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).  Been a couple days and I have to catch the end of Williams happy hour, so this will be one sentence per hook version.  Kind of fun like that anyway, as the short funny hooks leave things kind of vague.  Let’s move.
2. Couple days off were because you wouldn’t blog either if you were in Vegas…
3. College picks at the end.
4. Lindsey is out of town as of 30 minutes ago, and I have no plans at ALL. So, JJ, starting the pops right about now as I seem to figure unknown things out after a few.
5. If Notre Dame wins tomorrow (which I don’t think they will), all of THOSE people we know who have been following Notre Dame for no apparent reason since they left the womb will SURELY come out.
6. Kevin Kiermaier, an outfielder, threw a ball home at 100 MPH and I am not sure if I am impressed or not…no bearings.
7. I dropped her off, came home, and for some reason put in Van Halen, possibly the best album of all time, on my tiny boom box sound system.
8. Kind of easier walking around work these days in sales when I am rolling…
9. Just like a weightlifter is sore in areas of his body when he tries to swim for the first time, riding a mechanical bull the other night left me sore in spots I hadn’t thought about.
10. My inner thighs STILL are sore.
11. Max Scherzer pretending to choke Bryce Harper this week made me positive that the clubhouse is on Bryce’s side and that Papelbon will have yet another location next year.
12. Papelbon is like a slightly different version of yesterday’s John Rocker.
13. And Bryce Harper STILL should be running out ALL balls…come on man.
14. That is a lot of toilet paper, Jets, but I GET it and probably would do the same thing.
15. Kentucky, after getting beat out on a few players in the last couple months, successfully pulled Wenyen Gabriel (5 star recruit) this week, and the kid made a JR Smith like jump in the rankings in like one tournament from the 80’s to the 20’s.
16. But, he didn’t get to have sex with escorts and possibly their daughter at the same time.
17. Too soon?
18. Not really sure who cares if we are talking about hypotheticals on Fournette in the NFL, as everything I have seen indicates he will be a stud.
19. He reminds me of A.P. and how he looked the first year or so.
20. Steve Kerr will be fine I am sure-just being cautious.
21. Remember when things would relatively slow down for the Boston-NYY series whenever it happened?
22. If you live in a non sports vacuum and haven’t heard about the O’Bannon trial, you will…trust me.
23. Nice win this week for that crew, although, as expected, NO one has the SOLUTION to the problem…we just know they should be paid SOMETHING.
24. Once again, my fear is that polo players women’s shot putters at random schools are getting the same stipend that high profile basketball players at big time teams are getting.
25. Slippery slope…
26. I am not really ready to talk about the Steelers-Ravens game, but I had it on the plane to watch and then caught the OT I missed getting my bag this afternoon when there was a re-air.
27. My level of blame goes A) Scobee B) Tomlin C) Vick.
28. Client dinner in Vegas was at Carmine’s, and some other people were picky and critical, but good Italian food is just good Italian food to me.
29. If somehow the Astros fall off the cliff of success this year, people, remember they were built for the NEXT two years for winning the thing.
30. The Cards might have just won the quietest 100 games I have remember.
31. If the Jays make the World Series, I just hope to not have flashbacks.
32. I played some cards, and can say that I never bet more than $50 on a hand and never was down…THAT is the way things are supposed to go.
33. I left the table successfully because it is not like I can’t play cards NEXT week on another casino work trip.
34. Pitbull and Mike Tyson were at the work conference I was at…kind of cool, although talking to too many clients to meet them.
35. I just would go up to Mike Tyson and ask him to do the Phil Collins drum roll from Hangover.
36. I didn’t realize that the Cosmopolitan just had a random huge pool table in it.
37. I didn’t realize that people think it is classy to go to the Cosmo Chandelier Bar and eat flower things that make your mouth feel electric.
