I put myself as team owner when I think about some of these guys and when I do that with Irving I would never have allowed him to be on my team. I\u2019m big on good character guys who are also good teams guys. Irving is the opposite of all that. And I don\u2019t think he makes teammates better, which is key for me. I wouldn\u2019t want to be near Irving. His anti-vaccine stance and now his retweet of the anti-Semitic movie \u201cHebrews to Negroes: Wake up Black America\u201d caused a backlash so severe he should be punished by the NBA, but so far hasn\u2019t been. Now, according to a story I just read, he has refused to admit to holding anti-Semitic beliefs, refused to say the Holocaust happened and cast himself as the victim. I would like to know how Irvin has come to have these strange and hurtful views he has. But I know one thing; I would not have him on my team. And it\u2019s doubtful any other NBA team would make a deal to trade for him. He\u2019s too toxic. The situation with the Nets is terrible. Kevin Durand asked to be traded in the off-season, coach Steve Nash was just fired, and the promise of the Nets being a super team has melted like plastic on a bonfire. Oh yeah, the Nets now have Ben Simmons, a once upon a time super star who refuses to take a jump shot because he\u2019s afraid he can\u2019t make it. The Nets don\u2019t need a new coach they need a psychiatrist\u2026. Speaking of psychiatrists, how about those Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers? \u00a0I want to make this clear, Rodgers is a future Hall of Fame guy and if I had a vote he would get mine. But he also is a Hall of Shame guy.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t realize until the last two years what a jerk he is. The Packers are 3-5 in the NFC North tied for second behind the Vikings, who are 6-1. Green Bay is a mess. They have young receives who have been getting tongue-lashes from Rodgers for not being good. I find it kind of funny that Rodgers and Tom Brady with the Bucs are both struggling and they both are two of the best quarterbacks to ever grace an NFL football field. Brady just went through a divorce and is showing his age (45) and he too has been grumbling about his team. Brady doesn\u2019t look his age, but Rodgers is showing his (39 in December). For years, Rodgers looked physically good. But lately is unshaven, his hair is a mess and his eyes seem to be bulging. He\u2019s a very smart dude, but I think pressure has gotten to him. If pressure seems to have gotten to Rodgers, and Brady, it has not penetrated the veneer that protects Russell Wilson. The former Seahawks\u2019 QB is having a sad year in his first year with the Broncos, but still keeps up the smile and his corny statements. He\u2019s been mocked and defrocked in Denver but persists in believing in himself. The Broncos are 3-5, however, and their offense is missing in action. If I didn\u2019t know better, I would say Geno Smith was the starter and Wilson the back-up in Seattle. It\u2019s remarkable what Smith has done this season for the Seahawks and just as remarkable what Wilson has not done in Denver to earn his $245million salary over five years. I guess this just goes to show you no matter how good you are Father Time always wins. Brady, Rodgers and Wilson may be victims of Father Time.\u00a0 That\u2019s enough for today. Stay safe.<\/p>\n<p>Be well pal.<\/p>\n<p>Be careful out there.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day.<\/p>\n<p>You are loved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; TERRY MOSHER TOP OF THE TOWN \u2013 I\u2019m not amused at the antics of Brooklyn Nets\u2019 Kyrie Irving.
