1992. Three asterisks.
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. Monday evening blog. Speed version. Let’s turn and burn.

HOOK:
“MNF.”
Tonight.
I had the Vikings as a dark horse contender before the season. Little did I know they would be cruising along without their RB stud AND with a different QB. Their defense is legit. Their new crib is very nice. Bradford is only going to get better in that system. The Giants are beat up on the defensive side of the ball. I like the Vikings winning this by 10-14 points. I will say 27-14.
The weekend.
The Broncos have a defense that continues to impress.
The Steelers loss against the Eagles will be an asterisk by the end of the season, and they did lots of things last night that make them scary.
Glad the Saints pulled that game out against the Chargers. I feel like the Saints start 0-4 every other year and spend the rest of the season digging.
The Browns are 0-4 and are the lucky ones to face a really pissed off Tom Brady next week. Some people might say Tom Brady will need a game or two to get back into his groove. I highly doubt that personally.
The Jets are 1-3 after dropping a game at home this week, and now get to go to Heinz Field…yikes.
I have no idea who the Panthers and Cardinals are right now.
The Cowboys got a road win against a team in the 49ers we still don’t know about.
The Rams! The Rams!
LINE:
“Playoffs.”
I LOVE playoff baseball. Love it. And here we go.
I like the Blue Jays to beat the Orioles in the stupid one game decider.
I like the Indians to beat the Red Sox.
I like the Blue Jays to beat the Rangers.
I like the Blue Jays to beat the Indians.
I like the Giants to beat the Mets in the stupid one game decider.
I like the Nationals to beat the Dodgers.
I like the Cubs to beat the Giants.
I like the Nationals to beat the Cubs.
SINKER:
“CFP.”
Not because of quality of teams, but more because of conference and schedule. I am on Ohio State, Clemson, Houston, and Tennessee. Tennessee looks like crap, but sticking with my preseason pick. Plus, Bama is going to have its hands full this weekend at Arkansas.
THE RIVER:
-You might think Josh Norman is simply talk trash to the Panthers after Julio Jones ran wild against them. He can back it up. Look at the stats when he played against Jones. He kept him well in check each time.
-LeBron supports Clinton. I feel like life is LeBron’s FB page and that I find out his feelings on EVERYTHING somehow…when I really don’t care or need to know on certain topics.
-I am treating our master bedroom like a decompression chamber in the “integration” of the second cat. Not that you need to know that or care. You might argue that is kind of like LeBron-like, but you KNOW when you come to this site you will get my opinion. When I go to ESPN.com, I simply want a general sports update.
-I think the fact that Lady Gaga is doing a dive bar is making me slowly become a fan of the childhood genius. Well, not a fan. Just a non-hater.
-The NFL made a good call in allowing Antonio Brown to wear his Arnold Palmer cleats.
-The family recipe of Lindsey’s family is very different than standard lasagna, but very, very good.
-A work conversation started today about how Adam Sandler is not funny anymore. I agreed to a point and found it interesting, but immediately thought about Eddie Murphy and his SUDDEN stoppage of funniness in his movies. It was amazing how one movie he was hilarious and then the next few were the farthest from it. He suddenly was not funny. Weird. So, when did this occur is the question? Here is what my research came up with. The year was 1992. This was the year of Boomerang and The Distinguished Gentleman. This was the beginning of the very fast decline. He was treated with three asterisks over the next decade or so that were JUST funny enough to make us ask ourselves if he was funny again. The three asterisk movies were Nutty Professor, Shrek, and Life. 1994 was Beverly Hills Cop III, which was the first movie when I checked out fully on him. Go back and watch his early stuff. Dude was funny as hell at one point. Delirious probably the best.
