Dome Pondering Import - "Last Week Tonight With John Oliver"

It's no secret that I am very critical of top Division I NCAA athletics. I find the hypocirsy and the ethical culture of the bigger schools and their programs - heck, the entire NCAA governance - at this level to completely out of hand. Again, hypocrisy is the only word to truly describe it. 

With the NCAA tournament beginning, all of America gears up again for the tournament that drives gambling, business, sponsorship, and revenue for just about everyone except for those playing and providing the games in a totally screwed up system. One big sham I tell ya! 

Though, I am not completely all for paying college athletes outright, I am very much in agreement with John Oliver's latest twenty-minute monologue on the NCAA's hypocrisy and it's system. Also, the rant is epic. Absolutely epic. Give it a listen as it is completely eye opening and very funny.

Walz gets the nod here not because of an endorsement, but because I thought he did a great job entering the race this week. And also, it's good to finally get both tickets set as we steamroll to Election Day.  3. Presidential Debate - Well, we've got the second one locked in for September 10th. Just when you thought there was no point in tuning into debates (especially after the last one), Trump vs. Kamala has the makings of a one-time knock-down drag out).  3 Down 1. F

Quick Ponder: You're a Hero, You're a Villain

You're the hero in someone's life. You're also the villain in someone's life. Likely without knowing it.
