Turnaround Jump Shot on Tourney
What happened last night was I watched one game and part of another (maybe I should have stayed!) before leaving to play hoop myself. Didn't have the greatest game, and team got hammered a couple of times, but it was the best of both worlds. I've already decide to not play Wednesday as there is a quadruple header at the Cage that day, but will play inspired ball and never quit on Sunday morning following championship Saturday.
Meanwhile, outside the gym the world is on fire because of certain psychopathic leaders and ethnic tribes. Same story as always; they just have deadlier weapons in their hands. What isn't the same is the received propaganda and wisdom is no longer believed.
And the shot.... is good!
UPDATE (3/5): Left the gym on a high last night as I saw one of the most exciting high school basketball games I have ever seen. The game had everything. It was raining threes from way out, there was the ebb and flow of one team taking a lead, the other coming back to go ahead, back and forth, back and forth. What a great basketball game. The initial game of the night was also very entertaining, while one could only marvel at the brutal efficiency exhibited by their town's female squad. Four more games on tap tonight. It will be hard to top last night's finale, but we will see what they bring.

Time Out For Tourney
So here we are again, another year of high-school tournament action for the next two weeks with the added bonus of the local branch of the state U likely making the NCAA tournament for the first time in 15 years. I'm having mixed feelings about the high-school ball because the state finally got its way and the field has expanded from three divisions to four. Apparently western Massachusetts finally relented to state pressure.
At first I thought great, more games, but then realized it upset the whole balance. For one thing, a whole chunk of central Mass. teams are now included, so what happened was what used to be a West-Central match-up in the state semis is now basically a Western Mass. championship game even thought the central teams played a totally different schedule. They are not happy, either, feeling they got screwed in the seedings and they probably did. Anyhow, that makes following the subsequent state finals less interesting to me, although it does mean an extra day of games out here.
Then I checked the schedules and it's looking like there is nowhere to go this Thursday. With the expanded fields and divisions many girl's games that would have been in-region are now much further away. I could go down to Northampton again, but I'm tired of going down there every year -- especially after Pittsfield was robbed by the officials in last years quarterfinal -- and then I got to thinking, inclusion of all those central teams means potentially taking a spot in the finals away from a deserving western school. Not too happy about that, and I'm sure some of the central teams are feeling the same way. But it is what it is.
So it looks like another month off from blogging here. Hope the world is still in one piece if I come back. Truth is I'm sick of saying the same things over and over and over, year after year after year. The psychopaths in charge of the planet need to do their ritual of self-destruction. The time for interventions has long passed, it's been eight years of screaming interventions with none listening. I do look forward to seeing them in hell so I can feast upon their innards, but that's a post for another time.
UPDATE (Feb. 28): Should have went to the game last night, but am going to one tonight.
UPDATE (Mar 1): Probably should have stayed home and listened on radio. Game was one of the worst officiated games I ever saw. It wasn't just the confusion surrounding the shot, it was the inattentiveness they showed all night. I suppose referees can have an off night, too, but when it's the last game of careers for some kids and a state-sanctioned tournament.... anyhow, after those events I received a warning from police because my voice projects well and loud. I must say the policeman that came up to where I was sitting was very respectful. Told me he understood and didn't even flinch as I lightly grabbed him by the shoulders and issued my complaints and that the kids had worked so hard. Told me to calm down a bit and I told him he wouldn't be back up there. By then I was as deflated as the team.
Feel bad about everything now, and it was all put aside during the ride home. After the game is over and they leave, I leave it all on the court. I don't follow people or any of that. In fact, I'm one of the first ones to get out of the gym, win or lose. I've been on the other side before and -- literally -- feared for my life at a game years ago. I applauded a shoot clock violation in the wrong section, cheering my boys' good defense, and the crowd came down on me. I'm not exaggerating things; I really was worried about getting to the car that night. Nothing happened, and no one said a word, but the steps seemed like forever. Strange thing is I have cheered for their team before and after that incident. Part of the league.
I suppose what bugs me the most is you can't even get fairness or justice at a high school basketball game. Maybe you never could, but given the rank rot and corruption across all institutions in AmeriKa these days one hope it wouldn't bleed down to this level. Remarked to my friend that we do a better job policing ourselves in pick-up. He made some incisive comments about how the officials never offered an explanation for the changed call, even if it was the right one. They left us all guessing, and that only added to the frustration.
There will be games every night next week and a slate of six on Saturday, but I don't know how many I will attend. Two are on nights I play basketball myself, and with the ending of my career in sight (next time could always be my last, but hopefully not, knock wood) I will likely choose to participate in an activity than spectate and observe. Maybe I should apply that philosophy to this blog.

