Not ATV…ATB. Totally different.

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.  Not an airplane rant.  Evening rant.  Semi-speed version (not enough hours in the day).  Let’s turn and burn.

  1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  Semi-speed version means I am in a rush, but not hindered by one sentence per hook.  Hockey is on.  Let’s move.
  2. Mild school nights pops, JJ.
  3. Watching the Blackhawks game. The fact that Tampa Bay is forechecking so much is so smart and amazing to watch, as the Blackhawks are one of the top teams as far as puck movement.
  4. Who is the NEXT year where an Aussie from St. Mary’s steps up in an NBA Finals series?  
  5. Shame Ralph doesn’t read this blog.  
  6. Shame Marney doesn’t either (no pic).
  7. Love “Bang” and am kind of jealous I didn’t coin it.  Or become an NBA announcer.  
  8. I know I was wrong about Game 3 in the NBA Finals-I get it. I am public and have to pick a path.  Vegas KNOWS people.   GS was a plus 1 underdog for last game, and they are already a 2 point favorite for NEXT game.  Both NHL and NBA will be tied by 9pm tomorrow, OK?
  9. Shame my boss doesn’t read this.  He talks about it though.  I guess intentions are good.
  10. Thanks to the 200 people who DO read this blog though. MUCH appreciated.  I just write shit on my mind whether it gets read or not.  I think about the people who DON’T read it and I worry sometimes, but that is not how I roll.
  11. Someone at the bar ask me what a “blogger, software guy” was, and it was a longer conversation than I wanted.  Dude, write a paragraph and go to Googlespot, and you are a blogger.
  12. I plan on watching between periods 2 and 3 the Game of Thrones episode again as my girl is away-intentions still intent on that.  
  13. Shit, my FIANCEE doesn’t read this shit anymore-too much, too often, too fast.  LINDS SAN JUAN
  14. Steve Kerr is getting outcoached by a guy who is being COACHED by a player doing ridiculous shit on the court.
  15. Everyone says “who is this like?” People it is Sir Charles in 1993 and Oral in his Mr. October year.  
  16. Thanks to Uptown Tavern for ALWAYS taking care of me in my very infrequent stops.
  17. Their head bartender is 10 years less my age, and hooks me up like I used to hooks HIM up for years. Rob Hop.
  18. Blackhawks will win, people.
  19. So, I hear Morocco beat out South Africa in the FIFA scandal. I wish Bora Bora would have beaten out Russia for the next one.  Let’s try and figure out how to put a soccer venue on this.  HELP me.  
  20. I watched a Tour de France commercial-they are transparent about drugs to allow a Lance pic come over the commercial.  
  21. That is not the exact commercial.  It is different and probably not online.
  22. I can give my cat a rolled up legal pad paper and get peace for like 45 minutes.   
  23. Shortstops dominated the early rounds of the MLB draft, and just another indicator that the non steroids era NEEDS position players.
  24. I am spontaneous, and expect me to drive to Omaha if the Cavs advance. Doubt me.  I DARE you.  I have known to just drive to where the action is spontaneously.  
  25. I sat next to a Game of Thrones BOOK reader tonight. Apparently, the excitement of this season is not done, we are not done, and keep watching.
  26. I am betting it is Jon Snow, since they KNOW I will stop watching if Peter Dinklage goes away.  And I talk to the GOT writers DAILY.  I can live without Snow.  Maybe it is Jamie.  One way or the other, apparently it is groundbreaking.  
  27. Once again, NEVER get hooked on a character.  EXPECT to lose it.  
  28. Whoops.  I guess that was a spoiler to newbies.  I just called him Patriot Games guy until the shit went down.  Then I was hooked.  
  29. I talked to the bartender after who STOPPED watching GOT after the 7th episode of GOT.  Adam, episode NINE is when it STARTS.  That is why I got pissed and have been hooked ever since.
