Please Kill the Pro Bowl

Memo to the NFL:
Kill the Pro Bowl

This afternoon my wife was watching television and was scanning stations for something to watch. Unfortunately, she stopped on the Pro Bowl. She asked me who was playing. I explained the concept of the Pro Bowl. I called it a "beauty contest". I was overestimating the level of play.

To be kind, this game is a joke! At the first hint of contact on a running play, the whistle sounds. I have seen harder hitting at Wal-Mart on Black Friday. At A.P. Leto High School in 1970, we had a Powder Puff game in the fall. The girls were hitting harder than the pros were hitting today. In Phys Ed, we hit harder in flag football than they did today. Just a reminder, football is normally a physical contest.

The old "Dance Fever" show had harder hitting and better moves than this game did. Why even play it?? I heard one announcer say that these were the best players in the league. This might be quite a surprise to those who will be playing in the Super Bowl next Sunday.

You have changed the location, you have changed the week the game is played. Just forget it, drop the game. Kill the Pro Bowl!! No on will notice. Do you ever hear anyone say, "Wow!! I can't wait to see the Pro Bowl?" The best thing that happened to me was when my wife switched the television back to the "Swamp People" marathon

Give it up!! Kill it now!!!

Freaky Friday 2

Nancy Pelosi claimed in an interview that the Constitution says that she and the President are considered equals. Obviously, this ends all debate over whether she has actually read the Constitution. She hasn't.

The City of Winston-Salem has ordered a Confederate statue removed from downtown because it has been vandalized twice in the last month. So if someone sprays paint on signs for MLK Street, are they going to be removed? Water towers are routinely spray painted  by vandals, will they be declared a public nuisance?

Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer. What else can I say??

Tribes in Afghanistan have been killing each other for years. There is not a thing in Afghanistan worth a single American's life. It's time to bring them those soldiers and airmen  home.

American arrested in Moscow for spying the other day. The government of course, claims that he is not a spy. If we don't have spies, where's all of that money in the "black budget" going?

While on that whole "black budget" idea, I will vote for anyone willing to end that practice. If the government won't tell us how they are spending our money, they shouldn't spend it.

Sunday brings the Golden Globes or some such crap. This is when the mental cases in Hollywood gather to give themselves awards for pretending to be someone else. Can't believe that that Obama never won a Golden Globe for pretending to be an American??

You are safer in Syria than in Chicago. Is this why Democrats don't want Trump to bring troops home from Syria??

I bought some old Life magazines last week. One issue had pictures of German spies being executed after the Battle of the Bulge. Today, they wouldn't have the courage to publish those photos. They might offend some group.

After a year to relocate, Tex & Shirley's re-opened in Greensboro last Wednesday. Maybe now, people will stop asking me when they will re-open??  The downside to that is that a couple stopped me in a store  the other night to tell me about their miserable experience there on Thursday.

A couple of months ago the News & Record increased their daily paper price to $2.00. It's too small to line the dog kennel and too coarse to use to wipe your butt. What can you do with it??