Breaking News: Boston Marathon Bombed By Terrorists
MSM has made some points in that it was Patriots Day, and that this week is also the anniversary of both the OKC bombing and the Waco Siege. Obviously they are leaning towards homeland terrorism. Its important you see which way the MSM slants
According to local television reports I'm watching now, they are TELLING PEOPLE in BOSTON to STAY INDOORS and DO NOT CONGREGATE in any GROUPS while MSNBC experts are INSISTING it is a TERRORIST ATTACK!
NEW UPDATE (5:25): Boston marathon bombing happened on same day as 'controlled explosion' drill by Boston bomb squad
Oh, no, it's another drill gone live like the London tube!
UPDATE (5:25):
"Authorities have a identified a suspect, a Saudi national, who is currently being guarded in a Boston hospital with shrapnel wounds."
Now the nation is going on FULL ALERT?
It's ANOTHER 9/11!!!! They are finding BOMBS ALL OVER THE PLACE!
This is SUCH a PSY-OP of a FALSE FLAG it is SICKENING!
The New York Post Reports Boston Marathon Bombing Suspect In Custody
Now word is that a WAVE of BOMBINGS will be occurring ACROSS the WEEK to DEMONIZE ANYONE who does NOT AGREE with this war-criminal government.
Related: Boston Marathon Explosions: More Bombs Discovered at JFK Library and Mandarin Hotel?
Yup, ALL the TYRANNY BASED on LIES is NOW JUSTIFIED!!
How could we EVER QUESTION THEM?
Explosions Reported Near Finish of Boston Marathon
Boston Globe staffers says multiple people injured near the Boston Marathon finish line after explosion
Update (3:34): CNN is now saying a THIRD DEVICE is being sought!
So who is going to get framed for this? Syria? Iran? Russia? China? Or the government-created domestic whipping boys of white supremacy?
This thing so reeks of a false flag. What "terrorist" worth his salt would make a statement bombing that?
Update (4:26): Now the ma$$ media mouthpiece has made the link with Patriot's Day, meaning this is going to be pinned on the Patriot movement.

