Each week I’ll write about the world of sport:
*I am so appreciative of the many words of encouragement in my journey to beat cancer. With all the love and support, I am now cancer free and was so excited about the Dickie V gala as It raised over $11 million this year to benefit the V Foundation. Next year, we will honor John and Patrick McEnroe, David Robinson, Buster Posey and John Saunders Award for courage, Dereck Whittenburg.

*No doubt CALEB WILLIAMS locked up the HEISMAN TROPHY as he led USC to 38-27 win over ND. Will USC now join Georgia , Michigan, TCU as the 4th team for the college playoffs?

*I’m so annoyed in what the NCAA did to Florid State’s Baba Miller, declaring him ineligible quickly. Are they serious, in the day of where schools that CHEATED THEIR BUTTS OFF and get charged, yet it takes NCAA years to reach decisions but here they pounce on an innocent player. ABUSIVE!

*It is absolutely amazing what Tommy Lloyd has done with the Arizona program. I know that Lute Olson, one of he architects of college basketball, would love what Tommy is doing. He just won the Maui Classic over an outstanding Creighton team .

*I can’t imagine how painful it must be for Louisville and coach Kenny Payne. To be respectable next year, the staff must hit big in the transfer portal plus get some big-time recruits. This is going to be a tough, tough year for the Cardinals.

*Talk about competing with PASSION & PRIDE, just watch the WORLD CUP! One of the biggest upsets ever, according to experts in soccer, was SAUDI ARABIA over ARGENTINA!
