More REALLY dumb things

So the NY Jets have hired former Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase as THEIR new head coach? True, Todd Bowles was a clueless disaster during his tenure there, but Gase? Isn't he the same clown that presided over the floundering Dolphins the last few years? That's like up-dating your old Yugo with an equally old Ford Pinto. Dumb.

See the talking heads already yapping about who should be the MVP of the NBA this year. Last time I looked, the season was only about half way through. Guys that had a great first half might tank in the second -- and vice versa. Guys can get hurt. Any number of things can happen before the regular season is over. To talk about this nonsense now is, well, dumb.

See the constant rumor that former Detroit Piston Chauncey Billups might be hired somewhere in the NBA as either a head coach, or, OMG, general manager. Hey, this guy can barely speak coherently on the afternoon sports talk shows. And some club is going to pay him countless millions to lead them to the proverbial "promised land"? Good luck with THAT. Dumb.

I LOL every time I hear the chant of "Tiger is back". Back from what? Being a serial wife-cheater? Acting like a royal spoiled brat away from the cameras but a perfect gentleman when he knows they're rolling? Cursing and otherwise behaving like a heathen on the course when things don't go his way? Shamelessly still taking millions of dollars in endorsements when he hasn't been remotely competitive for years? Oh wait, don't tell me. He's found love interest in something that isn't a white, blond girl. You know what's REALLY dumb about all this? The thousands of lemmings that still consider Eldrick Tont their hero. A role model even. What comes after REALLY dumb on the stupid scale?

Here's what I want to know. If the Green Bay Packers are indeed owned by their "fans", then who decides who their President, GM, and other front office personnel will be? As in, has the power to hired and fire coaches. Do they have an annual caucus? Town hall meetings? Or has this always been a farce, a scam played on the gullible fans? After all, apparently they can "buy in" but never "sell". What kind of shyster scheme is this? Would you invest in that? I love the city of Green Bay, but this is dumb, and quite possibly illegal.

But the REALLY dumbest thing of the week?

Yours truly.

I thought Alabama would easily defeat Clemson.

So OK, I'm an idiot.

But it did my heart a lot of good to see Nick "the prick" Saban and his Tide machine get so thoroughly trashed on national TV.

Love ya, Dabo Swinney, and the way you're going about things with such unbridled joy, happiness, and enthusiasm.

Nothing dumb about that at all.

Just old-fashioned good stuff from the heart.

And it's kinda catchy.