How I Am Feeling At This Very Moment
"The World At War: AFRICOM vs Ghana in the Round of 16
We Are The World, and as I write, we are preparing for another battle, the next in a month-long series of short, controlled skirmishes which will draw the attention of billions of people, although neither the individual skirmishes nor the series have any actual significance. Such is the power of modern marketing.
The imminent clash pits the huge and mighty USA -- which just recently admitted running overt and covert "clandestine operations" in at least 75 "sovereign" nations -- against the small and mostly impoverished African nation of Ghana. Despite the disparity in resources, USA is not considered a "prohibitive favorite". Such is the nature of modern football (which Americans insist on calling "soccer").
Recently, at a family gathering, one of the older women -- a mother of three boys, two of whom joined the Marines as teenagers -- was talking about the Vietnam-era anti-war demonstrators. Many people believe that the anti-war movement forced an end to the war. I wouldn't go quite that far, but at the very least the anti-war movement proved to me that some Americans still had functioning brains and hearts.
I don't see that very much anymore; the brains appear to have turned to mush, and the hearts to stone. I was hoping the old woman was about to say something of a similar nature, but instead, looking back on the protests, she said, "That was so difficult for the parents!"
Given the circumstances, there was little I could say. I certainly couldn't say what I was thinking: "The parents!? It was difficult for the parents?? How do you think it was for the children???"
First we had to throw off all the propaganda we'd been fed by our schools, by our parents, by the teevee and the radio, the movies and the newspapers and all the rest of our so-called "culture"; then we had to bring ourselves face-to-face with the fact that our government had made a policy of killing millions of innocent people, who had no means to harm us and no intention of doing so, for fun and profit. It was a repulsive revelation, especially in the midst of all the Disney-crap we'd been "brought up" on.
But even that wasn't enough, because having learned what we had learned, having taken the stands we had taken, we then had to endure the rejection of our parents: and we saw with our own eyes how the people who had brought us into this world, fed us and held us, taught us and loved us, turned against us when we brought to light the most vital truth of their lives, preferring the deadly fiction to which they were accustomed, and with which they were so much more comfortable. And now, "it was so difficult for the parents". Such is the power of modern American stupidity.
None of this makes any difference, of course, to the billions preparing to tune in to the match between USA and Ghana. Very few of the world's sporting fans seem to know or care whether Ghana is seen by USA as nothing but a tiny component of AFRICOM, which in itself is simply one cog in the Pentagon's plan to rule the world by force. I know people who will be standing and cheering and yelling "USA!! USA!!" all afternoon, but I cannot share -- or understand -- their sentiment.
I want to see the whole world screaming for Ghana. I want to see the whole world waking up and aligning itself against the USA, not only in world football but also -- much more significantly -- against the American plan to rule the world.
I want ordinary, "decent", "intelligent" Americans to see the unprovoked murder of even one innocent person as an intolerable outrage; then I want them to understand that their country has murdered millions upon millions of innocent people, not just at one time and in one place but repeatedly, all over the world, for decades. And I want them to realize that their chant of "USA!! USA!!" is -- for the rest of the world -- the most obscene of non-violent gestures.
Not that it matters in the slightest to anyone, but it breaks my heart to realize that the country of my birth is a serial mass murderer, and that even despite the horror that is USA, many of the allegedly most intelligent people I know, including elderly and supposedly wise members of my extended family, still support it, while seeing any prospect of facing the truth about it as "difficult for the parents".
I want the so-called "Family of Man" to take a stand. I want to hear millions and millions -- billions -- of voices, jeering and whistling every time an American player touches the ball. I want to hear billions of voices jeering and whistling every time an American president tells another outrageous lie, every time the American military launches another unprovoked attack against innocent people, every time ... every time ...
I know none of this will happen. But then again this is football, where everything is artificial and nothing matters. Surely a battered old man with a broken heart can have a dream now and then, can't he? Isn't that what the beautiful game is about?

I'm doing the best I can, WP.
I -- unlike my fellow citizens -- was very annoyed that AmeriKa advanced late against Algeria for the reasons he outlined.
One thing I am tired of hearing is the homer announcers griping about AmeriKa is getting cheated, and then minimizing it when they tackle someone.
AmeriKans are down 1-0 at halftime.
What's more, I personally know someone from Ghana and they must be full of glee right now.
Time for the second half.
Go Ghana!

Three-Pointers For Peace
"PEACE IN THE COURT
February 6, 2009
It’s reports such as this one that shows there is hope! Hopefully soon!!
Jews and Palestinians unite in basketball ‘peace league’
Scores of teenage boys Thursday - Israeli and Palestinian - helped kick off the second season of the Jerusalem Peace Basketball League, a joint initiative of the Jerusalem municipality and PeacePlayers International - Middle East. The league is comprised of six integrated teams of Arab and Jewish youth, who participate in the Twinned Basketball Clubs program, and four other teams from across Jerusalem and a West Bank town.
The league is actually in its second incarnation, according to Michael Cherubin, the organization’s operations manager and co-director of the league. The first, he explained Thursday, ran about six years before falling apart in the early days of the Al-Aqsa Intifada.
Cherubin noted that the involvement of Americans helped to bring this league to fruition in a city entrenched in the heart of the conflict. He said the Jerusalem municipality, which ran the first league, “thought it was a dead idea, but they were happy to financially support it as soon as they understood it was possible.”
The league draws from youth who have been playing basketball with PeacePlayers since 2006, practicing twice a week in their communities and twice a month with their twin club. “They were getting older and lacked a competitive league structure,” said Cherubin, who came from the U.S. after studying for a master’s degree in peace and conflict resolution at the American University.
Cherubin says the league works because the kids “have been playing together for years.” The neutral, American nature of the organization made it easier for Palestinians to not feel guilty about participating in such a league, he noted. After building the connections in recent years, Cherubin said, the league became an easy sell. “Instead of making a cold call to someone, I could say: ‘You know me, you trust me. We want to start this league. What do you think?’”
Cherubin feels lucky to have a hand in helping the youths strengthen their bonds, especially after the recent fighting.
Still, because of the sensitivity of the ongoing conflict, the names of individual players or even the neighborhoods are not widely publicized to preempt a possible backlash against the efforts of these brave children.

