The Round Up shows us more Tom Brady and former WNBA superstar Brittney Griner news, while G4 is woke no more as it’s been canceled, and how bad are the Lakers? All this and much more!
SPORTS ROUND UP
Russian court rejects Griner appeal of her 9-year sentence – ABC News (go.com)
The Brown Grumbler tells us he saw this a lot in Panama, his country of birth. American arrogance and disrespect for Panamanian laws, i.e., the laws of other countries. He also states that he saw American arrogance in his travels to dozens of countries.
This arrogance usually pertains to the treatment of locals by Americans and disregarding their laws.
Brittney Griner and her agent are lying. Griner’s in jail for knowingly breaking Russian law and bringing drugs illegally into the country.
- She made no mistake because she knew what she was doing.
- Her agent’s wrong because she’s in jail for knowingly breaking the law, not because she’s American.
Being American was a bonus for the Russians, politically speaking. They didn’t go after her because she was American. She’d been playing basketball in Russia for seven seasons. She knows the laws yet still chose to break them and is now playing the victim.
If Byron Leftwich was a player, he would have been benched by now (tampabay.com)😳
Agree or not, this article took courage because leftists who specialize in race hustling will attack the writer – see Jim Trotter or Stephen A. Smith.
One would think it’s too early for this kind of talk, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are supposed to be a Super Bowl-ready team, yet the wheels are falling apart. The writer’s harsh because the team can still turn it around.
This is the type of article one would expect after the halfway point or when two-thirds of the season is done. That usually gives us more data and legitimate claims to opinions on who’s at fault.
2022 NFL Week 7 viewership: primetime struggles across the board (awfulannouncing.com)
The excitement with primetime games isn’t where it was from last year’s matchups. These ratings are likely a direct result of terrible games. Through sheer luck the past two seasons, the NFL had some of the most fun and exciting games since the fragmentation of viewing became an issue.
That fragmentation began with cable television and exponentially with streaming. It was when network television saw ratings drop faster than a mob victim with cement on his feet in the Hudson River.
However, this past season has been one mess after another, especially with Thursday night football. If it keeps up, viewership will continue to dip.
Are the Lakers prioritizing cap space over winning this year? (Yardbarker)
Who knows what the Lakers are thinking this early into the season? It is a long season, and they have a good reason not to react too quickly to the rough start. You have to let new schemes play out and allow players to gel with one another.
Regardless, massive changes will happen if they tank this year, salary cap or not. We all know the salary cap in the NBA is a joke. Regardless of the salary cap, this team’s not looking good on the court.
SPORTS GRUMBLINGS SPOTLIGHT
Fired Up! – Flying Solo, Donald Trump, MSM deception (Ep 08) (sportsgrumblings.com)
William Del Pilar, the conservative Latino, defends and speaks truths on President Donald Trump, MAGA, the mainstream media, dealing with haters, and making a case for American leadership. This is it if you can only listen to one podcast this year!
POLITICS, POP CULTURE, AND ENTERTAINMENT ROUND UP
UN rights body rejects Western bid to debate Xinjiang abuses (AP News)
This is why the UN is a joke. This isn’t about doing right by humanity but playing politics on a world stage. This is the norm, as the United Nations has always been corrupt. Where lesser nation elites come and get rich with our funds.
Don’t forget, we fund this crap! Yet, every president refuses to look at the billions of taxpayer dollars wasted by not helping humanity but enriching elites in corrupt countries and governments. 🤦🏽♂️
This is why our country’s screwed. The “Taco Bell Guy” properly and truthfully calls out the sheep by showing how the costs. He gave them proof, and they still deny it purely for political reasons.
When ideology trumps reality, the old term used in dire times fits, “we’re f***!”
Yaa thinks? 🤦🏽
Despite social media lies, teachers indoctrinating and lying to parents. Kids not realizing the damage done is permanent; this is a battle we can win. The data shows this, but the real issue is parents now understand they are the first and only individuals who can give permission for what schools teach their children.
They now see teachers, teachers’ unions, and Democrats trying to remove them from that role. Parents are retaking their education, but the truth is their laziness allowed this to happen. The data shows that despite horrific test results for years, parents did not step in and demand better education.
G4 Shuts Down Less Than A Year After Re-Launching (GameSpot)
Go Woke, Go Broke isn’t always true. Still, it did create a drainage of viewers when one of the hosts directly attacked its viewers and, even worse, lied about the role G4 played in sexualizing its shows.
Thus, the viewers followed, including the Brown Grumbler, who was following out of nostalgia. He and tens of thousands of others stopped following and watching. This is important because the numbers needed could only come through continual exponential growth and that came to an end after attacking loyal viewers.
This was a shaky venture to start with anyway and one that quickly imploded with vile, woke hosts. You add the pajama boy male hosts, and yes, Comcast doomed this venture before it began.
Kevin Spacey Trial: Anthony Rapp Loses Sexual Battery Lawsuit (Variety)
The honest question is if Anthony Rapp’s memory is hazy, or did he outright lie? Think about it. He wanted $40 million, and with the “me too” mob rule we’ve had over the past six years, Rapp probably thought he had a shot. That’s because the “Me Too” movement became a political movement where an accusation could be seen as fact.
You can decide, but the jury decided Rapp wasn’t believable and likely mistaken or outright lying.
