I will be right back, honey. Just running down the street to Sears.
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. Evening rant. Let’s turn and burn.

1) Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for joining me. As the headlines are mainly about Mack Brown stepping down this week, how do you think his recruiting trip is going down there in Florida presently? COACH: I am not stepping down PLAYER: Coach, it says it on the ESPN crawl feed.
2) Bears-Cowboys. Nice tribute to Ditka and getting his number retired. I thought it was hilarious in pregame when everyone was saying things about him, they put a camera on him, and he says “Hey, I am right here. I am not dead.” You know where you can find the game summary. Here are my useless thoughts on the matter.
-As soon as Dallas plays a good game or two in December, we will stop the jokes about it
-Lindsey and I picked up Josh McCown on waivers this past week. Yup.
-Dallas went for it in questionable territory on fourth and NINE down 21 points with a quarter left
-Jeffery and Marshall could be hands down the best WR combo in the league next year
-Think those 2-3 ex Dallas assistants liked that win last night?
3) Seriously, this commercial where the dude proposes on a plane needs to be taken out back and shot.
4) I have seen a commercial advertising games with Stephen Curry and Melo. They need to spice it up. Like “bad guy” vs. “good guy.” “Guy who we are happy when he loses” vs. “guy we root for no matter what team we like.”
5) I am chilling here watching the Florida-Kansas bball game. Florida is hustling like they ARE a bunch of hungry freshmen, and Kansas looks like some bored youngsters who haven’t bought into Bill Self’s system. Guy has won one, and taken teams like you who aren’t seasoned enough close to winning one. Listen to him. And dive for some balls, young’ns.
6) That Jayhawk from Cameroon is solid. Raw…but solid.
7) Dick Vitale is doing the game though, so it is enjoyable no matter what the score. Waiting for the random Duke monologue.
8) Isn’t it SCARY that Florida is playing with a skeleton crew? Imagine when they get their other players back.
9) Jadeveon Clowney was ticketed at 110 MPH in a 70 MPH zone. Where is he rushing to? The bowl game isn’t for another 20 days, exams aren’t held at night, and he sure as hell doesn’t need to book a trip to NYC.
10) It is like a small fog SLOWLY spreading across the Continental Divide and making its way to the Mississippi River before splitting off both to the southeast and northeast, but it is moving. What is it? The knowledge that the Portland Trailblazers are pretty damn good.
11) What do people go to Sears for these days? I just don’t HEAR about people going to Sears anymore. Is it like the multi purpose/ washer-dryer version of JC Penney’s? Wouldn’t someone go to Home Depot or Lowe’s now for appliances?
12) What am I talking about? I still go to JC Penney’s. Not Sears though.
13) Wake Forest picked up the Bowling Green coach for their new guy. Maybe I am getting older and forgetful, but…hold on…no…can’t remember EVER when Wake Forest was good at football. Who cares then? It will be a stepping stone, he can get them to 9 wins one year, and then be the hot coach on the market.
14) WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW I REMEMBER. They were good in like 2005, 2006 or 2007. Barely won the conference and played like Cincinnati, Louisville, or someone like that in a BCS game. NOW I feel better. Solved it. Point is that they still aren’t that good overall traditionally.
15) Fox. Here is another reason I hate you. My mouse locks up like I am going to a porn site whenever I click on your SPORTS site. SI and ESPN don’t do that. Not even Deadspin does that.
16) Deadspin would like to know how often you wash your jeans. I went an entire semester in college I do recall. http://deadspin.com/oh-hey-how-often-do-you-wash-your-jeans-1479727177
17) By the way, with that Gronk injury, that is the way the NFL is FORCING safeties and cornerbacks to hit. You can’t hit high, right? Then I guess you might as well take out some knees. Those are some big dudes they are trying to bring down.
18) Deadspin talks about breaking down the Rocky training montages. Put me down for Rocky IV barely over Rocky III for those. http://deadspin.com/where-are-the-sweet-montages-breaking-down-the-rocky-m-1479612375
19) A coworker sent this over to me. Witness the next coming of sports. Cross Country Snowboarding. After mulling over that, click here for a short funny video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w7sVSMbjyM
20) The NBA is looking at having no divisions in the conferences. Let’s do it. Actually, until the Eastern teams come out of their rut, let’s just have one long list of teams. No conferences. No divisions. Take the best 8 teams, rank them, and play best of 9 games until it is done.
21) I am not sure how serious or not serious I was about that previous hook.
22) I hear the Phils might rebuild. What? You mean you want to suck while we THINK you are doing something positive rather than us just sit there and wonder if YOU know what the hell you are doing? Do it. Confuse us. Yay.
23) We had a health screening today at work. I also am on the “I DO watch what I eat regularly unless someone gets me breakfast burritos, it is late on a Friday or Saturday night, or Ponto goes to McDonald’s.” Well, 30 minutes before the health screening, let’s just say I was dusting off the remainder of a couple McDoubles and a small fry.
24) Big Ben says he has no problem with Todd Haley. Ok. I will say it. I have a problem with Todd Haley.
25) Jerry Jones supports DC Monte Kiffin publicly. Great. Let me say this. There have been three teams all year who have not punted the ball in an entire game. TWO of those teams were playing the Cowboys.
26) Mark Prior retired today. Basically, one of the top scouted baseball pitchers of ALL time never did anything. Shame. Think of a Tracy McGrady who did less.
27) I admit it. When I saw that Kidd said a 13 letter word to Lawrence Frank…it took me a minute. That must be because my bad language is nonexistent.
28) Derek Jeter says best wishes to Robinson Cano. Let’s wait until tomorrow when Derek Jeter welcomes Carlos Beltran. Thanks for chiming in, Derek.
29) That is it. Gotta go. Hope you enjoyed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
