It was close, and Midler and Hunger Games were second and third, but this man wins the non sports theme of the day.

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.  Evening rant.  Speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  Quick hitter tonight.  I am traveling for work in Oklahoma, and don’t feel like being in my room ALL night.  But, a list exists from the weekend and has to go.  One sentence per hook.  Let’s move.
2. I get the talent of some of these kids coming out of high school these days, but I am tired of freshman being put on the All-American Preseason Team in college basketball.-Jahlil Okafor is this year’s Harrison Barnes from back in the day.
3. Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky will give about 15 past Duke players a run for being goofiest looking first teamer ever.
4. I love Bernard Hopkins and totally respect his boxing ability and longevity, but not buying race is part of his record’s lack of popularity.
5. Speaking of fighting, there was a NASCAR fight that I have decided to not look up more on this story so I could talk about it intelligently.
6. No surgery for Foles, meaning Mark Sanchez stories will once again make the NFL more fun for 6-8 weeks.
7. Teams will make plays at him, but my gut tells me Sandoval will try to stay in San Francisco if the money is anywhere close…let’s start today with $15.3 million.
8. It was Mean Joe Greene week in Pittsburgh. Give me Lambert as my #1, and then Greene #2 all time defense for my boys.
9. Mike McCarthy got extended for the Packers, and I am at least not rolling out of Green Bay if I am him until Rodgers gets old and loses a step.
10. The new Jetta is just downright ugly, and I think you need to watch “advancing” the look of cars with a “look” that we like in any particular year.
11. Seriously, how does a guy whose last name is Blewitt make it all the way to the NFL as a kicker?
12. When Big Ben did the jaw thing, I told Lindsey to give Deadspin 10 minutes to get it up on the site, and I think it took a whole 15 minutes.
13. Lindsey and I almost became cat owners this weekend, but apparently the desperate FB request to house a cat about to be put asleep had a bunch of people before us requesting-rude.
14. Not sure I want a cat anyway, but in case you care, the cat’s name was going to be Charlie (I basically ran 7 female characters’ names from my favorite movies, and Top Gun won)…
15. Those Kia commercials are really…selling me.
16. I am still getting a Jeep for a new car at some point.
17. Watching the Colts-Giants, and DAMN Luck has a loud voice.
18. I had work appointments right after my flight today, and I have to say not traveling in shorts and sandals is kind of a downer…but it is what it is.
19. I was at a house party the other night, and in case you hear from someone else, I may or may not have not only participated in a dance circle, but may or may not have organized it.
20. This is not a homer blog, but I am starting to believe slightly in Pittsburgh.
21. The Lauren Hill story, on whatever site you read it on, is amazing and you should go check it out.
22. I don’t get mad or skeptical at Auburn being in the top 3 for rankings this week, because I still look at their schedule and am not seeing how they pull this off.
23. Listening to Bette Midler-Wind Beneath my Wings hungover eating an omelette at a dive bar while watching football is not optimal.
24. The Bette Midler part of that sentence is the negative.
25. Except that she was awesome in Seinfeld.
26. Barricuda’s is a dive bar in Cap Hill in Denver that you would NEVER expect the quality of breakfast that they have.
27. Schedule didn’t work out, so not going to OU-Baylor this weekend, and not sad about it as both teams lost some games and took some of the epic-ness out of this matchup.
28. Might try for Bedlam.
29. I am losing interest on the Adrian Peterson court case, and maybe just don’t want to hear more stories or do math on how many kids he has.
30. Think Dallas looks over at Buffalo and Kyle Orton, glances at Mr. Weeden, and get a little jealous?
31. My man crush beat Peyton Manning pretty handedly and it made me happy.
32. I am not saying it was tampering, and you have to look out for #1 and yourself many times, but the hiring of Joe Maddon WAS pretty quick and slightly shady.
33. Oregon I guess is following the “lose early” and creep up season long plan.
34. Maryland refusing to shake hands with Penn State I HOPE didn’t come from the coach.
35. Yes, I am aware that Maryland contributed to a losing gambling consultant week and I HOPE you didn’t listen to me.
36. Blah, blah, blah Michigan AD..blah blah blah-don’t care.
37. I am not seeing any way that Interstellar is good at all, and I HOPE maybe he just goes back for the third season of True Detective.
38. Is American Idol even popular anymore?
39. The entire day of Saturday was listening to our friend, John, do Hunt for Red October lines, and I will say it was quite incredible.
40. Lindsey and I did Dexter-victim, and we pulled it off.
41. Panic was amazing Friday night, FIVE never played songs, and my highlight was D’yer Maker easily.
42. Did NOT appreciate the escalated Uber fare on the way home to get home to my lady-could have flown to Vegas.
43. Game of Thrones a few years late initiates this week in my life.
44. So, with this new cartoon out, is that thing just the Michelin Man?
45. Kickass from those organic stores tastes horrible, but I think that is on purpose for people to believe it, and you can’t tell me they can’t make a cherry version of anything these days.
