HERE'S ONE FINGER POINTED AT VCU FOR CARMAX DIFFERENCES

  WHAT DO I KNOW? I’M JUST A KID, BUT … While the VCU president might deserve a tidy boost in salary,  why then couldn’t the school come up with the, by comparison,  peanut money promised a year ago to resolve its partnership  with the Flying Squirrels to use new CarMax Park? Everything  went downhill from there, leading to irreconcilable differences  between the local baseball team on one hand ... and the city, the  group entrusted with formation of the faltering Diamond  District and VCU – not to mention assorted high-profile  personalities – on the other … Now, the airborne rodents have  taken their grievances to court in what appears to be a solid  case … that figures to cost the taxpayers even more money.  Way to go Richmond … yet another fine mess by your elected  officials in action. HOW EXPLAIN an ongoing reluctance to give  TONY  ELLIOTT  and his Virginia, University of, football team little  m...

MANU FANS NO LONGER PATIENT ... CARRICK MUST GO

  This is Part 2 of a two-part series dealing with the growing mess that has developed in big-time futbol … and how it recently effected a franchise that has been going in the wrong direction.

Naturally, there have been all kinds of excuses for the overall downturn in fortunes since legendary  SIR ALEX FERGUSON  retired in 2014 … like hiring a bunch of highly-regarded replacements who simply weren’t able to create anywhere near his crazy streak of success -- 13 EPL titles...

I’m not talking about the players, who would appear most likely to be corrupted and, thereby, control the outcome of games to the satisfaction of the   wise guys on behalf of the betting public. Some undoubtedly have, the cynic of longstanding said.  Nor do I mean game officials – although curious results difficult to explain by any other way have become more and more prevalent. No, would you believe no-name people who sit in front of large TV-like monitors, hidden from sight usually miles away from the game site, and make decisions that could be worth millions of dollars, pounds, lire, pesos, etc., to millions of gamblers around the world?
