I figure the next 40 posts might be GOT, so let’s give someone else a chance for tonight for my non sports theme.

I ain’t got TIME to bleed was such an awesome quote.

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…

Not on the clock.  Afternoon rant.  Let’s turn and burn.

  1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  My day is not exactly going as planned, but on the couch now, watching Bama-Miss. St., writing occasional hooks.  Unlike A.P., I don’t miss hearings or blogs.  
  2. Thanks, Duke. Forget to play the second half?  I am glad I was working while watching game so as not to see everything.  I just heard it.  The Peyton Manning story is still cool.
  3. Yes, when not out of town, I work on Saturdays. I think I like working on Saturdays.  No one replies back to me.
  4. Damn, Bama looks good.
  5. Congrats to Penn State, who is bowl eligible for the first time since 2011.
  6. Listen, Ohio State haters. The win today at Minnesota wasn’t decisive, but it is a win in the snow on the road against a decent team.
  7. Read this statement slowly. This is a wire story.  “Canseco: my finger fell off at poker table.”  
  8. He should win the all time award of weird headlines.  I feel like posting another pic.  
  9. Lindsey is out of town. My crazy bachelor experience is sitting by myself on the couch watching football.  Couldn’t be happier.
  10. And parental password has been activated to not let me watch Game of Thrones episodes without Lindsey.  
  11. That is not a lie. I might spend some time on the password later, but my hands are tied.  Hurry back, babe.  I am going through GOT withdrawal.
  12. I know about 3 people who haven’t watched any episodes of GOT. I would advise waiting until your schedule and THEN start watching it.  Hindsight is 20/20, but if I had to do it again, I would have started it the day after the NBA playoffs.  Would have missed some summer hiking, but no football.  
  13. What brilliance. Jump Around is being played at the Bama game.  What a simple, smart song idea.  Almost as brilliant as when Prince wrote 1999 back in the 80’s…just in case he needed to make a comeback in that year.  
  14. Not as brilliant as this. Someone figured out when arguably the greatest rap song of all time actually occurred.  January 20thhttp://limewedge.net/nerd-figures-ice-cubes-official-good-day-january-20th#.VGOrxfkhgvm  
  15. I always think of the song when I successfully make it through another day of my Jeep not breaking down.
  16. Hey, Jimmy Graham. There is a reason why it is the LAMBEAU Leap.  They don’t grope people in Green Bay.  I don’t feel bad for you, and hopefully it was good for you.  Go back to dunking the football over the goalposts.
  17. This happened last night. Both of these things.  I can’t turn off TV when Tin Cup is on near the end.  I can’t turn off TV during middle of Enemy of the State.  I would love to say Kevin Costner hitting those balls in the water wasn’t me in a lot of respects, but it is.  
  18. If any of you people think that the Cavs won’t make a run and win 15 in a row at some point to gain control of the East, then you are mistaken.
  19. I feel like Derrick Rose is fast becoming the PG version of Tracy McGrady. Get healthy, man.  I don’t want my lasting memory of you to be the free throws at Memphis.  
  20. Let’s all join hands and remember when Clemson football was getting good again. They had a slightly longer run than Indiana basketball’s resurgence.  Clemson got worked today.
  21. If you are on Twitter, follow Lost Lettermen. Dude is hilarious.  If you are not on Twitter, then tell people on Instagram and Facebook about this guy.  Just read my tweets.  I retweet him every single day.
  22. Kind of had a feeling that South Carolina would do some weird shit at Florida today. Get in your bunker, Muschamp.
  23. I acknowledge that I am not well liked, but I find myself sort of funny. I chuckled on that last hook.  I have actually chuckled a few times in these 23 hooks.  I assume that is why I write this thing.  Actually, I am less confused about why I write this, and more confused about how I just started writing an actual blog two years ago.  What did I do with all of those bottled up thoughts?  I would write if my stats said zero.  I love this shit.
  24. I pissed people off by telling them the things in face to face conversation, Fillerbuster.  Right.  Got it.
  25. Vicious cycle. You draft Arian Foster in fantasy.  You get happy.  He gets hurt.  You lose out in drafting his backup.  True story.
