I wonder….is Roger Goodell biting his nails in advance of the NFL Season Opener tomorrow night? Because in a recent interview, he was already making excuses as to why the ratings this season might be poor. And, surprisingly, he never mentioned how his allowing the league to become more politicized might be a factor.
And now they want Krapperdick in the Hall of Fame. If they do, I can see a lot of current inductees resigning, since it no longer carries any honor or distinction to be part of it.

@ RIX:
Of course, it’s the NETWORKS that will be taking a hit. DirecTV is probably going to lose big on the Sunday Ticket franchise because not only are the home subscribers not renewing (like mine) but the big money comes from bars and restaurants that offer it to their customers and who pay a much higher premium for the service. Bars are not open. Restaurants are not open. And even if they were, the capacity restrictions are going to be such that the establishments will not see a profit; so I imagine they are canceling as well and will order it again if and when it will be beneficial to them.
The networks have a different problem. They sell ads at prices based on ratings. If the ratings don’t materialize, the networks are then forced to go back and give those advertisers either reduced or even FREE ads at the latter part of the season.
What I’d love to see is the contracts between DirecTV and the Networks for rights to carry. Because I really think the case can be made by each of these entities that the severe decline in ratings (which I think there will be) is due to the NFL’s own policies and behavior. And if that’s the case, there may be grounds for breach and opportunity to renegotiate. And that’s going to hit them in the pocketbook.
Well, it’s improving here somewhat.

Make racial equity part of the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve Racial and Economic Equity Act will require the Federal Reserve System (Fed) to use its existing authorities to address the ongoing crisis of racial inequality and disparities in economic outcomes. This bill has three primary components:
1. Makes Reducing Inequality Part of the Fed’s Mission: This bill adds a new section to the Federal Reserve Act that would require the Fed to carry out its functions in a way that “minimizes and eliminates racial disparities in employment, wages, wealth, and access to affordable credit.”
2. Ensures that Racial Economic Disparities are Not Ignored: This legislation requires the Federal Reserve Chair to identify in his or her semiannual testimony before Congress:
(1) the existing disparities in employment, income and wealth across racial and ethnic groups and (2) how the Fed is using its authorities to reduce these disparities.
3. Requires Robust Reporting on Disparities in Labor Force Trends: This bill requires the Fed’s Semiannual Monetary Policy Report that the Fed releases in conjunction with the Chair’s testimony to include recent labor force trends with “a comparison among different demographic groups, including race, gender, and educational attainment.”

Question for you CW: As mentioned above, we are visiting the Denver area; Mom & Dad have the local news on a lot. Today’s talking heads giggle bit was about what to do if you are wearing your mask and have to sneeze. According to somebody, you should sneeze in your mask because if you take it off, you defeat the purpose. Then you are to get out a spare mask since you have contaminated the one you are wearing. So, what strikes me: If you sneeze, those little 1/24 the size of the mask fiber viruses are going to be stripped from any droplets and propelled into wherever you are sneezing whereas if you sneeze into your elbow or a kleenex, you are going to capture whatever is expelled. Plus, who just sneezes one time? Am I missing something here?
@ AZfederalist:
sneeze into a mask that you have been wearing? think claymore mine.
mask off, sneeze into your elbow if you are wearing a long sleeve shirt or into a large cloth and then throw it out and wash your hands.
if a surgeon has to sneeze, he turns away from the patient and sneezes into a sterile OR towel, then has to get rid of the mask, re-scrub in, that means new gown and gloves and hat and mask. if have cannot be away form the operation for that long, the mask and gloves and gown have to be taken off in a certain way and chemicals are used to clean up the hands arms and face, then all is put back on.
scrubbing in takes a very long time
wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands, dont touch your face. dont go out if you are sick.
wash your hands
wash your hands
Good God. We’re doomed.