FYI, readers: there is nothing in this world I like doing more than playing basketball. For a couple of hours each week I can engage in the purest form of escapism, for when I am out on the basketball floor my attention is solely focused on what is occurring on the 94 x 50 foot rectangle. The outside world and all its troubles are kept at bay -- for at least a couple of hours.

Jamie Lynn Spears Pregnant Again
"The Week in People: Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy rumors
by Tony Hicks
Contra Costa Times
THE BREEDING OF THE SPEARS FAMILY MAY CONTINUE UNCHECKED: The National Enquirer reported last week that Jamie Lynn Spears may be pregnant again, only three months after giving birth to daughter Maddie.
The Enquirer quotes a "source" as saying the 17-year-old sister of Britney Spears said the father of the alleged new baby is the younger Spears' boyfriend Casey Aldridge, who also happened to father Maddie. The source (someday someone is going to name a child "Source" and we're all going to be in trouble) said Jamie-Lynn didn't believe she could get pregnant while breast-feeding. Which is funny, because she's not breast-feeding.
Well, OK, they say she is, but you never know with this family. "She is not pregnant," her rep assured OK! magazine on Wednesday.
OK, well, that's not very fun, then. We'll believe it when we see the pregnancy test ourselves.

"In a run for schoolteacher, game buddy, Obama wins it
WASHINGTON - If this election were about which candidate people wanted as their child's schoolteacher, Barack Obama would be moving to the head of the class. They'd also rather watch a football game with him, but only by inches.
People picked the Democrat over Republican John McCain to catch a game with by 50 percent to 47 percent, according to an Associated Press-
Excuse me?

"Besieged students team up in school's defense; Pride swells ranks at Lincoln-Sudbury game" by John M. Guilfoil, Globe Correspondent | September 20, 2008
SUDBURY - This is not the first time Lincoln-Sudbury students have gotten into trouble for drinking. Even the L-S parents gossiped throughout the week about the nickname "Drunken-Drugbury" from rival schools.
That's kind of funny!
Instead of boycotting the game, protesting, or trying to fight the system, the students, and particularly the senior class, took their licks and decided to use the increased media attention to their advantage. They sent Facebook and text messages to each other all week, reminding classmates and friends to attend the game, show school spirit, and be upbeat.
Yup, the kids ain't old enough to drink, but they ARE OLD ENOUGH to be sent to WAR!!!!
The school serves two of the state's most affluent communities. The final score: Lincoln-Sudbury 20, Hingham 3. The Warriors won, and in the eyes of the administration, parents, and students, so did Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School.
Oh, well, they won the game -- that's the important thing!!!

"In support of social justice
It was a quintessential Cambridge night last night, as Howard Zinn joined retired Rindge and Latin School history teacher Larry Aaronson and Lesley University professor Nancy Carlsson-Paige, a.k.a. Matt Damon's mom, at a fund-raiser for Social Justice Works! The event was held at Hotel Marlowe. Zinn showed clips from "The People Speak," the Chris Moore and Damon-produced film based on readings from his famous text. Rindge alums Fanshen Cox Emilio Flores, and Justin Lynch received grants for their ongoing social justice work. (Cox started a multicultural film fest in LA, and Flores and Lynch are working with South End teens to build a playground and center.) Aaronson said he wants to support former students who are out doing good in the world. "It just overwhelms me, how many of these kids are out there working in the high schools, the police departments, in public law," he said. Damon, an honorary event chair, wanted to be with them last night, but he's been busy with relief efforts in Haiti, said Aaronson, his former teacher. "That's what these kids do."
I used to respect Zinn quite a bit, but not anymore.
See: 9/11 and AmeriKan Leftists and ZinnFest!
I'm tired of controlled opposition lefties that never say anything.

