- Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for coming aboard (the boat). Let’s move.
- Quick one (just NOT enough hours in the freaking work day) before I crash.
- We have passed the 24 hour period, so you have had time to watch GOT. My thoughts later in the blog.
- Was Chris Paul busy? I heard there was a defector pickup game with 2018 defector LeBron James, about to be 2017 defector Melo, and already defector KD. Chris Paul is very important to this team. And was Wade busy too?
- I admit to opening the article about LeBron’s comments on Trump, but then quickly closed it before reading anything. I get that an athlete has the forum, but focus on your pickup game, King.
- JR Smith played in this already legendary pickup game. JR Smith takes enough shots in a regulation game. I hate to think what he does in a PICKUP game where nothing matters.
- Still leaving C-Ville matters to political writers who have that as their job as they will say it better. But, glad to see UVA’s two CLASSY head coaches, Bronco and Tony, speak out about diversity. Don’t let the town or problem diminish how great of University it is.
- One other thing on LeBron. You are HANDCUFFING the team you came to save. Tell us the plan. Your team and Kyrie’s sanity depend on it. Plus, my mentality is not sure if it is ready for an ENTIRE season of LeBron theories of where he is going in 2018.
- Westbrook and Paul George worked out together the other day too. But, for some reason, I do not view P.G. as a defector or a joiner, and he had a fishing tourney in L.A. anyway. They are the good guys. P.G. changed teams to beat the Evil Empire. I respect that. And let’s be honest here. If you think you can’t even get OUT of the East, you have team problems.
- So, let me get this straight. Dave Bliss tried HIS best to ruin Baylor before all of the recent stuff on the football side of things. Do you wonder where he is now? I will tell you where. He is coaching a high school CHRISTIAN basketball team. And this is after coaching Southern Christian UNIVERSITY. Weird.
- Sometimes the people we dislike the most still come back to do great things. Dammit. Ryan Lochte came back and broke a Phelps 200 IM meet record in his very first race. I was hoping I already knew what Ryan Lochte would do. And it wasn’t that.
- Come on. That was a funny reference.
- Was there a silent order put on Seahawks training camp? They are pretty quiet. I agree with SI.com. Might mean they are that focused and will be scary. I saw a preseason power ranking actually move them up one spot and they haven’t done or said anything.
- Yes, one of my true addictions is reading mock drafts, preseason rankings, power rankings, and anything else totally meaningless that is a list.
- I believe the happiest meaningless article I read all weekend was about Ice Cube taking LaVar Ball in a 4 point shooting contest at the Big3 tourney. Someone else take that dude down. We already have Zion Williamson working on the next Ball kid.
- You haven’t heard of Zion Williamson? I am sorry. You will.
- So, I stayed up to watch Marvin Bagley’s college decision last night (I “stayed up.” Lol. I would have hated to be on the East Coast and have to be up until 1125pm). He chose Duke. This means that they go to #1 in overall class, get an unbelievable talent, and have got FOUR of the top 8 recruits in some rankings. Dammit. They really get easier and easier to hate.
- I am an ACC guy. I have extra reason to hate them.
- Zona has been pulling all sorts of talent in these days. HOW did they not only let this kid leave the state, but not even make the final three cut list?
- I watched it and enjoyed it of course, but do you realize that THREE of the four Majors this year had things pretty much decided going into the final hole? Letdown. The Masters was the only one that left us guessing on the end of our couch with Rose and Garcia.
- I promise to FINALLY update my outdated dropdowns on my site, but not tonight (again). It is tough keeping up a website with no intern and working as much as I do.
- No intern. No edits again. Sorry. I am getting tired.
- Pretty boy got a 5 game suspension? Watch the replay. The ref for one split second is staring at Ronaldo and processing what just happened and saying to himself “Oh my God, I am about to throw a HUGE card at the best player in the world! I better be right. He pushed me, right? Yeah. Yes.”
- You can hate Lane Kiffin ALL you want, and most of us have our reasons. But, the dude can freaking RECRUIT and PERSUADE. He just got John Franklin III today at FAU. From Auburn. Guy was switching from QB to WR anyway, so now Lane can say “where do you want to play, bro?”
- I have odd humor, and find it funny for some reason that Kyle Long, a C-Ville guy and NFL player, speaks out on the C-Ville incident, and then gets kicked out of practice because of…fighting.
- Do you think that Jim Calhoun is debating on coming back to coaching because of A) he wants to coach again or B) he realized no one can understand his Boston accent when announcing games?