@ Gateway Pundit
This is just great. Apparently Maddog Mattis was contemplating a military coup.
He must have read Seven Days in May and was disappointed with the ending.
I think that Mattis has Napoleonic complex.
@ RIX:
why would you believe anything Woodward has to say? He’s been lying his entire career. That signal Deepthroat and he supposedly used to communicate? When Woodward wanted a meeting, he’d move a flowerpot on his balcony that could be seen from a parking garage next door? Yeah, no. Somebody walked thru all of Woodward’s stuff – that balcony is not visible from the garage. Remember when Woodward said he sneaked into the hospital to interview Bob Casey, Dir CIA, when he was dying from a brain tumor? Hugh Hewitt interviewed Casey’s doctor who blew it out of the water. Casey’s room was guarded, no one got in or out and Casey was not able to communicate. And I’m sorry, but whatever else Mattis is, stupid isn’t on the list. Treason via military coup is not something he’s going to discuss with a civilian.
Did anyone ask Dan Coates to confirm? Yeah, I’ll wait.
The first domino to fall was Woodward’s contention that Deep Throat was Felt and Felt only, and not a composite character based on numerous sources. The journalist Ed Gray demolished this myth when he completed In Nixon’s Web (2008), the posthumous memoir of his father, L. Patrick Gray III, the acting FBI director during Watergate. In this the Grays benefited from access not only to Woodward’s notes and papers at the University of Texas but also from Pat Gray’s own FBI archive (45 boxes’ worth). In Nixon’s Web exposed how Woodward’s reporting attributed information to Deep Throat that Mark Felt simply could not have known in November 1973, at the time of their last (alleged) meeting in a garage in Rosslyn, Virginia. The book also showed that Woodward’s Deep Throat file included notes from an interview he had conducted not with Mark Felt but with another source at the time, whom the Grays confirmed to be Justice Department official Don Santarelli. Pressed on such matters, Woodward dismissed them as “technical, wiring-diagram issues.”
More recently, we have learned that among those harboring deep skepticism about Woodward’s account of Deep Throat—so critical to the Washington Post’s coverage of Watergate, and to the Woodward legacy—was the man to whose memory The Last of the President’s Men is dedicated: Ben Bradlee, the executive editor who oversaw that coverage.
Rummaging through Bradlee’s papers for an authorized biography, Jeff Himmelman—himself a trusted former researcher to Woodward—came across an unpublished 1990 interview in which Bradlee had confided his misgivings about Woodward’s reliability. “Did that potted [plant] incident ever happen?” Bradlee mused about the notion that Woodward moved a flowerpot on his balcony to signal for meetings with Deep Throat. Likewise, about the purported rendezvous in the garage, Bradlee wondered: “One meeting in the garage? Fifty meetings in the garage? I don’t know how many meetings [there were] in the garage.” He added: “There’s a residual fear in my soul that that isn’t quite straight.”
Geoff Shepard laid bare the contortions that were required for Sirica to overlook Woodward and Bernstein’s brazen interference with the grand-jury process.
Nor did Himmelman’s archival discoveries stop there. He also found contemporaneous notes showing that contrary to four decades of flat denials on the point by Woodward and Bernstein, the latter had indeed approached and interviewed a Watergate grand juror—a violation of law—and had deliberately misled the readers of All the President’s Men to portray the grand juror as an employee of the Nixon reelection campaign. Indeed, Himmelman exposed half a dozen lies, evasions, deceptions, misrepresentations, and other journalistic sleights of hand on a single page of All of the President’s Men.
The final product was Yours in Truth: A Personal Portrait of Ben Bradlee (2012). Were it up to Woodward, the book’s explosive contents would have been suppressed. Writing in New York magazine, Himmelman recorded how Woodward sought to intimidate his former protégé:
https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/james-rosen/bob-woodwards-sins-omission/
In 1988, he published “Veil: The Secret Wars of the C.I.A., 1981-1987,” which contained his famous account of a deathbed conversation with William Casey, the former C.I.A. director. Casey, according to Woodward’s telling, admitted that he knew about the illegal diversion of monies from Iranian arms sales to the Nicaraguan Contras. “His head jerked up hard,” Woodward wrote. “He stared, and finally nodded yes.” “Why?” Woodward asked. Casey whispered, “I believed.” Did it happen like that? Even today, it’s a matter of dispute. In 2010, a former C.I.A. employee, who was part of Casey’s security detail, claimed Woodward “fabricated” the story after being turned away from Casey’s room at Georgetown University Hospital. Woodward dismissed the agent’s statement, saying agency guards were not present around the clock.

What may prove interesting in this whole phone “swiping” affair is that hopefully they’ll call in one of those jerks and begin threatening him/her with prosecution and a grand jury and that they’ll completely fold, and give the details of how this happened.
Putting on my tin-foil hat, I’m thinking when Weissman saw that subpoena he knew his goose was cooked and he immediately gave instructions to the others to intentionally destroy the evidence.
By the way, I do not need my password to turn my phone on and off “airplane” mode. I only have to do that if the phone goes into sleep mode. At that time I either have to use facial recognition or enter the passcode, which is true for ANY phone secured by a passcode.
There was no WAY these clowns didn’t know their passcodes – they would have had to use them probably three or four times a day.

