Thoughts for the day…

Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for coming aboard (the boat). I figure I would holler at you briefly during the 10am UVA bball game before I get to a productive day. Let’s turn and burn.
A coach fired but still coaching and 1-2 players not happy with their playing time makes for a very awkward Senior Day. Weird.
Mark Gottfried WILL get a job quickly though. He has cred and someone will pick him up.
I agree that Bad Lip Reading shouldn’t stop with the NFL. Here is one with The Empire Strikes Back. https://www.facebook.com/206067826512585/videos/228312137621487/
Heading to the draft as a top 5 pick? Tourney about to begin with your team in the top 5? The world is yours? PERFECT time to kick someone’s tail light out and be charged. Come ON, Josh Jackson. You shouldn’t be hanging with LeGerald Vick anyway as he is a blossoming problem child. http://deadspin.com/kansass-josh-jackson-charged-for-allegedly-kicking-the-1792745374
Heisman Trophy favorite for 2017? One more year allowed by the NCAA? Chance to prove you are NFL worthy? PERFECT time to get a public intoxication charge. http://deadspin.com/oklahoma-quarterback-baker-mayfield-arrested-for-public-1792745261
Sheer numbers tell me a football team MIGHT leave some players at an airport. But a basketball team? USF left their sleeping players behind.
Kyle Guy from UVA is going to be MUCH more of a household name next year. Dude has a swagger too. Man bun and all.
Well, I guess if you HAVE a man bun, you NEED a swagger, right?
Tonight is UCLA-Arizona. I am spoiled in the ACC. Tonight is only the SEVENTH time ALL time that two top 5 teams have met from the conference. Really? Weak.
I will show you some pics from the circus show last night, but I finally found my Droid’s weakness in photos. Lindsey got great pics. Mine just got a lot of brightness.
I am a firm believer that you should look ANY time someone tells you that Gordon Hayward posterized ANYONE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdQSZjeINBk
But if you want a turn clock backwards REAL posterizing dunk, then check out Wade’s from last night. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2694898-dwyane-wade-posterizes-suns-alex-len-with-ridiculous-dunk
Hey, Anthony Morrow, you can say you didn’t know whether the jersey was retired, but PLEASE tell me you at least knew that Rose WORE it, right?
So, I guess it is filling a roster spot, but the 49ers picked up the DT who led the 30th ranked rush defense and call it a success? Got it.
The ESPN Gameday thing today where they did an Oscars theme was quite frankly stupid.
I will be rooting for Fences at the Oscars I believe and hoping La La Land wins nothing.
You been to Stout Street Social? For a place among the classy theater bars, that place’s happy hour is off the hook. $4 martinis? Theater discounts? Food specials too? Highly recommend swinging by there before 6pm some weekday.
Just one game, but the stand pat Celtics losing to the revamped Raptors might be a sign.
Seriously, I hate that the Celtics did nothing at the trade deadline.
I wonder what it is like for UVA players trying to explain a shooting slump to their coach, the ALL time collegiate record holder for % from deep.
For the record, I like Zona at home tonight, although it will be a barn burner. There are about 4 lottery picks playing in the game, but I am excited to see Lauri Markkanen play again. Dude can ball. And yes, unless you live in a bubble, of course Lonzo is a guy to watch.
Ok. The circus show. GO see it. This is the only weekend. Lindsey is going twice and seeing it again tomorrow. It was awesome. I thought I signed up for more of a dance/ show/ stupid thing. This was like a Cirque. It reminded me of Absinthe (Vegas) where there is only ONE thing going on, it is an odd skill, and you just focus on that one thing in utter awe. Based on a typical circus in 1903. Here are my Google Doc notes (actual) and pics.
Only thing I was sad about? No clowns. Not one.
