In my opinion, the Raiders should’ve went for the FG instead of going for either better field position for a TD or a FG which ended up the Raiders coughing up the ball. Sure the Raiders snuffed a FG not long ago, but FG kickers usually don’t flub a FG back to back. Bad play calling from someone either in the booth or on the field.

That’s the risk one might have to take no matter the outcome. First time a student disrupts class, that student is removed from the class, while put on notice that any further disruptions of the class will result in being removed from the Student Body. Of course, parent(s)/guardian(s) will be notified immediately of both the violation(s) and disciplinary action(s).

Raiders Head Coach, Antonio Pierce, just might be the next coach to be fired. Missed FG and a fumble did the Raiders in for their 8th straight loss this season. At one brief moment, the Raiders led the game over the Chiefs with the score being Raiders 17 and Chiefs 16. Then Chiefs score with a FG…Raiders 17 and Chiefs 19, and that’s where the score stayed. Opportunity #1 for the Raiders to go ahead and possibly win the game and end their losing streak: >Raiders missed a FG because the kicker dragged his foot on the grass causing the ball to go wide!! Opportunity #2 for the Raiders to go ahead and possibly win the game and end their losing streak: >Raiders FUMBLE the ball on the Chiefs 32 yard line with 11 seconds remaining in the game. Final Score Raiders 17 and Chiefs 19. Raiders are their worse enemy!! Instead of going to do a FG with 15 seconds remaining at the Chiefs 32 yard line, the Raiders opt to go on 3rd down and FUMBLE the ball!! A Raider win would’ve possibly been the upset of the season. Unfortunately, the Raiders can’t get out of their own way whenever it counts!!

As with anything, if one is forced, the person in question will begin to hate the MA. Give that person what they want, and for cause, let them go. The sooner the better for all concerned.

Anything after Sandan!! Anything before that was an unnerving grind for me!! Please don’t misunderstand me, I loved everything to the Nth degree during those times. I’d never trade those years for anything!! Nonetheless, even to this day I’m ashamed of the mind set that I laboriously grinded through. Why?? I despise rank chasing because rank, imho, is not why anyone should be on the floor. Seeking knowledge and experience through improving one’s MA betterment and integrity is far more noble than chasing rank, and that’s exactly what I did…I chased rank; it consumed me!! I chased rank like some obsessed fiend. Yet, right after I earned my Sandan, I completely surrendered my worthless mind set of chasing rank. I was only 20 years old when I earned my Sandan. I chased after earning my Sandan because I believed that once I earned my Sandan, I could open my own dojo…which is exactly what I did despite anything else. I knew way back as a JBB that all I wanted to do was to teach and own my own dojo. I was a JBB for 5 long grueling years, however, in my twisted mind, I believed that I needed to earn my Sandan at any cost and at any risk. So, I would only want to relive those years after I earned my Sandan, and not before.

I thought that the Tag-Team competition was a very interesting concept. I’d love to see it in a real tournament.

The coach isn’t always at fault!! The head coach answers to those who are in a higher pay rate. The motto of WE WIN TOGETHER AND WE LOSE TOGETHER sounds good until accountability is required.

Congratulations, JazzKicker; well deserved!!

On another note… The Raiders, my wife’s favorite team of all, lost to the Broncos at home 29-19, their 7th straight loss, which will soon be 8 straight losses when they play against the hosting Chiefs. Raiders are saying after their most disappointing loss that they’re dealing with QB uncertainty after losing Minshew with a season-ending collarbone injury. Wait!! Raiders signed Minshew to a 2-year contract that I believe that the Raiders wasted a lot of money. Minshew has not been the diamond QB, just like Prescott. First Raiders play yesterday against the Broncos, Minshew drops the football, which to me was an omen of how that game was going to end…with another loss!! Get rid of Minshew!! Yes, he’s out for the rest of the season, but either trade him or make him the 3rd string QB. Minshew is not the only problem!! Perhaps the Raiders Head Coach needs to be fired!! Something’s seriously wrong with the Raiders because I don’t believe that the Raiders are that bad of a team!! Raiders stall badly in the Red Zone consistently!! Poor Raiders!! On the Cowboys… Cowboys need to fired McCarthy and hire Belichick!! Problem with that is that Belichick wants to be both the Head Coach AND the GM. Jones has been the GM of the Cowboys ever since he bought the Cowboys, and I don’t see Jones relinquishing the GM spot to anyone, including Belichick!! Oh yeah, fire Dak!! That won’t happen because Jones loves him!! Jones must love losing more than winning. What’s a NFL team have to do??

Yes, very happy to see the Knights come alive in the 2nd quarter with those 5 goals on the ice to beat the Canadians 6-2. Crosby is such a great player overall. Yes, big milestone for the future HOFer. GO KNIGHTS!!

Poor bird!! MLB, for good reasons, will shut the game down whenever there’s lightning in the area!! But, snow, sure let’s keep playing as though it’s the NFL.

No. I’m still Type 1 diabetic. But my numbers are decreasing/diminishing slowly. Returning back to being a Pre-Diabetic is promising according to my doctors.

I do remember the Sleet Bowl between the Cowboys VS Dolphins back in ‘93. Lett’s tried but in those conditions I can’t blame him for the Dolphin win. You list some CRAZY SNOW CONDITION games that still blow my mind!! I remember that Tuck Game…what a player(s)/teams won’t do to win a game. I can remember that there have been about half-a-dozen MLB games games that have been played during a snowstorm!! Crazy pro players…one and all!

That game was insane!! Saw one fan wearing only shorts…YIKES!! I was impressed how the grounds crew staff kept the field so orderly with leaf blowers!! I remember the Snowball game in 2017 with the Colts and Bills. 17 inches of snow…give me a beak!! Glad to see Browns with the win because they’re struggling a lot and my heart goes out to the teams that have the job of being the spoiler team for the top teams. Just gotta love the underdog!! GO COWBOYS (Even though they are out of the playoffs)

So far, I found myself very optimistic over how my Golden Knights have preformed so far this season. Great to see that the Knights are in first place in the Pacific Division with their having a 12-6. The Knights have edged in front of the Flames who have edged past Kings and Oilers respectively. I do need to keep an eye on the Canucks because they can be quite alarming at times and play that spoiler team at the wrong time. It’s early in the season but my hope for the Knights this season a high in anticipation. GO KNIGHTS!!