  26. I will say this. Lindsey watches The Voice and we picked our people in the first round.  Listen, with GOT, we are watching much less of it and plus the later rounds suck in excitement, but I will go on the record that my dorky guy, my rock out 80’s hairdo guy, my old badass chick, and the other dorky guy all are still in it and advanced.  My picks.  Just saying.
  27. I would love to have beers with Blake Shelton.  
  28. I think the Kia commercials have sold me. I really can’t believe that Blake Griffin got pissed at anyone at a bar.  
  29. Our MLB All Stars got no-hit in a game by four Japanese pitchers…in some tournament/ tour that even people like me who live and breathe sports are not sure what it is.
  30. Dak Prescott uses the fake run Tebow move. Just noticed that.
  31. It is snowing in Denver, and that confuses me because the Broncos play away tomorrow, meaning a lost chance at people on the East Coast thinking it constantly snows and is cold in Denver. Our weather, odds are, is better than yours.
  32. A wire story I could literally go to sleep every night reading…”Melo scores 46, but Jazz win.”
  33. His college run was amazing, and maybe he should have stayed at the Cuse a little longer so we could have fond memories of him.
  34. I am a hater.  President of the Melo Hater Club.  You need to take a quiz just to be considered into my club.  Amazingly, either no one has asked, or no one has passed, but the quiz is ready.  
  35. We had “fun Friday” at work last night after work. I played one game of Foosball with 10 people watching just to make sure that people know I may or may not have been a ringer in my past fraternity life.
  36. Seriously, have you ever met a fraternity guy who sucked at Foosball? I am a defensive master.  Well, a master as long as I am playing co-workers who weren’t Stiffler in their college life.  I assume he could play the game also.  
  37. Kobe is jealous of the Spurs’ continuity, and it has been leaked that Tim Duncan may or may not be jealous of Kobe in Eagle Vail.
  38. My boss told me the story of that when he said Kobe should have been a Nugget and on work release and I almost fell out of my chair.
  39. It was funnier long version, and when he told it. He doesn’t read this, so we will never know.  I would let him do a guest blog though.  He knows basketball…let me tell you.  And he is funny.
  40. It hasn’t come up on my list yet, but I have a story coming that if you read it, don’t laugh or get it, then you should not come back to my blog.  It has to do with THIS.  
  41. There is already a “rant,” and this catch of the day thing I started got me thinking. Any feedback on me calling this “The Catch” as opposed to the rant?  Would love to know.
  42. I want to see who still reads this. Scott, where did Bradley Beal go to college?  Cerk, where did we walk to for lunch on our first day of work?  Vince, what was the performer of the concert we may or may not have gotten kicked out of?  Ben, what do I say we need during our bar conversations?  Joe, who came up with the name of my ideas…the hook?  Logan, what was the name of the apartment complex we met at?  Gabe, name three people on my rant squad.  Matt, what level are you on in Sugar Mash?  Debbie, what is my favorite day of the week per your son?  Mom, what sporting event do I most want to attend in my life?  This is only a test.  All easy questions.
  43. KG says he envisions owning the T-Wolves. Outside of hockey stuff, I didn’t think anyone envisioned to stay in the state of Minnesota.
  44. More of a joke on KG than the state of Minnesota.  
  45. Have I mentioned I am already beyond tired of hearing where Kevin Love MIGHT go after this year?  Let this play out and leave us alone.
  46. Way to go, NBA. FIRST names on Christmas jerseys that sell for $110?    You must have a full 10 person team working on that.  
  47. Or 11. I am hoping there was a majority vote…and that it was close.
  48. FSU is so smart. To divert our attention from Mr. Winston, two CB’s went out and hit and run…’d someone.
  49. I admit to being so bored with the Rex Ryan coaching show that I didn’t open up the profanity $100k article.
  50. I just chuckled at a Sonic commercial.  What is my life coming to?  
  51. Steve (Lindsey’s dad) made a fantastic point today while working on some house stuff because I can’t fix shit. He is an Oklahoma Sooner guy.  He was expressing his frustration with Bob Stoops and compared him with Frank Beamer.  Never thought about it.  Brilliant, actually.  Two coaches who 95 out of 100 people would say is a “good” coach but really hasn’t done much with exceptional talent in a long, long time.
