Catch Of The Day

An early morning Airplane Cast.

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.  Yes, this was a partial airplane cast.  Most on the plane, and a little in my room this evening.  Monday morning blog.  Semi-speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

DISCLAIMER:  This blog is sarcastic and is intended as harmless fun only.  This is not a blog for sensitive readers.  Know that any seemingly derogatory or abrasive statements are NOT MEANT AT ANY LEVEL OF SERIOUSNESS.  Read on ONLY after accepting the above statements.

  1. Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  The plane. Whatever.
  2. I would like to thank everyone from A1 to A51 for not needing an exit row seat. You short people are incredible.
  3. My flight left so early that most shops weren’t open. Lunchables it is for the flight.  The newspaper wasn’t even delivered to the store yet.  No USA Today on a plane makes me slightly sad.
  4. I don’t think the Dallas Cowboys have what it takes to win it all, but they sure are looking like they might make the playoffs and piss off a team or two.
  5. I always wonder how many flights for Southwest get too many people on board. Today, we had to pull out our ID’s oddly.  Someone had a miserable morning when it was all said and done.
  6. New Shark Tanks?   Love that show.
  7. I am not ready to discuss the Steelers…that was brutal beyond belief.
  8. I would like to thank the TV for responding back to my thoughts while watching the Steelers. 1997 was the last time they got their ass handed to them like that.
  9. I was honored to host a Nebraska watch party Saturday. Well, Hoban came over.
  10. Is Nebraska’s tagline really “Visit Nebraska. Visit Nice?”
  11. While Lindsey was eating poundcake the other night, I of course wanted to hear the song by Van Halen. I really forgot how awesome of song that is.
  12. My betting weekend was topsy turvy, but I never went big, I live on parlays these days, and was completed nicely with the Cowboys win last night.
  13. I don’t bet a lot. I call it dabbling.  No real stress, but keeps me invested in all kinds of games.
  14. And when Stanford has the most minimal odds to cover the spread on the final play but then DO, it is very, very, very exciting.
  15. In fantasy, my QB scored me 1.87 points. I didn’t even know that was possible.
  16. And I started Gronk, who got me nothing, while Kyle Rudolph scored a TD.
  17. It didn’t matter how close the game was. Advancing in the losers pool is…advancing in the losers pool.  Thanks for the heart attack, Miami.
  18. My favorite story of the weekend was how Vin Scully’s last Dodgers game went to extra innings.
  19. Does anyone really want to make the CFP? The entire Big 12 is out, Notre Dame is out, and Oregon dropped a game to CU which will put THEM out.  If Houston’s road isn’t paved presently, I don’t know how it could be done better.
  20. The Westword Dish was fun. Biker Jim’s hotdog was phenomenal. Had the Steelers told me they didn’t plan on showing up, I could have enjoyed it even longer.
  21. I was staring around in awe at all of the people in Broncos gear missing their own early game.   I couldn’t do that.
  22. There were even some Packers fans missing their game.
  23. 6am flights are really just not the brightest idea in the world.
  24. I really still think that yelling “hold the door” is funny. Not ready to let that one die yet.
  25. I know I said this one was going to be good. I am tired though.  It won’t be legendary or anything.  Just clearing the list…
  26. I thought we had a decent chance to go winless for the season, but UVA somehow got motivated and won against a directional.
  27. The Broncos beat the Bengals Sunday. I go to a Bengals bar around the corner, The Irish Snug, to watch games.  When I rolled in there during the fourth quarter, that place was a wreck with very sad fans.
  28. Of course, they would have been laughing at me three hours later if they had stayed.
  29. When will the NFL adopt the college method of doing OT? It is so much more exciting in college…and fair.
  30. Sad when any young person dies, but really sad Jose Fernandez never reached his full potential before the boating accident.  It is nice seeing all of the things his team and others are doing for his memory.
  31. I got my haircut Sunday. I went to cheap Great Clips.  My person was very slow.  I thought the deal was I either go to a fancy place for a slow haircut, or to Great Clips for SPEED.  Confused.
  32. Who are the Arizona Cardinals? Never saw that Bills win coming.
  33. Terrelle Pryor played QB, WR, and safety all in one game.
  34. And who are the Panthers? Dropping a game at home against Minnesota is…not good.
  35. Guess my alpine slide injuries have officially to ALL be scars.
  36. Did I see a commercial for a new show with Joey from Friends?  I was WONDERING where he went.
  37. Wisconsin might be my big pleasant surprise for the year in college football. I didn’t see them doing what they are doing against that particular schedule.
  38. I get that the rivalry comes into play and jacks things up, but really surprised the New York Giants dropped that game against the Skins.
  39. Just when Lions fans thought they had their up and coming team figured out, they lay an egg in Lambeau.
  40. I think I cared more about Cyborg winning her fight when Ronda Rousey was still unbeaten.
  41. Freaking video game. That’s what Lamar Jackson is.  He is on pace for 75 TD’s this season.  That is sick.
  42. Les Miles will find a job.  That won’t be a problem.  What I am more interested in seeing is WHO LSU picks up.  They need a big name for the fan base, but Herman is about the only one who I could see leaving their current gig.  All others have…complexities.
  43. I am not going to try and write something more brilliant than writers who do this for a living and have the time.  Arnold Palmer was the first everyday man to be loved by a HUGE fan base.  Man was great on and off the golf course.  There won’t be another like him.  Thoughts and prayers to the family.  Icon.

Going to watch MNF, where I put nothing on anything as I trust neither team.  I say the Saints win 27-23.

That’s it for today.  Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.  Onward and upward.  Peace.
