Unbloggable.

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. Semi-speed version.  Afternoon rant.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  For you people texting me about UVA’s loss, I am not ready to talk about it.  Bad moods create good rants.  Let’s move.
2. The better team won today. You don’t go 8,9, or 10 minutes with only scoring free throws and expect to beat a coach and team that aren’t going to let you get away with it.
3. I am still processing and rationalizing. My immediate thought is this.  The key players from UVA are not seniors.  If they were in the gray area about going pro or coming back, maybe they are pissed off enough now after this early exit to ALL come back.
4. This is the first punch in the gut to my bracket. Before it was all fun and games.  But, considering I am not on the Kentucky bandwagon to win it all, and because I still have Zona looking very good, three out of four and Arizona winning it should keep me in the action.
5. Oh, you wanted a pic…sure!  
6. First time since 2004 that #1 and #2 didn’t advance to the Sweet Sixteen from a region.
7. So, people getting on Perrantes for not being proactive enough got to see him oddly try and take the game over and NOT pass to our stars.  
8. The Trice three when the game was on the brink KILLED me.  
9. More on this later…or maybe not.  I don’t know.  Breathe, Mark.  Let’s talk about other stuff.
10. I am going one sentence per hook format for a little while. Until I feel like saying more.  My blog, my rules…and I am very grumpy right now.
11. I think Lindsey went in the other room to give me space.
12. Ok…the Notre Dame-Butler game was one for the ages, and shame on you if you missed the fun.  
13. If you are curious, Notre Dame didn’t cover the spread.
14. If you are curious, I didn’t even look at the lines today, because I bet my buddy, John, on the Notre Dame game and lost.
15. Another reason why I am retired as losing my money on things out of my control makes me angry.
16. Thanks to the buddy, John, for giving me $20 back ouot of the kindness of his heart on the bet we made.
17. Not a big bet, but it still hurt really bad.
18. I think my last post said enough about Nova losing, so we will consider that covered.  
19. How the HELL did Dayton barely get in the tourney, play a play in game, and play in Columbus?
20. My password for Outlook expired without warning me, and I have to say that it is kind of relaxing to not have anyone bothering me on a grumpy Sunday.
21. Arizona looks very, very good, and I am still happy I chose them to win it all.
22. Pic?  
23. A couple weeks away from the next season for Game of Thrones, and you should start watching the first four seasons right NOW.  
24. People are naming their kids…a LOT.
25. And Frank Kaminsky is naming is pets after her.  
26. Well, after March Madness…the show is beyond addicting.
27. I say I don’t feel old, but for the 7^th consecutive year, I forgot to buy June Red Rocks Widespread Panic tickets and now will have to overpay for them.
28. Sad for a HUGE fan.  
29. Georgia State really, really let me down, and Harrow playing full strength would have made all the difference in the world.
30. Why do a bunch of southern school coaches look like mobsters…Donovan, Pitino, Calipari?  
31. I hate Calipari.  
32. I think Bobby Huggins would have liked to coach that Cincy thug squad against UK.  
33. Why is CBS only showing one game at a time over the weekend in the first and second sessions?
34. UCLA was simply too big for UAB.
35. So, relating to Samuel L. Jackson and Spike Lee laughing at Charles Barkley’s Underwater Ninja movie script in a commercial, is there a follow up commercial talking about Snakes on a Plane or is that part of the joke that I am missing?  
36. I am not pleasant to be around right now, and might say a couple mean things…sorry.
37. Happy Trails, Chuck Bednarik, as you were as tough as tough came.  
38. Si.com REALLY irritates me with swimsuit models, videos I have to watch, pop up ads, and just plain crap, and if Fox didn’t suck so bad, I wouldn’t read you outside of Seth Davis.
39. Seth Davis is smiling as he had Northern Iowa in his Final Four.
40. Steve Nash retired, and he will go down as the ultimate definition of what a point guard should be, and I wish he could have traded one of his MVP’s in for a title.  
41. If I wasn’t in Money’s corner for the fight that should have happened before, I am more so now, as Manny had Tim Tebow come to training and I now hope he gets pummeled.  
