The Bizarro World.
Thoughts for the day…quickly as there are two good football games on…
- Interesting stat-tell your friends. Louisville…yes the 9-1 Louisville is leading the country in a bad category. Lost fumbles. Odd.
- A moment of silence for our fallen subscribers. I received a VERY long support email today with apologies, still offering the beta version, but saying the update will be pushed before Thanksgiving. Subscribers have waited this long. Another week is not going to kill them. Hang tough, all. I will have more spit to sell once you are back.
- Austin Nichols is only averaging 11 pts per game for UVA, but EXPECT that to go up as we move forward. Stud.
- Lindsey was out last night. I had a productive night…with the glorious Hubie Brown announcing an NBA game on surround sound. Great night.
- Poker is tomorrow, and I owe each player $5 if I forget the legendary but never seen automatic shuffler Lindsey got at a flea market for $2. The thing is laid out on the table ready to go, and the thing is magnificent.
- Yes, I just called a plastic card shuffler MAGNIFICENT.
- Tomorrow I get Just For Men hair coloring for my horrible mustache. As John McEnroe once said, if you are going to miss, miss it big. Don’t hit it by the line-hit it in the stands. A colored half mustache is OWNING it. Kind of like I OWN having two cats and have a gang sign.
- I don’t know if McEnroe said that, but I have been saying he did since I was 11, so why stop now?
- Someone check the recent SI Faces in the Crowd and see if I am going crazy. A kid named Kade Matson (third one down) is the youngest surfer to win for the Under 16 age group. He placed 2nd in the Under 14. What? Why is that other kid not in there instead of HIM?
- I need more hours. I have two books to read (Inferno and The Whistler) and my hands keep reaching for the STACK of sports mags (just from the last two weeks of mail).
- So, Black Friday hits my birthday? I am such a fan of going to stores with too many people in them and too many cars in the parking lot. I am THERE. I can go right before the Washington-Washington State football game.
- Intern Doug I am afraid is gone. Not editing my own shit today though, so another day of you dealing with grammatical errors.
- Owning two cats and owning that fact that I believe Lindsey sent out a birthday event invite to people on Facebook titled #twocatmark’s birthday. Keep it going, folks. I just need to figure out how to prosper on it.
- Bleed For This…just looks like…a movie right up my alley. I love boxing so much.
- The warm weather party is over (pics this weekend). Snow today in Denver. We will be all over the news but then they will fail to report when the snow melts in like two days and it is 60 and sunny again.
- Love this place’s weather.
- I went on my pumpernickel bread sandwich kick, but now it is over. I realized pumpernickel bagels stay together. The bread…gets in your teeth, and ruins you for the work day.
- Jerry Jones might be saying he won’t part with Tony Romo, but he could literally bank on a deal right now with him.
- He could watch someone else deal with collarbone injuries.
- I think I could blog for an entire day if I had the time…straight. Right now as I am typing, I have already thought of like 5 things not on my list I want to tell someone.
- 24-0 Khabib Nurmagomedov says McGregor is ducking him, but I believe we are waiting for someone to get his name right on Wheel of Fortune before booking this fight.
- Wouldn’t it be awesome if Khabib hung out with Giannis Antetokounmpo, they got busted, and the media had to deal with their names?
- I have simple dreams.
- Houston just pulled a BEAUTIFUL fake punt.
- DeAndre Levy…I get where you are coming from. But, you sank in media opinion by saying you were PROUD to break Joe Pa’s leg. Come on, man.
- Speaking of “come on man,” Manziel is working on a plea deal as he probably has a rental in Vegas he has to get to quickly.
- Great story about Jrue Holiday. When asked how he can come back now, I believe he said “my wife let me.” Awesome story.
- The rivalry is happening. Bryce Harper was MVP and Mike Trout was MVP. Magic-Bird. Wait. What’s that? What did you say? Ohhhhhhh. That’s right. Bryce made the playoffs but sucked 2/3 of the season. Trout rocked all season, but the rest of his team is painful and missed playoffs. Congrats, Mike, for being the best in anyone’s eyes. Congrats to Kris Bryant also. Curse breaker. MVP winner. I never knew this would happen when I first read about you when you were like 11.
- Foot Locker sucks overall, but DAMN you have to love their Week of Greatness commercials. How do they do that right and everything else wrong? Actually, how are they still in business at all?
- Two years ago, I read how the Astros were built the RIGHT way. Draft. Cheap free agent. The RIGHT way. Wait for it. Now, after going 84-78, they pay big money for Josh Reddick and trade two young studs for Brian McCann. Guess THAT theory took a break in the last 24 hours.
- Wait, the Yankees are unloading veterans for prospects again? This is like the Bizarro world.
- Damn, that Seinfeld episode was great. Over the top, but brilliant regardless.
- Jay Cutler said today he denies losing the locker room. You could put that headline in any year over the last decade and I would think it was that year.
- Gotta go. Louisville has its work cut out for them.
- I know you don’t care, but I literally had Houston plus 17 and the over, but the game started. No bet.
- I don’t care what happens in the Panthers-Saints game-I just want everyone to score as much as possible in the allotted time frame.
- I have poker, Avery’s birthday, OU, the Steelers, and a whole lot of nothing else going on this weekend.
- Holy smokes. I have seen the Bizarro episode about 200 or so times, and never noticed the obvious Busch ad right behind the meeting. Crazy (I ALMOST made Busch the theme instead of Bizarro).
- Yes, mom, I retweeted a tweet with a bad cuss word in it…but it was A) from a celebrity and B) the best tweet I have seen in weeks. Sorry.
- That’s it, people. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
