I mean, how often am I going to mention this guy these days? Theme. Deal with it.

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…

Kind of on the clock.  Evening rant, tired of my laptop, and the baseball game is on.  Let’s turn and burn.

  1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  We will get through the list (or skip some things on the list), but Lindsey is not here tonight, I am tired, and we will just rant it by ear.
  2. That is a take off on “play it on ear.”  Just making sure we are on the same page.
  3. Royals and Giants on. 1-0 down for the youngster from the Royals.  Well, I will state it like pregame.  For all of us who said the Royals will win this thing, we HAVE to think they will win tonight for them to pull the series.  Here is the deal from me personally.  I had a pretty good idea Bumgarner was taking Game 1 and MAYBE his second start and still took the Royals.  The Royals will hit Peavy tonight.  Book it.
  4. Does cool Rob Lowe have recording problems with amount of shows with Direct TV? I do.  Cable might have been dorky, but I remember LOTS more recordings on file.
  5. I am posting some pictures, but feel it is against my cause if I post the weird Rob Lowe.
  6. Still reading Inferno.  It just got weird less than 100 pages from end.  Cheesy weird.  I am still working on a review, but I might have to see the movie just to put these pieces together.
  7. I think the St. Louis punt return play will make the final 5 of the ESPY’s for play of the year IF people understand that it was just research. Coach figured out the punter kicked left most of the time and doubled down on 11 against a dealer 5.  
  8. No, I don’t believe in the Cowboys still. Yes, I expect them to fall apart in December.  And no, we won’t learn anything this on this topic against Colt McCoy.  Who can?  
  9. I am sure he is as excited to have RGIII come back as Kirk Cousins to learn of his 0-7 starting trade value.  
  10. The only thing scary about how much I work is how fast my boss responds on a work email at any given time in the day. I guess we try to outwork each other.  He had the line, which I will state again in this blog.  “It is amazing how much work you can catch up on at this job when you work 100% of your time awake.”
  11. I had “Broncos-49ers” on my list. Read my Monday blog and my props to Peyton.  That should be enough.
  12. I am 41, and subdivisions aren’t exactly ancient, and the SEC can sometimes be overrated, but we could pick random numbers and have an 80% chance of selecting an SEC West team.
  13. I think I like the Mo’ne Davis commercial. I think I still like the Derek Jeter commercial too.
  14. If I cared more about NASCAR, I would need a flowchart. I think Kesolwski got jumped in a fight he started with a car wreck, needed a win to advance in whatever they call their championship these days, and then WON?  (If you ARE a NASCAR fan and I misstated that chain of events, sorry.  I didn’t look it up to confirm.).
  15. I don’t know WHO was being yelled at in the Bears locker room, but about 80% of the population HOPES it was Cutler/ Jeff George.  
  16. Anyone else find it funny that the Bears “regrouping” game is against the Pats IN New England? That is like the hanger guy running out of rope and then the accused walking out in the road and getting hit by a car…or something like that.
  17. I am a list guy. I think that if I started a list NOW of things I hate about A-Rod coming back next year, I might not have to blog for about 4 days or so at 100 hooks a day.  I might plan a vacation.
  18. Speaking of Joe Panik from the Giants, I suppose it is about time I start my last minute drive at Panic Halloween night tickets.  Someone asked me if they do crazy stuff for Halloween.  I just said they say “happy halloween,” maybe play a halloween tune, and the fans do the “rest.”   
  19. Instead of learning of foreign language, I intend to spend time on learning an accent…for the 100th time in this blog I know. Australian, mate.
  20. The Royals have taken their first lead of the series-2-1. Get the feeling that they might not be losing much moving forward.
  21. Seriously, how can something crowd related as In-Com-Plete be done in Denver first regularly? I am not Googling this.  I personally have never heard it anywhere else.  Seems to simple to be only done regularly NOW.
