We might need an intervention at the rate I am going.
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. Evening rant. Super speed version. Let’s turn and burn.

- Greetings and salutations, people. Mid week rant. I am not like Dion Waiters and national anthems and no show stuff. Got a large list, and everything always seems noteworthy to me, so let’s do this one sentence per hook style. I am now hooked on Game of Thrones, and there is nothing but NBA on tonight. Gotta get stuff done for the next GOT episode. Like Hustle and Flow, I gotta spit this stuff out.
- I am really addicted to that Game of Thrones show and it might just get worse.
- I don’t know what the fuss is with the college football committee rankings aside from movers from 6-12 or so, because the top rungs become a whole lot clearer on Saturday with that Bama-Miss St. afternoon game.
- Ronaldo, you might SAY you don’t call Messi names, but it was reported on Deadspin first, and therefore it is true.
- Dez Bryant says about his contract negotiations to not “test his loyalty,” when I think he should actually be talking about whether his Cowboys are going to fade away…again.
- LeBron says no football for his kids, and that is your LeBron James report of the day whether it is newsworthy or not.
- The Winston hearing will be delayed until Dec. 1, meaning the next date it will be moved to will be the day after the championship game-way to slowly try and not make us think that is where you are going on this.
- Tigers-V-Mart-LOVE this time of year when we have baseball deals, movers, and awards.
- The grass is green, the sky is blue, and Kershaw won the Cy Young.
- Seattle is pouring beer at their stadium that is less than advertised, meaning the loudness from their fans must be real or they are lightweights.
- Michael McAdoo is making a brave (and smart) move by suing the sham class university of UNC-not quite O’Bannon like, but it is something still.
- Great NFL week coming up, as 4 games feature two teams with a .667 winning percentage or better-tell your friends.
- This will not be edited for you grammatical people-I am flowing and posting.
- Someone up high is apologizing to someone else up high at the University of Michigan.
- David Robertson wants “Papelbon money,” and betting he STILL can’t be as big of a-hole as Jonathan is.
- Nice contract, Phillies, to set THAT bar.
- Tom Brady praised Luck’s skills, meaning he once again is complementing his adversary he plans on taking down Sunday.
- BIG show and tell for the Colts, who I still think have Super Bowl potential…easily.
- The Rams made a huge move by benching Austin Davis, and now I once again know where the hell Shaun Hill plays as a backup.
- Shame that Carson Palmer gets on this type of quality team and then goes down to injury.
- Yes, I picked up Stanton as my backup QB in fantasy.
- I am starting to believe the Raiders are a really, really, bad, HISTORICALLY POSSIBLY, football team.
- I personally thought the Cowboys would get a run this past week, so they at least proved me wrong on that note.
- I think there should be things that shouldn’t be called on a Hail Mary, I think the dude should have gotten an Oscar for his fall, but I still think that was ok by rule standards to make that call.
- And the fact that the Saints are losing at home just makes them MORE confusing.
- So psyched to watch a 7-9 squad from that division host a freaking wild card.
- P. BETTER not be on the football field anytime soon, and I don’t care what NFLPA rules they are breaking to keep him off of it.
- I call the main character from Season 1 of GOT “Patriot Games.”
- I have started making a chart so I know who the hell hates who and since I never read the books.
- Lindsey wants to skip over the long opening theme song, but I have decided that is like the best song ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8cEctQZpnI
- I will move on and skip my GOT notes thus far.
- As I have started talking to people about the show in the last two days, I am realizing that EVERYONE pretty much is watching the show.
- I was doing Movember, but I shave in the shower (true statement by someone who turned not having facial hair into an advantage), but I accidentally shaved one side of it on a follow through, so I gave up.
- I will cut you a break, and skip the half page of notes from the Steelers debacle last week, and since I covered some of that anger when I got home from watching it.
- Are we already talking about moving/end of year plans for Kevin Love?
- I have no idea why I suddenly love salami more than any other deli meat (well, outside of prosciutto).
- Bama is going to win this weekend by the way.
- With my new addiction to GOT, I forgot that I am excited for Hunger Games being released-opening weekend for me for sure.
- I remember a buzzed day when I thought I was going to make a massive Hunger Games movement all associated with my blog readers-those were the days.
- College basketball might not be for you like addicts like me, but at least check out Friday the Pitino-Pitino Armed Forces Classic Game-it is awesome to watch every year.
- I feel like Anquan Boldin will be old and suck again in a year, and then defy age two years later and be good again and not suck.
- With the movie Hustle and Flow, I get sucked in every time, especially if it is on and near the initial “hook” scene.
- I don’t like that I can watch any movie I want pretty much, but if I want to stay on my couch for a football game with the NFL ticket, I can’t do it.
- Louis Rams might have a new QB and won’t beat the Broncos, but if I am an NFL team, I am not wanting to play them with their amount of peskiness and effort.
- The Andy Reid look alike in the KC stands last week was incredible.
- My laziness in the kitchen may or may not be shown as a snapshot by admitting that I have both pre-made deviled eggs and pre-hard boiled eggs totally 4 packages in my fridge.
- I think my present best burger around standings are presently #1 Justice Snow, #2 Park and Co, and #3 Highland Tap and Burger.
- In the next 10 days, I will have had all three for a revote.
- I am pretty sure LSU think they had that Bama game won way too early.
- Bama is the symbol of a great team in the way that IF you beat them, you usually earned it and kept your pedal on the gas until the final seconds were gone.
- I am tired of thinking Michigan State is good and telling people to bet on them.
