- IOC disqualifies Ukrainian Olympian. The IOC can ban an entire country but an athlete cannot remember other athletes killed in a war that caused IOC to ban Russia. Bizarre.

- President Trump and Administrator Zeldin deliver single largest deregulatory action in US history.
- Tracking the efforts to shrink the size of the federal government. Think its wise to show this as just an effort to get back to the size of the government during the Clinton Administration.

Starting to think that Donald Trump may more correctly known as the common sense President. Stop sending payment checks to dead people - common sense. Ask big pharma companies to stop charging Americans three time what they charge others - they agree and lower their prices because he did the common sense thing and asked them to. Close the southern border - common sense. So many common sense actions - why weren't they done before? And why do so many hate him for doing these common sense things?

Had a discussion with a friend about who would win a boxing match between Ernest Hemingway and Louis L' Amour. Both writers were known for being able to handle their firsts. That might be a good match but we'll never know the winner.

- Newsweek: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell faces calls to be fired. People calling for Goodell to be fired are painted as fringe but as I've pointed out an empty suit could do a better job with less controversy.

Today has the feeling of the calm before the storm as far as news is concerned. You get used to the feeling like everything is happening all at once. Guess I should enjoy the quiet while it lasts but I can't help but wonder if the US men's and women's Olympic hockey teams ever won gold at the same games? Need to quiet my brain.

Today's offering is mostly about the Super Bowl and where the Patriots may go from here. Didn't mention Seattle even once because I'm so self-absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't even notice that until I was finished. Know I should be more generous in my praise of their well deserved victory but ones thoughts are what they are.

- Are Rome's attractions scarce goods? If people are paying for their time at attractions then they may feel less compelled to pick up after themselves or act with decorum (although good Catholics may feel guilty if they don't).

They say in every life a little rain must fall but last nights Patriots loss to the Seahawks in the Super Bowl was a deluge. Was Drake Maye hurt or just bad? Our offensive line was exposed as being plain bad and those white uniforms - hope we never see those again. Congrats to Seattle - you were clearly the better team.

For the record - for this game I like the Patriots (+4.5 points) teased with the over (39.5 points) to give you New England +10.5 points and an over down to 33.5 points. You could also go with the Pats money line which is basically giving you 2-1 odds.
