Still trying to shake out cobwebs after a 22-hour travel experience on Sunday. But definitely worth it if your day started in Monte Carlo. It was the last stop on our week-long cruise that started in Barcelona.
I will say this: Monte Carlo is the only place where a Mercedes feels like the equivalent of a Chevy in the U.S. It seems like every other car is a Bentley, Porsche, Rolls, Ferrari, etc.. Neat place.
Anyway, glad to be back. Well, not so glad, but I still need to save a bit more cash before I can buy my place in Monte Carlo.
Hope all is well. What did I miss?
Ed:
You missed Fox’s coverage of the Derek Jeter love fest during the All Star Game.
I think Jeter was a fine player, represented the game well but to listen to Fox the entire game was about him and him alone. There were times when lineup changes weren’t announced or actual at bats would be missed because Fox was either talking about Jeter, having Jeter’s teammates talk about him or having former Jeter teammates talk about him.
It was sickening.
I guarantee you, GUARANTEE you, that if Jeter had the exact same career in Pittsburgh, Chicago, Houston, Oakland Fox wouldn’t give two cents worth.
But it the Yankees so naturally Fox is all over it like white on rice and the hell with every other team in baseball.
