I haven’t been a big fan of the nfl since Earl Campbell quit playing for the Houston Oilers. \u00a0I have always enjoyed the highlights, kept tabs of the former Okie State players and I watched the super bowl commercials. \u00a0I don’t own any nfl jerseys, tshirts, caps or other paraphernalia that they sell. \u00a0I have not been a big supporter–I just really didn’t care. \u00a0Same with the nba. \u00a0Simply put, I would rather watch college sports.<\/p>\n
I do not disagree with what the POTUS said. \u00a0However, I do think that he could have said it more “presidential”. \u00a0It sounded more like something that would come out of my mouth. \u00a0But, he isn’t wrong. \u00a0I enjoyed watching the Brandon Tatum video on Facebook. \u00a0That dude said it as good as any. \u00a0And of course, Donnie Baker’s take on this whole kneeling crap is pretty much spot on. \u00a0 \u00a0There is only one way to make a statement, if that is your goal, with the nfl. \u00a0Don’t watch it. \u00a0Don’t buy their crap. \u00a0State Law.<\/p>\n
Sunday evening, I made a quick trip to OKC to pick up kid’s state fair entries. \u00a0Made it home about 11 pm. \u00a0Then, Monday afternoon, I made a quick dash to Tulsa to take these entries over there. \u00a0Got home sometime after 11 pm. \u00a0Then I left Shattuck with a suburban on Tuesday morning before 6 am to go to Enid for COLT conference. \u00a0I haven’t been anywhere cool but I’ve logged some miles. \u00a0And this nfl crap has clogged up the XM radio talk waves that I normally like to listen to while driving.<\/p>\n
Here’s what I know. \u00a0These kids that I deal with won’t kneel during the national anthem. \u00a0I’m not worried about this “next generation”. \u00a0I actually think that they might be better than my generation. \u00a0I hope and pray that they are. \u00a0Even though they are bombarded with SO MUCH media. \u00a0These kids have a filter and know what is right and what is wrong. \u00a0All of you that read this know what I mean. \u00a0When I am bragging on my kids\/students\/friends, I am talking about yours as well. \u00a0You know what I mean. \u00a0I sat with an ag teacher today at Five Guys burgers in Enid. \u00a0The manager came out to tell us how well behaved our group of kids were. \u00a0She had heard of Shattuck and knew that Balko was near Slapout. \u00a0But, she liked our kids. \u00a0People, when they are wearing blue & gold or green & white, they do it right. \u00a0And regardless of what these athletes are paid, they have forgotten what is right or they didn’t learn it right in the first place.<\/p>\n
I may have very well have hauled six future millionaires today. \u00a0A future CEO, comedian, welder, designer, extreme veterinarian and entrepreneur. \u00a0And this comedian or extreme vet could be big time. \u00a0No matter what and without argument, I was associated with more class, honor and respect than the entire nfl has to offer. \u00a0And for that matter, I hope there is a future politician in the crew. \u00a0Somebody has to fix this crap.<\/p>\n
You go ahead and watch your pro teams. \u00a0I’m good without them. \u00a0Have a good one and a better tomorrow. \u00a0I’m going to.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
p.s. \u00a0The ground is wet, the turnips are jumping out of the ground, the weather is cool, mama made tater soup and I ain’t had any bourbon since the month of May. \u00a0I’ve been well behaved. \u00a0Mr. Heshelman, I feel a toast coming in the near future.<\/p>\n