  22. I ignore accidentally the list of things Lindsey gives me to do weekly, but I admit to being very proactive in selecting destination wedding locations and wherever we are going with that $1 increase a week money we are throwing in a shoebox. 1,2,3,4 for each person for 52 weeks. Think we will go somewhere nice.  Kind of want to get a safe for the shoebox though.
  23. You can read Monday night football stats on sites with people who are paid to do it. Here are my always random notes from Monday’s game.  #1-What is up with Camry commercials being crazy and pushing the limits? #2-Berman’s halftime monologue sucked #3-Some Steeler fan walked to the bar for the second half to drink Iron City beer in the second half and missed that 24 point explosion. #4-Why don’t they break down the game that is ON at halftime and only talk about the weekend games?  #5-I like the Steeler Australian punter guy Brad Wing. #6-Antonio Brown has the most useless and hardest to keep track of WR record in the world (Google 5 receptions NFL) #7-The Steelers were on their last available offensive lineman when the end of the game occurred. #8-The Steelers need to stop advancing teams on penalties.  #9-That Antonio Brown cutback that drew turf was SICK.  #10-My leg still still vibrates when my phone is not in my pocket and it confuses me.
  24. I noticed on Deadspin that Pittsburgh also got the nation’s ugliest accent. I could agree with that.
  25. Lindsey can COOK. And when there are leftovers, tenderloin and mac and cheese I WOULD recommend.
  26. I don’t know why I find this headline funny, but I do. ‘McIlroy to take off time to focus on lawsuit.”  Sounds like a Tiger story without the Perkins.
  27. And the whores and porn stars.
  28. Speaking of, Tiger, I hear you are hitting full shots and will be back on December 4th for your personal event for charity. Dude, what is WRONG with you?  Take that tournament, don’t play, sign more autographs, do interviews, kiss some babies, and come back in February of 2015.  Come ON.
  29. I was hoping for better long commercial previews of Dumb and Dumber To (not misspelled apparently because…they are dumb). Not good when I am not even finding them funny.  
  30. More on the clock. Lindsey is cancelling her plans.  Now I will feel guilty writing slightly.  Guys get it.  I would have missed her, but my night was planned around blogging.
  31. It is more fun reading about the War Machine suicide note on Deadspin than on normal sites. Just saying.
  32. So, is The Voice now more popular than American Idol, or is that just in my household?
  33. And by household and The Voice, I mean her and sometimes I am on the laptop during it.  
  34. I don’t even know who Ferrell is or if I am spelling his name right.  Like Blake.  Saw Gwen live in VA Beach back in the day.  No idea who Adam is.
  35. I think she might be staying home and watching The Voice episode in the other room as we speak.
  36. San Fran pulled Lorde’s song Royals for this World Series in their town. There is never one single day when you know you don’t know what is cool on the radio.  It just sneaks up on you.  I have heard the name Lorde and have no idea what the song Royals would be if it hit me in the face.
  37. San Fran ties it up.   Do they read my blog and then attack?
  38. John Wick is getting good reviews? And if we say “the best acting since Matrix,” are we really saying anything?  The PLOT of Matrix was good.  Not him.  
  39. I WILL say the short preview on TV I saw of the movie was pretty dope in the 3 seconds of acting I witnessed.  
  40. That was not sarcastic.
  41. It took a friends to remind me this is older, but it took that same friend to remind me it is postable, funny, and a classic.  tyler Capture
  42. I am not sure I liked Harold Reynolds as an announcer early on in his career, but I think he has gotten really good, and maybe that is because of talking next to Joe Buck.
  43. LOVE LeBron. Why WOULDN’T he tell us how much better the Bulls are than the Cavs are before a preseason game?  Dude is so smart.  And, the Bulls aren’t exactly BETTER, but possibly deeper at the right positions.
  44. UVA guy Joe Harris, though, is THIRD on the depth chart on the Cavs-that is a sign of depth I guess if I am optimistic about how good Joe Harris is and how he is not the new world Adam Morrison.  
