Catch of the Day.

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. Not an airplane rant.  Evening rant.  SUPER speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  I am under the weather today and actually went home to work from home (still only 1 official sick day, off the clock day in my five plus years there).  Anyway, I have a bad cold, so this is a one sentence per hook cast.  After cleaning up work stuff all day, I would prefer to go stare aimlessly at baseball in my bed and maybe put in for some fantasy pickups.  Let’s move.  Super speed version.
2. Sorry about the mobile problems, and the constant changing of blog format suddenly, but know you are dealing with someone who doesn’t fully understand WordPress and am impressed I just have it…working.
3. I have a chicken noodle soup as my reward for finishing this blog, and WHY does it look SO good when you are sick?
4. I am over this Utley situation, and the only thing in question is how to handle it during the playoffs, because it was a dirty slide as I have said before.
5. No offense to my local peeps, but the Broncos might be one of the worst unbeaten teams at this juncture in the season I remember.
6. You have to give it to them, as finding a way SOMEHOW to win is pretty impressive.
7. And they are playing a better schedule then when the Chiefs ran off a bunch of wins a couple years ago against…no one.
8. Why couldn’t my work from home day be TOMORROW, when the Blue Jays try to come back from an 0-2 hole and play in the AFTERNOON?
9. STOP playing in the afternoon…I will just hit “previous” on my remote if you show multiple games-I can handle it.
10. I almost opened the article about the earth’s rotation and Nugent’s kick, but then stopped myself.
11. I have to draw the line somewhere.
12. Jackson might actually not get kicked out of the bedroom tonight (as he usually does for waking me up), as I have NyQuil tonight AND I have been at home all day, when I assume he crashes like a bad NASCAR driver.
13. That simile was weak and not funny, but I don’t care.
14. I have frustrated him by removing all bar stools from the island, meaning I can be on my computer in piece.
15. Not sure who is telling who to read this thing, but thanks for your readership, I LOVE writing this thing, know it is sometimes organized and sometimes out there, but people are reading this thing lately much more than before.
16. I have the Cards-Cubs game on in the background, and LOVE playoff baseball AND a rivalry that isn’t visited too often lately in the playoffs in the last couple decades in the Cubs and Cards.
17. Rudy didn’t cash in on his free refreshment.
18. Nick DID read this…nice.
19. I am on the 3^rd hour of about 5000 of that sports weekly preseason college basketball issue I just bought last week.
20. Seriously, if I could type as fast at work as fast as I type writing this, I wonder…
21. I have NBA preview on my list, but we have time for that and I feel like…sh…crap (didn’t cuss, mom).
22. With Alex Smith at QB, I rode by Arrowhead the other day after the Jamaal Charles news and there were old washed up RB’s lined up AROUND the corner.
23. Shame that has to happen to anyone, but extra shame for a class act, hard working stud like that in his prime.
24. I called Sawyer last year pretty early in The Voice show (my quality time with the lady), and I am officially backing the NJ 45 year old who busted out Here I Go Again in his blind audition.
25. Lindsey was watching one of her killing/ intervention/ court shows the other day, and was watching a documentary on the Killing Fields in Galveston.
26. Just asking, but I would probably NOT move there or stay there if a place got a nickname without a killer being caught…but maybe that is just me.
27. For you NFL players saying “the” on your cute little intro’s on Sunday Night Football, it is UVA and Ohio State as the rightful people who started doing it and didn’t just pile on to a cool concept.
28. My ‘83 Camaro had it on as a window sticker, as I have said before.
29. Just not as many UVA players in the NFL these days, so not as many cute intro’s by them.
30. I have decided in my healthier approach to eating, I am going back to my roots, and starting to replace some bad snacks with my favorite thing ever…Cheerios.
31. Great as a snack food and very healthy, unless you shove one up your nose when you are 10 and your mom has to come home and call a doctor.
32. I was watching the old school Inspector Gadget at the time.
33. Why DID I stop eating them straight up?
34. The Cubs are up, and one HUGE bucket list is to catch a big game at Wrigley before they take it down.
35. I knocked out Fenway already.
36. The way they are playing, I have plenty of time with the Cubs though, and to think they are BUILT to win it three years from now is just SCARY.
37. Congrats to the Cardinals, because although I am no GM, I would have already called Dwight Freeney, lost step or not.
38. The Steelers won, I was just starting to get sick last night, but that didn’t stop me from having a slight heart attack when Bell almost got stopped on the last play.
39. Tomlin makes some weird calls, and I am ok with GOING for it in general, but a Wildcat formation backing his guy up 4 yards behind the line was GUTSY beyond all belief and would have been the worst coaching call of the year…had he been wrong.
40. He wasn’t, and now he is a genius.
41. When you have that guy as your running back, how can you NOT think about when in THEIR stadium though, especially with all of your FG problems?
42. Spurrier-Before you break him down for only winning one championship, keep in mind he won an ACC title with Duke, won Florida’s first SEC title and then some, won 11 games multiple times with South Carolina, and was the man on the mic and telling stories.
43. Not the kind of retirement he had in his head, but not everyone can be John Elway.
44. I have already talked about Grier’s suspension from Florida, but we will know what they are without him when they try and stop the unstoppable force…Fournette, AT his crib.
45. I think I am becoming a Utah football fan…calling shotgun.
46. MLB playoff baseball hit 21 HR’s in ONE day yesterday…sick.
47. Matt Cassel is a starter again, and Brandon Weeden will try and just simply lock up a third string contract with someone for the remaining part of his prime, which started later than most of his peers.
48. I consider going 1-1, and getting outscored by a ridiculous amount in my loss, pretty decent in fantasy when A.P. had a bye in both leagues.
49. Draft Kings is not as exciting when you don’t cash in.
50. I am still getting over the fact Andy Dalton and Cincy came back from 24-7 against Seattle.
51. So, if I am not getting a new Jeep Cherokee, what will I get…Wrangler, 4-Runner?
52. I can’t help it and feel bad, but I have a hard time even making it through the commercials for Our Brand is Crisis.
53. Why do I hate Sandra so much?
54. I at least understand why I hate Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing…
55. I think Stafford getting benched is a signal, I can’t figure out why they are so bad, but they pay him too much for him to sit.
56. Watching your Google searches self populate on an odd search is one of my favorite things in life.
57. Don’t kid yourself if you think that there aren’t networks being tested in the phone world about who is going to be the next USC coach…still a big time job.
58. I think the Super Bowl should be the Bengals against the Falcons, so we can watch ONE of the two finally play in the postseason and get noted for it.
59. I think we should hold off judgement on the Eagles until we continue to figure out how bad the Saints really are overall.
60. Still mad at the Saints…could have just gone the Steelers against the 49ers and went them instead, and there are only 11 people left in a pool that usually has 11 people at the END of the season.
61. Well, I picked who they were playing against, since it is a losers pool.
62. I don’t cook, but made a grilled cheese Sunday night, and let me just tell you that combine the butter, the perfect amount of slices, the cream cheese, the three layers, and the perfect amount of time in the pan, you would think I could cook.
63. I can’t. Just that, spaghetti, and ridiculous scrambled eggs.
64. Cubs just won at Wrigley…crazy stuff and if your team is not in the playoffs, you should be rooting for them.
65. That’s it. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
