Idle Thoughts

After the USA women's Basketball team clinched the gold at the 2024 Olympics, a lot of Americans were moved by the sight of Brittany Greiner with her hand over her heart and tears running down her cheeks.  Not so long ago, Britany was caught in Russia with a bag full of Pot and they locked her up.  Diplomatic maneuvering got her out of jail and back to the US of A.  Some people think that she was just glad to be an American and finally appreciated this country.  Other people think, the only thing in her mind was...  'In America you can smoke Pot.  All the Pot you want too.'

Which when you stop to think about it, might be the same thing or close to it.

And sticking with sports in a new book, 'Out Of The Darkness, The Mystery Of Aaron Rodgers.  The book explains that in 2014 Rodgers stopped speaking to his parents.  After one of his worst games Rodgers' then girlfriend Olivia Munn called his parents and in a rant told them never to come to one of his games again!  The Parents did not hear from their son Aaron for the next nine years.  But the book goes on to explain that it wasn't Olivia Munn's fault.  That Aaron Rodgers is the kind of guy that if he thinks you crossed him, you are dead to him.  He never speaks to you again.  So it wasn't Olivia Munn's fault.  It's just the way Aaron Rodgers is.  Boy, are we glad, this book, got that out of the way.

Now if Aaron Rodgers can last longer than the three plays of last year and actually play for the New York Jets.  Jets fans everywhere, will rejoice.

Now Alex Murdaugh might get a new trial.  That's the guy who shot and killed his wife and his son.  He was also the big cheese lawyer in Hampton South Carolina, who robbed his clients.  He got so many years in jail for all the fraud he committed, he'd have to live to a hundred and two, just to do the minimum.  So you might ask why try him on the murder charges again?

Well this could be a case of the original murder trial got such high ratings on the T.V. news, all the other news outlets and so much attention on Tik Tok, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, why not have a sequel?  Of course, the bad guy usually doesn't do much better in the sequel.  See The Mummy Returns where the Mummy gets sent back to hell again, girlfriend in tow.  Or the Godfather II, where all the Corleone enemies, get it, again.  Or the Godfather III, where everybody dies.  Maybe Alex Murdaugh should just say thanks but no thanks.

Like we said these are just idle thoughts.  We're just speculating.  We might be wrong on a few things here.
