Let The Games Begin

To tell you the truth I don’t know as much about the who and the who in the NCAA tournament this year.  I spent so much time officiating basketball the last few months that I’ve hardly had time to get much more than highlights.  I hear Kansas is really good.  And you can’t watch any college basketball highlights without seeing and hearing a lot of John Wall. 

Historically though and year after year the teams just keep getting better.  Most of the so called lower seed teams have more quality players than ever.  One can look at a cat like Stephen Curry who is one of the top NBA rookies and think of all the coverage Davidson got over the last couple years. 

I look foward to seeing how this year’s tournament turns out.

Black People – GET OUT!

I read this story and thought to myself if I heard this on the PA system I probably would have started laughing.

I mean, of all the racial issues we have in this country and there are many, no way I would have taken this seriously. 

I’m not saying I’m right.  Just saying when I read this my first thought was that this was an ignorant customer using the PA system or one dumb employee.  Either way, no reason to sound the alarms.  We got bigger fish to fry!
