A rant will find a way…
Read it, don’t read it, I don’t care…just needed to get some things off my chest.
In no particular order of chronology or importance…
On the clock. This is new style. A blind rant but not on an airplane. Lindsey and I are driving one of the roads that pretty much sells you on Colorado. Independence Pass. I drove the first leg. 45 miles out of Aspen-let’s get some stuff out. This moving thing has me with like four sheets of paper of blog notes. Let’s turn and burn.

1) Greetings and salutations, people. This move is killing me, so forgive my blog absence. We are listening to Lions-Cowboys on Sirius radio. Stafford pretty much is sucking, yet it is somehow still a game.
2) The Sixers released Royce White this week. Too bad. There has to be a way to work an NBA skill level kid into a lineup even though he is scared of flying.
3) I sometimes still pronounce Real Madrid incorrectly after a few drinks.
4) Josh Freeman is blaming his inaccuracy on nerves and not skill. That is one way to look at it. Or, he just sucks.
5) By the way, this is speed version today. Too much to get through in the time allotted.
6) Greg Oden and Danny Amendola BOTH might play in the next week. I tweeted that we should check outside to see if there is a meteor shower also with this crazy news. Thanks to my brother for sending me the meteor shower link.
7) Sure, it took an odd obstruction call to do it, but after the Cards got blown out the first game, the Cards are now playing like a World Series team. Sticking with Cards in 7.
8) Even though he has no interest, good to see that Favre comeback headlines still are everywhere to annoy us.
9) Hello to my new friend, Vaughn, who we watched the Sooners game with the other day at Uptown (yes. Finally away from Pub on Penn). We will see you at Stoneys next week, buddy.
10) I don’t have time to go into it. This was going to be a long hook. Comcast, you suck.
11) Three games have been announced for London next year. Those poor English people get yet another year of watching those damned Jaguars.
12) Fancy that a Fire Schiano billboard has popped up in Tampa. I think he can start acting like the asshole he is AFTER he starts winning some games.
13) I threw away my bonsai tree during the move. Sad. It just didn’t look like it was going to make it. Sorry, Danielson. It was fun while it lasted, and they really weren’t joking about you needing to be watered EVERY freaking day.
14) Shanahan actually has a point about suspensions. If a player is banned and can’t practice, appeals, and wins, then he has already missed a lot of the prep time for the next game. They should let them practice during the process.
15) Wow. I actually agreed with the Rat.
16) Peyton is hobbled, but Broncos fans better be glad the pain is down by his feet. Any torso/ back stuff would NOT be good for anyone except opposing defenses.
17) I have like 13 Deadspin links I was going to share. Do yourself a favor. Just read Deadspin regularly. Takes 5 minutes of your day.
18) I am ashamed to say that I really dig that new JT song about taking back the night. It is what it is. Man crush. I am honest. The song is tight.
19) The Nats pegged Matt Williams as their new skipper next year. I like the pick. Dude was managerial even during his playing days.
20) The Wizards snagged C Marcin Gortat as their new center in a trade. Great pickup. John Wall might have to Google who he is, but it is a good addition to the squad without a doubt in a center deprived league.
21) You know the Utah Jazz are down these days when news comes out about them talking contract extension with Gordon Hayward.
22) I am not saying that Gordon sucks. I am saying that he is at the level that no one cares about his contract status.
23) My VP and I have a bet on the Steelers-Raiders game. $5 and the loser has to wear the other teams gear in a photo on my blog and our CEO’s internal blog. More on that to come obviously.
24) Klitschko WILL run for president of Ukraine. Great article you should check out in ESPN mag a couple months ago you should check out. And dibs if I spelled his name right. That is a Wheel of Fortune nightmare.
25) Having no internet or TV at home sucks a little, but it sucks more when I find out that South Carolina actually came back to beat Mizzou yesterday.
26) Lindsey drives the treacherous road that is Independence Pass pretty darn fast I have noticed.
27) Who is Octavius McKoy? Well, he is the freak from Western Connecticut that ran for 455 yards in one freaking game. Record. Tell your friends.
28) I just have “Wallace” in my notes. Congrats to that guy for becoming the 2nd black driver to win a NASCAR event. Something about trucks. On a serious note, that is AWESOME.
29) FSU football looks really, really good.
30) Welcome to the show, smart, irritating kids from Duke. Your football win AT VA Tech officially means you are playing with the big boys. That hurt to type.
31) He is irritating to me, but damn the kid can play. Manziel tossed another 4 TD’s yesterday, and then was heading to a party with Charlie Sheen, Tiger Woods, and others. Looking forward to idiotic tweets and photos.
32) Baylor football might be really, really good. We will find out next week.
33) A guy named Brett at the bar yesterday was talking soccer with me. Interesting point I had never thought about. Over here, we are country and then club. Over there, they are club and then country. I hadn’t thought about it that way.
34) Those two guys also kept calling Kingsbury Ryan Gosling. That is pretty funny.
35) I still know every single note and lyric of Van Halen 5150 and think it still might be my favorite CD’…ever. Lindsey doesn’t understand, but I still hate Mr. Flutie for making us do the Constitutional theme as opposed to Dreams. We are graduating. We have dreams. I could play it. Dammit.
36) In a funny conversation late night with Lindsey, we were talking composers. Yes, I was quoted as saying that Mozart was overrated, and that Liszt, Beethover, and Chopin were all better. I still think that to a point actually, although “overrated” is probably a tad bit harsh.
37) Has Arsenio Hall even aged over the last 25 years?
38) I was at a bar so there was no sound, but would have liked to catch the conversation between Andrew Dice Clay and Jimmy Kimmel.
39) Hey, Miami Hurricanes, you do know you almost got beat by football powerhouse WAKE FOREST, right?
40) Thanks to the Minnesota football team for beating Nebraska yesterday. Sad Husker fans make me happy.
41) The guys from the other day also said something funny. “I am at the point in my life where I can refuse shots.”
42) There was a day when Virginia playing Georgia Tech at our crib would have been a lock.
43) Congrats to OU, who beat dangerous Texas Tech yesterday. I am not sure if we learned anything about either team during the game, but that was the result.
44) I am skipping the THREE more sheets of paper I have next to me. Don’t have the bandwidth to get to it this week.
45) We are almost there. Gotta go navigate. Always nice going to the best town in Colorado…Aspen. Even nicer when Lindsey’s dad hooked us up with two free nights at one of the dope hotels up here. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
46) Might be just a tagline. I have to drive back tomorrow and meet our Navy special forces at the office.