  45. I still love the Ickey Woods commercial about cold cuts. I still think the McConnaughey Lincoln commercial is dumb.  All of them.  
  46. I think the fake spin move from DeMarcus Ware was ALSO a play that could be showed at the ESPY’s. Dirty, and Stink even said he had seen it done at practice and not in a game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UuINRB4oaLE
  47. Kind of irritated with Joe Buck’s interviews with upcoming pitchers in the series. Interviewing Guthrie and right now I don’t care as it is 2-2.
  48. It seems like yesterday as a fantasy owner hating the Bills RB scheme of Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller sharing carries. Now, in the real world, they have NOBODY of those two sharing carries.
  49. Lose Mayo? Huge loss.  Lose DE Chandler Jones, who played 84 of 87 snaps last game?  Thinking being a great coach can’t replace ALL of these players.    You are being tested on that side of the ball.
  50. Slava Voynov might be investigated for hitting his woman, but thinking it is the NHL…and either they are more docile, smarter about getting caught, or are just better guys.
  51. Just when NJ got sports betting at certain locations, there is an injunction to revoke it? That state is so funny.  I am from there, so once again I can make fun of it.
  52. I better speed up. Fifth inning.  I am 1/3 through my list.  We are officially picking it up.
  53. Did I say the Gators are the Jets in college, or that the Jets are the Gators in the NFL? I forget.
  54. Nice to hear Tim Tebow tell us that the Gators are lacking offensive leadership.
  55. Harris, the alleged 3am maybe or maybe not female assaulter is back as starter.  Progress?  Nope.
  56. Of course, Percy Harvin has smiles on his face. NYC has better night clubs, the media is crazy, and he knows he is on his last legs for a locker room if CARROLL kicked him out.  He is probably having sex with a stripper in the New York State Theater seats as we speak.  
  57. Proud to say I saw an opera there, and thank you, Mr. Newton.
  58. Someone investigate this draftkings/ fan duel thing and get back to me. Did that dude in the commercial really turn $50 into $31k?  Can’t be.  Sounds too simple.
  59. We are going to be Dexter and Hanna for Halloween as I mentioned. I still hope to see some dick walking around in a Ravens jersey dragging around a female mannequin.  
  60. Did anyone ever care about the sentencing on Pistorius once we found out their jacked up legal system and read what he did?
  61. Joe Buck and Harold Reynolds just made me chuckle with baseball stories. So good.
  62. Seriously, HOW did Chevy get WIFI first in their cars?
  63. Someone give freaking Brett Favre a hug. Realizing he is too old to throw to wide receivers on MS football fields and us care, he is somehow Bart Starr’s spokesman AND saying Austin Davis will be a combination of Tom Brady and Kurt Warner…feeling that Southern Miss bond.  Shut up, Brett.  This is all after the touchdown-Peyton crap too.  Step away from the mic.
  64. I still laugh at how my buddy, Andy, would go talk to bartenders during Packers games and on purpose compliment on their FAV’ ra jerseys.    You were the man, Wingnut.
  65. Jimbo Fisher ended an interview early because of Winston questions. Well, coach, I would get pissed if my guy committed ONE alleged thing and people kept asking about it.  But, you are #1 in the land, and he is allegedly on like three crimes, DEAL with it, bro.
  66. I hear 49ers Aldon Smith’s penalty might be reduced. Does reduced mean he can’t attend away games?
  67. Airports…  
  68. Come on…think about it. It is like Prego.  It’s IN there.
  69. Paul George is shooting jump shots. That is great.  I think we would be all more supportive had he not tweeted what he did during his recovery.  
  70. Today, the words “UNC probe” was on the wire. So, between all sports teams, the over/ under I am setting at 4.5 weeks for the next “probe” NEW reference.
