Day 3 now done. Kid in a candy store waiting for Sunday round. All Majors, all the time.

August 15, 2015 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…

NOT on the clock. Not an airplane rant. Afternoon rant watching the back nine. Not a speed version. Let’s turn and burn.

Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for coming aboard (the boat). A pool party with Lindsey’s friends (even though she is not here) derailed my couch day, but I had fun and tune out now if you don’t like post party rants or golf.
I didn’t have to blog today. I have 6 hours of couch time tomorrow, but why NOT? I have a blog. I have time. Let’s chat for a bit. And pretty sure I will have stuff to say tomorrow.
JJ. Pops.
Let’s not forget that Martin Kaymer has been quiet lately but WON this tourney on this course 5 years ago.
If you didn’t see Branden Grace’s ridiculous bunker shot, Google it.
If you didn’t see the Tin Cup bar shot from Matt Jones, Google it.
If you didn’t see the newest John Daly meltdown, Google “john daly pga championship 10 throwing club in water.”
If you don’t like Major golf, then read this thing Tuesday.
Jordan Spieth is presently just “hanging around.” Three straight birdies as I write these words (More during editing).
Some people from my work had a golf tournament today. I don’t get playing golf during the final Major of the year.
Marty, you read my blog last week and were sad because there were no “prizes.” I will buy you a soft drink if you email me on my personal email “Yolo.” Don’t tell him, JJ. Or you, Ralph. Ralph has too much going on in his head and works with me enough that I can’t EVER imagine him typing in this URL. If you do, Ralph, and say “Breakfast Club” when we see each other at the airport Monday morning, I will buy you something from McDonald’s. .
Joseph, if you still read this, tell your mom I sent her Bday gift early because I was sending my mom’s card and the week difference seemed to lend itself to doing both at once. Don’t think my brother read this thing anymore.
I am going out and playing 9 holes tomorrow before I plant myself on the couch all day. BEFORE is fine. 8:18am tee time gets me home in time to take care of stuff before the leaders tee off and keeps me well behaved tonight.
I don’t know if I have mentioned this before in my blog, but Jason Day and Rickie Fowler are my favorite players. Rickie is just playing golf, and Jason is owning shit right now.
Iwata, NICE round.
Phil Mickelson had NINE birdies today.
You can love The Masters, the US Open, and the British (as I do), but year after year, the PGA Championship delivers the most drama on the most regular basis.
If you care about my Draft Kings picks, I am presently in the money for at least my investment, and all of my players are in the mix. Except for Padraig, you bastard.
Called my shot on Dustin Johnson no following through, and know my blog doesn’t make pure sense unless you read it regularly. Like Jim Rome once said, give me two weeks. THEN decide.
Yup, he got the life I wish I knew I wanted when I was 18. And I probably would have fought someone on live TV too.
By the way, readership is a little down. Not like me anymore? Actually, you know I don’t care. I just write and post. I have my cat.
I met a guy down the street who had a Cardinals hat on. I said “nice season thus far.” He took off his hat and explained to me sometimes he wears his Cubs hat, so he had to remember which one he had on. I almost went up and punched him. That would be like me wearing a Browns or Raiders hat in my “free” time.
I don’t discuss work in this blog, but know my hat is fraying badly although I continue to wear it, but I will be IN the neighborhood to buy a new one Monday late afternoon.
I just realized this week my fantasy football name is STILL One Arm Steve. True story about my Panic band. One armed bouncer when they got going.
Want to buy me a present? That was my favorite window sticker of all time for my car. Only Panic fans GOT it.
Listening to any baseball game and the announcers is relaxation to me. You people do yoga. I will listen to baseball announcers.
Kooler, you are the shit. Lindsey’s friend who I first met when attending a wedding in Lakewood, WI, the power was out, and she had a cooler full of beer and Fireball. Best friends from the start.
We are going to Winter Park to ATV and do the Alpine Slide in two weeks. Should be fun.
We are also going to Waterworld in three weeks. Kooler has never been, but has been told about 457 times that is my favorite place in Denver.
I tried to explain my best bud, Scott, to Kooler and just said he is the person who gets me, a Seinfeld fan, has endured me being an idiot at least 200 times, will stand on the beach with me as my best man, and probably the best basketball player with no quickness at 5’10” that I have ever even heard about. We don’t see each other for 2 years and just fall into convo like we hung out yesterday. I think I want to play Hoop It Up again for my bachelor party.
I am watching this golf tournament remembering I still haven’t been to the Madison water parks.
HOLY shit. Jason Day just went up two strokes. This is going to be the one, people.
And I am MORE in the money on Draft Kings.
People, I woke up at 430am on Thursday morning to adjust my Draft Kings picks, and KEPT changing them until 9 seconds before they teed off.
9 seconds. I am a loser.
Hey, Droid. I download your occasional updates. And then I can’t even figure out how to call someone on my phone. Stop changing shit.
Jason Day just hit an approach one foot from the flag and I almost fell off the couch.
The Jays have become human again and lost a couple games, but that is expected in baseball.
So, are we now to the AL MVP being Donaldson or Trout? Give me Trout any day of the week.
Look at the RBI stats this year in MLB. Do it. Now, think about how Hack Wilson hit 191 in one year. Sure, the game has changed, but that is just DOPE.
