since I watched a nfl game, I don&#8217;t remember the last time that I watched an nba game and I didn&#8217;t watch a mlb game last year or this year.\u00a0 I do watch highlights.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0This morning, I read an interview with Brett Favre.\u00a0 He stated that he felt like &#8220;fewer people were watching professional football because there were too many politics involved.&#8221;\u00a0 \u00a0Hunh?\u00a0 No $h!t.!!\u00a0 The kneeling during the national anthem, the blm crap, whining about this or that&#8230;..\u00a0 \u00a0shut up and play.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0As a stock show junkie, one has to wonder if the current state of stock shows will affect the numbers that participate in years to come.\u00a0 There is no doubt that the top end consumer will always be there.\u00a0 But we need to remember that the general population doesn&#8217;t deal with that top end market.\u00a0 Most of the world shops at amazon and wal-mart.\u00a0 Well, and obviously Dollar General as those stores are popping up EVERYWHERE!!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0On the other hand, I still watch college sports.\u00a0 Some of that political crap has trickled down into the ncaa sports.\u00a0 But not near as bad.\u00a0 Tuesday evening, I came in from doing chores.\u00a0 As chores don&#8217;t take as long anymore and it was too windy to do much outside, I was bored, so I flipped on the tv.\u00a0 Not much on normal tv so I turned on espn+.\u00a0 I&#8217;m glad that I did.\u00a0 Texas Tech was playing baseball.\u00a0 Former student Brendan Girton was making his first start as a freshman pitcher for the #8 ranked Red Raiders.\u00a0 Shattuck schools took the baseball and softball team to Lubbock to watch Brendan make his first start.\u00a0 This was cool.\u00a0 The announcers talked about the small hometown from which Girton hailed.\u00a0 The multiple state championships that this small school has won.\u00a0 And how cool was it to have that many people there supporting him.\u00a0 Oh, and they threw in the fact that Shattuck is so small that it doesn&#8217;t even have a stop light in it.\u00a0 I guess it&#8217;s a good thing that the announcers didn&#8217;t know that our entire county does NOT have a stop light.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Better yet, on Wednesday the superintendent received an e-mail from a Texas Tech fan that sat behind the Shattuck kids at the game.\u00a0 He was a police chief from some town in the greater Lubbock area.\u00a0 The letter was very positive about how impressed they were with the behavior of the Shattuck students and how much fun the kids had while watching their friend play ball.\u00a0 \u00a0It also included how great it would be to be young again.\u00a0 The email congratulated the community, school and parents for doing a great job of raising young people.\u00a0 How cool is that?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0We are wrapping up all of the semen sales from last week.\u00a0 There were 4 sales with quite a few lots.\u00a0