"Parents required to join students at game; School reacts to drinking incident" by Milton J. Valencia, Globe Staff | September 18, 2008
Students at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School will have to bring a parent or guardian if they want to attend the school football team's game on Friday, a tough new policy enacted in reaction to widespread drinking at the last game that forced two students to go to the hospital and left seven suspended.
John M. Ritchie, superintendent and principal, said the new requirement that a parent accompany a student will hold students accountable, while at the same time sending a larger, public message that student drinking will not be tolerated. He said the requirement is for the next game until a long-term plan can be devised and said the decision was better than alternatives that included not allowing students to attend Friday's game at all.
The school dance after last Friday's game was canceled. Ritchie said the incident was an embarrassment to the high school. And while the staff typically has a good relationship with students, the incident reflected a deeper issue with teenage drinking, particularly in suburban communities.
You know what else is an embarrassment to the school system?
The dumb-fuck kids you have been turning out!!!
Ritchie said officials were worried that some students may have tried to drive home after drinking, if they had not been caught by school administrators. Ritchie's tough new policy was welcomed by students, parents, and school leaders who said it was an appropriate reaction.
Oh, then I stand corrected, Sig Heil!
Fuck you parents, and fuck your kids! You don't care about state tyranny, then I'm not going to care for you!
WTF are your kids doing DRINKING anyway?!!

President Palin Will Win New Hampshire, Iowa
"Candidates look anew to N.H. and Iowa; Vital turf for both McCain, Obama" by Scott Helman, Globe Staff | September 15, 2008
MANCHESTER, N.H. - Looks like a photo finish on Election Day.
With Iowa leaning to Obama and polls showing the New Hampshire race much closer, both candidates focused over the weekend on the Granite State.
Obama used appearances in Dover and Concord on Friday, as well as a big rally in downtown Manchester on Saturday, to launch a new, aggressive phase of his campaign. Then McCain swooped in yesterday in his Straight Talk Express bus for a pitstop at the Sylvania 300 NASCAR race in Loudon.
What is the CARBON FOOTPRINT on the BUS and RACE?
Please read: The Boston Globe Farts in America's Face
Appearing with Red Sox star Curt Schilling and NASCAR legend Richard Petty, McCain laid a Republican claim to the stock car fans' vote. And many in the rain-soaked crowd cheered him.
In each of the last two elections, Iowa and New Hampshire have been decided by narrow margins: In 2000, George W. Bush beat Al Gore in New Hampshire by 7,000 votes, but lost to Gore by 4,000 votes in Iowa; in 2004, Bush beat Senator John F. Kerry by 10,000 votes in Iowa, but lost to Kerry in New Hampshire by 9,000.
As if those elections were legitimate!!!
See: Stolen Elections (Part 1)
Stolen Elections (Part 2)
Yeah, I have had it with the LYING, REVISIONIST, MYTH-TELLING AmeriKan MSM!!!!
It was the maverick streak in McCain that New Hampshire voters fell in love with eight years ago. They respected his straight-talking manner, his brashness, his style of conservatism that de-emphasized social issues and allowed room for bipartisanship. He held one intimate town hall meeting after another.
Voters ate it up. His 19-point victory over Bush in the 2000 primary boosted his bid for the GOP nomination. This year, after reprising his beloved town hall meetings more than 100 times across New Hampshire, McCain emerged from the primary with a five-point victory. It was enough to establish him the front-runner, and this time he held on.
That's the NARRATIVE MYTH the MSM has decided to spew!
I'm JUST OVER the BORDER, and I THINK RON PAUL was ROBBED!!!!!
See: More On Vote Fraud in New Hampshire
Spaulding said he believes a small but significant percentage of voters who chose Senator Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary - which she won unexpectedly - will vote for McCain in November.
Yeah, the racist, spiteful crowd! See how the MSM is SETTING UP ANOTHER STOLEN ELECTION!!! They just REPEAT and REPEAT LIES, and eventually people accept them as true -- and by the time they are exposed, it is too late!!!!
McCain, though, faces a changed state. New Hampshire has, in the last several years, trended Democratic; in 2006, Democrats swept the US House races and took control of the Legislature. Antiwar sentiment also runs high, notably among the independent voters, who were McCain's base eight years ago but now have expressed misgivings about his vocal support for the war in Iraq.
Yeah, I WONDER HOW HE "WON" the primary when SO MANY OF HIS POSITIONS run CONTRARY to what we want!!!!
One wild card is McCain's running mate, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, whose rugged background and claims of political independence hold visceral appeal to many New Hampshire voters, said Wayne Lesperance, who teaches political science at New England College in Henniker, N.H. But, he said, the discerning electorate is skeptical about the persona she has cultivated, including her questionable claim of being a strict fiscal conservative.
Called SETTING UP a STOLEN ELECTION!!!!
The risk for McCain, Lesperance said, is that voters see him as a different man than he once was, one who now represents convention more than he challenges it. "If the narrative that the Obama folks are pushing [sticks] - that this is same old, same old, more of Bush - that's not the maverick here that folks fell in love with," he said.
Okay, so McCain is going to STEAL NEW HAMPSHIRE AGAIN!!!!
Now it is ON to IOWA!!!
A Des Moines Register poll released yesterday showed Obama leading McCain in Iowa 52 percent to 40 percent. "He'd have to dramatically falter to jeopardize Iowa," said Cary Covington, a political scientist at the University of Iowa.
McCain skipped the state when he ran in 2000, essentially did again this year, and has been an outspoken critic of ethanol subsidies, which bring Iowa millions of dollars. There is an 'X' factor, however: In picking Palin, McCain has reenergized social conservatives, who hold sway in parts of Iowa.
Nick Lantinga, a conservative activist in northwest Iowa, said, "I have no doubt in my mind that Palin's pick has transformed the constituency up here from, 'OK, we'll hold our nose and vote' to 'Holy cow, what can I do?' "
But HOW MANY VOTES does that CHANGE?!!
NOT ONE!!!!
As for TURNOUT, it is OBAMA who gets the CROWDS and NEW VOTERS, so YOU SEE WHAT SHIT the MSM is SHOVELING, right, readers?

