One Sentence Airplane Rant.

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.  Airplane rant.  Very short flight.  Speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (yes, a boat).  Here’s the deal.  I have been “on” all day on a work trip and been in the airport twice.  I have 117 emails to clear tonight when I get home that I knew about when I got on this plane.  I have a full legal pad list of blog ideas, and mentally, I NEED to unload before I lose my mind.  We are busting out the one sentence version because this is a 118 minute flight and I would like a nap too.  If you are tuning in for the first time, the disclaimer is that this will be more of a release and far from my best rant.  Work break.  Go…..NOW.
2. I get the feeling I shouldn’t be too mad I missed most of the Bears-Jets game last night.
3. I still think that Michael Vick gets a couple starts this year even when Geno Smith is healthy.
4. I still think Jay Cutler is a punk…with a rocket arm.
5. The Steelers looked good enough in their game that I am now doubting how good Carolina is.
6. That rookie WR Kelvin Benjamin from Carolina is the real deal-monster.
7. I still hate Cris Collinsworth’s voice and comments.
8. When you drink vodka-ice tea, trust an expert and know cheap vodka actually tastes better than the good stuff.
9. Seriously, how come NFL teams don’t dive over the line anymore when they are on the half yard line?
10. Buy flowers for your woman once a week as it will make her smile.
11. But don’t forget to buy flowers at random times too (I even have been slacking on that recently).
12. I would have told you that you were crazy if you had predicted preseason that Green Bay, New Orleans, and San Fran would all be 1-2 in the NFL standings.
13. It came out that Peyton Manning doesn’t like the new overtime rules, but he is actually simply starting to stress him a little that the Broncos have no running game to make his life easier.
14. Damn, that last drive of Peyton’s was sweet.
15. A third installment of Taken is a reach anyway, but spelling it Tak3n is just…dumb.
16. I believe Liam Neeson is now 62 and the latest blooming action star ever.
17. And how many freaking times are people going to mess with this dude’s possessions?
18. Alabama is now #1 in the computer rankings if you care, and Oregon is somehow #5.
19. In that same computer poll in which I love to notice oddities, the three worse teams in the nation out of 252 teams have ALL won at least a game…interesting as I would assume they could find some winless teams down there (2-2, 1-2, 1-3, with Davidson at #252).
20. I now will officially be rooting against Michigan for no reason at all but to hear this Brady Hoke thing get funnier.
21. The suspension apparently really “hit home” with Jameis Winston and there is no word on how long AFTER he showed up in full pads to the game this past weekend that this “hitting home” took place.
22. I admit to not reading the whole Steve Bisciotti (Ravens owner) article because I am subconsciously tired of Ray Rice and that whole story, but it sounds like he is whining, fabricating, and spinning a little.
23. The top NL hitter this year, if moved to the American League, would be in SEVENTH place.
24. I am already slightly less stressed about my work day just blogging a little, and will be ready to lock and load when I get home now.
25. There are more nude photos on the internet of celebrities, some of whom I wouldn’t mind seeing naked, and I still don’t know how exactly to find them without blowing up my computer with popups-NOT trying.
26. Injured CB DeAngelo Hall says he feels better about his season ending Achilles injury after talking with Kobe on the phone, and I will add I also always feel better talking with Kobe after a bad software day also.
27. I admit to feeling a little happy when finding out Ray McDonald’s house got burglarized.
28. Marcus Mariota got 25 of 27 first place votes in an early Heisman poll, and I can’t say I disagree…unless we magically figure out a way to involve the kid from small East Carolina.
29. Those guys are now #23 if you are watching the polls.
30. In the NL Cy Young race, it is a runaway, and in the AL, it is a crapshoot with no one really deserving anything-just give Clayton both leagues’ Cy Young.
31. Oh, that’s right-he can’t because he will probably get the NL MVP too because of lack of options.
32. I definitely do not enjoy traveling in nice clothes, and look forward to my trip next week where changing into cargo shorts, a t-shirt, and Steelers hat will be logistically sound.
