So you think you can blog…

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.  Super speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

  1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for joining me.  Double dip today for blogging.  I am home alone for a bit, could read a book, am tired after another 11 hour work day, would rather watch baseball and write hooks in between,  have no time tomorrow at work, and would be kind of nuts to take a FULL list anywhere near the weekend.  Let’s cruise through a couple hooks.  Double dip.  
  2. KC not only advanced, but did it in EIGHT freaking straight postseason games. That is just cruising.  Amazing.  Once again, cue Top Gun or early Ratt.  
  3. Watching Cards and Giants and thus far have no doubt this series isn’t going seven games or back to St. Louis 2-2.
  4. The book Inferno is still good. I just have no time to get sucked into a book like I used to back in the day.
  5. That Ickey Woods commercial still makes me smile.  Cold cuts.  Ha.
  6. Dad, you sounded GREAT on the phone today. Go glad to hear that energetic, when do I go fishing again voice.
  7. You might not have seen the phantom bump that crowd favorite AJ Pierzynski just faked liked he took, but you will at some point on SportsCenter tonight. Too funny.  He is like the talented, MLB playing, millionaire version of me.  It actually might be on the NOT top ten.
  8. I think I have said that before. Déjà vu.
  9. Today I heard that LeBron both will be supporting the Kia K900 AND is with Dirk that the season is too long. LeBron has stories as much on ESPN as Jameis Winston, but they are…you know…good stories.
  10. I kind of like the K900, but not as much as the A5, and luckily don’t have money for either.  Plus, it would be weird since Lindsey is getting an Audi-she trumps me for speed of purchase.  Guess I am getting another Jeep at some point.  Here is that K900.  
  11. By the way. Stop this nonsense with the 44 minute NBA game.  That is not the answer to whatever question is being asked.   Stop writing stories about it.
  12. The movie Nightcrawler previews have my attention, or maybe I am still getting rid of Gone Girl from my memory. Yes, Logan, I realize all movies aren’t made for my satisfaction and that good movies sometimes end bad, but come ON.  That was brutal.
  13. I don’t get “sad” about football injuries, but I always will be kind of curious what Knowshon Moreno could do with a nice run at being healthy. Season done.  Sad.
  14. I just saw a sign in the crowd for favorite Hunter Pence. Some woman had a sign “Sharks dedicate a week to Hunter Pence.”
  15. And Pence delivers with an RBI to cut it to one.  This is a pretty exciting game for being in only the third inning.  Useless stats.  Tell your friends.  This is the first postseason game of all time to have the first five half innings with the leadoff hitter getting a hit.
  16. Announcing non cool things on Twitter are out of control. ESPN even had to say “apparently” as they found out the wide receiver was leaving the football team after a tweet.
  17. It must just feed Winston’s massive ego (or stupid brain) that the ND-FSU game is off the gambling board this weekend until they find out about him. Projections are it would be about a 7 point swing.  He looks like a 7 point swing in some respect.  
  18. I don’t know about you, but I think I am pretty much done hearing ANYTHING about Mr. Pistorius. Go away.
  19. I might have to take some time off from my blog next week. I have been asked to join the Ryder Cup Task Force.   I will miss writing this thing.  Not sure when the task force is done, but I hope to come back with some European accent or some cool photos of where Jason Bourne visited.  
  20. I have been told that my Catch of the Day is better written than my rant stuff. I don’t care.  Glad you like the Catch.  This is more fun to write by a long shot.
  21. I was happy to see the drone at a soccer game story didn’t have death of a player or referee in it.
  22. However this game ends up, kind of surprising that we are at this point because of two end of game errors by the been there, done that Cardinals.
  23. (skipping boring Winston attorney stuff and concussion settlement items)
  24. I don’t have time to open and fully read the article. Exactly WHY was an MMA guy announcing an NFL game?  Non sequitur.
  25. I like how Kobe says to the media that players AND owners are overpaid as he is about to exit stage left and has bankrupted the Lakers hopes of getting talent in there.
  26. Not exactly saving a life or anything, but freaking cool as heck. Royals pitcher hooks a fan up on Twitter with playoff tickets.  http://deadspin.com/royals-pitcher-gives-playoff-tickets-to-broke-dude-on-t-1646348238
  27. I am not editing this, so you know. What I write, I am rolling with.
  28. I would like to say you are truly not living until you read a funbag on Deadspin. http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/what-if-tom-brady-gets-ebola-1645816093
  29. Dyson was right after all that jazz.  They are NOT playing another game back in Kansas City this series.
  30. I am not sure how I feel about the guy who leaves the dog at home all night because he drank too much. If it is my dog, I am taking a cab back that night, taking him out, sleeping on the couch, and then jogging with dog in the morning TO my car.  Rude, man.  
