We will try THIS one in my search for another weekly show NOT on the hip cool Netflix.

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.  Day rant.  Speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

1. Greetings and salutations, people. Just because I am doing a catch of the day, it doesn’t mean I am not carrying around that irritating legal pad list.  Quick lunch.  Let’s just clear some of it.  Can’t leave THAT much for the weekend.
2. Dan O’Dowd exited stage left from the Rockies organization today. Sure, not the best location for a baseball team, but most around here believe that IF a winning team was put on the field, it would become a baseball town.  To show for his 15 years?  Two postseason appearances, which one needed a 21 out of 22 final run to make good on.  FOUR winning seasons.  Basically, not in the mix too often.  Probably a good fresh start for the Rockies.
3. Frank Vogel got a contract extension. I guess Bird is really on his side, as Vogel has an automatic one year scapegoat with the loss of Stephenson and George (for the year).  I am not inside the locker room.  I will assume that there is more going on good than I know, because I witnessed a quitting team a few times last year late.
4. Brett Favre said he is glad that it is Peyton Manning about to break his TD record AND that he is amazed he got in some wire time with the whole Ole Miss-Miss St. phenomenon going on.
5. If James and Chris Bosh DON’T talk, I assume it is because of some late night text from King James saying “Two titles. You are welcome.”
6. I am glad Jay Gruden is “looking into it,” because I sure as heck could see the Skins laughing after a loss these days. I would call it more being delirious with sadness, but call it what you want to.
7. I swear Josh Beckett says he is retiring every few months.
8. We now have room for better wire stories as the Bills purchase was approved.
9. I didn’t really read A.P’s “Twitter diatribe,” but it HAS to be better than THIS CO guy’s rant. http://deadspin.com/denver-post-suspends-avalanche-beat-writer-for-twitter-1643760909
10. Just when Jersey can’t get more on its rap sheet, a high school football team from Jon Bon Jovi’s home town cancels its football season for bullying.
11. Just when things couldn’t any worse for the Florida football QB situation, Treon Harris saves the day.
12. Just when things couldn’t get any better for the Florida football team, he allegedly sexually assaults a girl after the win.
13. Just when things couldn’t get any worse for the Florida football team, the police are called to the stadium for a fight…caused by their backup QB who DIDN’T assault anyone.
14. Muschamp must be having a blast down there.
15. Is someone with money working on buying Geno Smith one of those multi time zone watches and also having the media STOP talking about it?
16. Very cool what the Utah Jazz did for that 5 year old kid. Very cool.  Great story.  http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/11654588/utah-jazz-ink-5-year-old-jp-gibson-leukemia-contract
17. Would have been nice to be at McFadden’s the other night in KC, aye?
18. Inferno is a fantastic book thus far. I just don’t have much time to read.  But stellar about a third into it.
19. This is who I am. Lindsey painted our guest bathroom blue as opposed to the pink it was.  I got home and she waited for me to notice what was different at our place.  I walked in the bathroom and said “well, the shower curtain is moved.”  Blind as a bat I can be.  Career as a detective-nixed.
20. We have started watching The Knick. Clive Owen is good, gruesome as hell, but still got me after the first episode about 1000 times better than whatever the hell The Leftovers was trying to be.
21. The background music to The Knick is awesome. Kind of like an 80’s keyboard, Bourne, and late 70’s action flick music all wrapped into one.
22. This is so cool. Asking hockey player about particular goals in their career.  http://deadspin.com/steven-stamkos-has-total-goal-recall-1643055521
23. If Rex Ryan’s job is on the line, and IF he got fired, where would he go? I don’t know what to do if he wasn’t in charge of the Jets circus.
24. Can we hold off on this NBA pay/ TV contracts thing until the next CBA? Don’t feel like dealing with it right now.
25. Not sure how old it is, but kind of funny that episode with Family Guy and The Simpsons. Family Guy just rules them, although they paved the road for Family Guy to exist.  I get it.
26. This is unedited. I don’t have time today.  Just writing and posting.
27. Kershaw lost again in the 7^th, but seriously how do you pull him when he is pitching so well? Tough call when you would bring in a lefty and you have the best one on earth in your dugout…short rest or not.  You can argue either way.  I say whatever you argue, you still showed NO faith in your bullpen how you break it down.
28. Bryce’s heroics weren’t enough. The Giants just win.  Three runs with no hits involved on ANY of them.  They find a way.  Now we get Cards and Giants.  Experienced on both sides.  They will get the O’s or Royals.  At this point, how can I not THINK it will be the Cards over the O’s, WISH for it to be the Royals in some way, but KNOW the Giants will somehow pull some crazy useless shit and take it all?
29. And they are doing all of this with a back to earth Lincecum.
30. I think Golden Tate needs to have a few more meaningful games before telling us what is respectful or disrespectful.
31. The Rockets are targeting Kevin Durant in 2016. Who ISN’T?  Well, the ONE possible situation where the MD area team might win out shouldn’t make you put ALL of your eggs in one basket, ok?
32. I am not sure of all of the details between Sherman and Garcon, but it sounds funny.
33. The reason why I don’t like missing days of blogging about ALL subjects is because I feel like many of the things on my list are already dated. Like the Ebola-Jacksonville mascot story.  Moving on.
34. (Skipping NY paper-Tebow reunion, Arian Foster doesn’t like Thursday night football, the A.P. charity –sex party stuff until we know more, LeBron James speaking out on anything this week, the Thomas chop block (also feels old news), Phelps getting suspended, Jim Harbaugh talk with CEO, Prater/ Lions kicker thing, Derrick Shelby and his uncontrollable touching of women, top 25 college football breakdown, Ole Miss goal posts, or how the Pats might still win the AFC).
35. Very busy person I am.
36. I did steal the goalposts as a pledge in my fraternity at UVA though. Clemson game I believe.  Long walk home with that thing I will say.  Should be still at Bill on Virginia Avenue in Charlottesville.
37. Not Bill’s.
38. Not The Bill.
39. Just Bill.
40. IF Sigma Pi still owns that house. I hear we run a best fraternity on campus kind of operation these days.  That was the polar opposite to how we did things in the early 90’s.
41. I love baseball, but one of the problems is player rivalries. Kind of tough to have a Larry Bird-Magic Johnson like rivalry when they are both out of the playoffs…again.
42. That’s it. Gotta go.  Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