  71. Joe, Not sure if you check me out anymore (the smartest and youngest Chief of Staff in the world), but the “hooks” idea you thought of years ago still sticks, still is the theme, and thanks for your input, personally and professionally. Dude was a selling machine.  I say “was” because we as a company it was unfair for him to actively sell anything to the world.  He was like a Jedi we took away.  
  72. I still hate that guy who stayed at Dave’s and didn’t take care of his dog.
  73. I am a huge tennis fan, but the biggest story to come out of the WTA’s is Halep’s rise and ass beating of Serena 6-0, 6-2. Last time she lost 6-0 in a set?  Against her sister, where either Venus knew her so well, or the loss was staged.
  74. I always believed those sister matchups were staged.
  75. Story complete, and I forgot that I stopped caring. Michael Sam was cut from the Cowboys practice squad.  Sad to see it end, it is what it is, talent is talent, and I am just glad we didn’t have to hear about it every day.
  76. Do I support gays in football and sports in general? Probably the most of all fans, people.  But, you have to make the team, right?
  77. Lindsey asked me if I am done my blog at a break. No, girl.  I planned on a solo, alone two hours blog, and that is what the readers will get.
  78. Bayern got 7 goals in one of the best games of the CL supposedly, and it is more fun reading it on Deadspin.
  79. Traffic is good, people. Thanks for readership and please tell your friends.  I haven’t asked him, but I bet I have Mr. Royal’s NFL gambling picks in my inbox tomorrow morning.  Unless the Army has some secret mission he is completing.
  80. Matt, I still haven’t watch Gotham, but the previews look good.  I don’t have time.  Baseball, football, quality time with Lindsey and The Voice, and wanting to start watching Game of Thrones finally?  Not enough hours in the day.  By the way, is it on Monday?  I can’t miss football for that.  I did that once in my life for three weeks, and all I got was CSI Miami jokes.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mznsEcZlM2I
  81. Didn’t have sound on mine. Look harder if it didn’t.
  82. The montage is classic.
  83. I am 41 and appreciating things more. Glad to get out of another dental appointment with my dentist and doctor say I have the highest pain tolerance they have ever seen (there is a crown story without anesthetics from back in the day because I couldn’t afford the drugs I won’t share and you can use your imagination on) but also that I floss more than 90% of their clients.  I also use ACT, which is incredible.  One cavity in 41 years.  If it wasn’t for that broken jaw and lost tooth, my school teacher parents mouth guard mouth and teeth would be PERFECT.
  84. Two on.  No one out for the Royals.  2-2.  Here we go.
  85. You might not know who Nikola Vucevic is. I do.  Dwight Howard does too.  Nikola got resigned for up to $53 million guaranteed with the Magic, and has the same amount of titles as Dwight Howard.
  86. The 1056th reason you should read Deadspin. https://twitter.com/Deadspin/status/524718510422118400
  87. If it doesn’t let you on Twitter, Google it and try harder.
  88. The 1057th reason, and this gets graphic. I would only click on it if male.  Just saying.  http://deadspin.com/world-boxing-council-shortens-female-matches-because-of-1649101149
  89. The GM’s say the Spurs will win the NBA championship. Living on the edge.  I still say the Clippers or Thunder come out of the West.  To get beat by the Cavs or Bulls.
  90. UGA is trying to reinstate Gurley. This confuses me.  He hasn’t been cleared.  He isn’t guilty.  Why NOW?  I was appreciating you all being so classy and now you need him back for a game?  Come on.  I must have missed a headline.  It can happen.
  91. YES!!!!!  Royals back on top.  Boom goes the dynamite.
  92. “Leafs on lockdown because of shootings” is a scary headline. Stop shooting people…people.
  93. The NBA draft reform failed. If it passed, it was anti tanking, meaning the Sixers might not get a top draft pick for the 10th year in a row.
  94. I hated the AT&T/ Grant Hill chick initially. Is she improving if I just dislike her presently?  
  95. That is it. Go Royals.  List is cleared.  Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
  96. Well, SOMEONE will say SOMETHING I promise, though it may be brief.
