OMG! Bannon, Musk and Hot Hosts on ESPN

The Schloss-Blog wants to know ... where does ESPN find all those hottie blonde anchors on Sports Center?

And most of them dress like they're going to or coming from a hot night out at New York's finest clubs. I mean, a lot of them don't dress appropirately for national TV news (Run away with me, Nicole Briscoe). Seriously, they almost look a little too "red carpet" (Kelsey Riggs, I love you). I mean, I think about changing the channel when one of them is anchoring (You and me, Shae Cornette, forever). 

Just kidding.

Or am I?

On a lighter note, the inauguration of the 47th president has to be moved indoors due to the extreme cold weather in D.C.

Shucks, that cancels any chance of a record-breaking crowd, but you know '47' will say it was anyway.

***

OK, OK, Elle Duncan - I know you're not blonde but you make my "hot Sports Center anchors" list anyway, OK. 

And don't call again to complain.

***

Have heard - Steve Bannon is out to stop Elon Musk, who he calls "truly evil."

Really, never though I'd see the day Bannon would start tossing around generous compoliments like that.

Been watching TGL - The Golf League? It's the Tiger Woods/Rory McIlroy-inspired indoor game of teams playing on a high-tech wonder of a wild golf course in a studio arena transformed into the most insane simulated golf course ever.

So far ... meh.

While the technology is incredibly impressive and the players among the world's best, I'll be more into it when Tiger and Rory make it available to the masses at an affordable "greens fee."

That means the masses, as in 'me.' Hey Tiger, Rory, get some of those built around the country. Please.

I would love, during winter in Chicagoland, to go to Tigerland (OK, Rory/Tigerland) and hit a few balls, play a 'round of golf' and have a few cold ones with my buds.

Of course, it doesn't have a hottie cart girl driving around with snacks and cold ones, it doesn't have real water traps (although it does have sand, real sand) and it doesn't have other bad golfers like yourself hitting into you, no, literally, into you.

But really, the only thing missing is ... Elle Duncan.

Inflation isn't the only thing down in Phoenix lately (1.6% the last 12 months). Check out the murder rate, down 28% in 2024, year over year.

Donald Trump had us believe crime is rampant in America, but the only thing rampant is his wild tendency to lie obsessively.

***

America's soon-to-be Secretary of Death, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., tried to have vaccinations halted for COVID during 2021, when we needed it most.

He's going to try to kill us America, or die trying.

I always get stoppers for my drinks at Starbucks, to keep them from splashing inadvertently. 

Ask for stoppers at a Starbucks in New York though and guess what? They ain't got none.

It's a New York thing, my wife tells me.

So is a $9-and-up 'congestion' fee for driving your car into Manhattan south of 60th Street. For New Yorkers, if they have to or want to come into the city, they'll pay the various fees and not even blink, even if it costs them as much as $2,000 a year.

A New York thing? It's called money.

Notre Dame versus Ohio State on Monday night.

I despise both.

But Ohio State will win, and for my Cleveland-native wife, they better.

***

Speed limit in Chicago is going to be reduced from 30 to 25 on city streets.

They must have heard I was back in town this week.

However, the move got blocked in the Ciy Council for the time being.

I'll take as many MPH as I can get.

***

Yes, the Sports Center anchors are professionals, broadcasdt predigrees with poise, sophistication and fluidity on air.

Who often dress like it's girls night out at the NY clubs, or maybe a bachelor-ette night out. I'm sorry, but they do.

Good night Mrs. Calabash. Heres' to you, Jordan Grinnell.

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