38. They were $2, and I would buy a blank sheet of notebook paper in Vegas for $2.
39. I felt SO out of place at that bar, as I prefer to be around dart boards, pool tables, and wear my hat backwards.
40. That is actually where I am going when done this thing.
41. If I am in Vegas, I go to Margaritaville, as the prices are fair for one of the stronger drinks on the Strip.
42. I hate it like the MOST when I get in a line and no one gets behind me at some point.
43. Read the article on Grantland and find out if your name indicates whether you are hip or should be dead or not…I would start with googling “deadest names grantland espn.”
44. I would really like to put in pics to this fun blog, but not time.
45. I would really like to edit this blog, but my intern already went to Williams.
46. I would really like to give our prizes in this blog, but that seems like a better Sunday thing, and I already told you that I HAVE the time this weekend.
47. Just got to take the cat to the vet tomorrow somehow during the fourth quarter of the UGA-Bama game tomorrow-not sure how I am working that.
48. Pacific time sucks, as I told everyone to take the Packers and the over, was IN Vegas, but by the time I went to dinner and passed by a sportsbook, the game had started already.
49. It is on my list again (twice), so I will tell you, YES, I didn’t do so well at the mechanical bull, hugged it a bit in the middle, and barely made 8 seconds.
50. I think we should start a pool on what next random injury Derrick Rose will get.
51. We rode with a Boston guy who went off on a monologue on how when he pulled up to the car in front of him, the seat where my colleague buzzed and vibrated.
52. He didn’t say ONE “r” the entire time.
53. I think in Vegas I ate pizza about 7 times, and then had some today before we moved our headquarters.
54. Pretty exciting stuff, and we are the glass building if you google “art hotel Denver.”
55. Of COURSE, anything new on the Brady case will be next year.
56. Tate, if you think the opposing players are calling out your team’s play calls, you should probably get some new play calls.
57. I am not a big team dinner person at trade shows and sorry, but I just work my butt off and then go explore.
58. Pretty sure we knew SMU was getting busted when Mudiay initially said he was going there.
59. Maybe they should have had escorts also, just to top it off.
60. Too soon, UL?
61. I am pretty sure Lewandowski is still scoring more goals than normal people score.
62. Congrats on the A’s for hiring a female…get on the train everyone.
63. MLB awards on Sunday, at least my predictions.
64. I am SO glad the charges are back on Hope Solo and the decision was reversed…hate her.
65. I will also work on for Sunday a new Rant Squad list, as my old guys and girls…are old…and even Johnny Manziel is now a Saint…I will put my best people on it.
66. Which is not my favorite line these days…it is (when closing big deals at work), “I will NOT let a stone take my glory (TROY).”
67. Love how Brees was hurt, now will start, and is projected for 24 fantasy points.
68. I have him, so I am smiling.
69. I can’t wait for my favorite part of the week tomorrow…picking my Draft Kings lineups…won last week.
70. One week until I am heading to a TRUE soccer match, as I will BE at US-Mexico at the Rose Bowl.
71. I love how Bill Simmons is still attacking ESPN from HBO in his podcast.
72. I hate how LeBron suddenly thinks he is the person we need to listen to on gun control.
73. Hold on, 5150 is done…need something musical to finish up this thing.
74. New Radicals was on top, so I chose them, and STILL not sure how that incredible piece of work was IT for those guys.
75. The grass is green, the sky is blue, and Spieth won POY.
76. I know from my client dinner in Vegas that there is another Ronda Rousey coming up in the ranks, she is 17 right now, and the same guy who coached Rousey says she is more complete than Ronda at her age.
77. Steve Smith can either escalate the Steelers-Ravens rivalry by not apologizing, or just apologizing because he called out the wrong player.
78. Should be interesting later…been gone, no food, going out…love creative late night meals.
79. I was in a rush, so no call outs, people with me at conference wondering what I was constantly writing on yellow legal pad paper while out and about.
80. No prizes, Marty…better luck next time.
81. Picks, no comments.  
82. That’s it. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
