NoBlog.
No hook, line, sinker, or rivers today. Just my random thoughts for the day.
- Preds/ Sharks Game 7 tonight. Logical choice is to take the home ice team. Preds are pests that can play on the road. Give me the Preds tonight in yet another playoff failure for the Sharks where they say “what do we have to do to take the next step?”
- OKC took down the Spurs and I for one was surprised…and moderately impressed. Not often you see the Spurs out of character and not playing the way they want to. As much as Westbrook and Durant yell at each other, they are pretty darn good when the whole team is healthy. The town of Oklahoma City is PRAYING a good run keeps Kevin in town.
- Newsflash. It won’t.
- The Voice. Nick is gone. Paxton is singing the wrong songs (no more Whitney Houston/ Adele/ Celine Dion songs, bro). THEN, it gets heated. My allegiance is still solidly in Laith’s court, although Allisan just looks unbeatable (not Jordan Smith unbeatable, but pretty solid regardless).
- Really like that new Lonely Island song-I’m So Humble-that debuted on the show.
- Geez, Spieth gets a lot of bad press when the poor guy shoots an even par. Yes, doubles on Par 5’s are bad, and yes, the field shot low, but the kid has three more rounds…and I am not even a full supporter of his.
- To further along my thoughts I have noted about the Raiders going to Vegas AND Jerry Jones chirping in, I give you a perfect Deadspin take on it. http://deadspin.com/let-s-move-the-raiders-to-vegas-1776248198
- Of COURSE, Shaq’s son is going to train and try to beat Kobe Bryant. Adorable.
- Of COURSE, Gronk is on the new Madden cover.
- Russian doping in Sochi…blah blah blah.
- Friend of Hernandez found guilty…yada yada yada.
- Scott Skiles resigns from the Magic after improving them to 8 games under .500. Odd to me. Either his phone has rang from another team with a better roster (easy to do) or there is internal strife we will never hear about.
- Everyone. Please. I love MMA and boxing. They are different animals. PLEASE stop talking about McGregor-Mayweather.
- People dying suddenly is sad of course. College kid Dayton kids dying is downright sad.
- I heard about the Big Papi-Maverick story and liked him impossibly more than I already like him.
- UVA sports is…like good in everything these days…even rowing. I remember in the early 90’s, going there, and confidently being able to say I could have made the then lowly tennis and swimming teams. Things have changed.
- Booked an August trip for A) music festival B) meet Lindsey’s grandparents C) to finally show her what I think is the most beautiful university in the land…University of Virginia.
- Scherzer joined a pretty elite 20k club. Tough to do without a couple breaks and breakneck speed in the late innings. The pitch count simply gets too high for pitchers on relative pace early.
- Watched a Shark Tank episode last night where someone pitched NoPhone. Blank piece of plastic. For people who look at their phones too much. The sharks passed of course, I flow charted it in my free time, and I still can’t figure out what they were trying to resolve. The people still have a fake device to fake look it. Or do they buy it and carry it around and NOT look at it but can’t make calls? That would be like me calling this NoBlog and still posting daily a blank sheet of paper. I guess that would be the same, right? Once again, slightly confused.
- Would love to think the Heat have the horses to beat the Raptors, but now Whiteside out still AND possibly Deng? Something has to give on that roster.
- The Blues couldn’t have won more impressively I suppose. If the Blues end up playing the Sharks, THAT would be a showdown of teams that perennially let us all down.
- Go to Los Tacos on Colfax and enjoy the specials, as they really like having a multi-item happy hour…or are going out of business.
- Does anyone think about how the lyrics from Europe in every song are absolutely horrible, yet their ONE line, The Final Countdown, is genius and played at every sporting event all the time?
- That’s it for today. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
- Just a tagline. Might be tough tomorrow with a client in house and then poker at my place at night. See you when I see you.