33. I need more details, but this Bironas thing is getting weirder and hopefully not sadder, with two pre-crash attempts apparently with other cars, and him leaving randomly without saying bye to his lady, Rachel Bradshaw (Terry’s daughter).
34. My typing speed is SICK when I am blogging.
35. Leave alone Rickie as I like his USA haircut, or will apparently defend whatever he does for an event that I am trying to get as excited for but am lacking it this year.
36. Ricky Rubio is not making TOO good of friends with Andrew Wiggins or Minnesota bartenders with the rumors that the Lakers and Knicks might be interested.
37. I travel all the time, but evidently was the only person who found it odd there was a free bird just flying around the gates and restaurants in the Tulsa Airport.
38. Mayweather says the All Access blunder was staged, proving that if we believe him, we are once again one step behind Money.
39. The chronology if you care is Cary Williams calls out Chip Kelly’s habits, Kelly lauding Williams as a player and saying he basically doesn’t care, and then Cary Williams apologizing…I think as it all happened so fast.
40. Is there an over/ under on this Charlie Strong and dismissing players thing (gimme the over)?
41. Darnell Dockett is giving away jerseys, I believe, on Twitter to fans who are fighting at games and wearing his jersey…I think.
42. If there are any inconsistencies in any of these, I had to skim some articles due to too much work stuff in the last couple days.
43. If you care, the guy who got arrested for sneaking on court to chat with LeBron James a while back is now allowed back in Quicken Loans.
44. Given the fact I had to Google “Steelers depth chart” when Shazier and Jones went down, I am fine with James Harrison giving it one more go with Pittsburgh.
45. I am glad Tomlin chatted with him about beating up his girlfriend in 2008-good talk, Russ.
46. I have “Darko Milicic-kickboxing” on my list, but you need to just go back a day to check out my hook on that.
47. I cut my hand today trying to rip a string off of my tie.
48. Lions LB Stephen Tulloch better have TIVO, because based on how much I see the discount double check commercial, I assume that will pain him even more home watching the tube on his couch rehabbing.
49. Just imagine if that Broncos-Seahawks game we just watched was the Super Bowl last year with safeties, last drives, and sudden death touchdowns instead of field goals instead of…an ass whipping?
50. Anquan Boldin says the refs are to blame for his two losses, and we temporarily want him to retire instead of hoping he continues to fight age so well.
51. That Big Ben pump fake and side arm throw were old school for him, hope giving, and badass.
52. I feel like there is an Audi vehicle, and Samsung phone parallel…like both were not really doing anything much 10 years ago and now I am feeling they own shit and are far ahead in each arena.
53. I think I would look great in an Audi and as soon as I let go of my relationship with my Jeep, Eleanor, I might look into it.
54. The USA Today is amazing reading, and if you care, Stan Smith’s song is in the “hot” adult contemporary, the “urban” adult contemporary, AND the regular adult contemporary top ten.
55. I only eat Cheez-Its at work and that I find odd.
56. Your three unbeaten teams in the NFL are the Eagles, the Cardinals, and the Bengals.
57. The Eagles look bipolar on amphetamines.
58. The Cardinals have reminded us that yes, Drew Stanton still is around.
59. The Bengals are just beating the crap out of people.
60. Matt (colleague, not my brother) asked that I include this link about I believe ninja women burglars.
61. The Braves fired their GM, and I personally think that although they are underachieving, that this move is one year too early for what he has built there.
62. Starting descent.  One edit, save, close my eyes, and then allow Eleanor to get my butt home to tackle the lovely emails I have to answer.  The good news is that at night no one responds.  Kind of refreshing, and my proactive move for those people who don’t turn their computer on at night-HA!! (that was sarcastic as I am the workaholic and probably shouldn’t work all the time).  Anyway, I hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.  Peace.
63. See? Now I clear myself for a nice quick catch of the day tomorrow.  I am glad I ponied up and busted this out (exhale, wipe sweat from brow).  Thanks for reading as always.
