GOP Nightmare
Travis Kelce, vaccine advocate. Taylor Swift, musical superstar influencer and Biden supporter. Kansas City Chiefs, Super Bowl champions. Republican nightmare and the conspiracy theorists freak out. That’s my chirp for today.

Don’t Cry For Me
Just like that, the season is over. But what a wonderful ride. Back in 2021, the Lions were in shambles. Patricia and Quinn had tried their Patriot way and destroyed the team in doing so. The Lions brought in Holmes and “bite your kneecaps” Campbell. Campbell reflected the City of Detroit, with his style. Holmes…

All Good
A happy Monday morning. Detroit Lions will now be playing for the NFC championship next Sunday. This is their first NFC championship game in 32 years. The Lions have won two playoff games in a year for the first time since I was three years old. Don’t remember much from then. The scary part is…

32 Years
Back to the sleaze of politics, tomorrow. The last time the Detroit Lions won a playoff was 32 years ago. They beat Dallas badly that day. It seems appropriate that Dallas lost badly again yesterday, this time to Green Bay. The guy above, Aiden Hutchinson, was years away from being born. Bill Clinton was President.…

Meanwhile the Honolulu blue Detroit Lions will be going for their first playoff win since 1991. I was born and raised and…

Are You Kidding NFL?
This is Brad Allen. He if the blown 2 point conversion call in the Lions/Cowboys game. His officiating crew has been involved in a controversial calls this year including a late game missed pass interference call in the Chiefs/Packers earlier in the season. His crew has been downgraded for the playoffs. They probably won’t see…

NCAA Mess
If not for the two point conversion fiasco, the big story, over the weekend, would have been the Georgia/Florida State fiasco. Let me backtrack a bit. When I was a kid, before cable tv, there were only about ten or eleven bowl games. The cream of the crop played in these games. They meant something.…
