*drags Diobolic over to Jets' HQ's* Hey guys!*points to Diobolic* Your new starter is here..... LOL... The last time I played quarterback was tailgating at a Jets vs Bears game in the Meadowlands parking lot. The scotch was going down pretty good and I organized a "touch" football game between Jets fans and Bears fans. The game quickly devolved into a full contact tackle game on the asphalt. We were so banged up and bruised by gametime. I had dislocated my right thumb. again. On the trip home my "friends" took a unanimous vote that they were never going to invite me to a game ever again. Which makes you perfect to be a NY Jets quarterback!

A lot of Americans stopped following them. The ratings are way down. I know many other long time fans that have completely abandoned professional sports. We no longer buy their merchandise, pay for their network subscriptions. We are just done with them. I do not take issue with those who still watch them. I just refuse to support them anymore. I want them to take a hit financially. That will mean the players will get less money. They will have less to bargain with. You might not but most of the country does. Since when has human rights become a left wing issure? A lot of small businesses depend on sports teams to earn a living. So keep up the racial animosity and watch your friends lose jobs. Ratings are down as a result of the politicizing of sports. That is a fact. I do not have any friends that are working in sports, so nobody I know of is effected if entire leagues fold. The thing is, people that watch sports do so for entertainment. It is an escape from the everyday stresses. We do not tune in to watch the league or the players making political statements. Personally, if they are going to continue this practice, I would not care if the NFL folds completely. That is not likely to happen, but lower ratings and a lower sale of products effects their bottom line and ability to pay higher salaries.

Hello John ! Nice to see you on here. I was wondering where you were I go through these spells where I am so busy, I am unable to spend time online. I have not been on the internet in 2 weeks. Speaking of sports, even if I was all into it like I was, I do not have the time to watch like I once did. I have been a huge Atlanta Braves fan going back to the 80s, and I did not see a single game all year, and only one World Series game. I just do not have much free time. I thought I would stop by tonight and try to catch up while I could. I hope you are doing well?

This year gone has been over the top crazy for me. Finally winding things down now, thankfully. I'm glad you dropped by

This year gone has been over the top crazy for me. Finally winding things down now, thankfully. I'm glad you dropped by We have been short handed at work, and had a recent covid19 outbreak among dispatchers. That week was a mess, with a skeleton crew handing all the drivers. Thankfully, everyone is back to work now, including my regular dispatcher that was out for a week and a half with covid19. We have had a shortage of drivers, so those of us who are working are being run hard. I am not going to complain though, because I am thankful to have work. I do not know what all is happening in your life, but you always struck me as a very busy lady. Maybe things will settle down a bit in 2022? Now we have the holidays upon us. I have to do a lot of Christmas shopping, and the biggest problem there is not having enough time. I will likely do most of my shopping by mail this year. Take care of yourself.

I am hoping to not be so busy next year for sure. But we will see.
Sure would be nice to just sit back and relax a bit. I feel that I need that at this point in time. I'm quite exhausted.
There is a big shortage of truck drivers in many places. Thankfully some are still on the roads, otherwise many things would simply come to a standstill. We get much of our stuff trucked in where I am, so we heavily rely on them. I think people are realizing a new respect for truckers, after all without where would we be?
