Tom Brady and Gronk to the Raiders?

Looks like there was a deal in place to send Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to the Raiders but Jon Gruden put the kibosh on it.

Think the deal worked out best for all involved - except Jon Gruden because the one franchise that may have had his back in his lawsuit against the NFL now may be thinking, "That SOB cost us Tom Brady!" Gronk in Vegas would have been, to quote Dicky V, "Awesome baby!"

Kudos to Dana White for being able to keep a secret.

NFL Chickens Coming Home to Roost

Have long said that the NFL's "handling" of the Jon Gruden's emails was going to come back to bite them in the ass. Between sending the clear message to the Raiders that the league won't tolerate racist coaches and the NFL's sham racial fairness process of hiring those same coaches we're going to have the NFL front office under Roger Goodell exposed as hypocrites for all to see.  

Why the need for the two orders Colonel Commissioner?

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

After World War I - France banned the word "Verdun" from many new history textbooks. Today the MSM seem to be doing the same with the words "Hunter Biden's laptop"... Clark County takes $11.6 million from reserves to meet Raiders Stadium payments. You will see many more articles like this as municipalities and States need to deplete reserves, raise taxes or cancel projects because of the severe tax shortfalls related to Covid-19 lockdowns... In 1953 the US Army had just 20 divisions while the Soviet Union had more than 200. Because the US didn't have to match the manpower of the USSR those men were able to become the backbone of a boom economy for the US. One of the side benefits of our nuclear bomber program... Thinking of adding "Former International Male Model" to somewhere on my resume. If anyone asks about it I'll just shrug and say, "It was more of a paid gigolo job than anything," and then look off in wistful silence... OK I'll say it! This country has gone to hell since the passing of Adam West. We need you Batman!...
