All Star Weekend: Who decided?

Are you an NBA fan? I am, I love watching the Houston Rockets and the All Star Weekend is always good. So, yes, I am a fan, but, do all of these players deserve to be there? Are there not players that get “left out” that should be there? Well, I am sure that everybody knows of a player that they feel should be there, but isn’t, so, why are they not there? Who decided?

First you have to look at what it is all about, Money! No, it is not about the game of basketball, it is all about Money! I don’t remember when it starts, but you and me and everybody else gets to vote for their favorite players, if the player is not on the list, well, too bad, but why are there only select players and not every player? I am sure that it is just to keep it simple, too many choices would make a big mess, so to speak. With a limited selection, it narrows down the finalists from the very first vote, and, after all, the fans are stupid, dumb, clueless, or whatever it is that Charles Barkley says, and I have to admit, I agree with him.

If you take the fact that the fans are “clueless”, and add that to “how do we make more money” mix all that up with “hype”, what do you get? Think about it, the commercials during the NBA games are already promoting the finals, the all-star games, and everything else that those with the money want you to focus on, and what is that you ask? They want you to spend your money! We buy jersies, T-shirts, tickets, and the biggie, Season Tickets, because of the hype! I have to also say this, the only reason I am even watching TNT is because of the All-Star Weekend, since Charles Barkley isn’t there, the regular show has gone to heck and I won’t watch it! I have tried, but first off, it has become the East Coast NBA channel, only the select few from the West are even shown, I guess thats ok if you aren’t a fan of the West. Second, Barkley was funny, entertaining to say the least, the way the show is now, somebody better rescue that poor white guy, he sticks out like a sore thumb, he has lost control of the show, get him out of there, he is not just too old, but he is too white, to hang out with everybody else, he just doesn’t fit in, I mean it is either that or find a couple of ex-players that are other than black. Nothing against the black guys, don’t get me wrong, they just need to be a bit more diverse, the guys on there now just get to carried away with themselves, Barkley somehow kept them all in check.

Bye bye Fred, OK, now what?

Not all that long ago, Fred Thompson was the Republican’s big star, the buzz was everywhere that he was going to get the party going again, I guess not.

I remember back when it was just a rumor that he would run, most of the other candidates were already out working, but no, not Fred, he waited, wanted to be sure I guess, before he hit the campaign trail, then what do you know? ITS OVER! This guy was a joke! Had he been applying for a job, he never would have had a second interview, he wouldn’t have shown up!

Maybe he did it for a tax write-off? What else could he have gotten out of this? Oh, maybe a VP job? Personally, I hope not, if he can’t show up to work for his own campain, what would he add to the ticket as a VP candidate?

In my opinion, I say “I am glad he’s gone” once we get it all thinned out, to the final two, one left and one right, maybe the issues will be discussed? As of now, it is who has the most money, who believes in what religion, who is really who? Get on with it!

If I hear Billary talk about health care one more time I’ll scream! Somebody come up with a new issue to discuss! Between her and Osama Barak, or whatever his name is, there is little more than a couple of spoiled kids arguing at a playground!

Depending on where you sit, it could be a good thing that the two Dumbocrats are showing the world that they can”t even get along as Democrats, how will they do anything in office? It is kind of funny, it is usually the republicans that they toss lies about, now it is each other!