  31. I would like to thank ESPN for updating me on a USA friendly soccer match 3 years and 9 months from the next World Cup. Let them be friendly for a couple months…quietly.
  32. Lindsey has this thing that drives me nuts. I tell her the TV is hers, and then she turns on Rocky IV…or Karate Kid…or the other night Hunger Games and Social Network.  Just rude.  And nice.  
  33. That kid from Social Network is like one of my favorite actors that flies under the radar. Love his attitude.  Not man crush material, but respected in my book.  I believe my man crush list is still something like Matt Damon, JT, Mark Walhberg, Tom Brady, and STILL Dre.  
  34. That is why I have to blog so often. It seems so long ago when I wanted to crack on the Raiders fans egging the Chargers bus.
  35. I might an entire rant of my jokes in my head about JR Smith doing Zen Master’s mindfulness exercises. Overloaded to put here.
  36. I am not scared of spiders. I am scared of simply THESE spiders.  I can’t imagine being these people.  I can hang out with tarantulas all day long.  ttp://abcnews.go.com/Weird/wireStory/spiders-force-family-upscale-missouri-home-26106285
  37. I have ten things I would like to say. I will say none of them.  I give you Frisbee golf, people.  ttp://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/10/10/cop-demands-to-search-car-because-everybody-that-plays-frisbee-golf-smokes-weed-video/
  38. Second honest try at making this adorable video viral. Tell your friends.  Doggies in water bottles.  I had you at hello.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPSomS9i_iY&feature=youtu.be
  39. I told you I love flowcharts. I have decided to start a Jameis Winston flowchart, send it to Grantland, and hope for publication.  I figure I have plenty of time to do it right now, and no telling if there aren’t more offenses in the hopper.
  40. I have been asked. No, Durant’s injury doesn’t change my present NBA prediction.  They will have plenty of time to get the #1 seed after he comes back, and I think his injury will be a predictable heal.
  41. I have read about Bengals’ Vontaze Burfict since he was a freshman in college. Probably 4 long articles and 3 interviews.  He IS aiming to hurt people.  Dude is whack.
  42. Brian Hoyer wants LeBron James to be a Browns fan. Brian, those Cowboys fans are whack also.  Won’t happen, and they probably became a Cowboys fan for some really stupid reason…like they thought they were a star in kindergarten…or won a spelling be with Troy “Aikman” in third grade…or something.
  43. I feel like I have missed the window to crack on Joseph Randle in this blog. I am sure everyone else did enough.
  44. I admit my compromising relationship, maybe missing a little baseball, fiancee moments this week were watching that damn show, The Voice. Apparently, this was the last round she usually watches.  I am down with that, but now I know the freaking characters.  I got tricked.  Now I care.  I might just need to know how this thing turns out??  This is EXACTLY what happened with The Apprentice and So You Think You Can Dance, the only other two reality shows I have ever watched more than one half show.  I don’t feel that bad.  It is music.  Blake Shelton is funny.  I do other stuff while she actually WATCHES it.  I don’t look up much.  
  45. Is that show even on TV anymore?  I swear I don’t know.  I stopped watching it.  I only tuned in for a few seasons because these hip hop guys kept advancing.  I DID also watch it for that blond chick.  
  46. They put Apprentice between Friends and ER.  Brutal.
  47. The Knick is a pretty badass show. Don’t eat during it.  Graphics are brutal.  ER on crack.  Theme music is the dopest since Bourne.
  48. I hate when that happens.  Exciting baseball moment, Lindsey not here, and I have to decide which show to not record.  I would NOT have chosen The Soup, but the other one is something she doesn’t even watch with me, so I assume she likes it.
  49. Bo doesn’t know Winston apparently. DAMN, I love Bo Jackson.  He gave him advice, and Jameis is not listening.  Got to respect why Jackson reached out.  Multi-sport.  Just a nicer guy and not a bonehead.   And likes bows.  
  50. I would like to congratulate the Broncos for becoming America’s Team according to a very small sample of the U.S. I respect that.  I feel like everyone I know and my mom (true even though it sounds cliché) is a Broncos fan, so I guess I should just be glad it is not Broncos AND Tebow.  Anyway, congratulations on being contenders and for being #1 in popularity.  I will let you know, aside from Peyton’s age, how the Steelers are rebuilding under the radar to POUNCE at some point soon.  Need another flow chart and Rooney’s attention.  And some boxing gloves and Todd Haley.  Or maybe Bo and his bows.
  51. That is it. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a  CLOWN question, bro.
