Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Saw the idea floated of coming out with a $250 bill with President Trump's portrait on it to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday. Not sure if this was floated as a joke or not but the idea is growing on me. Also get rid of the penny at the same time. Why not?

Watched game 5 of the OKC - Spurs series last night and though San Antonio raced to an early lead the Thunder soon took control and easily won. OKC is looking like a tough team to beat in the NBA finals especially if healthy.

The New York Knicks swept the Cleveland Cavaliers last night to make their first NBA Finals since 1999. Despite not being a fan of all things New York - I find myself pulling for these Knicks since they are bound to be underdogs to whatever team comes out of the West.

Surprised that some on the internet haven't tried to make a Meme-orial Day celebration of old memes happen. Guessing they were smart enough to realize how tasteless that would be toward the memory of the fallen that stopped them.

If college football is heading for a divorce and a have super league and have nots - why not divvy it up now? The Power 4 conferences get the 12-team playoffs and no NIL caps and the rest get the CSC, a $20 million athletics budget, and the bowl games? This division actual works if you think about it.
