March Madness

It's that time of the year again. 

NCAA Basketball means March Madness as millions of people fill out a bracket, trying to guess which college team will win it all this year and eventually cut down the nets at the Final Four on April 6 in Indianapolis. 

Well, here at Heftyinfo it's no different, so here goes nothing in picking the Final Four teams and eventual national champion. 

The call is for Houston and Connecticut (UConn) advancing to Indy as number two seeds while number one teams Arizona and Michigan get there as well. From there, Houston beats UConn and Arizona knocks off Michigan to set up the final game. 

The pick here is Arizona to defeat Houston, which would be the second year in a row the Houston Cougars come up short in the NCAA Championship Game. The Arizona Wildcats are the pick to win the championship game and cut down the nets when all is said and done. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

War Is Sell

The old school phrase that "War is hell" went out the window many years ago when the greedy war pigs started looking for the profits over people in a blatant and uninhibited way. 

Vietnam comes to mind as well as both George Bush, Sr. and junior with their gulf wars and Iraq efforts putting U.S. troops in harms way. Lives lost and money wasted as the war profiteers got richer.

Now we have another example of that as Israeli leader Bibi Netanyahu looks to stay out of prison at any and all costs and has suckered current U.S. President Donald Trump (who likewise ran for the office of President to avoid prison) into bombing Iran. BOMB BOMB BOMB, BOMB BOMB IRAN! Cue up the nearly 20-year old video of the late John McCain singing that chorus to the Beach Boys "Barbara Ann" song. 

Well, Netanyahu got his wish for his sick, twisted fantasy he has been pushing for roughly 30 years and Trump got played by the war criminal and what timing. The news media has put the Epstein Files on the back burner for now as this senselessness takes place in the Middle East. The American people do not want this "war" and current polls show that better than 60 percent are opposed to Trump and company coming up with yet another distraction to his dilemma that is the Epstein Files. 

Point is they are not going away and Trump and all the other Epstein class will have to answer for what they did to all those underage girls they assaulted and raped in various locations. 

But WAR IS SELL and that is what the current regime in power in the White House is trying to do now. Hopefully, the bloodshed will be minimal with this latest catastrophe that is happening. Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth are in way over their heads and the likely outcome for the United States will not be positive when all is said and done. 

The motive here for the war pigs is profits over people yet again.  

God help us all.

Remembering Jesse Jackson

Rest In Peace Reverend Jesse Jackson.  

The iconic civil rights leader and political activist passed away earlier today and leaves behind a remarkable legacy that included his involvement with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and so many others throughout the years. Jackson was 84 years old and had been in declining health for quite some time. 

He rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s (with Rainbow PUSH coalition) and that continued through the 1980s when he twice ran for president with the Democratic party in 1984 and 1988 elections. He continued to stay active for many decades and wasn't afraid to poke some fun at himself as he appeared on Saturday Night Live (reading Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss and also the point is moot skit with Julia Louis-Dreyfuss) and also was on Sesame Street in the early 1970s encouraging children to believe in themselves and always have hope. 

The People United to Save Humanity (Operation PUSH) was his main claim to fame as well as holding charity basketball games in Chicago, which WCPT-AM 820 talk show radio host Richard Chew mentioned as well. I was working the music and sound operations and was able to meet the Rev. Jackson at the Scottie Pippen All-Star charity basketball game in September of 1994 at the old Chicago Stadium. That game was the last event ever held at Chicago Stadium before it was torn down as the United Center (located across the street in the Windy City) was about to open and Jackson was there during the event and again encouraging the kids in attendance with his "I Am Somebody" speech. Operation PUSH/Rainbow Coalition were involved with the event and what a night that was. 

The man was remarkable and definitely one of a kind and a true fighter for justice and truth for so many people throughout the years. 

Rest In Peace. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BASEBALL IS BACK

Spring Training! 

Yes, pitchers and catchers have reported throughout Florida and Arizona as Major League Baseball is back for the 2026 season, which begins on March 26. The Los Angeles Dodgers are once again the heavy favorite to win the World Series, which would be their third in a row should they be able to accomplish that feat next fall.  

 

 

But that is getting way ahead of things as the players get back in form and baseball shape as they stretch out and participate in the throwing drills and the pitchers and catchers play catch and get it going once again. Soon, the crack of the bat is heard throughout the camps as batting practice gets ramped up. 

Here's looking forward to another exciting season and before that the spring training season throughout late February and most of March. 

Play Ball!

Meanwhile, the Seahawks defense forced three turnovers and had six quarterback sacks and also scored a touchdown on a 45-yard interception return by Uchenna Nwosu to make it 29-7 with 4:27 left in the game. The victory was the second Super Bowl title for the Seahawks in franchise history and the first in twelve years for the team.

The Patriots scores came on a 35-yard touchdown pass from QB Drake Maye (295 passing yards, two TD, two interceptions and one lost fumble) to wide receiver Mack Hollins and a seven-yard TD toss to running back Rhamondre Stevenson.
