Kind of tough to beat out Belinda Carlisle or Dokken, but it did…for the theme of the day and one of its MANY times being so…

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.  Not an airplane cast.  Evening rant.  Super-speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  I am actually starting this speed blog (one sentence per hook) in an Uber from the airport.  I am expecting traffic during rush hour.
2. But, just like the fantastic climate of Denver, it snowed while I was gone, and now it is pretty much ALL gone a day later.  Love it.
3. NOW one sentence hooks.
4. The driver just asked me if I liked sports radio…hardy har har.
5. Wow, that WSOP final table was an ass whipping, and nice to see an abrasive kid from outside Philly with an Iverson jersey win it.
6. I kind of mean that, but mostly it is about my love for Allen Iverson but my happiness for moving west.
7. Get Jeremy Roenick IN the NHL HOF, and keep Eric Lindros waiting and I say just leave him out.
8. Nothing against Lindros, but with his injuries and inconsistency, I just don’t think he deserves in.
9. I see my colleagues, Marty and Rob, wrote notes on my blog list when I left it unattended at the bar.
10. They are actually Ralph and Rudy, but that is neither here nor there.
11. Yes, Rudy, you sounded great singing ELO in the long car ride to Tucson.
12. Ralph, “OSU” on my list was actually referring to Oklahoma State, and therefore the among the easy to figure out grouping of Iowa, Baylor, and them, AKA the teams being left out of the top four right now.
13. Yes, if the top four teams win out, someone will get screwed, but the Big 12 will sort itself out, Notre Dame still has Stanford, and I just have a feeling that Michigan could derail the Buckeyes in their rivalry game.
14. I concentrate very hard when blogging, so therefore didn’t notice my Uber driver is going a JACKED up way home, as I haven’t been on 225 in YEARS.
15. Rudy and Ralph don’t read this thing, so Ah Dunt cahr (inside joke).
16. If I die tomorrow, someone note that it was because my left wrist looks like it got bitten by an AZ scorpion.
17. I usually like songs when they are no longer hip or popular anymore, and my latest is whatever song goes “hey oh, never let go of me” and something about it being hard to breathe.
18. Then a rapper starts doing his thing…it is ON my iPod, so not sure how I didn’t like it more before OR put it on my iPod without knowing it.
19. I haven’t changed the songs on my iPod in a good 12 months.
20. Yes, Whitesnake and Dokken are still on there a LOT.
21. Hey, Mario Chalmers, it could be a LOT worse than going to a Western Conference team that challenges all of the heavyweights on a regular basis and a team no one wants to play.
22. Traffic…I might get this thing mostly done by the time I get home.
23. I never made it to downtown Tucson as we go to our location a little late last night, so therefore I hope to be invited back soon.
24. The boringness of Arizona roads would be MUCH more exciting if Airwolf popped out from behind one of those mini mountains.
25. I so love Airwolf.
26. It is so much fun seeing Dirk Nowitki get in his groove, even if that groove means making crazy bank shots at the end of the game.
27. College basketball preview will be tomorrow…HAS to be.
28. I might squeeze in the NBA report also.
29. I am not bowing out about talking about it, but just think professionals with full time sports and journalism jobs can write more thoughtful things about Mizzou than I can right now.
30. Greg Hardy is active on Twitter apologizing, and nothing seems sincere about anything he is doing right now.
31. The Gold Gloves this year actually kind of look like…the actual best fielding players at their position…odd.
32. No worries if just a 7-10 day injury, but I think we ALL as NBA fans want to enjoy a healthy, talented Kevin Durant.
33. Can the Kings just send DeMarcus Cousins to the Knicks so George Karl can go about his classy business and we have more ammo to laugh about the Knicks?
34. When thinking about my early 80’s music crushes, I guess it narrows down to Belinda Carlisle, the Heart sisters before they got fat, Stevie Nicks, and Kim Wilde.
35. While UCONN already has a girl going for a championship in ALL of her four seasons, they also picked up the #1 PG in the nation to just keep things humming.
36. There is a 6’9” chick on OU’s women’s basketball team next year.
37. I remember when I had to guard (on the main court, mind you) the Burge twins at UVA, who were the tallest twins at that time before I think those Georgia chicks came around.
38. There is a guy on Louisville’s men’s team that shoots free throws underhanded, and the behind the rim fan signs are going to be AWESOME this year with Louisville road games.
39. You can’t make up stories like a white caddy catching heat for mentioning slavery in describing his relationship with a black golfer.
40. In case you doubt that one of the centers of the basketball universe are at Oak Hill Academy, SIX players from that squad are off to D1 schools, including the #1 recruit.
41. I know his back story, and here is hoping Fournette’s family doesn’t get HIM in trouble in any way.
42. Lou Brock lost a leg, and that is sad in itself, but sadder considering it happened to the guy who literally invented getting around the bases without the ball being in play.
43. I think Dez Bryant got drunk years ago, put in 100 crazy ways to get media coverage for a negative reason, and then just picks one out every few weeks to keep us entertained.
44. The Witten interview is AWESOME with Dez in the background.
45. I guess we won’t hear about it through the media, but pretty cool what Marshawn Lynch did for a McDonald’s worker.
46. Yeah, the hit was worthy of being fined, but classy apology by Lamarcus Joyner (who hit Teddy Bridgewater illegally).
47. If I feel the need for my 15 minutes, maybe I will just start making 12^th Man T-Shirts.
48. I am so confused what the Browns are doing and if they have any vision for the next 5 years at ALL.
49. That’s it. Not even home yet during this rush hour, and will edit at home.  Hope you enjoyed or at least are more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
