Finish him!!
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. Lunchtime rant. Speed version. Let’s turn and burn.

- Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for joining me. I am actually taking a “lunchtime,” which I find myself never doing. And, I noticed we have couches in the basement. It is like home. Emails are turned off. Let’s blaze this list I have next to me.
- It would be too easy for me to start out with Winston. You all know that. It will be covered.
- Maybe you fell asleep like I did during the end of the Eagles-Colts game. Maybe you woke up like I did to find out you won BOTH fantasy games you were down by 20 in because of your brilliant Sproles pickup. Maybe the Colts are the best 0-2 squad outside of the Big Easy. But trust me. It didn’t hurt you as hard as it hurt the dude who bet $5 on a 15 team parlay (would have been the first since 2011) and had the Colts as the 15th team after 14 right picks.
- Andrew Luck is SO freaking loud.
- What is the total tally on known kids of A.P.? Seven by five different moms? Just checking to know how much more there could be out there…
- The Vikings shouldn’t have said he was going to play at any point. Now, they look like a confused organization where it took the governor, the masses, and the MONEY to make them change their mind in the middle of the night on Tuesday/ Wednesday. Strong statement by Anheuser Busch, Radisson pulling, Nike suspending, and the list builds. And that is not even factoring in I lost my #1 draft pick in fantasy.
- I moved from the couch. Too comfortable. We are on a speed version. At a high chair now. In the “lounge.”
- Jonathan Papelbon is such an idiot. I wish my Phils were any good so I cared a little more. Stop screaming/ gesturing at fans, dude.
- I upgraded my Droid. I am frightened what I have to learn on it. Baby step me, Droid. Not getting my upgrade until end of year I believe. As Billy Joel says, “I love you just the way you are.”
- I love Mr. Royal’s 3 and out. I think he needs to work on the name of it though. Too many of those out there. We can think of something I know.
- This is absolutely fantastic. And the fact you can find it by Googling “Arkansas State fakes death” is even more magical. http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/09/arkansas-state-fakes-death-fake-punt-play
- I don’t know who was wrong in the Kemp-Puig dugout dispute, but I am betting that Puig was more wrong. Just going with the odds. This is NOT a fifteen team parlay.
- The Angels are the first team to seal their spot in the playoffs. The way they are playing, they will probably be the last team in too. Forgive me for not going with the best record teams, but I still like the Tigers over the Nationals right now. I still think Detroit’s pitching will overcome.
- But damn I will admit Buck has the Orioles pretty freaking locked on at the right time of year. Also clinched later in the night.
- I must have a different type of humor. I almost fell off my work chair when less than a week after he got suspended 25 games for PED’s, Chris Davis gets pub for lifting a truck off a trapped motorist.
- I know he had help. It is still ridiculously funny. Trust me.
- Josh Gordon pleaded guilty to something that probably was old, but I am having a hard time in keeping track of his offenses. You?
- One Republic is smart. They have the word “love” in a song to get chicks to listen to it. They put “runs” in it so it can dually be used in sports perhaps. They put a funky beat with it and now they are the MLB playoff theme. I like it.
- Evidently I like some road dogs next week in straight up pick’em per my office pool picks I just did last night. Denver, Green Bay, San Diego, Kansas City, Steelers, and Chicago.
- Ok, the KC over Miami was after a few beers. Maybe not so much on that one.
- And if I pick Denver, at least I know they will probably lose to Seattle. So, it is a win on the other side.
- And of course I think I was in grade school the last time I picked against the Steelers.
- Actually, that is just a cliché. I don’t think it has ever happened.
- LeBron just released a new sneaker. Two bills. I must be getting old, because I think that thing is ugly as all hell. Or at least THIS one is.
- Ok. Wordpress just released a new version. Why am I at #1 again? Ugghhh. Rolling with it today.
- I adjusted starting fantasy lineups, but I just don’t have the energy until I NEED a player and have no one starting before I start looking into deep sleepers I should put my bid in for fantasy. I have much better ways of wasting my time, mind you.
- Like I took some time and updated my digital sign for our home. THAT is important. Here you go. On a 42” monitor as you come into our abode.
- Did you see that Stanton selfie of the right after and couple days after from getting hit in the face by a baseball? http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/11538543/giancarlo-stanton-miami-marlins-posts-photo-face-instagram-being-hit-fastball
- Paul George makes the news a lot for someone recovering from a broken leg. Arrests made in home theft.
- Heisman watch: Mariota, Gurley, Winston, Hill, Golson. Not really seeing anyone taking out the Oregon kid at this point. Gurley would have to tear it up, and Marcus would have to throw ONE interception maybe? Has none yet. Winston will be in jail for something, Hill will be a freshman at some point, and Golson’s team will lose a game or two.
- The headline says “Girardi is mad at Rays,” but Joe has anger for a lot of things these days I will tell you. Tough season.
- By the way, exactly WHY are they sending out Tanaka? To either have to get surgery or not? Can’t he just go throw 90 mph in the backyard of someone’s house and find out the same thing?
- Move on the next hook if you have not played more than 100 Mortal Kombat games. This is freaking hilarious. I like the dude who was about to fight back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W8hsVvyKt4
- I don’t know who to hate more. The guy who BOUGHT the Honus Wagner card off eBay for only $200, or the dude who sold it to him that I would have gladly paid $300 for it.
- The only thing that sucks about Dwight Howard getting his license suspended is that now I can’t root for that DWI with strippers, guns, and drugs in the car. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2202038-dwight-howards-license-reportedly-suspended-after-running-10-red-lights
- I read a headline that said “Thunder-Westbrook for Rondo.” I didn’t even open the article. That is silly.
- Did I just see that Brickleberry is back with new episodes? Did I? If only Drunk History and them couldn’t churn them out faster. I know. I am shallow. Awareness is half the key to resolution.
- What song got pulled from Thursday night football? Rihanna? I must be missing the pregame or have the sound turned down. Or don’t care what music they are playing.
- I wasn’t against keeping the name of the Skins, but I am tiring from reading articles about the whole damn thing, so…change the name. Let’s get it done if it stops the stories and movements.
- Wes Welker is back at work. Now we just count the days until he does Molly at another horse race oddly.
- This Winston saga is getting funny. I don’t cuss in this thing, but you should check out the Lost Letterman tweets with parodies on this. He is an idiot. That we know. And, I am glad they are punishing him. Now, I have only one last request. I hope he causes his team to lose. I hope they go down big in the first half when he can’t play. Truly. He will learn that way to think about things. He is not even making MONEY yet. Clemson has a great team, and they are just missing their leader from last year. They still have serious talent, and a record because they do non Baylor like things and PLAY people early. Anyway, way to make another spectacle of yourself, Jameis. I hope you just caused your team the playoffs. Boom goes the dynamite.
- That’s it. Hope you enjoyed or at least more informed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro.
