Kyrie Irving is back in town. He needs to start making sense!

Kyrie Irving is back talking to the media after being handed a $25,000 fine for not doing so.  But he's still not making a lot of sense. As I wrote earlier, Kyrie only plays with the media when it suits him, and apparently avoiding further penalties suits him just fine. Here is some of his latest gibberish, which as usual, makes little sense (per FoxNews' Paulina Dedaj):

Irving’s message was the same on Monday, but he explained his hesitation to talk with reporters.

"It's really just about how I felt about the mistreatment of certain artists when we get to a certain platform of when we make decisions within our lives to have full control and ownership ... We want to perform in a secure and protected space," he said.

There is no such thing as a "secure and protected space" - certainly not for "certain artists" that love to be in the spotlight, but only when it works for them. For movie stars, rock stars - and NBA superstars - that light is on all the time.

 As one of the "pawns" mentioned in Irving's  shaky rhetoric, I await what occurs this evening when Kyrie's Brooklyn Nets come to Boston. My guess is that he will interpret most media questions as "mistreatment" and spew quasi-proverbs that even he can not understand - let alone us pawns. I welcomed his arrival to Boston - was optimistic about his role here - and had few negative slants when he left Beantown. That changed recently. He needs to start making sense!

Rules of survival: When search-and-rescue turns into body recovery

By
 How the Hell did this happen? Two days after 19-year-old Emily Sotelo was supposedly dropped off in Franconia Notch (NH) at roughly 5:00 AM ET, Sunday, November 20, 2022 by her mother, to hike several mountains alone, the search continues for the young lady. Photo by Linda Lane The information from news agencies indicated that Emily started hiking the trails while it was still dark. She was supposedly wearing only sneakers, a coat and workout pants. I can persona;ly attest that the weather in the area was very cold with high wind speeds, and gaining elevation on the trails would only add to the horrendous conditions. Ms. Sotelo was reportedly a seasoned hiker, but had little or no experience hiking in winter. At the peaks, temperatures on that Sunday dropped to zero degrees with a wind chill of minus-30 degrees. It is beyond my comprehension to imagine a hiker-of-experience tackling that kind of travel - in extreme weather - with only basic clothes and few (or no) supplies. I have hik

As a 16-year old , he quickly transitioned from: Minor thefts and breaking into homes To: Taunting and threatening a father and his two daughters as an unseen