- I went 4-wheeling to get to our campsite. My tire got a flat. I needed tires anyway. Now, I have to get new tires. You have things you pay for that you feel like you got nothing out of, and then you have tires for my beautiful 4Runner that I will smile at every day. I am going to get some badass ones.
- To borrow a phrase from Jim Rome, I would like to put a moratorium on ANY dude with normal short hair wearing swim caps while doing laps at the local gym. The war is over. You gain no advantage from wearing it. Stop it now. Caps were for state finals in HS when going against the best of the best.
- I don’t know everything about process, but HOW did we JUST find out that Tiger Woods had five drugs in his system in May? Confused, and never claim to be the brightest bulb on the tree.
- Fantasy football is approaching, and I will desperately try to NOT go RB-RB with my first two picks, as my brain seems to run circa 1999 when I draft in recent years.
- It is August, and guess what that means. No matter who is hurt, no matter how far back they are, the Cardinals are making that irritating move on the playoffs. The Giants would try too, but I would say that 25 games below .500 is a little too steep of slope to climb.
- Stanton is just RAKING. We remember lots of guys making a run at 60 HR’s EARLY in the season. But making their move LATE in the season is rare.
- I just saw a commercial for Universal Technical Institute. Has this been out for a while? Have I missed the joke for this long? There is a school with the acronym UTI? That is funny.
- I am not sure why I don’t like the fact that Ballers brought in the Vegas NFL team thing into the plot, but I am less interested than when he was simply an agent.
- Chick-fil-A has new breakfast stuff? Interested, but don’t remember driving by one of those ANYWHERE in my neighborhood.
- Seriously, don’t forget to read Why Your Team Sucks on Deadspin. Your team COULD be on the clock.
- But, aside from that reminder, I will give you a Deadspin break today. Your loss (and mine).
- Ok, I had ONE on my list. If you read all my blogs, you know why this statement is funny. “Stupid Patriots.” http://deadspin.com/frisbee-dad-fuckin-aces-it-1797832643
- Not saying he should be a starter, but dude led his team to a Super Bowl. Kaep should at least have a job or minimally some visits.
- I think Lucky Whitehead needs a new first name. He gets cut by the Cowboys for NOT being the person across the country committing a crime, and now breaks his foot for the new team that signs him.
- If you haven’t seen some of the OBJ practice catches, you should Google them.
- OK. GOT thoughts. Quick because I am tired.
- How CLEVER of GOT to tell us that Jon is the true heir so low key, and I admit to not figuring out THAT scene with Sam and lady until AFTER Jon pet the dragon.
- So, we are either going to get an Ice Dragon at some point or Dany, Jon, and Tyrion riding each of them into war. Both will be cool.
- Magnificent Seven on GOT. That posse heading out into the cold next week basically sets up the most anticipated episode…like ever…or at least since the Battle of the Bastards. Epic. You weird people who don’t watch? Check out THIS week.
- They must have FB back in that time. How else did all of those dudes recognize each other after limited meetings?
- Cersei is lying about her pregnancy, and I doubt ANY plan of bringing a dead…dead person back to her to prove they exist.
- Time/ distance…SO glad the Walkers march so slow, because everyone else is going EVERYWHERE in the Seven Kingdoms.
- Some are saying we feel rushed in storylines, but do the math. We have LESS storylines to deal with because the show killed off all of the other people.
- Like when I didn’t think I would get more dragons, I got them because…well, there are less things happenings in those other kingdoms.
- Ayra, we love you, but stop trying to figure everything out like the first day you are back in town.
- You know, instead of being cryptic, Bran could just TELL everyone his visions. It would help his sudden lack of personality. Damn geniuses.
- Dany, you can bake it any way you want to, but burning people in front of like 100 other people is not good for business.
- So, the love triangle around Dany is either an old guy or her relative. Not sure which is creepier.
- Got my dragons, now I need a WOLF. I will get one. If they aren’t SHOWN dead in the show, then don’t buy they are dead.
- VERY surprised that Jaime and Bronn both resurfaced FIRST scene-thought I would have to wait on that resolution. My, they swam a long way down river in all that gear.
- Just kidding on all of this stuff. We still LOVE the show even with all of these oddities.
- The theme? That is my old methodology of putting a picture of my favorite helicopter when nothing calls to me and I think people might just think this is a Game of Thrones blog. Airwolf could still kick the crap out of anything in the air today.
- That’s it for tonight. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed. Will I blog again? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
