Catch of the Day. A Barry reminder…
Too busy of day to organize into hook, line, sinker. Here are the things I think you should know today. I would like to get back to my evening.
- Griffey goes into HOF with Piazza and breaks voting percentage records while at it. Something tells me that him doing what he did DURING the steroid era with a bunch of cheaters makes his achievements that much more extraordinary. I kind of agree.
- Sean Payton will stay with New Orleans and is committed. I break this theory down to two things. You might as well ride out the arm of Drew Brees until it is over, and New Orleans is a FANTASTIC city to hang out in.
- Like the Big Ben-Bryant call out, and LOVE that Bryant accepted the challenge and didn’t get lippy.
- Calvin Johnson might retire? He has dived in the stats and it will be sad to see someone nicknamed after an alien super robot retire at age 30. Sorry to digress, but it reminded me of when Barry Sanders retired at age 30. Was NOT going downhill, retired healthy, went out 1457 yards from first on the all time rushing list, and did over 2000 and 1481 the two seasons before exiting. That is just ridiculous. His LAST year of 1481 would have ranked him SECOND this year in NFL rushing. Sorry, Calvin. I just like talking about how badass Barry Sanders was. Thanks for reminding me.
- Not surprised that a fan got kicked out of a game for shining a laser light in a star’s eye (Harden). AM surprised it was at a harmless Utah game.
- Manziel wears a wig and moustache in Vegas. Manziel doesn’t report to medical the next day. Manziel is dropped by LeBron’s marketing firm after LeBron expresses concern. Manziel wants to go to Dallas. Healthy, non problematic RGIII wants to go to Dallas. Man, that window is getting tighter and tighter, Johnny Football.
- For the sake of you Broncos fans, let’s hope the latest NFL playoff simulation by Madden 16 is WRONG. Otherwise, you are predicted to roll through the AFC and get beat by Seattle…again.
- Just in case you thought the Houston football team wouldn’t reload, they just picked up the highly ranked QB Allen kid who dropped A&M.
- I feel like I might watch The Revenant and then run through a wall afterwards…but that is just from seeing the long preview.
- For those of you who tuned into LSU-UK last night to see Ben Simmons, RELAX. Even though he was under his ridiculous averages (20/13/5), his TEAM looked dangerous, he was in foul trouble mostly, and he did a couple nice things at the end. He is the best in the land.
- I am having a hard time picking a home team this weekend in the NFL playoffs. I think I might be crazy and go Houston and three road teams. Crazy is being sarcastic. The crazy thing is TAKING home team Houston.
- I say let Steve Sarkisian come back to coaching. Plus, I need a coach on the new Rant Squad/ Castoffs.
- We are up to NINE Ohio State underclassmen going pro. Any others?
- That’s it. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
