Catch of the Day. Had some other ideas, but the ultimate trump card appeared yesterday (wins over everything…even Airwolf, Scarlett, and Rocky). He remembers everything. Watch OUT

February 8, 2016 Filler

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 cast. Evening cast. Super-speed version. Let’s turn and burn.

Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for coming aboard (the boat). Why is there SO much to talk about when I don’t have a lot of time? Regular hooks plus brief Super Bowl notes? Super speed version. ONE sentence hooks as I have stuff to do tonight still and want to relax after a travel weekend.
Yes, I am now officially scuba certified.
Congrats to Peyton Manning, the Broncos, and all Broncos fans. I selfishly wanted Cam to go down, and hence you got my allegiance. But, you made it a glorious defensive clinic, it was beautiful, and a very deserved win. I know. This hook was more than a sentence. Super Bowl random notes later on, but I honestly am TRULY happy for this city and its team.
Hey, that is SERIOUS, people who know me…I wasn’t even faking the smiles and “rooting for” actions.
I read that IF you could afford the bottom line pricing of $3k for a Super Bowl ticket, you had to endure $13 beers and $10 SINGLE normal looking slices of pizza.
Three guys have had 30 goals in their first 11 straight years, and two of them are Gretzky and Gartner…third??
Ovechkin…as of the other night.
To share a any record with The Great One is something to tell your kids regardless.
YEAH…excuse to show daughter pic.
You are right, OKC, that there are no moral victories against the Warriors after your loss the other night, but I guarantee teams are THINKING perhaps there are.
Ordering mixed drinks in Utah makes you feel guilty and a sinner in general, and cross that state off my list of possible future places to live.
I might also be bitter that I drove to the Salt Lake City airport area on a Sunday with intentions of staying in our room, and forgot not only was it Sunday, but I was in the ULTIMATE non Sunday alcohol selling state in our nation.
Oddly, in Utah, the nighttime bartender at the bar we went to for the first half acted like she had just been at some sort of morning personal party before clocking in.
Being an ex-bartender and knowing the business, I knew we were getting a tab with too much on it that I would have to argue or one with not enough on it, and luckily it was the latter.
Listen…if you want the cliff notes, just watch Waiting… mandatory watching for non restaurant people who like to eat out.
I can say that I personally assigned personas to each character while watching it.
That is Pitchers before it was Pitchers in Littleton…if you see Steve Sertich, tell him he still owes me $100 for saying LeBron James wouldn’t make it big when I was watching his high school games in Ohio before my shift.
I would go back to Park City though, and maybe catch brunch at the Riverhorse again though…the view was awesome, and the Benedict was dirty.
Views are awesome, I don’t ski, but it is like a mini CO, as the mountains are cool and everything, but the mountains look tiny.
I hear this is in CO where it happened, and no matter how much was choreographed or not, it is funny as hell. https://www.facebook.com/LilCrazedMN/videos/10153837387729303/
Don’t worry about your confusing loss to Notre Dame, UNC, as it was just your turn in the college basketball rotation power team mix to lose.
I guess the rotation also included OU.
OU could have a problem in the tourney with a team with athletes that can guard the perimeter for 40 minutes…I mean really get out there and challenge every time.
Meanwhile, we have the team Villanova who I firmly do NOT believe in at ALL, so here is hoping their spot in the losing rotation comes soon (going to Google schedule).
I like them losing at Temple in two games.
The NFL Hall of Fame class has been announced, all are deserving, the years trickle on by, and I bet you MOST of the kids under 25 couldn’t even name a team that Kevin Greene was on.
Dude is the quietest 3^rd all time guy in anything I know.
I really can’t tell you how much I have fun writing this thing…truly.
I love that Cam Newton got the MVP right before getting smoked.
I talk about the 2011 NFL Draft class in my Super Bowl notes, I looked again because Watt was named DPOY, he was #11 in that same class, and that class is SICK if you look at the first 15 picks or so.
And if you pretend Aldon Smith is a nice, trouble free kid, it is even more glamorous.
And I am not talking about you, Christian Ponder.
Rivera deserved COY, as dropping one game with a team not even projected to win its division is STELLAR.
Plus, when you have a nickname like “Riverboat,” you round UP.
Glad Favre made it into the HOF, or we might have heard about him throwing to high school WR’s in a field in Louisiana or Mississippi.
Duke basketball beat a wounded UL squad tonight, but have a reasonable chance at being 7-6 here soon in the conference as they face my Wahoos and UNC after that.
Would LOVE to see them seriously on the bubble…
I didn’t know I hadn’t seen Taken 3, noticed it was on over the weekend, and watched the last 20 minutes and feel like I know the rest of the movie’s happenings.
Sean Connery had already been 007 when he became old and feeble, so this is NOT that, Liam.
CALVIN JOHNSON…even Barry Sanders is saying he is devastated…come BACK!!!
I am sure we all pondered (no pun intended from earlier) what we thought about Marshawn Lynch retiring, but then realized HE doesn’t give a shit what we think, so why should we care?
The Gophers don’t have a lot going on in college sports right now, but they have Rachel Banham, who locked in on a 60 point record in hoops the other night.
