If you can’t spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table…
Thoughts for the day…another day closer to Sunday.
- I was going to save it but then realized I have poker night tomorrow. Probably taking the day off tomorrow. Let’s move.
- Why wouldn’t the Orioles sign Mark Trumbo again? If you are going to be known as the team that just outhits people, I assume you keep HIM.
- I just watched my long, short legged, munchkin cat not be able to simply turn around on a windowsill and fall off. Tank is just trying to be cat-like.
- Andrew Luck is going under the knife. He needs to believe in his own commercials a little more. Going to miss offseason workouts too.
- Kyle Shanahan is excited about joining the 49ers. Luckily for all of us, Tim Tebow did NOT write or deliver his speech.
- Love how SI picked up the old story about Vance Joseph and that old sexual assault and ESPN just said…nah…
- I think that attending the first Raiders game in Vegas might be a good party idea.
- (just picturing playing blackjack with Darth Raider…)
- Love how A.P. named three random teams he might go to that are EXACTLY like his present Vikings. Giants, Bucs, and Texans are all knocking on the door but we all know they are not there yet…kind of like his Vikings.
- Amazing that Pete Carroll might be laughed at in hockey circles for his lovey dovey hippie approach but that he still plays by hockey injury rules. Luckily, they draft well enough to not miss too much the draft pick they will be missing.
- So, still working through full plays of my new workout songs, but this is the winner so far. I felt like running through a wall today when listening to this during my workout. Anatomy of a perfect Mark Filler workout song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfzXeVKuRhg
- Because Sunday will be football overload for my wife, I am making sure to pick and choose my bball games this week. I can honestly say I have given her the TV ALL week and have not forced any bball on the tube. Next week there are some great games though…so that is over.
- UVA-BC wasn’t on TV for me. But, UVA allowed 54 points on the road. Better, guys. BC is not good, so not great, but better. All opponents should fall within that 50-60 range in points scored against them…except maybe 60-70 for teams like UNC or Duke.
- Don’t poke the bear, Zaza. Don’t. I can’t even IMAGINE what Westbrook would have done if A) he saw you hovering over him in real time or B) if the starting lineups for the ASG were announced last night instead of tonight.
- 24-6-4…
- 30-10-10…
- The former got the start. I don’t care if he won the MVP. I don’t care if there are too many good guards in the West. You find ROOM for a guy averaging a triple double for the SEASON on the ASG roster, OK??????????????????????????
- Interesting that LeBron is joined by 4 guys who have never started before.
- Glad the WORLD now gets to watch the Greek Freak play. Awesome. Not a household name yet but will be.
- Glad The Brow made it too. Pelicans have done a good job this season fighting back from a horrendous start.
- Hit the gym, man. http://deadspin.com/extremely-tall-basketball-teen-debuts-in-ohio-1791399607
- I tried some things in college, but definitely didn’t get involved in THIS. Armed robbery??? http://deadspin.com/oklahoma-cornerback-arrested-for-alleged-role-in-three-1791337319
- Bill Simmons is one of my writing heroes. This oversight kind of surprised me. http://deadspin.com/ebb-is-the-bad-one-1791389793
- Can you imagine the shooting session that Trump takes on the White House bball court…right before he tears it down and makes it a chipping area?
- I just looked at the Eastern Conference NBA standings. They…pretty much look…exactly like most of us thought they would look preseason…amazing.
- Djokovic is no longer at is invincible peak. He is beatable now. The guy who just took him out? Made $860 earnings this year thus far.
- AND Djokovic has his weakest tourney coming up next…the one he FINALLY won last year.
- I looked over the poker field for tomorrow night. I am in my usual spot. Not one of the two favorites. Not expected to go out early. Just…dangerous…maybe ranked 3, 4 or 5 for tomorrow.
- I miss Grayson Allen not tripping people…
- Not doing the Winter Park train this weekend. Poker Friday and football Sunday make two important bookends of the weekend that can’t be moved.
- Still sad I erased Anthony’s magical pop culture text…
- I love Shark Tank. I can’t wait to be ON Shark Tank. I have the personality and the passion to make money. Just lacking an idea, a product, a patent, and a business.
- Thanks, Greg. I wouldn’t have seen this. Hoodie asked about the advantage of a home crowd. He replied to go ask Dallas and K.C.
- I am hearing Split is awesome. Ugghhh. I don’t WANT to go to movies during football season. Come on…
- My #1 man crush is in this new movie I see on previews. Great Wall or something. Ummm…I have a few questions….never mind. As Kramer said in Seinfeld, I will treat this as a WRITE off.
- I have been told this year I need to plan Valentines Day. Another 365 days went by and no one got rid of that holiday? Do we need a task force or something? Should I head this up? How did this thing come about? Don’t they know we will buy them better stuff for Christmas and birthdays if there was NO LOVERS DAY????
- It may or may not be true that I started a list in my personal Google doc listing people who can watch our two cats.
- #twocatmark can do whatever he wants on this topic. I am breaking the mold.
- You guys can mildly forget about him (or for some of you non sports people never heard of him). I am EXCITED to watch Ben Simmons finally play at this level. Dude will be a stud.
- I had never seen the Family Guy with the San Fran hijacking. As all of them are, very, very funny.
- The theme? Well, it is like the best movie ever and I play poker tomorrow and I probably won’t blog.
- There is this story today about Wade, the Bulls, Butler, and whether they are going to rebuild or not. What did he THINK might happen? I just figured it was a cute story because it is his home base. Did he actually think he might WIN it over there? Nah…
- That’s it for today. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Onward and upward. Peace.
- Just a tagline…probably taking the day off as I mentioned…
