Let’s play some cards.

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.  Speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  Big day tomorrow for work and tired, so doing this one sentence per hook style.  I am sure I will have more things to say in the future, tomorrow, or ten minutes after I post this blog.
2. Plus, I am distracted watching the final table at WSOP.
3. It is a whipping going on, but it still is a fun poker event to watch.
4. I am playing poker this Friday for the first time in a while, so the juices are flowing again on the greatest card game.
5. Gameday is at Waco, and it must have been a really tough decision with Houston-Memphis and Bama-Miss. State in contention with OU-Baylor.
6. Andrew Luck is out with injury just as the Colts started showing life, and that stinks for all true NFL fans.
7. New York has deemed FanDuel and DraftKings “gambling,” and, once again, have fun while you can on those sites…and maybe cash out weekly if you win in case the lights go out.
8. The Evil Empire of Notre Dame joins the Evil Empire of Bama in the top 4 for the CFP, and I think voters know that Baylor will sort itself out Saturday night and…NO one knows what to do with the boring team at Iowa.
9. The Pelicans WON finally, and now the confusion of their first six losses…is diminished by a few percent in my mind.
10. The Avs having 9 losses already is mind boggling with the young talent they have on that roster.
11. Not tonight again, but I WILL break down the college basketball preseason rankings before the season starts Friday.
12. Note to self-the AFC Wildcard scenarios a couple weeks before the end of the season are going to be RIDICULOUS.
13. So the Russians decided to cheat at long distance running????
14. I think Rex Ryan’s weekly captain picks are fun sometimes, but this week’s picks are kind of crossing the line on a couple different levels with someone who sucker punched a QB in the locker room.
15. After a trip with nightmare lines at DIA, I FINALLY walked up to the agent not even ready to go because there was NO line…LOVE the A Gate line for any airline.
16. When packing, I kind of forgot that the Arizona desert got cold at night, so good thing I am staying at the location where I don’t need to go anywhere.
17. I am missing the Denver bad weather though, so that is good.
18. Lawrence Phillips has successfully gone from the best football player in the land, to the biggest wash up, to a criminal, to a IN prison killer, and to possibly be put to death.
19. SO sad about Tommy Hanson losing his life so soon in life…
20. Just another day in our lives where the Warriors still haven’t lost a game, and the Pistons caught Curry on a “bad” day.
21. Just another day in my life wondering what would happen if the Steelers had ALL of their weapons for a couple weeks in a row.
22. Damn, McKeehen is catching some ridiculous hands, ALONG with playing the moderate ones VERY well.
23. I don’t like the Knicks, I don’t care how they do, but somehow I keep checking every couple days out of curiosity on the stats of Kristaps Porzingis.
24. If you like college football, and care about how the season ends up, read The Eliminator as it is fun to see who gets booted each week.
25. I forgot Wes Welker wasn’t even playing football, and things really can’t get worse for the Rams’ offense, right?
26. I feel like the Bears merely won the Bipolar Game of the Week against the Chargers.
27. I chuckled when I read the Fisher-Barnes story, but laughed less just because Matt Barnes had something to do with some conflict.
28. Hey, Jose Reyes, you are supposed to be relaxed, carefree, and loving when in Hawaii.
29. At least that is what I heard as I haven’t been, but stop throwing chicks against the glass door, dude.
30. I picked the special car on Hotwire for this trip, and I got a crappy one, so therefore the “surprise” also sucked.
31. Nissan Versa…
32. I laughed out loud the other night watching Family Guy when Peter was sad and listening to Goo Goo Dolls and then played Happy to get out of the rut.
33. About the Friday poker game, I have played with most of the guys, but have not with my colleague I travel with all this year.
34. He is a REAL poker player and maybe I should just give him the buy in for the night and not even show up.
35. I am not bad, but do recognize TRUE skills based on repetition.
36. I have opinions and am glad it came out the right way, but will let people without other full time jobs write the brilliant articles on the Mizzou fiasco.
37. Still don’t think Barrett should start, but you run your program how you run your program I guess.
38. You don’t need him against Illinois, Urban.
39. Of course, Illinois COULD have a rebound home battle in their holster with what THEY have going on.
40. Ken Griffey should be in the HOF, and Trevor Hoffman needs to either not be or wait a couple more years.
41. I am tired. That is it.  Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
