What’s your vector, Victor?

Thoughts for the day…no daily blog template until all subscriber order is stable.  And, since I have to make SEVEN software updates tomorrow on WordPress, THAT could change.  Let’s just shoot for a 2017 blog template re-introduction.

1. I organized work for tomorrow at gate and realized that if I don’t get SOMETHING on this full sheet of blog ideas, then the short flight from Tulsa to Denver won’t be enough time to write one. Starting this at gate before leaving.  Let’s move.
2. Seriously, Southwest, how DOES your seating WORK? I literally signed in 5 minutes after my colleague on purpose, we are both early bird, and he got A32 and I got A30.  Nothing makes sense.    Just like fares and schedules, you airports are in full control.  Assuming that is the first group of machines to act when Terminator occurs and the machines take over…
3. No intern still, and DEFINITELY not editing a pure Airplane Cast when I get home after 10pm, so deal with grammatical errors. Thank you.
4. And know some of the beginnings of my hooks get left off when I copy and paste from Word for some reason.
5. Love Jay Z throwing out the “posse” reference when introducing LeBron this week.
6. Not sure I love that Donald Trump is all over social media in a “meeting” with Kanye West. Have no CLUE what to think actually.  Either him, his wig, or his wife are trying alternative methods of approval.  Better than REAL political meetings I assume…
7. Every time I sit down and read and NBA article and the Grizzlies come up, I get a gag reflex when realizing that Mike Conley is the highest paid NBA player presently. Highest, people.    The machines are wiping their chops if that is the max guy…(the machines that will be taking over-keep up).
8. Without him, they torched the Warriors by 21 oddly.
9. By the way, here is a trivia question. When WEREN’T the Griz injured, depleted, or a MASH unit.  I feel like they are missing their best years.  Kind of like the united, team version of Tracy McGrady.
10. I love Tulsa Airport. It is 6:58pm and where I sit in view of five gates has not ONE person I can see, and I am only two gates down from the gate where my flight is leaving.  It is like I am at 1^st and 1^st-the nexus of the universe.
11. I would debate getting food for the flight, but I am pretty sure everything shuts down at 7pm. Glad I have not the time nor the funds to feel like having a couple pops at the airport tonight (hardly ever actually-too expensive).
12. Thoughts and prayers, Chad Bettis.
13. Thoughts and prayers to the family of ex-Raven Konrad Reuland, and classy for Harbaugh to open up a postgame presser after a LOSS mentioning Konrad.
14. Glad my next hook will be written faster than the left turn signal in Michael Floyd’s lane.
15. Glad my next hook will be more pure and loyal than Wake Forest radio announcers.
16. Glad my next hook will not be as premature as talking about Russell Westbrook averaging a triple double for the SEASON.
17. Glad I don’t need my next hooked returned by Devin Hester.
18. Glad my next hook is more on course than a Sounders parade trolley.
19. Not sure what kind of roll that was above, but these things just happen. I am glad you are still reading.  Moving on.
20. I am envisioning the scene where Vontaze Burfict apologized to Antonio Brown…when they “crossed paths” in Miami. Let me see.  Ballers theme music.  Miami beach video mural.  Hookers by the pool.  Posse rolls up on posse.  Brown’s posse was bigger, and Burfict was drunk.  Convo ensues.  Burfict says sorry as he is slurring, but says “you better announce that publicly in passing in some interview, Boomin!!!!”
21. Yeah…kind of like I envisioned every person’s back story sitting at my bar while bartending for those years.
22. Simone Biles deserves ALL of the awards she can get. DESERVES them.  I just didn’t know there was an “2016 ESPNW Impact Woman of the Year” award.  That’s all.  Can’t we acronym that?  Ummmm… EIWOY…never mind.  Keep saying all the words.  Moving on.
23. Dak has two subpar games and people are talking Romo again?  Relax, people.  Glad to see it doesn’t take much to knock Cowboys fans off of their fragile bandwagon.  When Dez Bryant complains and wants Romo back, I will believe it.
