Well around the table this morning the first topic to come up with Maty Mauk, Mizzou QB who cannot stay out of trouble. The response at this point locally is pretty much one big, long yawn. Now a video has surfaced showing the guy at a party with some blow. Well, I say the video out of curiosity myself. One thing struck me as real curious, the kid did not even actually hit the line. I guess he might have drawn a couple of minuscule grains up his nose. But really? Plus the thing is supposedly a couple of years old. To me this is a common sense deal. The kid needs new surroundings and a fresh start elsewhere. Things just have not worked out in Columbia. It has been one thing after another. I am all about second chances, but there comes a point where it is just best for all concerned to just go their separate ways. I know some things I cannot, or will not, divulge here but I do feel he needs a new beginning, elsewhere.
Everybody and their brother is grilling me to death about the Super Bowl When you do what I do and reside in a relatively small community it comes with the territory. I have a strong view but am politely telling them to shove off. I share it with my buddies but I don't fly a damn banner over the town. I did find it interesting that Manning was overhead by NFL films stating on the field after the game that this might be his last rodeo. Frankly I am curious how the HGH thing plays out with him. I well recall when Elway was on his last legs and the Broncos were going up against the mighty Packers in the Super Bowl and well, we all saw how that played out.
The whole politics thing reared it's head. The whole Trump and boycotting the debate because of Kelly being a co host. I am kind of at that point in life where nothing much of anything shocks me. I have my opinions which I tend to keep to myself but man oh man. I have never, ever, ever seen so much pure hate between the liberals and conservatives. It has reached all time toxic levels. There are some candidates I respect, wish there were more. Then there are some I look at and I am like, really, I mean really?
Okay, that was about it for today. Going to the doctor at noon to see if I have rebroken my knee cap. Long story short, my mastiff Sam had a ugly altercation with another big dog in my yard and I got caught up trying to keep them from killing one another. End result, Sam still won't take no crap off strays pissing in his yard, and my knee is seriously screwed up. Please keep a good thought. Good luck today guys.
