It is between a llama and Kip Winger. Hmmm. Winger wins.

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.  A FIRST ever Friday late night rant (could be dangerous).  I would LIKE this to be a speed version, but I transparently have nowhere to go.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutation, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat-because somehow this blog became all about fishing).  I think my boss will read this for the first time tonight, but as you all know, I don’t explain myself (ever).  It is like Jim Rome.  After two weeks, you will get about 70% of the jokes.  The other 30% takes another year.
2. My boss thinks you need to sign up for my blog. So silly.  Website.  
3. Just so you all know, there may or may not be an ESPN guy reading this blog tonight, which I assume you may or may not know, that although I will put some extra effort in tonight’s blog, I really in the real world don’t really care. You either read this stuff and acknowledge that I know my shit more above 90% of the population while working 65 hours a week, or you are not impressed and pray I never make the sports world when  I DON’T work 65 hours a week and can blitz you.
4. That was rude.  Welcome, ESPN guy who is brothers with the guy I just sat next to.
5. • That is not a joke.  One of my bar games I walk people into is to naming every MVP and team winner from 1970…in EVERY SINGLE SPORT.
   • DARE you to go with my on the World Cup.  Not going to win, bro.
6. Do you like Jim Rome, ESPN guy?  Because I would have called Jim Everett “chris” too.  
7. Yup, I am cocky. Rome, Simmons, and Seinfeld.  Just get on the roller coaster and enjoy yourself.  Please tell Bill Simmons to just write and get off the tube.  
8. My day tomorrow is around 4 things. UVA vs. ND.  UVA vs. ND.  UVA vs. ND.  And football.  I hope my lady comes back exhausted, because I am watching EVERYTHING.  I haven’t even broken the news to her about the Louisville game.    I don’t do TIVO.  
9. WHOOOOOOOAAAAA.  #1 is that I miss my girl, and THEN those other things.
10. I don’t care if the Pistons lost their last game, there IS a #JOSHSMITHEFFECT.  
11. I will witness it next week. My VP told me I have to go watch the Mavs against the Nuggets on Wednesday.  Done, Sir.  Just don’t make me go see the Rockets (see above).  
12. Lindsey, I am not free on Wednesday.
13. I am more responsible about telling my woman things in my blog than on any notepad or Google calendar.
14. To Joseph (my brother’s amazing kid), who passed the test and texted me after reading this thing, and I pray I don’t say anything over the top where my brother says “NOW you have to stop reading my little brother’s blog,”  PROPS.
15. By the way, Joseph, can you tell my Rant Squad to start being idiotic again? Where are they?  Did they shut down strip clubs, gun shops, and drug alleys?  
16. Matt, we need to talk.  If Joseph is reading this thing, you need to tell me where the gray area is…
17. Sorry, Matt. If you are letting him read this, than I assume you have warned him.  I stopped cussing because of Mom, but can’t curtail this thing because of Joseph.  It is what it is.
18. Ok.  I won’t cuss, but I might use those fancy symbols above the numbers on the keyboard.  I will treat this like Family Guy, and not explain any jokes and not cuss…and plenty of 80’s references.  
19. Is there a bet in Vegas if the over under is whether the trade value of Melo is over/ under what their consecutive losing streak is?
20. Like, they might lose 16 straight and he might make $16 million?  Sometimes I have no point.  This time, I had a point.
21. I am kind of nervous if Joseph is reading this these days.  I have to be good I think.
22. Nah.
23. Becoming of a fan of the Griz. 25-10 in the West and not settling.  I watched Jeff Green in college.  He might not have translated fully to the NBA, but if I needed a wingman, I would take him on my squad.  I LOVE that they are at that record and trying to get better.  Deng would have been better.
24. I can still type amazingly fast, even when I went out.
25. JJ, Pops.
26. If I am a Chiefs fan, I am not excited about Terrelle Pryor being on my team for a year as a QB, except for the fact that they MIGHT have another RB or WR.
27. I admit when I didn’t know something. Somoneo DIED at the game during the Ice Bowl???????  From cold weather.  That is crazy.  Story I love is that the toughest Packers lineman who doubted how cold it was outisde threw a cup of hot water on the hotel window, and it froze immediately on the window.  
28. I am taking the pressure off myself. I don’t really care if an ESPN guy is reading this shit.  I wake up everyday knowing I know more about sports than anyone who gets paid for it, and maybe Logan and Mr. Royal.
29. Anyone see or hear from my co-blogger? I miss him.  He is in the Army and doing much more important things, AND the NFL season is done.  I am hoping for a second half NBA summary.  Mr. Royal is incredible.  He can stay on one subject like no one I have ever seen.
30. I think my subconscious JUST wrote him off when K-Mart got signed. Now, I just need Nick Van Exel to be signed somewhere and we are good.  
31. I love how my Twitter favorite guy #lostlettermen heard about Kyle Shanahan two days before ESPN.
