It broke the sound barrier on the Gowanus and stopped traffic on the Belt. Those hearing the news on radio gnashed their teeth in anguish, rubbed their hands raw in concern.<\/p>\n<p>This week, Kyrie Irving, a first-class pain in the NBA\u2019s keister the past few seasons, had declared that this season, when he is due to be paid $33 million, he will not \u2014 repeat, not \u2014 speak with or to the media until he sees fit.<\/p>\n<p>One small problem for Irving: Who gives a damn?<\/p>\n<p>In a further insult to the good senses, the NBA fined Irving $25,000 for his unavailability. But if he doesn\u2019t want to speak with us, why should we care?<\/p>\n<p>Most don\u2019t give rat\u2019s retina if he speaks to the media or to the nearest wall. Last year, with player misconduct, selfishness and antisocial behavior again in full flower \u2014 but this in the throes of a pandemic that cost tens of thousands their lives or jobs \u2014 produced the least fan interest in the NBA since the Lakers were named for environs of Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<p>Has Irving no sense of the world beyond himself?<\/p>\n<p>If there\u2019s one thing we learned this year, it\u2019s how to live without. No Kyrie quotes? It\u2019ll be a burden, sure, but we\u2019ll struggle through it. It\u2019s not like we\u2019ve again run out of toilet paper.<\/p>\n<p>So many of these guys just don\u2019t get it. Perhaps Adam Silver can explain it to them.<\/p>\n<p>Silver and team owners found out the hard way that pandering and selling out to a sweet-sounding socio-political Marxist, democracy-destructive con such as Black Lives Matter was a case of blind, wishful, reckless trust. And if you don\u2019t know by now that BLM is and was a massive, media-reliant con it\u2019s because you don\u2019t want to know.<\/p>\n<p>The Black Lives Matter movement, as demonstrated by its steady refusal, among other mindlessly destructive acts, to repudiate the slaughter of young black urban males by young black urban men \u2014 by the thousands \u2014 served conspicuous daily notice that black lives, like looted and burned black businesses, don\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<p>And Silver and the NBA\u2019s team owners now recognize that it threw in with a con, as top to bottom, beginning to end, the NBA told all non-black viewers that they\u2019re racists \u2014 and had better mend their evil ways.<\/p>\n<p>Now Silver wants to get back to basketball and with complaining players changing places in exchange for added tens of millions of dollars at a time when so many have, one way or another, t<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed out, it may be too late. The NBA laid its cards on the table and now it wants a new deal?<\/p>\n<p>One could see where the NBA was headed 13 months ago, after former Rockets GM and current 76ers president Daryl Morey openly expressed his support for pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong, then, as now, under the totalitarian rule of Communist China.<\/p>\n<p>The NBA, with hundreds of millions at stake in China \u2014 much of it dependent on the toil of slave-wagers \u2014 freaked out, made it known that Morey spoke only for himself.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019re scoring at home, the NBA had made it conspicuously clear that it threw its full support behind a rabidly anti-American American Marxist movement but assiduously avoided any support for a pro-democracy NBA GM.<\/p>\n<p>And so it came as a great calamity that Irving, from life on his one-way street including millions in Nike made-in-China endorsements, has determined not to speak to the media until further notice. Apparently he believes all fans are unconditional NBA fans despite recent ample proof to the contrary.<\/p>\n<p>Great! I can hardly wait to hear what he doesn\u2019t have to say.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jets_Giants_broadcasts_unfunny_comedy_of_errors\"><\/span>Jets, Giants broadcasts unfunny comedy of errors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The start of CBS\u2019s Raiders-Jets <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> Sunday made a great bookend to its impossible ending.<\/p>\n<p>At the start, analyst Adam Archuleta\u2019s \u201cKeys\u201d to a Raiders\u2019 win included. \u201cNo penalties or turnovers.\u201d Why that was peculiar to the Raiders, but not the Jets and 30 other teams never came up.<\/p>\n<p>Early, a graphic showed that although 0-11, the Jets had scored in their last five first possessions. That became six when Sam Darnold threw a TD pass.<\/p>\n<p>Archuleta: \u201cThe Jets needed that. They\u2019ve had a slow-starting offense.\u201d Good grief!<\/p>\n<p>The ending, of course, was from Planet Preposterous. My lingering question is why didn\u2019t all Jets DBs play far enough behind all receivers to at least commit intentional pass interference?<\/p>\n<p>Next, Giants-Seahawks on Fox. After Fox showed a sideline shot of Giants\u2019 QB Daniel Jones, out with an injury, analyst and MJT (Moose Johnston Tech) grad Mark Schlereth: \u201cYeah, they need him down the stretch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What stretch? The Giants were 4-7, playing their 12th game. This was the stretch!<\/p>\n<p>Late in the third quarter, Russell Wilson was sacked. Schlereth said it was caused by the Giants\u2019 zone defense, which had every receiver blanketed. The replay, however, showed at least one receiver wide open, but Russell fell before a strong rush.<\/p>\n<p>But, again, these are experts, so believe what you\u2019re told, ignore what you see.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"OBJ_plays_the_blame_game\"><\/span>OBJ plays the blame game<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>AT 3-5 and near the end of a season of disorder, LSU has \u201cvoluntarily\u201d removed itself from any bowl consideration to try to preempt NCAA charges of payola to players and other violations.
