Wondering about...

Schloss-Blog is wondering about a few things.

Like, how come Donald Trump continues to lie about the Ukraine thing and call for investigations of everybody but his own administration?

Like, are the Giants being brought back to Earth this week by Minnesota or are they for real? Not. Patriots next week. Better win today, Giants. I'll take the Giants with the points though (getting 5-and-a-half).

Anyone get up early and watch the Bears in London? No, wait, you didn't have to. The NFL is making it a night game in London so that it's a regularly slotted early game in the United States. When you're good, it matters as to what time you get to play.

It's a difficult time though to watch sports on TV, there's so much inventory. October is the only month all four major sports are in action. How much you wanna' bet though that regular-season NFL games draw as many if not more viewers as MLB playoff games?

Baseball is boring. Takes too long. Can order and consume a pizza between pitches. Baseball does nothing to address it except talk about it. Never enacted the late Steve Palermo's recommendations. Largely just gave them lip service. Pity.

Meanwhile, back in Washington, Trump wants to investigate and convict everyone who doesn't like him. Unfortunately, that's everyone.

Anyone watching the Sunday news talk shows this morning? If you saw a Republican, please leave a post on or DM me on Facebook or Twitter (@hschlossberg). It was hard to find a Republican who would step up and defend Trump's conversation with the president of Ukraine or the release of text messages with his Ukraine entourage, which greatly incriminate him. Unless you watch Fox News, and even there it was difficult.

And if the economy is so good, unemployment so good, wages so good, stock market so good, why are most Americans living paycheck to paycheck, living without sufficient funds for emergencies, with little to no savings for retirement and wondering if they'll get laid off tomorrow?

Why is every quarterback who plays for and has played for the University of Washington named "Jake?"

Why are any PAC-12 football teams ranked nationally? They all suck.

Why does Rutgers have a football team?

Why is Nebraska overrated? The football team too. Ever drive through there, all the way to Colorado? Try it.

Trump is discovering that even his fellow Republicans think he's a pig.

Sad note: frat brother and friend Mike Lyons passed away this week. R.I.P., Mike. R.I.P. Will pay tribute to him on my radiofreephoenix.com rock show tonight.

Good night Mrs. Calabash. Thank goodness I found a Nathan's hot dog stand at the game I covered Friday night in Peoria, Arizona. Long live Nathan's. I love Brooklyn!
