Airplane Rant.

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.  Short flight-Tulsa to Denver.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  But writing from the plane.  We are using all sorts of transportation methods today.
2. So much for pleading for patience like normal people when you get hired by a recent perennial loser. Joe Maddon tells us the Cubs will make the playoffs next year, will win the World Series, and had some of his inaugural press conference at a local bar.  He HAS seen the roster, right?  Or was he drinking before making those comments?  Very nice of him to offer to buy everyone drinks though.
3. In all seriousness, I doubt he can pull playoffs in one year. Theo would have to have a pickup or two in free agency…a pickup or two in free agency that didn’t violate him doing the rebuild the “right” way.
4. And this rebuild I hope turns out a little better than the right method of rebuilding is turning out in Houston.
5. Last night, the Colts looked the possible Super Bowl contender that they are, and the Giants looked like…the Giants…whoever that team is supposed to be. The Giants STILL have not lost or won a game by less than 10 points.  Of course, that little tidbit was more interesting when they were not LOSING every game…which is now happening.
6. I will save you from the rest of my notes from that game last night. Long two days of driving and flying with a work trip to the Springs in the works tomorrow gets you and me off the hook.
7. I am pretty sure the year will be 2025 and Reggie Wayne will still be playing and playing well. Maybe he will just be a receiver for Luck’s entire career.  Sounds like a plan.
8. One of these times when I visit Tulsa, I should probably actually make it to downtown Tulsa.
9. I have a loss limit when I travel (since I sell to casinos), but really wish the downtime lasts more than 10 minutes my next trip.   Got killed.  Much more in the room time than expected.
10. I have a good feeling that Chris Paul’s triple double the other night will be far from his last. I think he half owns the NBA this year.  Funny talking about already the best PG in the league having a “coming out” party.  I just think he will raise the bar.  And win this whole thing possibly.
11. A-Rod paid off a cousin to keep quiet about his PED use. He is such a master at finding new and improved ways of coming off to us more than the idiot he already does.
12. Blah blah blah…Manziel phone tweet was a prank…blah blah blah…
13. Captain says it is supposed to get bumpy.  Right on.  Bring the noise.
14. The NBA Southwest Division is just sick. Look at it.  The Pelicans are the worst team in there and they are expected to rise up this year with their young star maturing another year.  The entire year will be those teams beating the hell out of each other.  Houston and Memphis NO one wants in any part of the playoffs, San Antonio is a probably championship team, Dallas has the pieces and experience back to make a solid deep run, and the Pelicans are on the up and up.  TOUGH decision.
15. Please tell me you don’t want a hook on the NASCAR thing. Here you go.  It wasn’t the drivers who got busted.  It was the other people on each team.    I completed you.  All I know is that if a bunch of drivers are OUT of the championship hunt, and people still race on teams, I have no idea what those out of it drivers are supposed to be doing except irritating the championship people.  Seems like just a lot of extra cars on the track.  Just have the people IN it drive.  Confused.
16. A. P. pleads no contest, the teammates say they will welcome him back, and he BETTER not be on a football field THIS year. I get it.  To fight it, Goodell goes against that badass lawyer who will basically tear down how he knew about the video this whole time.  Hey.  That sounds fun, and A.P. has to be guilty of enough to keep him off the field.
17. Plus, I dropped him in fantasy from a shallow point of view.
18. Kobe gave some advice to K.D. about watching his team while hurt and what he can learn. D. liked his advice.  He allegedly also gave him advice on how to eat up your team’s entire salary late in your career.
19. Steelers fan pulls Steelers fan shit and gets kicked out of stadium for being drunk. Dude was an IRS employee, and apparently tried to pay off the cops.  You are in trouble on MULTIPLE levels, bro.  I am sure if I thought long enough, I could think of a joke for this, but I can’t.
20. So, Damian Lillard’s tweets from 3 years ago are surfacing about LeBron James. I thought the idea of Twitter was right NOW.  I don’t care what they said, and I assume James doesn’t care what Lillard said three years ago either.
21. I am squeezing this rant in today since my day is way too busy tomorrow.
22. There hasn’t been turbulence yet…
23. It will be fun watching this two different team approach from Cal and Kentucky this year. I guess it takes out him using any strategic methods at all so I can crack on his more.
24. Jerry Rice thinks Jim Harbaugh is gone after this year. I think he might be gone PRESENTLY with the way that team is playing.  I guess he is already sending out resumes and is checked out.
25. Quiet little story you wouldn’t forget about regarding the 49ers. Marcus Lattimore is back for them and deciding on his plan.  When healthy, that dude was a college stud and has everything physically to be a fantastic NFL back.
26. What is going on in Tom Crean’s world at Indiana? Two guys involved in this crash thing, and two players suspended for using drugs.  That two year run from Crean’s crew was literally the fastest “back to prominence” run I have ever seen.
27. Deadspin can be funny, but also high quality serious. Google “interstellar deadspin” for a quality review on that flick.”
28. Google “deadspin flip saunders big balls.” This is not a movie review.
29. And for the best one, Google “deadspin florida rapper wind blows into sea.”
30. I am unsure who is playing Steve Jobs in the upcoming movie. Christian Bale and friends are confusing me.
31. I always talk about how there seem to be no northeastern sounding NFL refs, and now I have decided all pilots have southern accents also.
32. The fact that OUIJA is the #1 movie in American right now really, really disgusts me. Why?  No, I haven’t seen it, but I assume it is like every single bad horror movie outside of The Conjuring in the last 20 years.  I would rather have another Shining.
33. That is it. I am tired and going to use this whole row I have at the back of the plane to close my eyes.  I hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
