A little of this and a little of that

 So Major League Baseball's owners have decided they're not ready to let the players back into camp and prep for the season. The fat cats are being petty, petulant children. One reporter for the NY Daily News went so far as to say the lockout is aimed at Mets owner Steve Cohen, who spent major cheddar to get ace pitcher Max Scherzer away from the Dodgers in the off-season. So the Mets will be on the hook for the luxury tax. Cohen isn't sweating. He feels he has to give the fans the best possible product on the field.

The other owners, on the other hand, are playing hardball, delaying the start of the season as long as they can. What they're forgetting, of course, are the people that actually help pay for the players' salaries, and that's the fans themselves. That's going to make it that much harder to win back the fans after this is over.

Speaking of owners, word's come down that a group of the original owners of USFL franchises in the 80's are suing Fox over copyrights, one would guess. 70's icon Larry Csonka, who played with Miami and the Giants, with a stopover in the World Football League in between, is siding with the ex-owners. No word on whether a certain bloviator in Florida, who had a stake in one of the USFL franchises, is involved, as if he needs another lawsuit to worry about.

During President Biden's State of The Union address Tuesday, two GOPer airheads decided to spoil the party, if ya will, by doing what they do best, make fools of themselves.

Of course, that would be Empty-G (Marjorie Taylor Greene) and Lauren Bow-Wow, whose sole goal was to call attention to themselves and overshadow the proceedings. The news media is certainly paying more attention to their juvenile stunt than the official GOPer response from Iowa governor Kim Reynolds, which was largely BS anyway.

This morning on The View, the panel, with guest Michele Tafoya (ex-Sunday Night Football), had plenty to say, and moderator Whoopi Goldberg put the two dimbulbs on blast.

Edit, 7/2/24: The video has been removed from YouTube.

Tafoya, in case you don't know, left NBC Sports after the Super Bowl last month to pursue a career in politics as a GOPer herself. Here, she's filling the vacant chair left behind by Meghan McCain as part of a continuing series of guest-co-hosts until they decide on a permanent co-host.