42. Do I need to take a brick to the skull of Tim Tebow to possibly talk him into SWITCHING positions?
43. I don’t have a brick on me, and I would never do that, and realize it sounded rude.
44. My team just lost, so cut me a break.
45. LeSean McCoy, don’t hate on the Eagles signing DeMarco Murray and just back it up with your play next year.
46. I call the definition of a lack of options as the Steelers re-signing James Harrison.
47. My buddy John is internally famous for big words and random cliches, and I loved his “the glass is only half full after you tackle it.
48. I don’t remember the last time we were relying on one team on a Sunday to have a second double digit seed in the Sweet Sixteen…Cinderella evidently took the year off, but still found ways to punish people’s brackets.  
49. I now want everyone except for my Final Four to lose.
50. But remember, that no Cinderellas mean better later games.
51. I have written on my list Ace of Base, and have no idea what I was implying.  
52. I woke up today, so also assume Russell Westbrook had a triple double while I was sleeping.
53. He better keep it going with Ibaka out and Durant sidelined.
54. The Thunder are like the team version of Tracy McGrady.  
55. If you didn’t find the last hook funny, or didn’t understand where I was going with it, then you may have the wrong blog.
56. If you have ever watched the train wreck that is CSI Miami and haven’t seen this glorious montage, then you are truly missing out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mznsEcZlM2I
57. I am not lying…click on it.
59. Random blank hook that WordPress confuses me on.
60. WAITING, as I have all day.
61. Watch that link.
62. It is a beautiful day in Denver to be sitting on this couch all day and watch 10 hours of basketball, and you have fun active people who don’t like basketball.
63. I cross referenced Tom Crean liking the future of IU basketball and the present recruiting rankings, and it didn’t add up.
64. The Tigers named Price as their opening day pitcher, and it must be so nice to make that tough decision from that pitching staff.
65. Duke and San Diego State just started, and I have a feeling that I will have plenty of the second half to write this blog.
66. He is my second favorite player of all time, but I still don’t think “front office” and “Allen Iverson” should be a sentence together at ANY point in life.  
67. It is true that since Lindsey watches Snapped religiously and because Walden’s ex-girlfriend slashed him this weekend, that the story DID come up in conversation in a joking manner.
68. I have a gut feeling that Jerry Jones doesn’t care what the Dallas mayor thinks of his recent signing, and probably actually thinks HE is the mayor.
69. Jameis Winston is debating not attending the draft, and hopefully it is just because he is fearful of yelling obscenities randomly like he did in the middle of the day on campus.
70. Or, because he heard the dinner was seafood.  
71. I am pretty sure I support Harbaugh pulling out the wedding proposal theme to a recruit.
72. Mom, you haven’t told me how your alphabet picks are going (as she picked one from every letter in the first round).
73. I assume that aside from a 1 losing to a 16 in the women’s bracket, that someone would hit me in the skull with a brick if UCONN lost, correct?
74. See, I hit myself with a brick, so that sounds nicer.
75. I feel like Vince Wilfork has changed teams many times more than he actually has.
76. If Wisconsin wins today, it will be fun watching two teams where everyone on one team can shoot, and only one guy can shoot for the other.
77. Have I mentioned how good Arizona looks and how they are taking down Kentucky?
78. No pic this time as I will wait until the end.
79. If Gonzaga loses today, I think salivation will turn to literal DROOLING by the Duke Blue Devils.  
80. Thank you, Duke fan and friend, Logan, for not texting me about UVA, or maybe you are just crafting a really, really good one.
81. I think my system of the top 8 teams getting byes in the tourney has merit, would make the season worth watching, and am surprised my brilliance hasn’t been written by someone yet.
82. Kind of like my brilliant 6 team FBS idea with the top two teams earning a bye.
83. Lindsey is still in the other room, and she really IS giving me a lot of post UVA time.
84. I believe I would care more about Rory taking Tiger’s place on a video game cover if I had played more than 90 minutes of a video game in the last 27 years.
85. Total.  
86. The 49ers are a train wreck.
87. “Train wreck” again, and at this rate, my theme might be Unbreakable.  
