Old School.
- Greetings and salutations, people. Thanks for coming aboard (the boat). Going old school, numbering, random, whatever today even though I like the new format moving forward. I leave for a cruise on Friday and will be out of the country. Lindsey just left for a wedding shower. Might as well squeeze in a blog since I have a work problem and am working on a Sunday morning. Let’s move.
- Listen. I knew the Chicago Blackhawks drew a bad first round matchup. We all knew that Nashville was dangerous. But, I don’t think ANYONE on this planet thought it would be in FOUR games. Wow.
- The Capitals will advance when all said and done, but don’t think they wanted to START with a long, grueling series.
- I am SOOO pumped though for this fan site I will be writing for. Hopefully, when I start writing, I might ask everyone in a loud voice if they are entertained. The GroupMe app I am on has a MILLION things going by already. Gladiator reference.
- Sometimes I watch Transformers movies to remind myself how weak Linkin Park has gotten. What happened? Korn never got soft.
- Megan Fox makes it easier to listen to soft Linkin Park.
- Who would cheat on Megan Fox?
- I think she is most recently #5 on my list. Scarlett, Halle, Scarlett, Halle, and then Megan.
- We had a sidewalk sale yesterday. We were successful at selling $170 of OTHER people’s stuff, but personally only sold a guitar and some DVD’s for $.50 each. My wife talked me into the fact that we can get movies on demand whenever we want. Watching the Bourne movies leave was tough I will say.
- The Steelers schedule in late November and December is BRUTAL. Brutal enough also that I don’t have to go anywhere to watch them. They are on prime time pretty much all of December. Enjoy. Hope they are 9-2 or 10-2 before that stretch. Packers, Bengals, Ravens, and Pats all in a row? Ridiculous.
- Anyone notice that the Rams and Chargers, who play 12 miles apart and are searching for a new fan base, play HALF of their home games…at the exact same time????? Ummmm. Why?
- At least we finally have a year when the Jags and Browns AREN’T playing one single game in prime time.
- I probably will take off of blogging for my entire cruise. I assume when not investigating one of the seven foreign countries I will be visiting, I will be clearing work emails and not having time to blog.
- I will make my last blog this week good, as disappearing in Israel might happen, and a “cool way to die” if you care. Right below skydiving and getting eaten by a shark.
- I could talk about LaVar Ball and Ball vs. Fultz right now, but might save that for my farewell Wednesday or Thursday. Need some good stuff to exit stage left on.
- I could make all of the jokes I want about Rondo’s outside shooting prowess being missed because of the thumb, but what it really boils down to, is love or hate him, it is one less ring on the floor for the Bulls.
- I could tolerate the farmersonly.com commercials before. But, the new one with someone who is NOT a farmer looking for farmers is pushing my limits.
- I have a bad feeling that the Bucks dropping Game 4 might mean they drop the series in 7. Need to capitalize at home when you have Cousin Mo in the series.
- I was out at an anniversary dinner with my wife, but still noticed that the ending of the Griz-Spurs game last night was NUTS.
- With the last two losses, think Paul George is not thinking about A) the deal he will receive for not being traded or B) the fact he could be chasing a ring right NOW instead of being down 3-0 to LeBron?
- D Bar in Uptown just gained a regular customer. Our fridge broke last year and we couldn’t do the traditional cake thing, but I mentioned it in passing at the bar last night on our date, and we got a full blown celebration before we left. Attention to detail. As an ex-bartender, I appreciated that.
- Bartenders name was Cali. Do you think ex-boyfriends say after having another fling with her, I might be “Going Back to Cali, Cali, Cali…I don’t think so.”
- The Edge is an exhibit at the Denver Zoo, and also the home of the best steak in Denver. Wow. Melted in our mouths. Share the 32 ounce porterhouse. Trust me.
- I kind of like this song as my new workout song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXXN6UE4r3E
- But I think my new favorite workout song (that is old) is I’m Done by Korn. I could run through a WALL listening to that song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJiBNuvOl1k
- Apparently, I just became “hip.” I have flats as shoes now. Airwalks. Thanks, Greg.
- I feel like the Warriors can win the whole thing, with or without Durant.
- I can’t decide if I am more tired of the Joe Mixon story or Aaron Hernandez story.
- Yes, the Princess Bride thing at the Paramount was as cool as it sounded. Should have been a different interviewer, and Wesley is very, very full of himself, but it still rocked. Stories about Andre the Giant do NOT suck.
- Nelson DeMille is a genius. Today’s Tom Clancy. Dude writes a book featuring me (John Corey has my exact humor) and 48 hours of action in one single book, but still examines deeper issues like how the Russians WILL be back again to try and screw us over. We need Rocky IV.
- If I can change, and you can change, then everybody can change.
- The Blake Griffin injury goes deeper. Possibly the end of an era of underachieving. Possibly the end of a failed Super Team. Possibly the end of a superstar who couldn’t fulfill with two other All Stars on the same court at the same time. “Nailed it.”
- Apparently, Warren Sapp has NOT read the combine fine print or ESPN Mag article on Mr. Garrett. Yes, he will NOT be Mario Williams and WILL be special.
- Sorry, subscribers. I nixed you. Reboot.
- That’s it for today. Going to go get a Bison Pastrami breakfast from Prohibition. Will I blog before I leave for London and Paris? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