46. The injury bug for the Thunder seemingly yearly is REALLY taking some years away from an in your prime NBA team.
47. If you remember the story, yes, the ringleader for the FAMU band bus hazing thing was convicted-sounds like brutal stuff.
48. Our hazing at our fraternity maximized embarrassment and sometimes made you think, but never crossed the line.
49. The dance in front of…never mind.
50. Becoming a brother and then coming in second place for Anchor Splash…is a whole other story/ blog.
51. I have weeks to analyze the college basketball preseason poll, and just still am pinching myself on UVA being top ten.
52. If Connor Cook is not lying and comes back to Michigan State football, that team will be dirty next year.
53. A Chicago marathoner failed a freaking dope testing-ugghhh.
54. The Warriors signed Klay Thompson long term, and I really, really like the foundation they have built out there.
55. They are kind of the opposite of what I feel about the Kings’ foundation.
56. DeMarcus Cousins…hardy har har.
57. Did Mike Tyson just come out and say he was sexually abused-I just assumed a bunch of bad things happened to him to make him who he is?
58. Around the Horn on ESPN was really funny the other day with everyone in costumes.
59. Lindsey is queen of finding deals, and I will not complain at being randomly in Vegas for NYE.
60. We kept to my rule of trying new places, and the deal we got on The Palms was killer.
61. Matt, not sure if they are making Sugar Mash levels yet, but Lindsey was on 733 over the weekend.
62. I ALMOST predicted the Louisville upset over FSU, and I continue to be impressed that Winston can continually keep coming back from the dead in games.
63. The New Orleans Saints are a very confusing team.
64. Last comment on the 12 TD’s in the last two games for Ben, but we get Jets, Titans, bye week.
65. I really also don’t care what is going on with the Hernandez trial.
66. So, A-Rod is part of the Yankees roster again-commence jokes?
67. Confused-has TMZ picked up that Joe Mixon video yet?
68. Melo says last season was “bad energy,” but aside from him being corralled correctly by Mr. Boeheim for a year, I think HE is bad energy.
69. Is the women’s basketball poll out-UCONN #1?
70. Youkilis retired this week, and that means only one thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7mUcKnmReI
71. Just rent No Cure for Cancer sometime also.
72. I read a little about the ref who hacked some secure ref website, but didn’t really get what the huge problem was.
73. Scary reading stuff about football players not remembering games that just happened. http://deadspin.com/concussed-cardinals-safety-couldnt-remember-game-he-jus-1653120445
74. The Chevy guy thing was pretty damn funny. I was in bed right after the 7^th game, but funny stuff.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHA8RNA1QZc
75. I think Tristan Thompson will be better than most are expecting him to be, and could put the Cavs on a higher level when all said and done.
76. Speaking of Thompson, when the HELL did the Texas Longhorn basketball team get ranked at ALL?
77. I have some NBA notes, but am at 45 minutes and need to get off this thing.
78. Question his age and selfishness all you want, but this Kobe dunk over Matt Barnes is pretty dirty. http://dimemag.com/2014/10/video-kobe-bryant-beats-defender-baseline-for-vintage-180-degree-slam/
79. I used the word “tummy” at least 10 times this weekend-weird.
80. I am now skipping stuff on the list.
81. Lindsey might be sorry that her iPhone using self showed me how to use the voice thing on Google on my self phone.
82. Kenny Trill, whatever the team violations were, I think it is more effective to WIN the Heisman and THEN act like an idiot.
83. I think Blake Griffin might be a favorite for MVP this season with LeBron not caring about the award and Durant out.
84. I have “stoney’s dead pic” on my list-no clue.
85. John, that ghost pepper cheese made the list, and was one of the most delicious cheeses I have ever had-John is a Milwaukee guy so knows his cheese.
86. I thought I knew more about who the Florida Gators were more than ever expecting they would take down UGA.
87. Arkansas is a much better college football team than their record reflects.
88. It doesn’t matter HOW they did it-going into West Virginia and winning was GOOD, TCU.
89. Final 8 non sports notes:  I like salami suddenly,  Lindsey knew shaken-stirred and Baccarat as Bond’s things, and that makes her another level of perfect.  Lindsey thinking she can beat me in pool is kind of funny-slight communication about number of lengths in backstroke and not knowing I had the best turns of anyone in my tier level in Jersey.  Ice Tea-Today Was a Good Day is one of the best songs ever.  Naps are dangerous in the middle of the day when you are 41.  I think it is ridiculous if cargo pants or shorts ever go out of style again.  I still chuckle at “Albuquerque/ Porcupine/ Hollandaise” in that dam commercial.  I am so excited for the last Hunger Games.
90. KP-love you bro.
91. That is it. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
