Good morning UJD, 911, and all you truly good yet deplorable Dawgs (you know who you are and who you ain’t)……OK, it’s Friday……Soon it will be Friday at 5:00 PM…….That’s when the weekend fun begins……..As for me, I traveled last weekend….I’m gonna enjoy my weekend at home today, tomorrow, and Sunday…..I’ll be doing some more organizing on my UGA Memorabilia Collection…..Take care folks……..
UGA SPORTS SPOTLIGHT:
I’m gonna mention a Dawg great in the UGA football spotlight section this morning, just to make sure at least something Dawg is mentioned today in this “DAWGChat” forum………Today’s DGD in the spotlight is former Dawg Wide Receiver Michael Greer………….
Micheal played in 32 games for UGA from the 1997 season through the 1990 season……He left UGA having provided 1,125 total yards and 6 TDs for the Dawgs in his 3 year career…….When he left UGA, our Dawgs lost one of UGA’s most gifted hands, one of UGA’s best route runners, and one of UGA’s best 3rd down go to possession receivers…….
Michael has been inducted into the Athens Athletic Hall of Fame…….His dad is Steve Greer, the gutsy All-American 200# defensive tackle back in the middle-late 1960s for UGA, is also a member of the AAHOF, so son Michael comes from damn good stock……
Michael Greer is a DGD………

TODAY’S @$$HOLE OF THE DAY:
I’ve got a bushel basket full of AOTD Candidates to choose from today as referenced in my above ramblings……Some of them are:
--Ray Lewis—didn’t he kill 2 men and never served a day?
--Kenny Chesney—I wouldn’t spit on that Tennessee hillbilly if he was on fire……
--Roger Ailes—confucious say you don’t satisfy your sexual desires under the same roof that you receive your paycheck….Roger did, and Gretchen and two dozen other babes gonna make the 80 year old pervert pay…..He’s got enough problems at this time….
--Jerry Quarry’s Manager(s)—that poor man made a living for two decades proving white men can’t box…..Ali, Smokin’ Joe, Floyd Patterson, Jimmy Ellis, Ken Norton and others beat him like a rented mule……Quarry would have been wise to have sit down and got a few things corrected with his manager(s)…..
--Peter, Paul, and Mary—three liberal @$$ed folk singers…..plus was at least one gay? And was at least one into child pornography?
--Ryan O’Neal—took Farrah Fawcett when she was a 10, beat her, drugged her, let her die a 1…….he’s a low-life POS…..
--Roe vs Wade—why didn’t those two simply go out behind the woodshed and settle their differences like men…….They have caused future generations to suffer time after time from their differences of opinion……
--Abe Fortas—now you know this US Supreme Court Justice did something really really really bad to resign from that gravy train job…..
--Arthur Herman Bremer—another low-life POS; this one denied me the right to vote for George Wallace—which reminds me, Dion can KMA…..why didn’t he include George in his Abraham, Martin, and John songy?
So as you can see, I’ve got ample candidates today…….My choice today is Richard Daley, ex-corrupt Chicago mayor…..Happy Birthday Mayor Daley, you crooked SOB…….
Here's a photo of Richard Daley, Sr with a friend..........
Daley served as the Mayor of Chicago from 1955 til his death in December 1976……Daley was also the chairman of the Cook County Democratic Party from 1953 to his death….From these two positions is where he got his power……..
Many members of Daley's administration over the years were charged with corruption and convicted, although Daley himself was never charged with corruption. Richard Daley was slick, too sharp for the law…….
Chicago has a long history of political corruption, dating back to the incorporation of the city in 1833, to present…..Cook County's judicial district recorded 45 public corruption convictions for 2013, and 1642 convictions since 1976, when the Department of Justice began compiling statistics……..This prompted many media outlets to declare Chicago the "corruption capital of America"……. Gradel and Simpson's Corrupt Illinois (2015) provides the data behind Chicago's corrupt political culture…….They found that a tabulation of federal public corruption convictions make Chicago "undoubtedly the most corrupt city in our nation", with the cost of corruption "at least" $500 million per year.........
Daley, Sr, Daley, Jr. Rahm Emanuel……They are all crooked Chicago mayors, and they have got more liberal as time goes by…..But it’s not limited to just Chicago mayors……you had Rod Blagojevich, Barack Obama and numerous others in the Chicago area…..Chicago is noted for its killing fields, but it also has a well-deserved reputation as training grounds for crooked politicians…..And Richard Daley was the corruption kingpin……
Therefore, this for his Birthday gift from me, step up on the throne Mr Daley, put on that crown…….I now anoint you as the @$$Hole of the Day, an honor long overdue…..And you Richard Daley can KMA too…….
As always my good Dawg friends, I hope y’all have a Great Bulldawg Day…..Stay Safe…..help MAGA…….and God Bless…….
