You got us involved when you brought us here.
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. No, it is not an airplane cast. Friday evening blog. Semi-speed version. Let’s turn and burn.

Welcome back, subscribers? Maybe you got a ping today. We are trying to fix the notification problem. Hope you came on the site the old fashioned way in the last 4 weeks. Otherwise, you missed some fun blogs, and an easy bigger prize (that is now expired of course). Hope the fix worked.
Quick one before the weekend…
HOOK:
“Nats.”
Bryce didn’t deliver anything epic. Kershaw got his first save ever. The Dodgers used three catchers. It was an exciting game. Don’t have time to watch the whole thing? Just get the tape and watch the one hour and 6 minute long 7th inning. That’s it. Everything you need is in that one inning. Six pitchers used by ONE team. Unless you have an extra 15 minutes to watch the bottom of the 6th and the base running errors. Shame the Nats didn’t advance. You, me, our mothers, and everyone else on the planet know that the Nationals actually at least had a chance against the Cubs and that the Dodgers are going to get SMOKED. Five games. Maybe six on Kershaw’s two starts.
LINE:
“Murphy.”
Lost in the loss was the fact that Daniel Murphy got to base. He has reached base in his first 19 postseason games. One other guy, Boog Powell, has a longer streak in history. Tell your friends.
SINKER:
“Broncos.”
You can read more eloquent articles elsewhere. The Broncos just got outcoached and BEAT. When it was 19-3, that game could have easily have been 27 or so to 3. Chargers had chances, but kept getting FG’s. But, at the same time, if you asked yourself as a Broncos fan before the season started if you would take 4-2 with two unproven QB’s, you would have taken it in a heartbeat.
SINKER 2: Yes. It is true. Trevor Bauer will miss a start in the ALCS because of a “drone injury.” You can’t make this stuff up.
THE RIVER:
-I like what Dana White said about Greg Hardy’s interest in UFC. He said it would be like him saying “I have played a lot of football recently, so I will go try out for the Patriots.” It will be entertaining regardless though. I hope he gets WORKED.
-Nevada passed the stadium bill. Oh Dear Lord. Raiders fans IN Vegas. That is disturbing.
-I like the Blue Jays as I have since March. I like the Cubs. I like the Blue Jays over the Cubs in 7 games.
-I am not divulging my college picks because A) I am finishing this up and THEN picking my games and B) probably would be bad karma. I used to give you picks when I was retired. Not now.
-I WILL say that I am sticking with my guns preseason. Tennessee I think stuns Bama (no I don’t, but my past blog picks override logic in this case). I think Ohio State takes care of business. And I remember before the season when we projected Stanford-Notre Dame being an EPIC matchup at this point in the season. Not so much anymore.
-LSU-Florida will make up their game. If Tennessee wins this weekend, that game will be less important.
-I am so excited to eat the rest of my free pizza all weekend.
-I have no idea what the commercial is for when talking about Amazon Echo, and will not look it up until I figure it out on my own. Is it like the Easy Button for Staples?
-Seriously, this dive bar tour by Lady Gaga is pretty cool. I like anyone who also likes dive bars.
-Wade talks about not “ring chasing.” I know you were ON the team that was built in Miami, but you seemed OK with your NBA conspiracy at the time. You are so noble to dodge a second Super Team.
-Talk about a treasure. A UM golfer received a letter from Arnold Palmer through the mail right after his death. That is something to hang on to…and frame…and put as the centerpiece in your house.
-I don’t go see many Kevin Hart movies, but I believe I will check out his next one. I believe I noticed my #2 is in the movie. Ms. Berry.
-I don’t know if I am ready for Joey from Friends Take Two (or three or four or whatever attempt this is).
-Unless you live in the underground, the Penn State is going viral. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/17792433/penn-state-nittany-lions-kicker-joey-julius-discusses-eating-disorder
-There is cricket coming to the USA in…a league. I repeat. Cricket somehow is the second most popular sport in the world and is coming to a venue near you in 2018. Makes me want to go watch that Rules of Engagement episode again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaGe7IL2X44
-High on my bucket list is being in a cage with sharks around me (although I guess technically I already have scuba dived next to a TYPE of shark). I think she meant to send this as a warning, but this person turned out just fine, even when things went wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93WiSq9TIoM&feature=youtu.be
-Lindsey and I are having a PRODUCTIVE weekend with a huge list of house things and errands to do. I look forward to it after the last couple weekends of too much fun.
-I watched a commercial of some new show called The Ranch, and thought it was a really odd but quality cast from what I saw. I was wondering where that guy from Tombstone went. Or maybe it is a movie. I don’t know. I was multi-tasking when it was on.
-Unlimited money must be so cool. Not only does Antonio Brown wear cleats that get him fined, but he ANNOUNCES that he will be wearing them ahead of time.
-The theme is just because I mentioned Sam Elliott, thought of Tombstone, and remembered how much I loved that movie and how much I loved quoting it.
That’s it for today. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace. (less of a ring with my closing since Bryce still ended up stinking in the series)
