And There’s McDonald’s All-American Fallout

Bronny James is considering USC, Oregon and Ohio State. He is also the son of LeBron James.

But it is highly debatable whether he deserved to be named to the McDonald’s All-American game today.

Consider this: James is a four-star recruit and ranked No. 43 nationally by Rivals.

Caleb Foster, who plays at league-rival Notre Dame High School, is a five-star and ranked No. 18 nationally. He signed with Duke. He didn’t get named to the team.

Four-star Dusty Stromer, also at Notre Dame, is ranked No. 37. He has committed to Gonzaga. He didn’t get named to the team.

Obviously, ESPN and McDonald’s know the ratings will be better with James playing.

  2. Notice how all the ‘Wolf-clicks’ disappear when he shifts from football to basketball commentary, it is as if he was speaking English and then suddenly turned to Russian

  3. Yes, it will get better ratings with Bronny in there and better ratings brings more money. Money rules in this world. Money talks….everything else walks.

    1. Although, I must confess that I don’t follow high school basketball very closely, I question how good Bronny is. One way to find out how good a player is is to check out what schools are offering him a scholarship. As of now, the only big schools that are offering him are Ohio State, Memphis and USC.

    I’m in love with you.
    Your humor turns me on.
    The night we met I knew I needed you so.
    And if I had the chance I’d never let you go.
    So won’t you say you love me

    1. Well, I suppose they could’ve gone with LilBron. But they went with Bronny instead, Ed.

      It’s better than changing your name to World Peace or Freedom. Though their hearts were in the right place.

  7. Maybe the spot was open for his position. I do assume he has some talent. I chalk it up to his dribbling skills. And since I don’t care, that’s all I can say except Ed, Bronny isn’t a horse name, it’s a paper towel.

  8. “Earth’s inner core may have temporarily stopped rotating relative to the mantle and surface, researchers report in the January 23 Nature Geoscience. Now, the direction of the inner core’s rotation may be reversing — part of what could be a roughly 70-year-long cycle that may influence the length of Earth’s days and its magnetic field — though some researchers are skeptical.”
    Oh, swell. Just when I was getting used to the current magnetic field.

      1. “…may influence the length of Earth’s days…” is what scares me
        As if work doesn’t already take up too much of my time, now I have to stay longer?…

        What also scares me are the Dey Youngs of the world with the current one writing a love letter to Michael. It makes me glad I am incognito, invisible, basically a nobody,
        whereas MG is the Prince of the Scott Wolf Blog and consequently is known throughout Los Angeles to the San Berdo hinterlands and all the way to the sacred islands of Hawaii

      2. Yeah, his claim that this is the Scott Wolf Inside USC blog starring So Cal & Gabby was way off.

        If this were Cheers, Michael would be Sam, I would be Norm and Gabby would be Cliff….merely supporting cast to Michael’s lead. We get a few good lines in here & there, but “Sam” gets the spotlight & the ladies! (insert howling wolf here)

    1. Elon (Musk) is finally on to something there–
      incorporate environmental, social and governance (interests)

      –Great in theory especially in ‘bringing into the fold’ ‘environmental interests which are substantially under-funded despite earth’s cries

      But it’s been tried before, the United Nations was our best stab at uniting all the world’s great nations. Even a worldwide common cause, the 2020s Pandemic could not unite countries.

      Governments– It is difficult enough running your own country without worrying about your neighboring countries. Besides, you don’t have enough money to properly handle your own people let alone others.

      But the theme of ‘United We Stand’ is still around looking for some help

  11. Musk trying to “own” the libs while ignoring the fact he’s the first person in human history to lose $200 billion in wealth. But Elizabeth “Pocohontas” is crazy.

    2. They were in a half dozen unsecured locations! There’s no telling who & how many had access to them and how much they paid for that access. Joe is as corrupt as they come.

      The folks who “say” they’re trying to save the country are fucking stupid and/or corrupt. You say “Hunter apparently shared”….. well, that’s where things will stand unless Jim Jordan [who is another fake] demands that State and DOJ turn over all documents relating to the matters discussed in Hunter’s email. He needs to prove that Hunter’s email tracks a classified document word for word! Once that has been proven Joe Biden and Hunter Biden are toast.
      The fact the repubs aren’t doing this as of right now is further proof they aren’t worth shit. All they want to do is tweet about how the email “appears” to show access to classified documents without actually proving it.
      Pass it along, brother.

  16. If this is an example of the level of off season columns then I think we have a front row example of what is known as ‘cognitive decline’.

    So sad.

      3. So Cal —
        As to some of your earlier replies — not much will come of the papers being “discovered” by Biden’s own attorneys —- this is a cleanup operation. But I can guarantee you there is classified information on Hunter’s laptop. All the repubs need do is identify the emails on the laptop that contain information relating to government discussions on the subject of energy production in Ukraine and match those up with classified documents [obtained through congressional subpoenas] and…voila!
        Fun Note: The statutes relating to the use of such documents for personal gain contain words like “death penalty.”

      4. You mean the laptop some want to pretend has been hacked and that Hunter never would have taken to a shop with incriminating evidence on it. You know, because drug addicts never do things without much thought & consideration.

        Speaking of which, with all of this renewed talk about gun control, I want to know when a certain someone is going to be charged for lying on his ATF Form 4473. It’s a felony to do so.

      5. You should also be concerned that a certain someone is going to “be helped” into using the weapon purchased on himself at some point —that’s the way this bunch ends investigations…
