winner of the wild card game
The Cardinals have clinched the 1st Wild card team and will face the winner of the Dan Division.
The Yankees and the Mariners have clinched at least a change to play in a wild card A-B-C round
There are three games left with the Nationals facing the Rockies tonight
IF Either Washington or Colorado sweep the other THEN
the Winner wins the Dan division and hosts St Louis in round one of the playoffs
The Yankees Host Seattle in the wild card game holding the tie breaker (2-1 regular season adv) with the winner facing the Mets in Round one.
If there is no Sweep THEN
The winner wins the Dan Division and hosts St. Louis in round one of the playoffs
The Loser is in a 3 way tie for the two wild card spots and an A-B-C system is used to determine who goes to the wild card game
the ABC system works like this
Team A hosts Team B The winner advances to the wild card game as the home team
Team C hosts the Lose The winner is the away team in the wild card game and the loser doesn’t make the playoffs
If Washington wins the series Colorado is Team C in the ABC game Team A is Seattle (5-3 vs others) team B is NYY (3-3) Col (4-5)
If Colorado wins the series Washington is team B in the ABC game Team A is NYY (4-2) Team C is Seattle (2-7) Washington (6-3) is tied with NYY but becomes team C because NYY won the season series 2-1.
It’s going to be a really exciting finish. I’m Washington Wish me luck.
