Another Few Days of Covid-19, American Football and Political Turmoil

 

Wed.-Sun., January 13-17, 2021

Another week of mostly self-imposed home confinement was punctuated by some American football news and continuing, non-stop discussions of the political turmoil that is rampant in the USA these days.

Our resident football equipment
expert, son Michael, says that some
of these years are not correct

The L'Hospitalet Pioners won again!

This is the Spanish DII (Serie B) club that I am helping as their Analytics Coach this season.

Saturday's win puts the
Pioners at 2-0 on the season

The current Spanish DII Central-South
and Eastern Conference standings

Next up for the Pioners (2-0) is a HUGE Eastern Conference game on January 30th against the also 2-Valencia Giants.

Four NFL Divisional Playoff
games were also on tap
this weekend

This was the only one
of interest in our house

Too much Rodgers,
not enough Donald

Exciting news for the
Varese Skorpions on Sunday

New Head Coach Nick Holt
and his wife Julie arrived
in Italy on Sunday!

The traditional three hour
"Welcome to the Skorpions" lasagna lunch
at the Petrillo home was a MUST!

In sad news from San Diego,
Jack Murphy Stadium was torn down

We enjoyed many a Holiday Bowls,
Padres and Chargers games there
over the years

Set to replace it in time for the 2022 football season will be a smaller but adequate 35,000 seat stadium built for San Diego State Aztec football.

In comparison, "The Murph" held 70,500 fans 

In news from the net . . .

100% agree

Thankful for the little things in life

SO true

Proud to have active library cards in Sweden (Hässleholm and Upplands-Väsby), Switzerland (Thun), France (Lyon), Spain (Murcia and Arganda del Rey), Italy (Venegono Superiore and Varese) as well as in Camarillo, California, USA!

Not even the old Schoolhouse Rock!
series can explain what's going on

Political Logic 2021 style

Read and understand the
Constitution before invoking it

But do you really want to unite
with neo-nazis and racist factions?

A lot of this the last two weeks

True from BOTH sides

Where are we headed?

Loyalty is just a word to some

And five years later,
why yes, yes you are Senator
