Yesterday’s airplane rant. Talk to you all tomorrow. Enjoy the NBA draft.

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.  Airplane rant.  Evening rant.  Speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

  1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  Well, once again we are on a plane.  Middle seat again.   No room to get WIFI and work efficiently.  Maybe room to get UVA game after this quick blog.  Whatever.  Got to do one sentence hooks again.  In and out, which is funny since I just had In-N-Out Burger yesterday.  Let’s move
  2. Had the kind of secret menu item “Animal Style” from In-N-Out and thought it was slightly overrated.
  3. Well…in comparison to all of their other great food items.
  4. I never really thought about how such a large state LIKE California HAS to have large area of NOTHING, but north of Sacramento it certainly does.
  5. Getting past how weird it is the tripping NFL Jets trainer who P Diddy was involved with in his gymnasium fight, I just want to know if we are allowed to officially use “I will P Diddy you” or “I will kettlebell you” to people moving forward.
  6. Guess that would only work in a gym.
  7. And fights in gyms really only happen in Jersey, New York, and within 50 and maybe 75 mile concentric circles outside of Philly (which also includes more Jersey mind you).
  8. I travel to casinos, make time for the pool if possible, but had an experience this week where I checked in after the pool closed, and left before it opened.
  9. That is a serious pool problem.
  10. I have said it before, but how do people on the East coast tolerate sporting events starting at 8 or 9pm and how do Cali people get home from work to catch the beginning of things?
  11. The Cavs right now are sending their less talented overall, but postseason STUD in Brandon Waddell to the mound tonight, and hopefully I can post this hook with a smile by the time I get home tonight as the dude is 4-0 in CWS games.
  12. I HATE getting home late from work flights, but when you squeezed as much work in the last two days as I did, that is the price.
  13. I caught all of Columbia’s trash talking before the women’s World Cup match but somehow have missed all of their postgame comments-why is that I wonder?
  14. I HATE when the pilot tells us when we will get there early as it NEVER pans out that way-just surprise me if it works out.
  15. I HATE also when the pilot then is delayed after that promised arrival and then doesn’t tell you ANYTHING.
  16. (Upon editing, we sat in the plane waiting for another plane to move for 25 minutes after arriving 10 minutes early).
  17. This is a year in the NBA draft I actually expect a couple MAJOR trades, as the rumblings are a little going into it, and there are situations that must be resolved.
  18. So, I admitted that I hadn’t heard about the possible De La Hoya comeback, now I have, and I think he is nuts and his legacy is just fine as it is.
  19. Speaking of legacies, win or lose, the Brady legacy will be fine and vague possible sins will be forgiven, but I think this appeal drags on for a while.
  20. What the HELL are they talking about “greatest ally crap?”
  21. Once again, I fault for the Pete Rose HOF thing up to this point, but him betting while being a player crosses the line…sad.
  22. I believe that when a restaurant says its burger comes “wrapped” in bacon, they better not be lying and I recently experienced that lie.
  23. Putting a bunch of bacon on it was NOT the reason I ordered it.
  24. I have heard a lot of Def Leppard over the last 48 hours oddly with me NOT playing it.
  25. My colleague was listening to Photograph and said “how can you NOT like this song?”
  26. I concur without a doubt.
  27. I think the radio stations outside Sacramento think the Police are still an item.
  28. I still don’t understand why the Mavs are trading Monta Ellis.
  29. I still don’t understand why there is a Confederate flag in South Carolina.
  30. I think the Ghostbusters slot machine people also made the Superman one I discovered the other day, and I am not sure when exactly I became anywhere NEAR a slot person.
  31. My colleague was drinking Coors Original oddly last night, I joined him, and know that you have to say the original style “Cuurrrrrs.”
  32. Maybe just a cowboy from Colorado thing from when I was bartending.
  33. The NHL is adopting the 3 on 3 format for overtime, and I think that sounds like they just want a quicker game and more spacious fun.
  34. No more pitchers getting MVP’s, stop talking about Chris Archer being the next one (9-4, 2.10 ERA), they only pitch every five days, and give the AL MVP right now to Donaldson or Cabrera.
  35. Harper or Stanton in the NL, and Harper if he can stay healthy.
  36. I thought the dude who caught the baseball with a baby in his hands was pretty dope.
  37. Van Halen Dreams is playing on my shuffle right now, is one of the best songs ever, and SHOULD have been my graduation song if the teacher dude would have been a little more hip.
  38. Mr. Flutie I believe, and he made us do country anniversary stuff.
  39. Yes-Van Halen was very hip at that time.
  40. The Blazers are trading away Nicolas Batum, and know this is two pronged: saves $4 million to sign Aldridge and mixes things up a little on a team not yet getting over the hump.
  41. (and as I edit it this morning, it comes out Aldridge definitely wants out, so THAT plan didn’t work).
  42. Kevin Love will opt oout of his Cavs contract, meaning he must really hate LeBron, winning, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
  43. I hate the last one since it closes at 5pm whenever I have traveled there for work.
  44. About TIME the NCAA is proposing something where the kids can go BACK to school if they hear in NBA pre-draft camps they aren’t going high enough.
  45. The Cavs picked up the Mozgov salary and now just need to convince the coach to play him when the title is on the line.
  46. George O Leary is now an AD AND football coach, and not bad for a resume lying guy from back in the day.
  47. That is it.  Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.  Peace.
