If you can catch this thing, you can catch greased lighting.
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, but more work to do. MUCH better day today. Glad certain people understand my stubbornness, my drive to never quit anything I set out to do, and my willingness to run through a wall for a cause if necessary. Let’s turn and burn.

1) Shout out to my boy, Bryce Harper. First walk off home run today for the win…and he is TWENTY years old. I believe I was drinking Natural Light on the front steps of Sigma Pi when I was that age. Yeah…guess I could have done more with my life.
2) I am glad the Yankees are building their youth movement in their pursuit of Alfonso Soriano. I think the Yankees should make a rule. If they can sing the lyrics to Take On Me by A-ha, then they shouldn’t sign them.
3) I know it is tough to find a franchise QB, and the guy IS a classy guy, but also nice to know you don’t have to win ANYTHING except regular season games to get paid 5 years/ $100 million plus. You are welcome, Matt Ryan. They probably watched old Jeff George videos before presenting the contract.
4) Derrick Rose, when asked who the best player in the NBA was, said “Derrick Rose.” That is adorable (patented/ trademarked line-Kyle, and noted). OK. I get it. I guess you can’t do what you did WITHOUT thinking that you are the best (doesn’t help with free throws evidently (that was FUNNY)). Couldn’t you at LEAST have said SECOND? I mean, come on. I root against LeBron most of the time these days, but I don’t experience ANY ambiguity if asked the same question. Go “second,” and you eliminate pissing him off.
5) That is FUNNY. I just watched the actual interview with Rose when he said that. The question AFTER was who was the hardest to defend. He thought about it…and then said LeBron. I am assuming he was weighing himself as the other player in the mix.
6) FunniER! They polled the nation. People believed Rose’s comments in Illinois and Alaska only. Alaska? That is random. We are not talking about Trajan Langdon here (that is funnny for college bball junkies).
7) Oh, and the Heat and Bulls open the NBA season. Have your cameras ready. I think LeBron is already planning on what dunk he will do on Rose in his first game back.
8) Thoughts and prayers to a swift recovery for Braves P Tim Hudson. That injury did NOT look good on video, and we all hope you make it back strong.
9) Landon Donovan scored two goals in a win versus Honduras in soccer. This team might not be playing the absolute heavyweights right now, but they are playing GOOD. And WAIT a minute. I get all excited that they will be playing Mexico and our friends from the south CHOKE against Panama? It will still be a fun game. I get that. But I wanted to see how the USA did against the 20th ranked team in the world…not the 51st.
10) Everyone leave LeBron alone for saying he won’t play on the Olympic team anymore. I will get his back on this. He has already played on the team and won. He sacrificed his time for our country. Twenty years from now though, we ALL know it is RINGS, and not medals. Do what you got to do, bro.
10a) Sorry, Logan. TWO LeBron mentions. It is what it is.
11) This Von Miller thing is WEIRD. Not sure who I believe, but pretty sure he is guilty whatever approach his side takes.
12) Dammit. Here is this indentation problem again. Confused.
13) Probably due to my utter AWE of how a set of earphones can get tangled in about 5 seconds in your pocket, Lindsey got me two earphone organizers. GREAT gift. It will cut out about 15 seconds of untangling time at the gym EVERY day. That comes to 65 minutes a year. That is a lot of cord time. In two years, I will watch the next Bourne movie when Matt Damon makes a comeback.
13a) Yes, I am wishing this. No concrete data.
14) Aaron Hernandez memorabilia is being taken down at his college now. This is either a déjà vu moment of Lance Armstrong or an alternative ending for that crappy movie with that horrible female actress (Bullock) called The Net. Or that Arnold movie…Erasure.
15) I am sitting here enjoying no one being home, explained to all women in a Rules of Engagement episode. We miss you, ladies, but we also enjoy blogging solo on the couch in A/C with SportsCenter on in the background. Well, maybe other dudes don’t blog. Moving on…
16) Dammit. SportsCenter just showed the Bryce Harper highlights and said my clown question closing. That is MY line…and Bryce’s. Leave it alone or advertise my blog on air.
17) Ryan Braun spoke today, saying he will speak at some point down the line when cleared legally. They OBVIOUSLY don’t have Michael J. Fox working on that speech.
18) Yes, I like making American President references. That movie is badass.
19) Seriously, The Soup is a really, really funny show. If you never have seen it, it is seriously your loss. 30 minutes. Suck it up.
20) John Wall will be getting paid soon. I wonder if they are going to deduct psychology appointments for being dealt such a horrible team for his years in the league.
21) Ex-Bruin G Tim Thomas is having a hard time finding a job. What are you DOING, Flyers. Figure out a way. After about 25 years of having goaltending as your problem, I would say it is time to get in the mix for one.
22) Happy 35 days left until college football starts to everyone.
23) My favorite non Steelers player is now Cowboys WR Dwayne Harris. He pulled a Rocky in the offseason…chasing animals. Chickens included. And…THERE is the theme of the rant, people. Done and DONE.
24) Hello, Greg Jennings. You were really, really good in Green Bay. Now shut UP now that you have defected to rival Minnesota. We don’t care what he said in the huddles. We ALL think Aaron Rodgers is pretty darn good.
25) That is it. Hope you enjoyed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
