Fearmongering being spread by many universities suggesting that international students will be banned from entering the US after Jan. 20. Advising them to return "early" for the upcoming semester. This one is laughable for many reasons. First, there is no indication that any such ban will be...

Unfortunately, that does seem like the logical progression of where this is all going. The money drives everything. The non-playoff bowl games are ridiculous with the transfer portal. The universities are now dedicated solely to making money and have given up on education. By the time most...

The media portraying every rain shower or snow as causing "havoc" over the holidays. Does it really cause the airlines havoc when it rains or a dusting of snow falls. It's sickening to read of the crimes committed by those whose sentences were commuted. The crimes included two female bank...

I'm not sure they can even do that. I once asked my son to pick a number between 1 and 10 and without hesitation he said 11. The American education system is a disgrace.

The claim that younger people were discouraged from voting because they have to provide their signature and many can no longer write their names. At first, I thought this was a bogus claim but my own experience with our education system leads me to believe that many young people actually can't...

It sounds like many of the European leaders are in deep political trouble. In part from the disastrous immigration policies. It's in no way racist to have reasonable immigration rules. You don't have to open your borders for anyone who wants to enter. That's why we have countries and...

Maybe it's just the holidays but there have been some particularly horrific stories in the press this week. Some maniac in Germany runs down hundreds of people at a Christmas market including children. A woman was set on fire and burnt to death today on the NYC subway. Some guy decapitated...

Cowboys, Niners, and Cards were all eliminated today. Quite a fall for the Niners. Injuries were a killer. My Rams are surging like a sloth. Ugly win over the Jets but winning ugly is still winning.

I don't blame Texas for a soft draw. That's on the NCAA or whoever put together this system. Certain teams have benefited even more like ASU and Boise St. I would go with the best four teams to get the bye as not all conference champs are the same. Also put more emphasis on strength of...

Every game a blowout. And arguably the two best teams, Oregon and Ohio St. play against each other in the next round. The FCS games were much better. Every team involved seemed to be from North or South Dakota. Sark leads a charmed life so far with Texas. They didn't beat a single top 25...

All the games so far have been pretenders vs contenders. Not much drama. Really highlighting why records are less important than strength of schedule when you have over 100 teams. SMU had no business in the playoff. Indiana would have lost by three TDs to Bama. ASU and Boise St. should not...

All the media and Beltway hype about the government "shutdown" came, as usual, to nothing. More spending adding to the deficit. I did get a laugh that somehow shortening the length of the bill was progress and somehow translated into spending cuts. Many of the few items cut from the bill were...

I wonder how playing the first playoff games on the weekend before Christman impacts the home crowd? Most of the students have finished up for the semester and scattered to the winds. There were still tickets available for the Penn St. game today. Plus it is cold. Can't imagine fighting...

This Smithsonian Magazine headline can't be good: "Squirrels Are Displaying 'Widespread Carnivorous Behavior'"

Media hype over a "government shutdown." The government doesn't really shutdown. Most of it continues to function. Even many of the non-essential agencies have funding to stay open for some period of time after the shutdown begins. It is a big nothing burger to anyone living outside the DC...

I agree that all the home teams will likely roll. SMU might give Penn St a game, but the others should be blowouts. College football can be wildly unpredictable, though. Add in the layoff and transfer portal into the mix and anything is possible. It does give me a laugh that the commentators...

Congress proposing to give themselves a pay raise right after an election that was won in part on cutting back governmental spending. Of course, that is just a grain of sand on the beach in terms of the total spending but the symbolism is profound. It's unreal how out of touch these folks are...

I re-watched "28 Days Later" and "28 Weeks Later" this week. Solid zombie flicks. Those fast zombies are a lot more frightening than the lumbering zombies in TWD where every baby in a stroller could take out a mob of them. The Oppenheimer actor is in 28 Years Later.

Upcoming zombie move "28 Years Later." The trailer is fantastic. Highlights what TWD could have been.

I'm doubling down on Buffalo and Philly for the SB after this last weekend. The Chiefs are looking shaky even while winning. I think their run will end. Josh Allen is on fire. The Eagles running game and defense are perfect for a SB run.
