Lotablogger.
- Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for coming aboard (the boat). The PLANE. Airplane Cast. Let’s move.
- Holy speed version, Batman. This flight door to door is 50 minutes, meaning I have like maybe 20 minutes.
- We all knew something was coming. And I think we would agree he deserves whatever he gets. But, wow. $87 million guaranteed for Mr. Luck. Dude is set. Now he just needs to win something.
- No, Von Miller, you are not a QB. Don’t use in negotiations.
- Not editing. This is an airplane cast. As is, folks.
- You can dislike baseball. You can like baseball. Whoever you are, it is Game THREE of the CWS. Winner take all. Watch it.
- Well, I am writing this BEFORE it starts, and I guess you will be reading this AFTER it is done. You know where I was going with that.
- Biggest free agent on the NHL easily? Steve Stamkos. Done and done. Dude didn’t even play the game. Love it. Just said, Tampa I am staying…for 8 more years. Class act who evidently is loyal too. Of course, maybe Tampa is just a nice town. Never been.
- KD will meet with OKC before the craziness of meetings begins. Well, that is nice of him. He is staying in OKC, people. I think all of this might be about possibly leaving NEXT year. Get wined and dined though.
- Things that are fun in life. Dude plays Roger Federer and wears…a Roger Federer branded shirt. Pretty sure you psyched yourself out, man.
- Shaq wants his 51st ranked 2018 kid to go to classy coaches at MSU, UK, or LSU. Well, one is classy and a winner, one is a cheater who happens to send 4 kids to the NBA each year, and the other one couldn’t figure out how to use his #1 overall draft pick last year to even make the tourney.
- Read the ESPN article that gives a song to each preseason top 25 hoops team. The article is fun.
- Of course, UVA got a Tony Bennett song.
- I am severely testing the longevity of Lunchables on each and every trip where I don’t have a fridge in my hotel room. Last night, I propped them up in line with the AC flow. I am still feeling fine.
- I think I can now get around good ole Albuquerque. Not that it is tough, but I didn’t use PAPER maps nor phone instructions.
- Read the Jackie Bradley article in SI. Pretty cool stuff about a player we are just getting to really know stat wise now.
- I got “upgraded” to a Jeep Patriot because they were out of standards at the car rental place (cue the Seinfeld of course). That might be the worst rental car I have ever had. And that is coming from a former Jeep guy.
- Hotel Albuquerque in Old Town Albuquerque was nice. I would stay there again. It had a room fan that stayed on constantly. That is my most important thing.
- Pool AND hot tub were closed for 24 hours though. You have to be kidding me.
- But, considering I got pummeled by bed bugs at the La Quinta last week, nothing could have been worse.
- My chosen Old Town pics.
- I noticed on my blog list I have “Patak/ Bryan” and then “RULE” in different handwriting.
- I have no idea what he is referencing on a regular basis in pop culture, but it is fun regardless. Dude knows everything. “You know a fun fact about…”
- GETS all of Patak’s references, and starts his own frequently.
- Basically, I have no idea what either are saying a lot of the time. Quote Top Gun. Quote Rounders. How do you all know SOOOO much? And can quote it perfectly? I am seriously equally scared and impressed sometimes.
- Blake’s Lotaburger was advertised as the NM version of In-N- Out. I had a burger there last night, and had a massive breakfast burrito this morning. Stayed one more night and I could have hit for the cycle. I am now a fan. BIG fan. Put green chili on whatever you get there.
- It was across the street from the hotel. Come on.
- The 76ers are after Harrison Barnes. Barnes is on the Olympic team. Did I fall asleep for a couple years and suddenly miss him becoming more than serviceable? Dude is a “decent” NBA player. Are we still judging him on his high school talent when he was mistakenly put on the preseason All American team?
- There is actually a show called Naked and Afraid and it has MULTIPLE seasons? Ugghhh. Pushing the envelope show makers. Have a brainstorming session.
- To whom it may concern, I didn’t have a long enough flight to go into “old lady dancing” or “steve pitbull” or “on the road again.”
- Kris Bryant is A) becoming a superstar right before our eyes and B) has had a couple ridiculous games. First MLB’er EVER to have 3 HR’s and 2 doubles in a game.
- Bryan and I talked some good baseball that lead us into best sports movies ever. Off the cuff, here is what I came up with. Off the list in front of me of our 25 or so brainstorm,, I would say Hoosiers, Field of Dreams, and Remember the Titans are my top three, with White Men Can’t Jump and Caddyshack also being recognized in their own league. In the conversation of course are Rudy, The Longest Yard, Slapshot, Bull Durham and many others. Rounders comes in at #2 if we count poker as a sport.
- But the asterisk is that ALL Rocky movies, though lesser quality, are KNOCKOUTS.
- That’s it. Just started descent. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro.
