Whatever…I Am Legend, White Fang, Turner and Hooch, Where the Red Fern Grows, and Old Yeller too.

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

1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  Typically, Sunday is not a speed version.  I worked for 90 minutes, watched football, but need to still do some prep work stuff.  AND I haven’t watched any Game of Thrones today, so I am once again busting out the one sentence (with pics) catch.  For newbies, sorry.  I work 65 hours per week.  I don’t have much free time outside of work, working out, and watching sports.  One sentence and one sentence hooks only.  Trust me.  It hurts me more than it hurts you.  Or, maybe it doesn’t.  It is what it is.  Plus, the sick fiancée looked at me when I said I still had to blog and it was not a pretty look.
2. The Steelers need a RB. The Steelers got rocked today by the Saints.  Ray Rice is available. Ugghhh.
3. Don’t pay attention to the 35-32 final score. The Steelers got worked.
4. How unfair of it in life that Michigan State and KU basketball was on the flipper channel of the Steelers? I admit to not watching the other game, but KU is definitely the better team.  61-56.  Play it at 6am and I am THERE.
5. This is fun. My losing fantasy QB playing my winning fantasy QB.  Rodgers vs. Brady.
6. Not losing QB. In one league, the QB is all I have.  Not his fault.
7. Read the Janay Rice monologue on what happened that night with Ray. I believe her that abuse might not occur, but doubt it didn’t happen that night.  
8. Stop spitting at dudes though in general.
9. And dudes, don’t spit at chicks like Alomar either.  
10. UCLA was preseason ranked #7, dropped like a rock, fought back to #8, and then laid an egg against Stanford.  Bob.  Your boys are just dumb.  At least UVA has been consistently bad but almost good all season.  
11. If I was still betting, and I am not, and I called it in my blog, I would have bet the farm on Arizona this weekend.
12. My boss asks me my bets, I go 4-1 in two days, and then wonders why he isn’t winning. I would have bet the other part of the farm on Ole Miss.  Yes.  The Notre Dame bet would have been idiotic.  An email…ND plus the points at USCOle Miss minus points at home vs. Miss St.

    Florida plus points at FSU

     

    Ones that caught my eye:

    27 points is a lot of points to get at home (Texas Tech)…even if it is Baylor

    I think 15.5 points is a lot the way Minnesota has been playing-think they lose to Wisconsin by a TD

    I think KU plays K State tougher than the 26.5 they are getting

    I always find it fun to bet Oregon and the over, and they will want to beat the HELL out of OSU this year

    I know it is a rivalry game, but I think Bama clears Auburn by two TD’s

     

    I didn’t see any college basketball games I loved.

     

    In NBA, I thought Houston getting 2.5 at Milwaukee was off and kind of like Houston.

