Total vindication for the last 3-4 years of Calipari Basketball. This Kentucky squad just closed out Duke and did it with a total team effort, hustle, and experience. Thank God we have the “other” Pope! Going to be ups and downs, but that was incredible.
@DoerflerJared@coynewriter@GolfersJournal Jared - you have great newsletter I look forward to reading each week. Keep crushing it. TGJ member for about two years, it’s a work of art quarterly.
Since the media refuses to report on it, let me share what happens at a typical Trump speech:
1. He comes out to the playing of the “January 6 Anthem” song which he recorded with some of the most dangerous J6 rioters in jail.
2. He brags how his song with the J6 rioters gets more downloads than Taylor Swift (it does not)
3. He spends a few minutes talking about passing cognitive exams, and how the audience would not pass the exam, but because he is really smart (he is not) he is able to ace the exam.
4. He praises Viktor Orban, the leader of Hungary, who Trump says is the most respected leader in Europe (he is not).
5. He praises President Xi and says he is very strong and rules over 1 billion people with an iron fist and Hollywood couldn’t find an actor as tough as President Xi.
6. He praises Putin and says people say it’s a bad thing he gets along with Putin but he thinks it’s a good thing.
7. He makes weird noises reenacting lifting weights with a trans woman and he says “mommy I can’t do it. Mommy. Ughhh, uhh, mommy help me.”
8. He says he doesn’t like seeing President Biden at the beach and says he has a better body than Biden (he does not)
9. He talks about his hatred of windmills and his hatred of electric cars. He says he would rather be electrocuted than eaten by sharks however.
10. He praises the J6 insurrectionists and calls them hostages.
11. He whines about his court cases, attacks prosecutors, judges, and witnesses, and then praises “the great Alphonse Capone” and brags he was indicted more than Capone.
12. He quotes Hitler and says immigrants are poisoning the blood of our country.
13. He says he wants to be a dictator on day 1.
14. He plays QAnon music, audience members often make QAnon sign with their hands, and he talks about how America is a failing nation.
15. He does a weird dance and leaves.
I get it, Pete Carroll was an all time great. But fellow Hawks fans - let’s stay out of his coaching tree…a la Dan Quinn. Give me Vrabel. Pete’s defenses and Quinn’s last cowboy game didn’t inspire confidence on any level.
Huskies team character, coaching staff, and players are still world class. It wasn’t a good night. But they had a great season and the you can feel the special bond they have.
