**NFL KNEELING**
Here's the latest news on the NFL Kneeling thing...
The NFL has reserved the right to fine any team who's players don't kneel during the pregame ceremony, however, to cover their ass from infringing on the 1st Amendment rights of the players, they will not penalize a team if it's players remain in the locker room during the ceremony.
The United States Government pays the NFL to hold these ceremonies before the games so the league had to do something.
Well, that's one way to please the fans that didn't get their way last few seasons.
Amazing isn't it?
The same people that complained about people protesting are the same people that protested the protesting and will probably still complain about it because the league isn't forcing all the players to stand during the ceremony.
On the positive side, at least the league came to a 'neutral' decision on the "issue", somewhat anyways.
Now, if the league can just get the players, and some owners, to stop using drugs, dealing drugs, committing assault, rape, and murder, as well as soliciting prostitutes, and a variety of other ILLEGAL acts...
Thanks For Reading.

"MARCH MADNESS WAS FULL OF MADNESS!"
Another NCAA basketball season is in the books, and it was quite a ride as it usually is.
Congratulations to Villanova men's squad and to Notre Dame's women's squad on winning the National Championship in what was a thrill ride of a tournament season!
The women's tournament is not usually as intense as the men's because the top seeded teams are usually in the mix at the end every year, and this season was no different with the four #1 seeds making it to the Final Four, but the games were really exciting and fun to watch.
Notre Dame's ladies pulled off back-to-back buzzer beater victories in the Final Four against UConn and the finals against South Carolina on their way to the title with the same player making the winning shot in both games.
As a fan of Notre Dame it was glorious!
The men's tournament had a lot of upsets, including the first time a #16 seed defeated a #1 seed with UMBC spanking, literally, the top seeded UVA team that was a favorite all season long. I was shocked at the result of that game.
There were many upsets, some which were upsets as far as seeding is concerned, but teams like Texas A&M, West Virginia, and Florida State that were ranked in the Top 10 early to mid-season were geared to make runs respectively, and did make it deep into the field.
Both tournaments were fun to watch and did not at all disappoint.
Villanova dominated every game they played in the tourney, and they were a clear cut champion when it was all said and done.
Congrats again to the teams that made it to the Big Dance(s), then the Sweet 16, then the Elite 8, then the Final Four, then the finals, then to the title. None of those accomplishments are an easy feat.
I look forward to next season and what type of craziness will transpire!

"Super Bowl 52"
First of all, allow me to congratulate the Philadelphia Eagles for their win against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl... It was an exciting game to watch from start to finish!
The Eagles certainly earned every bit of the win.
Everybody knows that if you're gonna beat a team like the Patriots you gotta outscore them, and the Eagles put up 41 points which will win any football game in the NFL 99% of the time. From start to finish the Eagles pulled out all the stops and kept the pedal-to-the-metal.
Personally, I was not at all surprised about the outcome of the game, the score was higher than I thought it would be, but the Eagles winning wasn't shocking on any level. They were the best team in the league all season starting out 1-1 and finishing 14-2 which is very impressive.
Late in the season the start QB and MVP candidate for the Eagles, Carson Wentz, went out for the remainder of the season with an injury and for a brief moment hope faded, for a moment.
They had a backup, who is not really a backup, stepping into the role in the form of Nick Foles. Foles has bounced around the league a little, but he has either started or competed for the starting role for every team he has played on, and he did not disappoint.
Foles played a hell-of-a-game and was named Super Bowl MVP.
Though the Patriots made it interesting coming back from a double-digit deficit at halftime to take a 1-point lead late, the Eagles stayed on the throttle and pushed it back to a 5-point lead.
The Patriots had a chance with just over 2 minutes to play and possession of the ball, but a late turnover in the form of a Tom Brady fumble recovered by the Eagles allowed them to make it a 8-point lead with about 1 minute left.
The Patriots got close enough to try a Hail Mary, but like the 3 Super Bowl losses in the Brady-Belichick era, they came up short.
So the two teams that were considered the best in their conference all season long got there, and the best team won.
Tom Brady will be back for the Patriots, as well as Bill Belichick, so we know they'll be in contention again.
The Eagles will be very tough to beat in the next few seasons, with Carson Wentz returning as well as many others like Alshon Jefferey and many defensive players, and I look forward to seeing them play.
Congratulations again to the team and the fans of the Super Bowl 52 Champions, the Philadelphia Eagles.