  30. Hey, Pharoah bettors, I know it was a compilation, but cash in your 315K of bets and SCREW history and your tickets.
  31. All of my memories are in my head, and I have photos and tickets from about 10% of things.
  32. Someone fix the MLB ASG voting system before I get pissed. The Royals barely know they are in in first place.
  33. The women’s won 3-1 against Australia, and my calculations tabulate that they suck and it should have been more, Hope.   Must have been Dellevedova SPIRIT running through them to lose by 2.  
  34. Why the HELL was there a “gamer” on the cover of ESPN webpage today?  It was for like 20 minutes, and let’s keep video games TOTALLY out of the sports conversation unless we are talking about early 2000’s Golden Tee winners, which IS a sport and which I STILL can take anyone for $100 for.  
  35. Hey, guy I met at bar, my NHL blog entry was knowledgeable and NOT sarcastic. Read two weeks and you will FEEL sarcasm.  Dude gave me back my card because he said it was too thoughtful.    Have another one.  As Drago said, I blog FOR ME.  
  36. I am scared of NBA uniform potential if Nike just got a contract with the NBA.
  37. No Oregon and 15,000 jersey combinations.  
  38. Correa will be a star and if you don’t know who he is, then enjoy the rest of your vaccum life.
  39. Mom, Dad, I love you SO much.
  40. I have a secret motivation for writing this blog.  I will tell you after the NBA Finals.
  41. That might have been the funniest hook I have written since Mr. Mister (thanks, Scott).  
  42. When I sent that to my younger co-worker after Game 1, he thought the pronunciation was different.  
  43. I am so mature.  I took two hooks out that called out people.  Yay.
  44. The Fitbit commercial where the guy trains to run past a hot chick and then she goes up Red Rocks like stairs is funny as shit.
  45. That is a tough one to get an image of to post.
  46. Demon Kitty is still playing with that yellow legal pad paper.
  47. I did not jog tonight. I hate it, but will continue to keep going.  I don’t lose, especially when it is something I control.  Don’t worry about me trying to star in Forrest Gump 2.  
  48. Hey, Andre Johnson, stop busting on Matt Schaub-he went to UVA.  And stop kissing up to Andrew Luck.  The only thing I like about Luck is that I am engaged to the girl who was offended I said he was the best QB in college football.  
  49. The joke is there.  Do the math and Google some stuff.
  50. The Cubs signed a washout closer in Soriano, and I have a feeling, like the Astros and Red Sox doing weird stuff, that they know what they are doing.
  51. Whatever Tony Romo is bitching about, I object to it. Something about fantasy conventions.
  52. Listening to hockey announcers is like…Shakespeare.  
  53. Apparently, Mariota is “deadly accurate,” and he also pays for things at stores.  
  54. I will admit that Winston’s arm and background fit the NFL system, but I will continue to be stubborn.
  55. Hey, Logan.  How you doing, bud?  Hoping to get up to your area post US Open.  Never respected a dude I have hung out with so little.
  56. Apparently, Geno Smith throws enough interceptions in practice for people to tweet about it.  Google Rich Cimini and stop living in that vacuum.
  57. Apparently, we should NOT talk shit to Richard Sherman. LOVED his thoughtful response.  Good job, Stanford grad.  He would LIKE this blog.
  58. Apparently, Aaron Rodgers says the Packers can make the Super Bowl, and once again people from Wisconsin think the sporting universe in the offseason revolve around them.  
  59. Apparently, Big Ben has the best offense he has ever had, and I am a fan, and I STILL don’t care. Did he mention Bell isn’t in the backfield initially, or that UVA grad Heath Miller got a year OLDER?  Maybe you and Aaron can hang out.  We don’t care.  
  60. Apparently, Verlander will NOW attempt to earn his money for the year.
  61. Lawrie is the BOMB for sending a card to the fan he hit.  
  62. And Mike Trout is his usual amazing self.  trout-Capture
  63. The Nats drafted Rivera, Jr. and the Yankees are blaming them winning 7 straight for forgetting to do something SOOOOOO cool.
