Hey folks, I was recently reminiscing and I reflected on a few tidbits. FYI, I created the “Inside Conditions” sports column in 1995. I remember it almost as if it were just last week. For the co-pilot purists out there, the title of the article is: “Four Fateful Minutes Give Steelers Win Over Patriots.” The reason I am pointing this out is after 31 years and 52 columns annually, that means that I have written more than 1,600 columns during that time. However, until recently I had never featured a President of the United States in my column alive or deceased. Other than the usual ceremonial photo ops of the winners of various sports championships, there was no other relevant reason for me to do so. Because no sitting president in my lifetime would have any reason to be involved in the world of sports, they were far too busy taking care of our country! No president in the 250-year history of our “democracy” has ever signed an executive order for the purpose of controlling college sports, except Donald Trump.
This current resident of “our house” is the clear exception to that unspoken rule. Because unprovoked, he has produced a perverted document of papyrus made from the skin of bat wings and endorsed that document with a porcupine quill pen filled with a manure extract just for the purpose of regulating and controlling the economics of college sports. Were there any NIL or scholarships available for athletes performing at Trump University? Oh, Charlie Chan so sorry: me forgot the only sport that was available at “Chump University,” oops, I meant Trump U was the sport of, “jumping through the legal hoops of deception,” so that the number one money-making sports team in America, the TTF, (Trump Team Family) could be paid.
Recently, the White House website had the nerve to post the following garbage with pride. “PROTECTING THE FUTURE OF COLLEGE SPORTS BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to preserve the unique American institution of college athletics by restoring order, fairness, and stability.”
How in the h___ is Donald Trump preserving college athletics by restoring order? It only has become disorderly because him and his cronies have been given, “get-out-of-jail-free cards.”
The compensation for college athletes was never “fair” from the beginning and will never be fair when it comes to the well-being of the student-athletes. So why should Americans depend on the most unfair and unethical president in the history of the United States of America to restore “fairness” to anything? Remember Donald Trump adopted my grandfather’s slogan. “It is only a fair fight if Donald Trump wins.”
As my great friend and mentor Homey the Clown might say: “Hold up Orange Juice Jones, Homey don’t play dat.” As far as restoring stability to anything or anyone is concerned: Orange Juice Jones, or OJJ, destabilizes anything that he breathes on.
The White House tricksters also go on to say the following: “Banning improper financial arrangements including pay-for-play agreements facilitated by collectives and similar entities; and establishing protections against unscrupulous agent conduct.”
Why should our society depend on the most unscrupulous administration in the history of a democratically-based government to re-establish scruples as well as morals and values of which they have none? The non-compensation rule for student athletes has been codified for decades, purposely designed to maintain a system that would keep the participants mired in poverty, without being afforded the opportunity to play for compensation.
During the dark ages, the value systems that the college athletic departments adhered to and continue to maintain are strenuously maintained, covertly. However, after the NCAA indentured servant system was forced to allow college players to be compensated, biased observers and the powers-that-be created and manufactured an emergency fiscal crisis based on the false and unsubstantiated claims that paying athletes on the college level has frayed the moral fiber of these underprivileged lost souls. They must now be saved from themselves because all of us should realize by now that: “Money is the root of all evil.” They don’t tell you the real story that is: “The lack of money is the root of all evil.”
This final excerpt that I will profile from the White House “mess release” is downright wrong. This is where the “Lied Piper” lines up his victims in Manhattan preparing to lead them down to the Hudson River where Donald Trump aka the “Jesus of Mar-a-Lago” will bestow the gift of “eternal strife” upon them instead of the gift of “eternal life” as he prepares to baptize them in the “river of lies.” Yes, this human being has compared himself to Jesus. He has the nerve to define his meddling as “salvation.” If he is Jesus, it’s time for me to change my faith. The White House Liars Club finally points out that: “President Trump recognizes the critical role of American college sports in fostering leadership, education, and community pride, and that decisive action is needed to address urgent threats to its future.”
This guy is a real live “USDA certified nut.” He is the ultimate “narcissistic puppy” that always stops to pee on every pole and poop on every lawn when he is taken out on his morning walk. People have said to me: “Aubrey, your commentary might be a bit off-center because this is supposed to be about sports.” My rebuttal is: “This is certainly all about sports.” Unfortunately for him: “Orange Juice Jones” strayed into the arena of sports which is my domain. He became lost and turned out, without a collar or valid license for animal control to refer to. We all know what happens to a stray animal when they are captured by animal control. They are taken to the dog pound and put up for adoption. I have a suspicion that when the voters come to the dog pound in November 2026 to adopt an animal, certain dogs might remain in the animal shelter, hoping to be rescued.