32. He even beat Deadspin by a day.
33. I read that the Hawks were sold, but not sure why I care…at all.
34. But I would like for someone to tell me how Danny Ferry is doing…  
35. I have never had a torn calf muscle, but it sounds like it hurts.
36. The Cowboys in the NFC Championship.  Ugghhh.  As I read on Yelp, bring a gun to the show for Criss Angel, as you want to decide whether to shoot yourself before or after HIM.  
37. I heard it is a GOOD thing we checked Yelp before buying tickets to the show I wanted that combined magic and trapeze shit.
38. Kind of like I hope Widespread Panic never has a top 100 hit.
39. I know that was random.  On editing, I have NO idea how I went from Criss Angel to WSP.  
40. Except that one is the best show on earth and the other one is apparently the worst.
41. Seen Mr. Bell 109 times.  Not a bad show.
42. There was no evidence the NFL saw Ray Rice video. There was no evidence that OJ killed anyone.  (trying to think of another mistruth in life..)
43. Say them faster and then smirk ( on editing, I have no idea what the previous statement means).
44. Nick Saban is drooling, because after his main guys just declared, he is planning on winning everything AFTER he sends people to Michigan to take care of THAT salary problem.
45. Is everyone following? I know I move fast.  This Friday night blogging saves me money AND is kind of fun.
46. The only thing I will say about women’s basketball is that the head coach for South Carolina might be a woman, but she is a Wahoo, I had to guard her about 30 times in pickup basketball, and she was very, very good.  
47. I am no slouch at basketball.
48. Though, my best friend in life had a game…one move and one move only-he schooled me and he was 5’10”.
49. We played at Hoop It Up and I got to choose our team name.  It was 1994.  DEEZ NUTS.  
50. Which came from of course…  
51. Could be the greatest rap album of all time.
52. Just because Michigan State has lost to five teams, and because FOUR of those teams are very, very good, I will say that IF Texas Southern MAKES the tourney, that will be an upset.
53. Sorry.  You all don’t spend your free time looking at all teams in the top 50 looking at their schedules?  My bad.  I do that.  In plain English, Michigan State lost at HOME to Texas Southern.  Sign.
54. Lindsey, if you can incorporate somehow a surprise birthday part WITH Bill Walton at it, it would be legendary.  
55. My colleague is probably on prescribed drugs after he just had serious knee surgery, but he was loopy in his typical hatefulness of Bill Walton that he wrote THIS. Gotcha, Bryan.
56. Boston is the USA city bid for 2024. I am ok with this.  I have been to every USA city I want to go to in my life.  UNKNOWN?  Anywhere in Alaska or Hawaii.  NOT BEEN TO BUT WANT TO?   Austin.   FAVORITES?  In order, San Diego, New Orleans, Boston.  
57. Please just Google “Bill Walton” and “sweetgrass.”
58. I sometimes put reminders on my blog list. Could someone remind me to add insurance to my new Droid, take down the Xmas lights, and sell my Broncos ticket?
59. I used to charge my cell phone when I slept, but since I have a Turbo, it charges before I even go to bed, so I won’t so that anymore. Commercial is not a joke, people.  15-20 minutes from zero.
60. I think I just tweeted this, but Jusuf Nurkic is an upcoming Nuggets player, and THIS is his dad.  Look at that FIST.  
61. People who respect my sports opinion, STOP asking my opinion about Monday’s game. I am retired from betting actively outside of Vegas limits, but if you are down and out, and are a gambler, bet the next THREE months of rent on Oregon minus the spread.  The Fillerbuster is more than a believer.  
62. I think they cover the spread too, but nervous because Stardust usually is close.
63. I don’t care if I have said it before, and I don’t care if you are reading this what stupid things I will say, I still will watch it, am glad it is over now, but STILL am curious how people keep TAKING things from Liam Neesom.  
64. Google 159-155 and just watch the highlights. They are fun.
65. I drove Lindsey to the airport at 445am Tuesday. I wake up regularly at 530am during the week.  She is SOMEHOW wondering why, on snowy roads and a car that breaks down occasionally, I said I would PAY for her shuttle back.  NOT to sleep in.  To work, go to grocery store, and go to gym.  She got mad.  I ran it by three guys at work.  I am right.  She thought that it was a sign that I didn’t miss her.  No, babe.  I just work 65 hours a week, will be working Saturday, and get tired every once in a while.    Relax and take public transportation.
66. Don’t take offense to this, women, but this situation is exactly why I don;t want a woman in office.  I would rather have a President who plays too much basketball than someone who can’t find their way from the airport.  I need no MOODS in office. If you are offended, get your own blog.
67. Do you understand the gravity of your situation?  I am excited about my third rated man crush guy to be in The Gambler.  
68. Marky Mark.  Good Looking dude.  
69. I am skipping the ACC releasing a ref, the Ducks WR failing a drug test, and the fact that the Knicks should trade Melo.