Irving Kanarek, who served as Charles Manson’s attorney, has died at age 100. Kanerek was famous for filing frivolous motions and objections during direct or cross by the opposing side. In fact, at one point in the Manson trial, Bugliosi was at his wit’s end and said “Your honor, I object to that question as being ridiculous!” and the judge, also exasperated with Kanerek at that point, granted it.
Even given that, Bugliosi grudgingly admitted that Karenek was probably the most effective of all the defense attorneys in that trial.

I don’t know if this is satire, Posobiec doesn’t usually do that, but either way it’s hilarious
BREAKING: The Atlantic has called for the Nobel Peace Prize to be ended

One question I’ve always wanted to ask the mentally deficient Truthers.
Yeah, you think timed explosions brought down the Twin Towers and a Missile crashed into the Pentagon.
So why haven’t you explained Flight 93?
OMG. It’s real.
End the Nobel Peace Prize
The Trump nomination shows that peace had its chance, and blew it.

on the day Bahrain announces normalization w/Israel
I have never seen a man’s enemies self-destruct in such magnificent fashion as Trump’s
@ eaglesoars:
Trump is most excellent at that
The insanity is only beginning. This is just the prelude to the first movement of this opera

Apparently her name is Dannehy and the resignation email she sent to colleagues did not specify a reason, so this “Barr putting pressure…….” is media wishful thinking.
Packing for 9 days on the beach.
We need this.
I stopped watching news completely awhile back. Just podcasts, Audio books, and prime music now.
My taste in podcasts changed a bit. My top five.
The Verdict with Ted Cruz (He just seems super smart and focused on issues)
The Five (Dana Perino has an insiders view of DC)
Jocko Podcast (Military Navy Seal leadership translated into everyday life)
JRE experience with Joe Rogan. (Used to be no 1, but he gets repetitive and drunk casts)
Vast (Sci Fi story) Macker would have liked these.
I liked the Bongino report but he started to get too shrill for me with a lot of ad hominems thrown at people. Same for Levin. I’m never much interested in hearing people insult each other.
@ darkwords:
I’m diggin Cruz on the list for SC.
@ coldwarrior:
Have a great time. As a kid I remember trips to the water as super imaginative and fun. Collected way to many shells and interesting pieces of wood. Fed the birds.
@ darkwords:
There is far less politics on the Joey Ramone punk rock channel on XM than in sports now.
Ironic.
@ coldwarrior:
I think that would be essential. People seem to say he is too political but he probably understand the court better than anyone else in practical way. I can see him there if Trump gets re elected.
@ darkwords:
The kids are cyber for 9 weeks…ok…
Time to get remote and do classes from a deck chair. Yep.
@ darkwords:
I respect his legal mind. I wouldn’t want to hang out with him.
@ coldwarrior:
People are saying politics is essential in sports. To me its just a way to dirty up a game. Its more about athletic performance to me. That performance crosses all the political barriers without the politics. What could be better for the country?
Its the small minds that want to mind their neighbors business that push politics into sports and toilet paper purchases.
@ coldwarrior:
What is a day with Ted Cruz like? Church BBQ, A few hours hunting, A beer post hunt watching the news. I imagine he doesn’t let people get too close to him.
@ darkwords:
Sports is an escape. A frivolity to relax the mind.
@ darkwords:
Shark fishing too. Serious shark fishing.
Big hooks.
@ darkwords:
Commie revolutionaries must destroy all institutions in order to have a true revolution.
Read your Marx and Lenin. Solzhenitsyn, however, has the solution.
@ coldwarrior:
120 lbs test line and wire leaders.
I’ll put up a new thread from the coast tomorrow.
@ coldwarrior:
hope you get sunburn in embarrassing places
And this happened today:
I’m wiped, been up since 2:30 w/Mia and an ear infection.
CW, have a wonderful time. Don’t forget to let the sharks go after you snag them,
nite.
In case anyone’s interested, Samantha Fish will be doing her first live show since march tomorrow evening at 9 eastern/6 pacific time. It’s also going to be the first time in several years that she’s performing with a trio, rather than the 6- or 7-piece band she’s had for the last three albums. Should be interesting.

My go to podcasts used to be CigarDave and Dee Snider’s House of Hair (not exactly a podcast but I could never catch it on radio so I’d catch it on cast).
Trying a couple of new smokes tonight. Going to start out with a Hometown Hater from Lost and Found. Dominincan with a Habano wrapper.
@ coldwarrior:
FWIW, Damone Ramone never got the credit he deserved.