Hurricane Ike Intercepts Houston Hail Mary
"At Reliant Park, in southwest Houston, the storm tore chunks from the retractable roof of the football stadium, the park’s president and general manager told The Associated Press. The game between the Texans and the Baltimore Ravens scheduled for Monday night would probably have to be postponed."
What? The FOOTBALL GAME POSTPONED!!??
Call up the TV stations!! Call up the Congress!!! Get the President on the line!!!!
Don't you wish the MSM and the shit-eating Amurkn public cared more about mass-murdering war looting, readers?
I'm WAITING for the CALL!!!! That's how I ended up here!!!
"
HOUSTON — Hurricane Ike barreled across a wide swath of Texas on Saturday, deluging the city of Galveston with a wall of water, flooding coastal towns and leaving extensive damage across metropolitan Houston.
With wind gusts approaching 100 miles per hour, the 600-mile-wide Category 2 hurricane peeled sheets of steel off skyscrapers here, smashed bus shelters and blew out windows, sending shattered glass and debris across the nation’s fourth-largest city, with a population of 2.2 million. There were reports of as many as four people killed, but it could take days to search flooded homes to assess the full impact of the storm, officials said.
How come no one dies in Cuba?
Almost the entire metropolitan area lost power, and authorities said more than three million people were trying to manage in the dark. Utility officials say it could be weeks before power is restored throughout the region.
The magnitude of the power loss and the flooding raised the possibility that several major oil refineries would take more than a week to reopen. As a result, gasoline prices will probably spike around the country, even if oil prices continue to ease on international markets. Overnight, prices rose an average of 5 cents a gallon, to $3.73 for regular gasoline, according to AAA.
Yup, and IT WENT UP 6 cents this morning last I checked!!!!

Question of the Day
Just asking.
Optional questions: Why is this on the front page, and why does it get so much print, sigh?
Can I tell you one thing about football, readers. I'm going to go watch it for socialization purposes later (not proud), but I really hate football. I don't give a shit about who is playing or who wins (if only my friend knew the sacrifices I make for him -- like buying the Boston Globe today so he can have the sports).
There are FAR MORE IMPORTANT THINGS that need attention in this world than some RICHER'S PLAYGROUND of GLADIATORS!

