Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

News Corp Meddling In Big Ten Football?


Rupert Murdoch's News Corp is the global media conglomerate devoted to schlocky conservative propaganda.  News Corp owns Dow Jones, the Wall Street Journal, Fox Broadcasting and the Faux News network, among many others.

Just before kick-off of yesterday's Ohio State-Michigan game, an unidentified "cameraman" banged into Buckeye star J.T. Barrett while the QB was warming up, and injured Barrett's knee.  Barrett was able to play into the third quarter, but then his knee flared up and he was done for the day.  When he came out, Michigan had just retaken the lead and things looked bleak for the Bucks.

Luckily, Ohio State rallied and came back to win the game.  After the game, OSU head coach Urban Meyer was incensed when he learned how Barrett's injury had occurred.  Meyer called for an "all-out investigation" of the suspicious incident, to be jointly conducted by the Big Ten, the Warren Commission, the Watergate Committee, Metropol, Mossad, Scotland Yard, Robert Mueller and Tomas de Torquemada.

Said Meyer, "We need to learn more about this mysterious cameraman, but we all know the game was televised by Fox.  Coincidence?  I don't think so."
