The Hardest Position To Play Is The One You're Playing

The Schloss-Blog has a lot of complaints today (shocking, I know, right?). Let's get started.

Three jurors decided that the Parkland shooter should not get the death penalty.

A 15-year-old just shot up North Carolina, killing 5. 

But the Republican candidate for governor in Michigan, Tudor Dixon, says incumbent Gretchen Whitmer, who doesn't want guns allowed on any school grounds, is coming for your guns in that state.

She says having guns at schools is the best way to stop would-be shooters. Someone came for Tudor Dixon's brains a long time ago.

Let's get military-style automated weapons off the streets.

But back to Parkland, wouldn't you like to know who the three jurors are who voted not to give the Parkland shooter the death penalty? Would the Parkland victims' parents harass them the same way Alex Jones' followers harassed the parents of the Sandy Hook victims, who just won a nearly $1 billion judgment against him?

I am getting tired of reading about young quarterbacks failing because quarterback is the most-difficult position to play in football, especially after watching Justin Fields and Carson Wentz play against each other for the Bears and Reds ... uh, Commanders, respectively.

Bull crap.

The most-difficult position to play in football is the one you're playing.

It's most difficult if you're an offensive tackle lined up opposite Micah Parsons.

It's most difficult if you're the cornerback lined up opposite Stefon Diggs. One on one.

It's most difficult if you're the offensive coordinator trying to figure out Bill Belichick's defense that week.

It's most difficult if you're one of the 31 owners against whom Commanders owner Daniel Snyder says he has all "the dirt."

However, quarterback is most difficult to play when your offensive line sucks.

Female soccer players got what was due when the national team got paid on par with the men's national team.

Only to have a bigger foe - abusive behavior - come to light.

But now, NWSL owners are being chastised and booted for just that.

'Bout time.

Kanye, Ye, or WTF you want to call him, has been booted off Twitter for an alleged anti-semitic post.

This leads to a few observations.

Thank goodness Elon Musk does not have Twitter. Yet. (Anyone feel like he never will?)

And who does Ye think he is, Tommy Tuberville?

Herschel Walker in the U.S. Senate would be one of the biggest wastes of time and money in history.

Yet, about half of Georgia's eligible voters will cast a ballot for this prick.

Yes, it is time to let the South secede (sorry, friends and relatives who live there).

The Try Guys are a thing.

Yes, they're hysterical.

The SNL sketch roasting them was even more hysterical, but they probably welcomed it - being roasted by SNL means you're really a thing.

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, USWNST and NWSL.

More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show.

My 9-year-old grandson is holding his own in his fantasy league against grown-ups. You go, Jordan.