70. 8 people commented when I stopped by for a drink tonight at a dive that I was “brave” for wearing my Steelers gear. I replied politely “it is tough.  ”  First of all, I hate all other Steelers fans.  Second of all, I own one thermal.  Third, I wear one hat.  Fourth, I don’t like drunk Broncos fans.  Fifth, we have more Super Bowls than you.  Sixth,  your rivals are NOT the Steelers.  Seventh, I am bigger than you 90% of the time, have never fought in a bar, box, and would probably have never been in a fight because I would RUIN you if I DID hit you.  Eighth, Ugghhh.
71. Screw it. I am in a good mood.  I say don’t let Tressel in the HOF but let the BOS in.  
72. He was a badass.
73. PLEASE tell me Johnny Football had SOMETHING to do with this Browns-texting-sideline thing. I want to see the texts.  SO praying it was to a girl in the third row.
74. Yes, I am know I am a dick. Knowing is half the battle.  NOT knowing makes someone more of a dick than I am.
75. I am sad I had to get out of the house tonight because of a long day at work and missed 80% of an NBA game where Hubie Brown announced it.  Greatest NBA announcer on Earth.  
76. #1 Justice Snow #2 Park & Co #3 Highland Tap & Burger (top three burger places in CO-had Park & Co tonight).  
77. I laughed with my boss about leaving at 425pm at work today. We are supposed to work 8-5 with an hour lunch.  I had no lunch, left at 426, and wanted a breakfast burrito on my way to work this morning (two buildings down).  The place that opened at 6am wasn’t opened yet.  He had no problem with me leaving.  I am a machine.
78. When you hear about a serious story, it is more fun to read the story and the comments on Deadspin…always. http://deadspin.com/famu-band-ringleader-sentenced-to-over-six-years-for-1678605934
79. I am an El Tigre fan, and I don’t even care about him announcing he is playing the Phoenix Open. Just hit me up on FaceBook when you plan on being normal, badass, and good.
80. I don’t want a lot from life. I want the same things as the next person.  But, what I DO want, is the possibility that I can be woken up from a llama licking my face in a different state when I had no plans…which HAS happened.  
81. I know that OSU’s front seven is awesome. I am just saying it won’t matter.  Oregon will destroy them.
82. I can’t wait for Seau’s HOF speech.
83. That might have been the rudest thing I have ever said.  I retract that.
84. I like that the Griz see their 25-10 record and just want to get better. Green is a nice pickup.  Deng would have been better.  You are reaching, Miami.  BUT, you ARE in the East, so things are easier.  Does Deng still look like he is going through pubery to you, being all awkward and stuff?  
85. I am a political science graduate from UVA. Altman getting sued is stupid and presents a dumb stereotype on our legal system.  I firmly believe that sometimes, NO one is to blame.  I took an entire class on this.
86. I might sounds like a stupid partier, but I am incognito.
87. Side note, one of my favorite Winger songs is Down Igcognito.  
88. You might no know who Rob Konrad is or possibly not like the Dolphins, but an ex-player swimming NINE miles for 12 hours is B.A.D.A.S.S.
89. When Kenny Hill transfers, do we have to adjust the nickname that he came a week from actually HAVING?  
90. I am going to grow my nails, buy a chalkboard for our home, and see if that overcomes how much I hate Scott Hastings announcing a Nuggets game.  
91. I can’t figure out whether I am tired of the Chris Christie-Dallas story, or want it to continue and have have him do something stupid.
92. If you would like to trade a player, just call Philly.
93. If you have questions about pulp, pulp can MOVE.  
94. I am glad the 76ers suspended Kirilenko, because I didn’t know what team he was on now.
95. If you care, he is the NBA player who is allowed to cheat on his wife one, single night per year.  That is agreed upon.  He must shy away from those lack of erection commercials too.
96. I would like to have a beer with the sent home juror who during the Hernandez trial yelled “GO PATS!”
97. I don’t like NY fans. I grew up near Philly, and don’t like them either.  I am a Steelers fan, and choose to not be around them during games.  I dislike Broncos fans.  I think anyone from CA is a passive sports fan.  I have HUGE respect for the passion, knowledge, and respect that Boston fans bring to the table.  If the Olympics are there, I am there.  I love cobblestone.
98. I think Curt Schilling should worry about his own problems before saying A-Rod shouldn’t make the HOF.
99. Although I agree, bloody sock.
100. Can we have a live press conference when Suh gets franchise’d????
101. I am SO excited for the UVA ND game tomorrow.  SO EXCITED.
102. LATE ENTRY:  Forgot to enter a Hubie Brown hater hook (Bryan, he is BRILLIANT):”He ran him down a lot of yards…”

     “What the Wizards can’t do is fall asleep”

     “That’s just immaterial”

     “I like the Mozgov”

     “The reason why they’re down 15 is because of bad shooting and bad difficult shots”

103. Keep working, Mayweather and Manny. I will continue to clear all Saturdays until you decide.  
104. That is it. I hope you enjoyed or at least are more informed.  I have one question to ask you.  Were you NOT entertained??????