88. It was a train, correct, because that wouldn’t make sense otherwise?
89. It is 24-11, and is easing into being a TRAIN WRECK.
90. I am not even really boozing today, and I think I am delirious and depressed about UVA.
91. Pete Rose needs to be in the Hall of Fame for the MILLIONTH time.  
92. I am sure there is SO much more betting by players and coaches that we don’t know about.
93. Unless I unretired and started betting again, I would rather watch a Snapped marathon than watch an NIT game.  
94. Not sure which one of these people above “snapped.”
95. Cliff Lee is on my list, and maybe HE is the baseball version of Tracy McGrady.
96. I have no idea why I keep mentioning Tracy either today.
97. Borland announcing what he did is amazing, but giving back his signing bonus is on a much higher level of classiness.
98. I wish I could give someone back a couple million dollars.
99. Someday, I get the feeling that Stevie Johnson is going to be a great trivia question answer.  
100. Teams are giving Mariota shit for saying that being the #1 pick is not his priority, and I think we are overthinking things just a little bit.
101. Hell, we could rationalize by saying the lower he goes, the better team he gets on.
102. I loved Jim Rome’s tweet saying something like “I am not sure if the Raiders signing Trent Richardson is more Raider-like or more Trent-like.”
103. I am glad Colt McCoy has decided he IS indeed a third string QB collecting a paycheck and will just hang in the DC area.
104. I hear that the Pouncey guys are ripping Mike Wallace, and I think everyone to some degree can give that guy shit.
105. We can break down Boeheim staying three more years any way we want, but the bottom line is that unless my dad was a Cuse guy and was pushing me to keep the family tradition alive, I am NOT going to the Cuse.
106. I despise anyone saying a college team could make the NBA playoffs.
107. But maybe in the East.
108. And I think that 1990 UNLV squad might be the only one.  
109. The JAGS are sad enough to pick up Pierce, and if only I knew any Jaguars fans to give shit to.
110. Stages of picking your bracket, and I apologize that I am a little late on posting this.http://www.buzzfeed.com/h2/fbms/curvesport/emotional-stages-of-choosing-your-bracket-1b2wp#.cbMOl9OE78
111. 28 spoilers from movies that we all should know by now.http://www.buzzfeed.com/andreborges/she-got-off-the-plane#.exMnNKn2Lg
112. I didn’t know ONE of these.  
113. A BRILLIANT combo of the greatest movie of all time with the new greatest show of all time (Seinfeld always will be #1).http://www.buzzfeed.com/alivelez/this-princess-bridegame-of-thrones-mashup-will-help-tide-you#.hb4B4zB3lD
114. An AWESOME mash of some of the greatest dance scenes of all time in movies.http://theberry.com/2015/03/17/this-mashup-of-famous-dance-scenes-is-your-new-favorite-video-video/
115. Hey, Mr. President, how is your chalk bracket going with Nova?
116. I love my Steelers, but wish the doctor over there would hold his tongue on CTE syndrome.
117. Hey, Tiger, how is your lady doing at WINNING STUFF…ANYTHING?
118. In case you were curious, Aaron Rodgers lost by 1% in the state of Wisconsin of things they all support…to cheese.
119. It would have been 2% if I lived there.
120. Hey, Gatorade, whatever Michael Jordan commercials you would like to bring back…is GOOD.
121. I think Saso has overtaken every competitor as my #1 hot sauce.
122. I feel like I have gone at least 48 hours without some useless update about the Vikings and A.P.
123. The Spurs scored 123 points last weekend, without any player scoring more than 15 points…amazing.
124. The Hawks are the 2015 Nova of the NBA, and they will lose by the end of the second round of the playoffs.
125. Wichita State will win today.
126. OU might lose since Dayton is playing in OHIO.
127. Northern Iowa will win today.
128. Gonzaga will win today most likely, but I will be rooting against them because I am mad at basketball a little bit and they are not in my Final Four.
129. Wisconsin will win today most likely, but I will be rooting against them because I am mad at basketball a little bit and they are not in my Final Four.
130. Maryland will win today, and UK better watch the game.
131. If you made it this far, email me and I will send you a 2015 UVA basketball Sweet Sixteen shirt.
132. And if I hear Trice Crispy Treat ONE time tomorrow, there will be a problem and it might involve a brick.
133. That is it. Gotta go, as the girl just left and therefore the house is mine as multiple games will be starting soon.  I hope you enjoyed or are least more informed.  I hope you were entertained.  As one shepherd said to the other, I am getting the flock out of here.  Enjoy your Sunday.  Peace, and I leave you with this.