Tom Brady is Not Really Hurt
As for my lack of sympathy, well, I hurt my knee in hoop a month ago and it is just getting worse and worse. Last might was a painful game in more ways than one; the last thing I wanna see is some rich, pampered athlete's woes all over the front pages.
Fuck the god-damned agenda-pushing press!!!!
"Off the field, he's still a star; Pats ticket resale prices fall after Brady injury, but endorsements apt to thrive" by Jonnelle Marte and Brian Steinberg, Globe Correspondents | September 9, 2008
Even though Tom Brady's knee injury will end his football season, the marketing machine that surrounds the star quarterback will likely play on, sponsors and advertising executives said yesterday.
The Patriots' future on and off the football field, they said, is less certain.
Major ticket brokers said resale prices for Patriots games dropped 25 percent even before the news yesterday afternoon that Brady was done for the rest of the season.
Isn't that TICKET SCALPING?
But sponsors are expected continue to support Brady, who racks up $9 million in endorsements annually and whose celebrity status extends beyond the Patriots to his romance with Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen, cameos in feature films, and displays on the covers of GQ and Sports Illustrated.
"It would be more of a concern if it's a rookie who companies are investing in with the hope of the future and they are looking for the star on the rise," said David Schwab, managing director of First Call, a division of Interpublic Group of Cos., which helps pair corporations with celebrities.
Brady's agent, Don Yee, did not return calls from the Globe yesterday, but advertising executives said the three-time Super Bowl winner does not immediately risk losing his sponsorships for gear from Nike, watches by Movado, and Stetson cologne from Coty. That's because most marketers put clauses about injuries into contracts; so long as Brady suffered his in the line of duty, corporations are likely to understand, Schwab said.
No problem with the Asian sweatshops when it comes to the endorsements of el-sporto here, huh?
Yeah, readers, I am tired of saying it, yup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why?! Why should the price of tickets come down? Brady still gonna make the same money!
Wanna see how much a day at the stadium costs, readers?
See: Tom Brady's Building Bonanza
Ultimately, the full impact on the team will depend on how the Patriots fare throughout the season. After all, the team beat the Chiefs 17-10 on Sunday, despite losing Brady in the first quarter.
Yeah, because a WINNING TEAM = $$$$$, right, Pats fans?
That won't even pay for your ticket!!!!
Can you say anal rape, sportos?
"If they begin to lose without Brady in the next few weeks, then you're going to see some fan apathy set in" and people who have tickets will put them up for sale, said Sean Pate, a StubHub spokesman. "I do think the Brady factor will have a visible impact."
You know what? WHO REALLY GIVES A SHIT?!
We got BIGGER PROBLEMS right now than some shit quarterback, you fucking Zionist shit-throwers!!!!!!!!!!!
-- more--"
How about FRONT-PAGING the MASS-MURDER, TORTURE and LAW-BREAKING SPYING and LIES of this government, MSM, how about that?!
Oh, yeah, you are their P.R. AGENTS and LYING MOUTHPIECES, yeah, sorry, forgot for a minute.
That's why I'M HERE RAGING, in fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Front Page of the Boston Globe
Isn't there a section for this shit?
Why are the wars on the inside, and why are the reports such dog shit??
"Fans dejected over loss of Brady for season

Minimal stressing of knee may mean faster recovery for Brady"
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will probably be out of action at least six to nine months after suffering a season-ending knee injury Sunday, according to orthopedic surgeons, but the good news is that quarterbacks typically return to pre-injury form more quickly than other athletes.