  64. It is time. Deadspin “funbag.”  You are missing out.  http://adequateman.deadspin.com/are-tater-tots-french-fries-1710039628
  65. As soon as my demonic cat knows that jumping on the computer when I am working or blogging, I will love him again fully.  J 051015 2
  66. As we speak, he is creeping on the bar by me writing…
  67. If only my lady knew that during her two nights away, I worked and blogged at home during my time and did NOT think about a strip club, I will get more respect.  Like I said, not enough hours in the day.  I need to build Stewie’s time machine.  That would be dope.  
  68. Blackhawks SSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. 2-1, biatches.
  69. I need a multiple floor house to play ATB this weekend.  This game is more fun than things you can even TRY to imagine.  Think this with drinks and multiple floors and outside/ inside combos.  
  70. All Terrain (drunk) Bocci. Boom goes the dynamite.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W45DRy7M1no
  71. Why did Steve Kerr just guess at his late game lineup with no size and random players?
  72. Why do people think that Curry going 6-9 from deep in the third period and throwing a RIDICULOUS behind the back pass are ok?
  73. Why did the announcer say that Dellevedova was “feeling himself?”
  74. Why do we not feel like Klay Thompson’s dunk on Mozgov was LESS awesome because they lost?  
  75. Why did Draymond Green foul ANYONE with 1. whatever seconds left in the shot clock late in the game?
  76. Why do I feel like Curry’s “coolness” is somewhat overshadowing his emotional will to win?
  77. Why do I feel like I am back in 1996 as far as pace of play in the NBA Finals and the Warriors don’t notice it?
  78. Why do I feel like JR Smith winning ANYTHING is a crime?  
  79. Why do I feel like Dellevedova is that Kurt Rambis guard version guy at the YMCA with a knee brace that smells and will beat you one way or the other?  
  80. Is having a cat meaning you watch him when you are home playing with everything, and then wonder how he won’t piss on anything you care about when you are not at home before you come home?
  81. I have cool pics of Roller Derby, ATB, and Chalk Art-they didn’t make the cut as I have no time.
  82. I almost fell off the couch during the new Ted commercial where he asked the chick “what he do to YOU?” She said “F. Scott Fitzgerald.”  
  83. I haven’t seen Entourage, but already love the Marky Mark line of “I will make 20 Ted’s if I can.”
  84. Mission Impossible and James Bond new movies are coming out at similar times?  Can’t we team up on the action movies that will never die?  
  85. If I die, just know that Easy Cheese killed me. Write it on my tombstone.  I don’t care.  
  86. If the Blackhawks win, I am posting fun pictures. If they don’t, I will just post text.
  87. They won as you noticed.
  88. The most BAD ass part of Chris Heston getting a no hitter is that he went 2-4 and 2 RBI’s.
  89. Please, McDonald’s, WAIT to cancel the sirloin burgers.  I will get one tomorrow or this weekend.  
  90. I have personally cancelled the 2026 World Cup bidding, because I have an inside person who is going to get it in Rome or Australia. Don’t tell anyone.  
  91. I will have my Crocodile Dundee jokes READY.  
  92. Can you IMAGINE how much I would blog if I wasn’t engaged to Lindsey (she is gone tonight)? I would get NOTHING done outside of work.
  93. Glad we have reunited thugs, Miami Dolphins. Mosley and Suh.
  94. I went to lunch today and read a new NBA mock draft for literally 35 minutes.
  95. The Kings GM to the Nuggets has hard core Nuggets fans longing for an all European squad with Cousins in the middle. Yes, I am talking to YOU, boss.
  96. Cousins will be GREAT in the right situation.
  97. I would never have thought Forbes would have released Money would be the highest paid athlete in the world. I must be missing something.  
  98. In the first period of the hockey game at bar, Kiss Me Softly came on. Didn’t feel right.  They change it ¾ the way through the period.  THANK you.  Hockey is the toughest sport on earth.  Can’t play that song.
  99. I really don’t care if the US beat Germany in a friendly. No Euro, no league, no WC, no care.
  100. I will pay someone with a multi level house to use it this weekend for my new game.
  101. That is it. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro (.328, 20, 47, .463).