  52. Billy Idol must be proud his song has once again made a resurgence decades later on the tube. He would think about it, but he is still chuckling from beating the system in general in a HUGE way.  
  53. I know basketball very well. I get McDonald’s All Americans.  I still don’t at ALL see UK running the table this year.  They will lose early, you read it here, and I feel some mid major beating them in second round this year in March Madness.  Same thing as USA basketball.  You need to recognize you need role players.  You need a slow guy hitting threes in the corner.
  54. Hold on. How many more months without rushing my life?    I love March.
  55. I was going to release this blog tomorrow, but will release it today hoping people miss me talking crap about Duke football.
  56. What the HELL was I thinking by the way? Must have been tired from the night before.
  57. How did that Pub On Penn convo go, Mr. Bauer? Not as well as you expected it to go I assume.  I don’t miss the place overall.  I miss waking up and going to get a HUGE $3 smothered breakfast burrito on the weekend.  I will sit in a booth on the side and leave right after.  I bartended for 14 years and kicked out hundreds of people, physically and verbally.  I am pretty sure I let ALL of them back in…even the violent assholes.  I am just a verbal asshole.
  58. I broke up a fight one time saying “I bartend, look wiry, but bench 290.”  They stopped fighting immediately and everyone had a good night.
  59. I assume TCU will be glad when they leave Kansas-getting all they can handle by a very bad KU team.
  60. Stop texting me about TCU-KU people. I am watching the Bama game.  I actually have not tried to look for it on tube.  I am enjoying myself-that is what is important.
  61. Just one person texted. I dropped the Blackjack pizza adds, so I am down to 2 texts a day from people not named Lindsey.  On a good day.
  62. The Dolphins might be one of the most confusing teams in the NFL. I have no idea who they are, and beating the also confusing Bills tells me nothing.
  63. I feel like Game of Thrones is happening as I write this…and I miss it.  I would Google another picture, but then I might see future things I shouldn’t see.  Kind of like there is an online flowchart, but I am making my own.
  64. Imagine my favorite game Zork with internet.
  65. Chuckle.  
  66. The Cards extended their DC. Good move.  Hope he doesn’t blow out his ACL.
  67. Not at the injury, people. My hook.
  68. When I think of all of the fishing references in this thing, I remember going fishing in the Delaware Bay with my dad. Some of my favorite childhood memories.  Especially if it was on Mr. Frietag’s plush boat.
  69. I caught weakfish, bluefish, a baby shark, and a mammoth sea turtle. All true.  Thanks, Dad.  You are not a fishermen.  You are an angler.
  70. I hear that Manny Pacquiao wants the Mayweather fight. His basketball coaching season must be done.
  71. FIFA has cleared Russia and Qatar for the World Cup. I feel sick.  I have to go to Russia or Qatar.  Dammit, I should have gone to Brazil.  I have a feeling I will be on my death bed when I am 90 and regret not going to South America.
  72. Love the theme song to GOT.  Thanks to my buddy, Vince, for passing THIS along.  GOT song live at Red Rocks.  Boom goes the dynamite.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIGFTsNzo-4&feature=youtu.be
  73. Dammit, that is a good song. I am starting to think about parental passwords Lindsey might have inputted.  I need that show.
  74. I am a Clayton Kershaw super fan, but he made 27 starts, has his own pitching award, and will go to that same death bed saying pitcher who pitch every fifth start should NOT win the MVP.
  75. Mike Trout can win anything he wants. Pride of South Jersey, works out at my brother’s gym, and a bad.  ass.
  76. I don’t know about you, but hope this Brandon Marshall Twitter fight thing actually happens.
  77. If you would like to know who is next to steal crabs, it is Malik Henry. #1 QB for 2016 just committed to FSU.  Can’t deny their recruiting prowess.  