- I thought that Utah would be a trap game for Oregon, and that huge touchdown swing early hurt Utah’s chances.
- I am also officially a believer that Oregon is probably the best football team in the land.
- Another year of UVA thinking they might be decent at football and watching it slowly trickle away.
- I just spoke with Lindsey on the phone, and she has agreed to watch another GOT episode tonight instead of being forced into NBA basketball.
- By the way, I happened to be working in my kitchen with ESPN on when that committee ranking show came on, and the introduction was overbearing and ridiculous to say the least.
- Since the Broncos might once again be better than the Steelers this year, I at least want them to have Richie Incognito on their team while being better.
- Is that a sign on his mental turnaround, the badass he was on the field, or the dire straits of the Broncos line?
- I am tired of Steelers-Justin Bieber references.
- I don’t want to see a Steeler dive over the line again until we have won a Super Bowl…or at least IN the Super Bowl.
- No time today to explain, but give me UK, Wisconsin, Duke, and Gonzaga as my initial Final Four.
- Yes-Gonzaga.
- LeBron had a triple double and then had it erased before I even wrote another rant-wow.
- If you are wondering how focused I get when I write this stuff, I talked to Lindsey 15 minutes ago, and just realized ESPN was still on mute-that is weird.
- Aldon Smith is back, and due to the recent silence of my Rant Squad in the headlines, I am excited for some new, original stupidity from this guy.
- Speaking of the 49ers, losing Willis would hurt a lot more if you were out in front of people right now.
- UCLA is the most lauded preseason football team to make me think their wheels fell off the train and STILL somehow be one of the top two loss teams in the committee rankings…or whatever the hell they are called.
- Once again, I have more work to do, and Lindsey is on way home, so this is not edited-my apologies.
- I am always glad to know MLB tries not to weight in postseason performance when picking their awards-that is a note to you, Buck and you, Matt.
- I know Arrowhead is a tough place to play, and I know the Seahawks are playing below their level, but 1.5 DOGS????
- There is a popular sports site called the Rant, I need something that is my own, I am toying around with naming this The Catch, but am open to ideas.
- If there is an article about Gene Keady’s combover, we should read it. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2014/11/11/doyel-keadys-killer-combover-gone-but-not-forgotten/18805373/
- There is no reason to make fun of Kobe Bryant and being the person with the most missed shots ever, as the guy he just passed is one of the best players ever and I won’t make fun of JOHN.
- I skimmed an article about Mark Sanchez taking over the Eagles permanent starting role and I kind of laughed out loud.
- Am I am thinking Carolina is more bad than Eagles good, but it is nice having Sproles on your fantasy teams…actually both.
- Lindsey bought me Boar’s Head mustard, it is spicy as heck, and might be the best mustard I have ever had.
- If you care, I worked buffet and room service at the Boar’s Head Hotel in Charlottesville, VA.
- You know who you are, you read this blog, and I hope to be your co-worker very soon again.
- I would like to apologize about not having hockey news thus far-my hockey intern went to a Red Wings game last week, crossed the border into Canada, and I haven’t seen or heard from him since.
- I have NBA on in the background, and still miss Hubie Brown.
- This is an EARLY game-WAY before your bedtime, and no one has radios anymore.
- That coming from the guy with an old school radio with stations in his Jeep.
- James Harrison was picked up, Santonio Holmes was released, and I think the Steelers bring the whole gang back together.
- Speaking of, got to be horrible to have the bad Bears release you.
- I admit to now opening the article about Mickelson and something about an ASU interim golfing assistant.
- My new system so I don’t have to write these one sentence things is to log on and write like 5-10 here and there.
- I think I already had that idea before-dammit.
- Please just read Deadspin.
- Where could you find this? http://screamer.deadspin.com/pearl-jams-mike-mccready-shreds-national-anthem-at-soun-1657567792
- Or this? http://deadspin.com/the-crazy-kobe-trade-ideas-season-is-now-open-1657002066
- Or this? http://deadspin.com/twitter-users-harass-marc-trestmans-daughters-after-bea-1657009542
- Actually, those were weak-sorry-been busy.
- Jeff Van Gundy just asked the audience “What does that mean-of mice and men?”
- Ed Davis had a nice response to Barkley’s fasting thing, probably still wishes he stayed in school another year, and must just be glad the Lakers won’t be the Sixers this year.
- I know the rules, and I don’t think you should Instagram DURING a professional football game, but still found Sefarian-Jenkins Captain Morgan touchdown celebration really funny.
- The Rockies “gave away” Cuddyer to the Mets, but he actually dissed them at a double salary (look it up-not lying), and I hope the Rockies use that money to build another cool top of the stadium bar or maybe put some pools in like the Jags have.
- I find it scary if a team is to the point where “DeSean Jackson addresses team.”
- How have I never seen this? Ew? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMBXhDcogcI&app=desktop
- Fallon is so talented.
- I am personally glad that Harbaugh was caught on the mic dissing the Steelers and wish MY lash out was heard in the media too.
- If you made it this far, shoot me an email, and I will send you a 2014 Royals World Series Champion uniform so you can confuse drunk people now and everyone 10 years from now.
- Everything else on the list looks like repeats. Gotta go. My insane life is get things done as soon as possible, watch an hour of GOT, and then STILL get to bed way before 10. Tough life. That is it. Hope you enjoyed or at least are more informed. Sorry for grammatical errors are writing stuff like Dez Bryant is “WEEK!” If I did something like that. Anyway, will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro.
- Someone will blog. The jury is still out who.
