Hasn't been a very good week for Baby Donnie, the Big Insurrectionist has it? And to think that a couple days ago, the vile Republicans were thinking this would benefit them politically. Still going there, Republicans? The incendiary language coming from the Congressional d-bags was truly revolting. And yet, of course, there are still millions in the imbecile brigade who will continue to believe whatever lies Trump lays on them because, even though he's a pathological liar, according to them he's another George Washington.

Well, here's one Fox talking point, for those unaware. The FBI planted documents in their raid on Mar-a-Lago. The evidence? Hey, who needs evidence? This sounds like something that would only come from people who know the FBI found some very bad things in those boxes. That may be true, but how likely is it that Fox would have any knowledge of that? I think it's more likely just the Fake News Network doing what the Fake News Network does.

Given that he’s on Morgan State he’s keeping it in the family since he’s joining Broadus. I hope this is a stepping stone for an eventual gig here and he’s just building up a resume to return to the Hoyas. If Austin Freeman's goal is to coach in college, he's smart to make the move from high school to college in this role. I imagine after a year or two, he can transition to an assistant role either at Morgan State or elsewhere. While the Wright/Freeman years never had NCAA success, I really loved those teams and generally those teams were filled with good guys. I always look fondly on those teams, even if they frustrated us in November. March?

Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! The Atlanta-area district attorney investigating Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election is insisting that Rudy Giuliani appear for a grand jury interview Tuesday, rejecting his effort for a last-ditch postponement that Giuliani said is the result of a medical procedure. But Giuliani made an emergency motion on Monday to postpone his hearing, saying a recent medical procedure left him unable to fly for several weeks. Giuliani cited an Aug. 2 letter from his doctor, Eric Neibart, saying he was “not yet cleared for air travel” after his surgery. Notably, the DA’s office said it had “obtained records” that show Giuliani made a mid-July purchase of “multiple airline tickets with cash, including tickets to Rome, Italy, and Zurich, Switzerland, for travel dates ranging between July 22, 2022, and July 29, 2022.” “All of these dates were after the Witness’s medical procedure,” Willis said in the filing. www.politico.com/news/2022/08/08/georgia-da-rejects-giuliani-effort-to-postpone-aug-9-grand-jury-appearance-00050378Hopefully he had a lobotomy.

This month's jobs report must really depress HoyaTalk "Republicans" as they root for Biden's failure IOT boost their racist/fascist cult leader. Instead, the MAGA GOP would rather kiss the a*@ of racist/fascist Viktor Orban. Not to mention Infrastructure, the CHIPS Act, Gun Safety legislation, and Inflation Reduction Act on the verge of passage, the killing of Al Zawahiri. And holding together NATO in support of Ukraine in the face of Putin's war (Putin being the MAGA GOP's BFF). But I hear that "Biden is no better." What did the orange psycho accomplish aside from subverting American democracy? The hot labor market continued to show rapid growth in July, with employers adding 528,000 jobs, despite fears of a recession. The unemployment rate edged down to 3.5 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In July, the labor market continued to show stunning growth that afforded workers historic wage gains and more leverage at their jobs. www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/08/05/jobs-report-july-2022/Well, yes, but here's the thing, as Monk used to say. I read that some analyst from Bank of America said that the jobs number is actually a really bad thing, as it means that high inflation will continue with us for some time. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

Everybody knew this at the time, and many didn't care. My view on Justice K is that he was reasonably competent as a lower court judge, but that the last guy and the Republicans could have easily found someone without so much baggage (like Gorsuch, for example), and they just didn't give a damn.

3-20, ick. Although I do think that Aminu had a couple lines like that last season. But those were in real games against opponents actually playing decent defense. Yeah, yeah, I know. Just trying to put it in the best possible light, if there is one.

Kevin Willard has added his second commitment in the class of 2023. This afternoon, summer stock riser Jamie Kaiser announced he will stay close to home and commit to Maryland. A 6-foot-6 shooting guard out of Burke (Va.) Kaiser chose the Terrapins over his other two finalists of Indiana and Virginia. Kaiser is optimistic about the direction Willard will take the program and the chance of making a big impact early in his college career. With his commitment, Kaiser joins top 150 senior Johnathan Lamothe to give the Terps the No. 11 ranked recruiting class in the country. 247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Jamie-Kaiser-commits-to-Maryland-Basketball-Recruiting-191087403/He chose ..... poorly.

Jordan Riley: 7 pts, 3-15 2 pt, 1-2 FT, 0-5 3pt, 3 reb (2 off), 2 asst, 1 st, 2 bl, 1 TO -Riley and Mutombo both played a lot more today. Riley was kind of playing point guard for much of the game. -His jump shot just is not working this summer. He took a lot of pull up 15-18 footers today, and did not hit any of them. You don’t see many 3-20 shooting lines, even in a summer league. www.casualhoya.com/2022/8/1/23287390/kenner-league-notes-july-30-31-georgetown-hoyas-mcdonough3-20, ick. Although I do think that Aminu had a couple lines like that last season.

Where to start...
One of the best things about growing up in Los Angeles in the 1960's was being able to listen to Vinnie call the Dodger games and Chick Hearn call the Laker games, and happily for us fans, it continued on for decades. I can share two things about listening to Vinnie, one of which I am sure is not unique, but likely shared by (formerly) young baseball fans across the country, and the second of which may be.
When I was a boy, I had an early bedtime, much to my chagrin ("we don't care what other parents do, we think this is best for you"). If the Dodgers were playing at home or in San Francisco, I would put the radio on my nightstand on very low, and listen to the Dodgers while in bed. I only did that for the Angels if they were playing the White Sox. If I would hear someone coming to check on me (typically my dad), I would turn off the radio and pretend to be asleep, and then turn it back on when he would leave. Chances are I probably fell asleep with the radio on more than once, but I don't recall that.
When the Dodgers moved to Chavez Ravine, my uncle got season tickets through his business, so my parents would take me to a few games per season. My mother hated baseball, but she was a good sport, and would typically take something to read. I would always, and I mean always, take my transistor radio to the game, so I could listen to Vinnie call the game I was watching. And I wasn't alone in this rather oddball activity. EVERYBODY (or nearly everybody) did it, because Vinnie was such a pleasure to listen to, and he would always add some story that made him worth listening to even while at the game. He was just the best. So many of his calls are iconic, and not just in baseball. I saw his call on The Catch again last night, and like so much else, it's perfect. He just had the knack for saying the right thing in the right way at the right time.
I actually have a Vinnie-autographed baseball. About ten or twelve years ago, a former partner of mine did some work in Dallas for one of Vinnie's daughters, and Vinnie told him that if he was ever in LA while the Dodgers were at home, he should come to the press box to meet Vinnie. So my friend did happen to be in LA at one point, and the Dodgers were at home, so I got my firm's tickets for the game. We went up to the press box before the game, and as one might expect, Vinnie couldn't have been more gracious and charming. He gave my friend an autographed ball, and my friend then gave it to me, saying I would appreciate it more than he did, which is true, of course.
I'm sure the Dodgers will retain Vinnie's "it's time for Dodger baseball" pre-game announcement more or less forever.
RIP, Vin. Hopefully you are reunited with your beloved Sandi. We will miss you down here.

The Department of Defense and the U.S. Army have confirmed in court filings that some former senior Trump administration officials had their phones wiped at the end of former President Trump's term, deleting any text messages that could shed insight into the events leading up to and surrounding the Jan. 6 insurrection. www.axios.com/2022/08/02/jan6-riots-defense-army-messagesWow. Just wow.

A great player and a great man. RIP Bill. I'm sure the Laker family would agree.