  78. I love that word.   I like “paradigm” too.
  79. Holy shit. Welcome back to the Heisman conversation.  I have had a couple cocktails, but did I just hear that Melvin Gordon has 300 plus rushing yards in a game????  In the third quarter?
  80. For those of you who turned off the channel when it was 19-0, it is a GAME now. I still like Bama, but the spread scared me.  Ten???
  81. DeMarcus Cousins is playing like a beast this year. So…he felt like adding to it by talking to Sir Charles.  Well, you both are doing the same thing at different heights.  You are leading a bad team by being a machine.  
  82. The performance by Barkley in the 1993 Finals still gives me goose bumps. Damn you, Jordan.  You and Karl must go out and raise HELL when meeting for drinks.  Does Dan Marino join you here and there?  
  83. Forsett says that Ray Rice will be reinstated. Let me see that elevator video again.  Was Forsett in there?
  84. I actually have no idea what that meant. It was on my list.
  85. Andy Murray finally drank like an English guy after getting SMOKED 6-0/ 6-1 in a tournament no one cares about because even us tennis fans only care about Grand Slams.
  86. I don’t have the bandwidth. You might.  Just read Deadspin.  On a daily basis, you will fall off the couch reading something.
  87. I don’t have the article, but Lindsey informed me that something landed on a comet for first time, and the sound a comet makes is similar to the movie Predator. LOVE that movie.  In contention for non sports theme with GOT now.  
  88. Take a deep breath. Stephen A. Smith got paid $26,000 to talk for 45 minutes for an audience at Florida.
  89. I am so excited to tell you my last two hooks. Keep reading.
  90. If there was a way that we could have the Raiders play the Sixers, I think they would tie.
  91. This Stanton deal…will break some records. F-YOU, A-Rod.
  92. You know how you say newspaper, schnsewpaper when you are blowing someone off? Like rain, schmain.  Anyway, try saying “contracts” and do the same thing.
  93. Now try it again with a British face and accent. It is easier.  Seriously.  Stop and TRY it before moving on.  I guess you had to be there.
  94. Speaking of that, my might as well be my sister at work, Sarah, sat next to me during lunch yesterday. Our conversations should be recorded.  I am not lying.    Work lunch and no alcohol.  She has the habit of saying “do you know the song that talks about gladiators with a guy with blue hair sometime between 1991 and now?”  She went from asking about “there is something afoot at the Circle K” to Blockbuster to a music story in the mountains I will get into in a second, to a dog chasing her on a bike.  She has ADD in a fun way.  
  95. She was on the bike, not the monstrous fat bulldog named Milly.
  96. So, she goes on these trips with her brother, and all of his friends “know music.” So, she asked a question about a song, they guessed Stevie Nicks right off the bat, she said no, they went on for 20 more minutes with everyone stressing about HAVING to figure it out. They guess a bunch of shit.  Guess what the answer was?  Fleetwood Mac.
  97. We were having lunch at the Thirsty Lion. I am proud that I did NOT get the mac and cheese, which I already had, and was dirty (that is good).  While we were waiting for our food, I noticed how it was a British pub, had Abe Lincoln on the wall, and top 40 playing, so it was a hybrid bar.  Sarah mentioned that their symbol, the horse, was a good example of that.  I just said this.  “Or, it could be a LION.”  
  98. FINALLY, and the most exciting part of my week aside from anything involved with Lindsey. I need a flow chart.  When watching GOT, I said the lead imp/ dwarf looked like Johnny, one of the midgets from Seinfeld, because that is what my life is based on.  I was wrong, but at least finally looked it up.  What I found was astounding, and circled back in the oddest way.  He was NOT Johnny from Seinfeld.  BUT, if you Google Peter Dinklage (the dwarf actor) and Seinfeld, the first thing that pops up is THIS.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLhfJVJtBl0
  99. THOSE are the things that get me up in the morning. Not lying.  I got goose bumps again writing that.
  100. You should start and end your day with the GOT theme song, so here is an easy link to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8cEctQZpnI
  101. Miss St. is making this thing a GAME.
  102. If you made it through all of this, email me and I will send you a Peter Dinklage signed desktop phone.  Colors will be blue and orange and black and gold.
  103. That is it. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
