In this era of big-time money in college athletics, there are several new millionaires populating the rosters, and not just the players.
Coaches.
Big Money.
Kirby Smart at Georgia.
Lane Kiffin at LSU.
Lincoln Riley at USC.
These are some of the biggest names in the profession and when successful, they generate hundreds of millions for their respective institutions, making their multi-million dollar contracts looked like simply “salary expense.”
But say, you are not a big-time coach at a big-time school?
Say you aren’t even the head coach, but a lower-paid assistant at a small California public university?
No shame in taking a side hustle to supplement your meager compensation, right?
Hold my beer…
Kevin Mays, assistant basketball coach at CMagical State Bakersfield, now sits in jail, denied bail and arrested for a growing list of crimes including pimping, gun possession, child pornography, and drug dealing.
Even an old buzzard like me can see that his future employment applications and resumes will be affected by all this.
In entertainment news, teen babe Brittney Spears from back in the day, looks more and more like the puppet from the movie Magic starring Sir Anthony Hopkins and the late great Burgess Meredith.
Scary.
Just another thing Brittney and I have in common…
We’ve both been arrested in Santa Barbara for DUI.
Don’t drink and drive.
It is totally unnecessary in this day and age.
Just like it was in my day and age.
Not my proudest moment and I’m sure she feels the same.
In the least surprising news I heard, ICE hag Kristi Noem, the beleaguered Secretary of Homeland Security (smirk), has been let go. I think the official wording on the exit interview was something about “being a total fuckup and whoring around with the help.”
OK, maybe not those exact words…
Maxine Waters has spent 35 years in Congress, and she has filed to run for another term as a Democrat Representative from California (of COURSE it’s California!).
She’s 87.
Alright, you old bat.
Move on.
Let a fresher, younger mind with new ideas and a new way of solving problems and addressing issues take over.
Thank you very kindly of your many years of loyal service.
Now get the fuck out…
Two words for you.
Term limits.
Something’s gotta be in the water besides microplastics.
All over the planet laws protecting animals from being experimented on, hunted, killed, or eaten are being passed.
Don’t get me wrong, I love it; certainly not complaining.
Don’t look now, but civilization is finally growing up.
It is amazing that it took thousands of years to understand that animals have souls.
Just like we do.
I wonder if there might eventually be an exodus away from all animal proteins?
There I go getting carried away again.
Amidst all the ill will and downright horseshit that the president has stirred up, we just tested a “Doomsday” nuclear ballistic missile capable of carrying warheads that are twenty times more powerful than the bomb we dropped on Hiroshima.
I feel safer already…
Don’t you?
Stay well.
