Football and nothing but football:

 

This is the week that NFL fans have been waiting for. This is the week when frustration ends. When gamblers bet, when families gather, when fans feel their stomachs roiling as their heroes run back onto the field after way too long a wait. I’m feeling it, I’m ready. It begins on Thursday night with SB Champs Kansas City facing the Houston Texans.  The new gunslinger on the block Patrick Mahomed against the very exciting QB Magician Deshaun Watson. And then My beloveds on Sunday, The Pats, the New Pats for the next age, with the toughest schedule in the NFL. Will they surprise or will they find that Bradyless is more than column in a newspaper?

 

The market is doing in September what it often does after an exuberant run-up in the summer.

 

I’m not surprised that Nancy and her cohorts aren’t interested in a new Stimulus package, even as they proclaim, they are the party who is there here for the people hurt most by Covid. Nancy knows that a new package is a plus for Trump. So, don’t expect anything form the Dems. The Dem Governors and Mayors want continued chaos and the congress want nothing that is perceived as good for Trump. Once again, the US people get screwed by selfish politics.

 

An invisible man married an invisible woman. Their kids were nothing to look at.

A crazed woman says to her husband, “There are moose falling from the sky. He looks at her and says, “No, it’s reindeer.”

 

The Tids could be late today. It seems I have a lot going on this first day after the last weekend of summer. Sorry, everybody.

 

The Tids NFL Pickers are in the basement working out getting ready for the big Thursday. Polishing the crystal ball and oiling up the Ouija board. get ready. some tough one’s looming, especial when Covid sucked a lot of the potential for data out of the formula.

 

I always confuse super exciting QB’s Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson. Ravens or Texans, Texans or Ravens? But, they are both very good. Or is it Deshaun Jackson and Lamar Watson?

 

I didn’t think the chiropractor could improve my posture, but I stand corrected.

 

I’d have more faith on the visibility of BLM if they sent their protest times on the street of the inner city helping all those who are crying out for help.

 

 

Well, the kids are back in school or at least in some communities. Wouldn’t it be nose if we found that nothing had happened to them or to teachers.

 

These Governors should be working most on keeping their state’s businesses alive, because if they wait too long thee won’t be many businesses to revive when Covid dissipates. if It does.

 

There is a lot of stuff in this world that people just don’t want to know about, even if it is entirely honest.

 

The Answer:

Did you notice the word “Republic”? That’s what we are, you know. Of course, you know, you’re Tids readers. What percentage of Americans know that we are a Republic? What percentage of Americans actually know what it means? Republic: A government in which supreme power resides in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officials and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law.”

 

Blurring the lines is the latest new American pastime. And it is not good for the continuation of a Republic.

 

That news came out of the green, said the color-blind journalist!

 

I have to find better endings.
