Names making news

 Kanye "Ye" West should've titled his new CD, "Non-Stop Drama", because that's what we've been subjected to all this week.

Still butt-hurt over his pending divorce from Kim Kardashian AND her relationship with Pete Davidson (Saturday Night Live, "The Suicide Squad"), West has been making headlines all week, from begging God for forgiveness to bring his family back together to excluding fellow rapper Kid Cudi from the new album, "Donda 2", to rumors that his new lady, Julia Fox, may have cooled things a bit (not confirmed).

West claims to have given his life to Christ, but like a certain "friend" of his, whom we'll talk about shortly, he behaves like anything but. It's been reported in the past that West was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, but he's denied being off his medication. Oh? I've known people in the mental health system since the 80's. Denial is not a good thing.

The next CD should be titled, "Pariah", because that's what "Ye" has become.

Farron Cousins reported earlier today that Donald John Narcissus Trump is still trying to pass the buck on the blame for the 1/6/21 Capitol riot on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

"WAAAAHHHH! It's her fault, not mine! WAAAHHHH!"

Deflecting & denying blame are Trump hallmarks, passed on to the Repugnant Party of this decade. Trump, not Pelosi, was the one who had the authority to call in the Capitol Police before the riot, but didn't. He's so deathly afraid of the inevitable indictment that should be coming against him soon enough, not only for the riot, but for the bazillion charges facing him in New York, Washington, & in Georgia. He's unwilling to admit to any wrongdoing, thinking he's above the law. He isn't, and it's way past time he learned that basic truism.

Traditionally, the network carrying the Super Bowl, in this case NBC, would premiere a new show right after the game.

Not this year.

NBC will flip to Olympic coverage after the game tonight, breaking only for news at 11 (ET). Most of today's coverage, while streaming on Peacock, is airing on USA Network. It might be the only thing that gets the Olympic ratings out of the Nielsen basement.

Due to a trip to Saudi Arabia next weekend, WWE taped the February 18 episode of Smackdown following Friday's live broadcast from New Orleans. Not to spoil anything, but rumors are that after their interaction at Royal Rumble two weeks ago, "Jackass Forever" star Johnny Knoxville will again cross paths with Sami Zayn, with possibly higher stakes in mind, at Wrestlemania. Again, this is so WWE Chairman-CEO Vince McMahon gets mainstream media attention outside of sports networks for his major shows. Zayn, a Canadian of Syrian background, is on the longest extended heel run of his career, but is also doing charity work off camera that WWE won't acknowledge on the air.

You'll have to tune in this Friday to see where this all leads.