And my fellow alum tonight found out that the difference between #1 and #2 in women’s hoops is still a pretty big drop.
DAMN, she was tough to guard (failed many times personally on the main court) and made me respect chick bball SO much…no shame in this lady taking you to the hoop.
The Clippers won again tonight, Blake, without you (Sixers or not).
I wonder if Chip Kelly will pick up just released Riley Cooper just out of spite.
I wish I had some Kenny Chesney CD’s to play…but I don’t.
Delmon Young either really doesn’t like Latinos or REALLY wanted to get in that elevator…wow.
I read the more detailed story of the Manziel and his ex’s eardrum and admittedly am just MESMORIZED.
Phil and Co get rid of their guy and a great dude in Derek Fisher, leading me to believe he texts Thibs on a regular basis, really wants to coach his own team again, wants to bring Marc Jackson back to NYC, or lost a bet with Bill Walton (and his son is the payment).
Not like the Knicks weren’t USED to losing recently.
Marty/ Rudy, you will see prizes again…but not yet.
Always got a sneak a pic of my colleague…
Airwolf losing on the theme probably means we should have a pic.
Which means we should remind you how good the theme song is… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIoSPevvsds
And if we mention Airwolf, guess we should include the second loser, Scarlett.
Sorry, Rocky. You lose, in the words of Ivan.
Super Bowl notes…
- Lady Gaga’s national anthem was dirty awesome. And classy. I listened to the singing but kept having flashbacks from watching her in all of the nude scenes in Lindsey’s show, American Horror Story (or some title like that).
- LOVED when they were bringing the past MVP’s up and got Peyton Manning drinking Gatorade.
- Considering I had already seen it, I was kind of sad we almost started with the baby-Doritos commercial-STELLAR.
- I was just having some cocktails, but thought maybe I should be doing more to enjoy whatever the hell the Puppy Monkey Baby commercial.
- Denver 10-0 and looking forward to see too cocky Cam squirm a little.
- Found out our place was hosting a Super Bowl party…while we were in Utah. Avery, way to maximize your Uptown Denver vacation.
- Stewart goes out, and that will limit Cam a little more.
- Midway through first quarter, Nantz tells us “almost time for the halftime show…” Slow DOWN, Jim.
- Talib taunts, Denver D saves him for this time.
- That 2011 draft was pretty damn stellar I forgot…LOTS of names still doing very, very well.
- Talib facemask and FINALLY!!!!!! After like 20 years in a big game, someone jumps OVER the line.
- Commercial for NCIS and Big Bang Theory and I have NO idea how they are #1 shows.
- Not sure why, but I chuckled at the Steven Tyler-Skittles commercial.
- Seriously, I wonder how much money Ozzy Osbourne makes each time they play Crazy Train.
- (No comment on the replayed groin touch of Peyton for a sack)
- Players slipping all over the place, a week after I read how much research and effort goes into Super Bowl grass and how only two locations truly are providers in the end. One of them seems to be failing.
- Great return by Norwood after the Panthers evidently think he is going to fair catch it, and SO surprised that it breaks the longest punt return record (61).
- 6:00 left in 2^nd and the Broncos have THREE first downs…and up 13-7.
- Carolina fumble, Peyton INT.
- There is another freaking Ninja Turtles movie coming out??
- There is another freaking Independence Day movie coming out…without Will Smith???
- Why does this Utah guy to my left have a robot on the bar?
- We are leaving since we have a 520am flight tomorrow. Watching rest of game from hotel room. Lindsey wants to stay and watch Coldplay first. I explain that Coldplay is used as the transit time to not miss the actual football game.
- Somehow in all of this, I miss a Bourne trailer. Watched it, and can’t wait. And then some. Biggest fan without a chance for anyone else. Yes, you book readers can say you read more. I have watched every Bourne a minimum of 300 times each in full, with certain parts loaded as much as 1000 times.
- Back to hotel room in time to catch funny Dan Marino-Alec Baldwin commercial.
- 13-7 with 9:19 left in third…missed Panther FG.
- There is a Deathwish Coffee??
- Did the same people who made the Puppy Monkey commercial also make the Butterfinger flying cow commercial??
- 16-7…Cam is officially two scores down again.
- FIVE sacks, bunch of throwaways, loving watching the frustration.
- Super Bowl babies commercial and Seal must be running low on money.
- Cam continues to get sacked or throws away.
- First local Utah commercial…me more focusing on game and less on these notes
- Peyton fumbles…16-10.
- JUBLIA is back this year with their fungal cream. Being the one person who probably needs this the most, it doesn’t make sense that I fun on it, but I am.
- Ok, the Drake Hotline-TMobile commercial was pretty funny.
- And that is the 2.75 quarters…want to watch Peyton win this without jotting down notes…
- WANTED him to just say it, but so classy for Peyton to wait on the retirement announcement when the day wasn’t about the TEAM.
- Watching Cam leave the press conference was priceless. Emotions or not, nice to see that a-hole go down in flames…at least in his first try.
If you think Buddy Hield hasn’t wrapped up the Wooden, check out the final shot tonight of his game against UT.
I don’t even have time to comment on LeSean McCoy, who gets busted WITH police IN Philly when he plays in Buffalo…nice, bro.
That’s it. Hope you enjoyed or at least more informed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro.
