More to come…
One sentence per hook, as I DO have to work on the plane tomorrow, and 4am comes early…
- I feel like I know CA road types pretty well at this point in my life.
- Quick breakdown on KD since I couldn’t add it last time. A) There is only one basketball to go around, “organic” or not. B) Charles Barkley said he never wanted to “join” Larry Bird…he wanted to beat him his way. C) Best decision for the title legacy, but I would have given it one more run with Russell.
- If I don’t go to bed in the next 30 minutes, I might get hungry, meaning I might eat the Lunchables that have been in my bag for 10 hours today. I wouldn’t rule out me eating them. I won’t die. Promise.
- Yes, I realize that was more than one sentence, but Lunchables are the key to survival on a work trip for me.
- Plus, my Hampton Inn room has a WALKIN shower, which is the summit of my feelings for any hotel room.
- Yes, I am addicted to Instagram now.
- No, my intern is not with me, so this blog is again unedited…sorry for grammatical errors.
- If we doubted that Ronaldo would not step up to the plate, then we didn’t know the weak side of the draw he would be on, how good looking the dude is, or that we forget what they are ranked in the world.
- Said here pre-EURO France would take this though, so sticking with that prediction (beat Germany today).
- Patak had to deal with me having free Sirius radio on this trip in my rental car like my wife does constantly, meaning Dokken, Poison, Whitesnake, etc…God bless hair nation.
- Seriously, I will play it and sing every song, and scare people of how I know every single guitar note from Wait by White Lion.
- No, I plan on watching the Rubik’s Cube AGT thing this weekend…caught the moment RIGHT after it happened and the amazed look of the judges.
- For the record, my brother once again was at 1:45 in solving it, and I was at 2:20.
- The cutoff was 1:00 for That’s Incredible.
- And he ended up a power lifter too…badass.
- Marty/ Rudy. NSCIWY.
- No prizes.
- I think “more to come” is my new favorite professional and personal phrase.
- Patak is taking the “observer” approach, meaning he thinks my blog ideas will become tainted since he spends a lot of time with me on the road, and not reading it is the best solution.
- My favorite phrase by him is “Interestingly enough…” or “An interesting story about (pop culture person) is…”
- Patak introduced me to “Pokemon evolution celebrities” this week and I barely even knew what Pokemon was before this week.
- Thoughts and prayers to Dallas, and writers with full time jobs can write the remorse better.
- I will now move eventually because of A) Dallas and random acts of violence and B) Trump.
- And the Nuggets thought they would get Wade…let’s start the “hometown” Curry rumors right NOW since he won’t average 30 next year.
- Just when we thought Jon Jones had it figured out…
- I am sad about Venus not making the Finals, but she is still in doubles, and VALIANT effort by a tennis player considered old.
- Not enough time to retell the story about me being one question away from being on Dream Job after about 30 tests, but I aced the Williams question, and will never divulge the question I missed.
- Then, I went ape shit and security had to walk me out…buy me a couple beers and I will tell you the amazing story of me walking by ESPN Zone on a Tuesday afternoon years ago.
- Why do I consider the ESPN Body Issue classy, but get pissed about SI giving me popups on their Swimsuit Issue?
- I heard Cleveland/ Believeland is rejoicing after getting Dunleavy.
- Ralph and Rob R. and Ben don’t read this…I can rag on Cleveland all I want.
- The Steelers still own the Browns, and they should have transferred to being Ravens fans, since they ARE the Browns.
- Nice because the Steelers will NEVER change towns so I don’t have to face that decision.
- Before you write off Federer because he might be tired from coming back from 0-2 in a match, let’s remember that he set the precedent for fitness in tennis about 10 years ago.
- Russell Wilson married that weird Ciara chick, and now I have to care about what she sings?
- I think the Harvey/ Mets/ injury issue is not an issue unless we are talking about playoffs…or the World Series.
- Dammit…Tsonga lost again…meaning I pick him as my dark horse in the US Open.
- Like the 19th straight time he is my dark horse.
- Another year, and another time that no US men are in contention at a Slam.
- Let’s just hold a best of three match with Isner and Querrey with lots of money on the line.
- I have been traveling, but maybe Steve Nash will come back to the Suns with Barbosa there for old times sake.
- Rajon Rondo says the Bulls are Butler’s team…until the first, tiniest, smallest thing goes wrong in practice or a game and he starts bitching.
- I went to Waterfront Grill for dinner tonight in SD, apparently it is legendary, and the fact that Bill Walton held a fund raiser there one time made my day.
- “That was the best bounce pass over the midcourt line I have ever seen by a left handed small forward from a town east of the Mississippi.”
- Damn, I love that guy.
- “Are you old enough to…?”
- I am presently reading a book…just kidding…reading the college football preview for 2016 and UVA is preseason ranked 111.
- I gave an oral yes to there when we were #1.
- Not because I was a football player, but because I wanted to go to a school where I could run into punks on the street and say “I am from UVA, which is smart AND athletic.”
- Ok, that is too long of a smack talk, but you catch me drift.
- It says Baylor’s backup QB transferred because of being a backup, but I beg to differ.
- I am staying at a Hampton and purposefully asked them about restaurants in the area so I would NOT go to where they “recommended.”
- When I was singing glam rock in the car with my software Director, he said it was good to see me let loose, because I “am a stiff” at work…let’s keep that idea going, y’all.
- He obviously does not read this blog.
- I was on campus at UVA for 5 days and I have not stopped saying y’all at any point in my life.
- Rudy, one Monk next week when I am in the office, because although I know you only read this for prizes, at least you read it all the way through. And readers is all I really care about.
- Seven followers away from 500 on Twitter…come ON, 500.
- I took 10 minutes to stop and smell the roses as the water was across the street…and my tattoo IS “water.”
- Pictures haven’t loaded to email yet (hope they do as I deleted them-I will post them this weekend).
- And for those people who missed it yesterday, here is my sales mentor at his best. Love that guy.
- That’s it. I just wrote this in 26 minutes as I type faster when I blog. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