The Day the World Came to an End in Boston
Yeah, it is front page news all right.
"Accepted, dreaded part of the game; Knee injury knocks out Brady; Patriots soldier on to victory"
It is not like I want anyone in this world to be hurt, readers; however, I object to the agenda-pushing and glamorization of sports in the war-promoting War Dailies.
And look at the terminology the author chose "soldier on." With all the lying, death, and destruction surrounding war, why is the lying war daily ignoring wars and covering so much sports (front page)?
Because that is the big question on the FRONT PAGE: Can the Pats win without Brady?
Yeah, otherwise you might not get rich (sigh in disgust): The Boston Globe Says Sitting on Your Ass is Worth It
Here's your kicker (pun intended).
I go to the the website to pull down the articles I paid for, and the lead in the corner is this:
"2008 MTV VMAs onstage highlights and wins
Can you effin believe it?
No wonder I despise the scitte sheet known as the Boston Globe.
Wanna sniff, America?
I just wasted a dollar you know, and I am not proud.
I thus present myself before in my honest, ashamed, yet truthful fashion.
The Boston Globe Says Sitting on Your Ass is Worth It
Sort of gives you an idea of where the propaganda is coming from, right. The Boston Globe calls it an idea!
"The secret benefits of fandom; It's not just psychological: When your favorite team wins a game, you may actually profit" by Drake Bennett | September 7, 2008
A few scholars have started to suggest that there may indeed be another kind of benefit from big-time sports. There's a catch, though: the team has to be good. In a forthcoming paper, economist Michael Davis and the psychologist Christian End say that having a winning NFL football team increases the incomes of the people who live and work in its hometown by as much as $120 a year. And while the study doesn't identify exactly what causes the boost, the authors point to psychological literature suggesting that winning fans are at once harder workers and bigger spenders. In short, buoyed by the team's success, we work longer hours, take bigger risks, and shop more avidly, all of which helps the local economy.
Is it worth it, Amurkn? For $2 a week IF you have a ball team?
How much taxpayer $$$ was doled out to build that stadium of toys for richer playboys?
Also see: Tom Brady's Building Bonanza for the cost of going to one of the gladiatorial contests.
"This collective mass of people in a good mood, that is something that could really bolster the economy," says End, an assistant professor of psychology at Xavier University.
Ever notice if it is a few scientists or experts that question 9/11 or the global warming hoax, they aren't worthy of commentary or are derided. But a couple of psych nutties selling bullshit is just fine.
And that mood he is talking about? Also leads to wars!
A large body of psychological research suggests that the kind of psychological changes seen in fans after a victory could translate into positive behavior. More self-confident people tend generally to do better at life: they get better grades, make more money, have more friends, even live longer.
So we have gone from a "few" scholars to a "large" body now, huh? Excuse me, I gott put my waders on.
And the self-confidence doesn't have to be earned to make a difference. Shelley Taylor, a UCLA psychologist, has found that having outright illusions about one's abilities, and about the amount of control one has over the events in one's life, makes people happier, harder working, and more successful at whatever they put their minds to.
Yup, you can HAVE ILLUSIONS and they are GOOD!!!!
Isn't that how we GOT INTO IRAQ, America?! By BELIEVING ILLUSIONS and LIES!?
But that is a GOOD THING, according to knowledgable shrinks and the agenda-pushing MSM!!!! Is it really necessary for me to comment anymore?
The finding was evidence that all the psychic benefits of winning translate into a very modest but measurable economic boost. Fired up by their team, people are working just a little harder and longer; inflated with borrowed confidence, they are charming bosses and earning raises. And even if the effect lasts only a few days, or a week, more wins means more productive weeks.
"To be successful, you have to take some risks, you have to sell yourself," says Hirt.
Few, large, finding (singular), whatever.
And isn't that what Phil Gramm said? The whole economy is "psychological," meaning "don't mind as we fleece you and rape you, " America!
And there is that "sell" yourself shit again. Why I don't like AmeriKan culture right now.
Psychologists have long known that, win or lose, rooting for a team has its benefits. Work by Daniel Wann, a psychologist at Murray State, has found that fans of a local team tend to be happier than nonfans (and happier, too, than fans of non-local teams) - less prone to depression, anger, and stress.
The reason, he argues, is simple: being a fan automatically places a person in a community, giving him people to talk to, something to talk to them about, and events at which to do it. The bond can be a first step toward a deeper friendship, or it can simply lend a comforting sense of belonging when, say, a Bruins fan walks down the street and sees someone wearing a Bruins cap.
But don't PROTEST AGAINST WARS or TYRANNY or anything, right?
These "newspapers" are unbelievable!!!
Maybe that's something to remember today, in the moments just after the final whistle. If the Patriots win, it might mean a few extra dollars for you.
Yeah, if I BET THE GAME RIGHT, that's about the only $$ I'll see!!!!
And I'M NOT GAMBLING THIS YEAR!!!!
And if they lose, you can content yourself with the knowledge that the four hours you just spent in front of the television, eating tortilla chips, drinking beer, cursing the officiating, and taking in the truck ads you'll be watching for the rest of the season - those were good for you.
Does that just make you want to puke or what?
Yup, just SIT ON YOUR ASS, AmeriKa, while the fucking country and world fall apart because of the criminal fucks of government, industry, and their mass media purveyors of propagandistic shit here!!!!!
--more--"
Yeah, never mind that HAND IN YOUR BACK POCKET as you swill down Sunday shit, 'murka!!!!
How big government helps the economy take off
Yeah, who cares about the wars, looting, and lies.
We got FOOTBALL to watch!!!!
:-(
Update:
Looks like the home-town team is gonna be a loser this year.
For Number 12, a gilded age
Well, not anymore. Start emptying your wallets, Pats fans!!!
Nightmare come true