13. I just forgot I am on the one sentence system.   Starting, NOW.
14. That is a Seinfeld reference by the way.
15. JJ, pops.
16. I haven’t checked the wire, but is newly back Derrick Rose out again, because I just assume he is?
17. Manziel said the drunk fan “toyed with him” and he diffused it…yeah.
18. Manziel got some play today…oh Lord…here we go.
19. Look at my retweet about Manziel-hilarious, and Lost Lettermen is SO hilarious.  
20. Look at my retween about the nacho guy too.
21. Louis got his 1000^th point, and I would say he is in my top 5 smoothest skaters I have ever seen.  
22. I am glad there is not a women’s Flyers team, so I know that the team losing on the bottom line on ESPN ARE the actual Flyers.
23. Don’t you get PISSED when you see a score, wonder what is going on, ask someone, and find out it is women’s?
24. The US will play Germany in a soccer friendly next summer, I don’t see the point, and German fans are just waiting for EURO the next year.  We are a speed bump.
25. I admit to spending an hour of my life thinking that Arkansas won that game against Missouri.
26. Remember a couple years ago when we all (including me) thought Missouri was going to get WORKED joining the SEC?
27. I feel better in life knowing that Lindsey now pushes ME to watch GOT, although I haven’t said no yet.  
28. Unless there is a sporting event going on…very hectic around here.
29. We watched the living stuffed animal this weekend, and I have made a decision-we either get two dogs or the crated dog goes in the living room on weekends as he wakes up WAY too early.    
30. Hello, Marshall, and thanks for playing.
31. WKU???????
32. Mickey Rourke not only beating a 29 year old but having the fight stopped might motivate me to get back to my old self and be in the gym for 6 days a week.  
33. Why do people go to Black Friday in this internet age?
34. What is a hipster exactly?
35. I call Lindsey “my lady” more and more since GOT came into my life.
36. Hello, Bill Simmons, as I assume you read my blog since my Monday blog last week mirrored your opening to Grantland…6 days later.http://grantland.com/the-triangle/the-week-13-mailbag-giving-thanks-making-picks/
37. Actually, yours mirrored MINE and I didn’t include the IR because I didn’t want to overload people on Pittsburgh.   
38. I am smarter than you, Bill,  if I don’t have a full time job.
39. How does Emilio’s on Colfax not have more foot traffic when they do $1.75 margaritas on a Friday night?
40. Cris Carter, I love your domestic abuse commercials, but the one when no one talks is kind of dumb.
41. Three Amigos will always be a funny movie.  
42. Eight Below will always make me cry multiple times.  
43. White Men Can’t Jump will always make me smile and make me think about every single time I rolled into a New Jersey basketball court when I was eight.  
44. I think Mr. Beane might be outsmarting himself and wanting a Moneyball sequel by trading Donaldson.
45. Georgia Tech WILL beat FSU and bet everything you have and the spread if you are not retired like me.
46. Petrino-scuffle…too funny…interns????  
47. Gorgonzola might be a step child of blue cheese or vice versa, but I think it tastes 10 times better.
48. And that is after I rate blue cheese an 8.
49. Of course, ALL cheese is a 7, but that is neither here not there.
50. WTF, how come I haven’t heard about this movie with Marky Mark and John Goodman called The Gambler?  
51. Doing one sentence per hook still allows me to get my thoughts out, but definitely saves time in my life.
52. I am serious about this every time I write it, and just want ONE ref in the NFL to come out with a Jersey or New York accent.
53. More high scoring, but I told everyone and their mother Bama would win by at least two TD’s.
54. That first three quarters were fun though.
55. Why did UVA bball have to be on the other channel?
56. Reason #1095 to read Deadspin. http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/hey-she-looks-familiar-1664681829
57. Logan and Gabe texted me the nacho guy from Deadspin, and you are late to the game my friends.  
58. Being on a group text with Logan and Mr. Royal in the middle of nothing special has become one of my favorite things in life.
59. It is like the sports version of Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle.
60. I would like to be Aristotle.  
61. Hello, people who live in a vacuum. http://deadspin.com/george-mason-wins-on-75-foot-buzzer-beater-1664689159
62. I am impressed by how Oregon State didn’t allow Oregon to hit the over on their own or together.
63. Real Madrid broke a record for winning 16 straight and I am tired for a week of soccer records being broken.
64. So, Clemson kicked ass AND their QB is on one leg?
65. Derrick Rose, did you see that story?
66. I am pretty sure that reading “torn tendon in groin” in the DeRozan story made me uncomfortable.
67. I have told you my fear in life, right-fighting naked?
68. Notes from the FSU-UF game.  I don’t understand why Muschamp took his first timeout.  I don’t understand how you throw two INT’s in first two minutes, four total, and still win.  I think Verne might be getting a little old.  I think the ref in that game was not there to actually work the game and had other things on his mind.
69. If the announcer says “four down territory” ONE more time in this game, I will throw something at the TV.
70. UVA looked ok again the other night, and I was worried, as New Jersey is probably the fifth biggest hotbed of basketball, and players who don’t have the grades or have the stats go there.
71. The Griz are arguably the best team in the NBA.
72. Hold on, as I am trying to imagine Zach Randolph winning a ring.  
73. I am thinking that the third string QB from Ohio State who is probably an All-American also in HS beats Wisconsin, and makes for one lousy college football playoff semi-final.
74. And TCU and Baylor will be crying like I do three times during Eight Below.  
75. Big Ben should have had 3 more INT’s than he had today.
76. You can argue with the Bo Pelini firing, we can debate on how we all hate Nebraska, then we can talk about how college football is better with them competitive, and then you can submit that I am right about how 3-6 losses per year for them over a time span is NOT acceptable.
77. I am pretty sure the Cleveland Cavaliers won again.
78. I am pretty sure the Sixers are 0-16.
79. I am pretty sure that although I think the Chiefs SHOULD win tonight because they are home, that I KNOW that Peyton won’t lose three in a row.
80. I am pretty sure I am happy that although I missed EVERY AFC North office pool pick today, that my love for the Steelers runs much deeper, and that I am happy that the Steelers control their own destiny because they play the Bengals two times.
81. I am pretty sure that I am excited to see the movie Exodus.  
82. I am pretty sure that putting eggs on anything works in life…and the pizza I had a couple hours ago was delicious.
83. I am pretty sure that if the Rob Lowe commercials don’t stop, I might break our TV.
84. I am pretty sure that being a weatherman would be pretty cool, as you can be wrong and 20 degrees off and you aren’t fired.  
85. I am pretty sure that I did not know who Stedman Bailer was before today.
86. I don’t even know if I spelled his name right.
87. I am pretty sure that I hate fantasy people at the bar who start yelling at their QB THROW it in the second quarter because they started them.
88. I am pretty sure I am pissed I picked up but sat Coby Fleener today.
89. JJ Watt is the FIRST DL to have 5 TD’s in a season…tell your friends.
90. Texas basketball, that was close.
91. I was going to do some shout outs, but I don’t feel like it today.
92. Actually, let’s do a couple just to make people pay attention.
93. Andy, I told you UF would cover.
94. Cerk, you didn’t even mention your photo front and center, which means you don’t read this thing anymore.
95. Peter, good hanging with you at The Last Waltz-he is guy who doesn’t hang out with me at work but we agree on jam bands and Sancho’s.
96. Robert, I hope you didn’t die from a Bama heart attack this weekend.
97. Joseph, are you allowed to read this yet?
98. Matt, seriously, is Candy Crush Soda different or the same?
99. Yes, I have a man crush on Tom Brady-guilty.
100. Ross, we haven’t eaten your shot pheasant yet as she is sick, but it is in the freezer and on the radar.
101. Scott, don’t worry, bro.
102. If you made it this far, I will send you the DVD version of season 5 of Game Of Thrones…as I see it.
103. Gotta go and watch the rest of this Brady-Rodgers matchup. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.