Speaking of dope, Straight Outta Compton was great. The casting person better win some Oscars, as the acting was flawless for a bunch of no names except for Paul B. It was a little too storybook if you are REALLY going to critically break it down, but the soundtrack was awesome, and I pumped my fist about 7 times. One thing of note I did NOT know about before going into it. I told my buddy, Walt, I thought Cube WAS Cube by the end of the movie. Then, I found out that it was Cube’s kid doing his part. Go see it. Well, unless you dislike rap.
I don’t have the time nor energy to video it and post it, but my cat RULES at soccer.
Andrew Luck is drinking right now somewhere in Indianapolis. Hilton is sticking around for a few more years.
Kyrgios, you are an idiot. Play tennis in the way it was intended.
Of COURSE you are doubting leaving, Bo Ryan. I am not a Broncos fan, but thinking about the way John Elway walked away is just beyond dope, and Bo Ryan hasn’t won shit. He is just respected. The Horse was awesome. Walking away close to on top or on top SO tough.
LOVE that the Texans owner is in dire straits for a RB and still won’t sign (or as of right now) Ray Rice. Stand strong.
Can someone just nudge me when the Tom Brady thing is over? The last time I was this tired of a story, I believe that Brett Favre was throwing balls to high school receivers in Louisiana.
Nike backs down from Adidas for James Harden. Love his game and his work, but I think Nike is whiffing right now. Got a feeling that beard theme will be something we are talking about 20 years from now.
Zimmer halted Vikings practice early to tell them they suck. I think he just needed time to make sure he had a backup QB plan. Hell of a team, and they better assume Teddy is the real deal.
Cotto-Alvarez. Yes, I am interested. Not as interested as I will be once Floyd officially retires, but interested nevertheless.
So, the victim of the Kane thing was the girl who DIDN’T want to go to his place and was just making sure her friends was safe????? This thing might turn ugly.
I just watched Jason Day NOT get it out of a bunker.
I can play golf ok and get around the course, but I will never be able to get it out of the bunker. I avoid them at all cost.
Birdie for Spieth. Jason. He is COMING.
I have on my list “Giants Full House Theme remake.” Google that. I assume it is funny. I need to keep moving.
Landry Jones might have gotten me and my woman together for the rest of his life, but he looks like shit in the Steelers preseason.
Michael Sam is stepping away from football. Michael, I respect the SHIT out of what you did, but fade away. I don’t care anymore. I think I lost interest when you were on or tried out of Dancing With the Stars.
Jason Day-double bogie. Back to the pack and my Twitter post looks idiotic now.
The Giants are looking at Chase Utley, who logs in at #8 on my man crush list. His .190 average might not seem imposing, but he would be a HELL of an addition to a squad who figures it out late each year every year.
Clayton Kershaw is still winning in case you care.
I read a best LB list the other day. The Steelers had #4 and #5 in Ham and Lambert. Boom goes the dynamite. If you can’t figure out the top 3 LB’s, you are definitely reading the wrong blog. Whiffle ball, people.
The only thing I am sad about with UFC 194 being announced is that I remember being in college watching the FIRST one.
I have no idea what “work order” means on my list.
When you get a new job, there is a tendency to apologize, IK.
Jim Boeheim speaks the truth always, but not exactly splitting the atom when saying Melo should have gone to the Bulls.
Hey, JJ Watt. You might eat 9000 calories a day, but I bet you that I could eat more cheese than you to equal that amount.
Hot teams. Mets, Cubs, Blue Jays, PHILLIES?????
Thoughts and prayers, Mr. Farrell and the Red Sox organization.
Hey Vince, your UNC schools is really piling up violations. I can’t keep track. Women’s basketball now?
LeBron, thanks for the Akron scholarship, but you wouldn’t have beaten MJ in your prime. Everybody just STOP this topic, or I might personally go straight outta Compton. MJ is the best. End of discussion.
Low key story, but sad to see Snoop’s son is quitting football. I hear he is going the arts direction, so maybe that is code for rapping.
I don’t give a SHIT if Kobe plays in Rio and not sure why anyone else does.
If you can read the Jordy Nelson ESPN article about farming and do not love that guy forever moving forward, then you are just different.
If you care, Mr. Johnson from FSU AKA hit girl guy at bar will be playing at the #1 Juco school in MS.
I was on a work trip one year, and tried to walk to Crenshaw in Compton because I wanted to see Warren G’s house. Thanks to the old man who politely stopped me, acknowledged that that I was a big action loving dude, but told me to turn around. Have a feeling that even at 2pm in the afternoon I would have found trouble.
More impressed I actually turned around. I am such an idiot.
But an idiot who has discovered SOME things BECAUSE I am an idiot. No fear.
One week after running the pool table, I got smoked by my buddy, Walt, at ping pong (rarely happens), and then lost at Sancho’s at POOL. I hate to be the next person I play at pool. I will wreck them.
Ernie Johnson is the poor man’s Jim Nantz. I would listen to Ernie announce anything. He had the TNT early part today of PGA.
I wonder how many times I would eat it if I had known twenty years ago how good Salmon and lox was.
But on Pumpernickel of course.
If you don’t have Uber and live in an Uber city, you are an idiot. Cabs suck.
That’s it. Jason Day is on hole 17 and going to meet Vince and Walt. Hope you enjoyed or at least are more informed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro.
