Who could have predicted that 2020 would bring us so many 12 to 6 curve balls and 95 MPH knee-high outside corner strikes?  No one could actually.

Who could know what 2021 could possibly have in store for us in the sports and news world?  Well, BBR of course.

Take the first six months of the 12-month journey below.  You’ll be glad you did and then let the champagne flow.

January-  Alabama beats Clemson 45-28 and a masked Nick Saban hoists his 23rd or so FBS trophy, each as tall as he is.  The Kansas City Chiefs make it two Super Bowls in a row beating the New Orleans Saints 38-35 in overtime on a 61-yard field goal.  Joe Biden gets sworn into the highest office in the land while mistakenly placing his left hand on the bible.  Donald Trump, the most outgoing President ever, becomes the first outgoing President to not attend the inauguration.

February- To kick off Black History Month President Biden, by executive order, renames the White House the Black House.  A new civil rights organization, Tall Lives Matter, is formed and takes over four square blocks near the house, and names the area Shaq.  Dr. Fauci opines that the next pandemic could be far worse than this past one, or it might never come.

March- The stock market dives from its all-time high of 33,321 to test the March 23, 2020 lows of 18,321.  President Biden calls it March Madness and the greatest buying opportunity of his 103 years.  He proposes that the government buy Apple for 3 trillion dollars, rename it Ring My Bell, and promises free phones for all.  Donald Trump gets his own TV talk show named Agent Orange.

April- Gonzaga finishes 33-0 and wins the real March Madness tournament.  They cut down the nets sans masks forcing them to forfeit their trophy and 2 scholarships for 2022.  The Ways and Means Committee eliminates April 15 as the tax deadline effectively allowing you to pay your taxes when you wish and if you wish.  A bill on the Senate floor to rename America as Neverland is narrowly defeated 51-49.

May- Biden mistakenly signs his name on the new healthcare act as President Harris.  Mitch McConnell gets new glasses sponsored by Coca Cola. They are affectionately known as Bottoms Up.  Ghislaine Maxwell, under oath, swears that William Jefferson Clinton was such a frequent guest on Epstein’s island that they named the slip and slide into the pool after him-Slick Willie.  A race track star is born as Pie O My III wins the Kentucky Derby by 12 lengths.

June- The earliest hurricane ever recorded slams Washington, DC and it takes nearly three full weeks to drain the swamp.  The San Diego Padres win their 17th game in a row to take a commanding 12 game lead in the NL West.   George Springer hits his 27th dinger for the NY Mets.  Joe Biden, by executive order, deems 1-3 PM Monday through Friday in the Black House as nap time.  The stock market hits an all-time high of 33,666.

Tomorrow we’ll see what the second half of 2021 has in store for us.
