All Tied up in...

NOTS! By definition "unclear" -- as an outcome of any competition that is "neither, nor"...NOT a true victor or a clear loser. Why play, you ask? Good question without a clear, definitive answer, I guess. A bit equivocal, at best, with two teams sharing a position which could get a bit tipsy, as crowded at the top, physics-wise, or, as we see in the current Presidential race, where they're both bottoming out...One of the most mirky, quirky, and, to most paying customers, jerky! conditions at the end of the contest -- "Why did we even come, we could have stayed home and the outcome would have been the same at the beginning as well as the end...we're the clear losers here!" Luckily, in the game of b-ball, absent foul! weather where the game might get "called" they play the thing out via extra innings, as many as it might take which, if it eventuates it keeping you "out" (see the tie-in here?) past curfew, might extend to even the next day. So why, you ask again, would anyone who considers themselves a competitor, settle for such an outcome? Don't ask me...

My hands are tied! Literally, as well as...like the pugilistic punchers who dance around a ring, start "jabbing" at each other like sibs, then, like some of the most powerful homerun hitters, have a real slugfest. Boxers in boxer, shorts. Who at both the beginning and end of the match, need help in both tying, untying, respectively, both glove hands. An interesting side-by-side comparison with b-ball, where the gloved hand is deigned the one to catch the ball off the bat of the batter (occasionally, it could be caught bare handed, for either show or especially if the batter "bunts"), the boxer uses either, both hands to simply batter each other...for several "rounds" A most curious state of affairs, given that the ring, roped off for full effect, according to my basic geometry, is square...One in which could be, as a result of eye-brows, noses, and lips, being split wide open, blood stained. I wonder if that's why some boxing matches, if there's any conflict among the judges themselves, in what's called a "split decision"...  

Un-settling? Then you can relate to the runner who's left "stranded" on third...perhaps a result of the batter ignoring the sign from the coach, refusing to "sacrifice" them-self, in order to bring their team-mate back home...speaking of...

Tie-breakers! Once you've had a chance to refresh your-self, come back and we'll "settle this once and for all!"

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