24. That was very, very, very sarcastic, all.
25. I know you know people, Derek Carr.  You can track down other athletes numbers.  So, the need for you to talk to Johnny Football through the media…is just stupid?  Am I missing something here?  Pick up the PHONE.  It is irritating, not adorable.
26. The top 11 stayed the same in college bball. Probably for another week too.  We have that whole exam/ holiday thing going on, so less games.  Beginning of  January the s%^& hits the fan again when conference play starts up.
27. The ACC is going to beat the living HELL out of each other.
28. I initially was going to make jokes about the Dodgers and the signing of Kenley Jansen, but then looked at his stats. They are legit.  Dude deserves some money.
29. Nah, I can still make fun of the Dodgers. Re-inventing the spending wheel that was the early 2000’s Yankees.  With ONE difference.  ONE of them was winning championships while spending a boatload.
30. Glad Ronaldo won the Ballon d’Or. Otherwise, he would have had to skip out on practice to get that hair coloring taken care of.  Bold move…but dammit…he was right.
31. Miomir Kecmanovic. Won in tennis the 18’s singles again.  He is 17.  Where do all of these great young players GO?  I feel like I have memorized 100 different tennis players who were 17 or 18 in the last decade and NONE of them have done any damage on the real circuit.
32. So, last week, Tennessee picked up a top recruit who was also looking at Bama. This week, order was restored as Bama picked up the #1 LB in a very low key media story.  Dylan Moses.  Dylan?  Sounds more like an Oregon or Ohio State football player’s name.
33. The Buccaneers win games truly the hard way. They tried as much as they could to let New Orleans have that game.
34. I don’t feel as bad for UVA not making the soccer final four teams. They got knocked out by the eventual winner, and that winner did not allow ONE goal during the whole tourney….the first time that has happened since Wisconsin did it in 1995.
35. I am so excited to do absolutely nothing this weekend.
36. I am excited to travel nowhere next week.
37. That big wind day we had yesterday was the sound of NFL executives getting the news that the Supreme Court won’t hear the concussion case.
38. Todd Gurley is calling his team a middle school team, Jeff Fisher is out the door, and I am SOOO excited to find out where the next era of mediocrity will occur AKA Jeff Fisher’s next coaching job.
39. Reddit did a HILARIOUS take on Lane Kiffin, saying if you read his career in REVERSE, it actually sounds like a normal coaching career. Check it out on my tweets.  I retweeted Jim Weber as I usually do.  I think that was this morning.
40. No Twitter? First of all, get with it.  Second of all, just visualize it going from directional to OC at prominent school to head coach at prominent school to NFL.  Kind of funny when I just shorten it like that.
41. Hayes better have been found guilty of SOMETHING. Eight freaking shots at someone with seven going in the back?
42. I feel like the Falcons are like the early 2000’s Phoenix Suns. They are fun offense to watch until the playoffs slow everything down.  But fun as hell for now…Matty Ice.  Steve Nash.  Julio Jones.  Amare Stoudemire.
43. I actually don’t know a whole hell of a lot about Seton Hall’s basketball team this year (yet), but dammit if they aren’t winning me some cash overall.
44. One thing about traveling for work is that it is nice I am getting meal money back for per diem. I feel like when I travel for pleasure these days like I should pack a week’s worth of Lunchables.  It hurts more to buy something.
45. I actually put Lunchables on ice in the hotel bucket last night, since it was cold (no A/C for room) and no fridge. “Lunchables on Ice.”
46. No one cares. I get it.  But if you do at the clip of 1%, the OTHER cat has that eye shit going on.  Not sure if they make Munchkin Cat neck collars. #twocatmark having cat problems.
47. I enjoyed the Adam Jones garbage rant. I think it would be funnier…you know…if we didn’t already know he was an idiot AND if the Bengals were any good.
48. Damn, Pryor is so disliked though. Even Hue Jackson called him out.  So, dare I say that Adam Jones might be right??????     Can’t be.  That would be like calling JR Smith a smart man.  Not true.
49. OK, Matt Moore. There really is no down side…once again for you.
50. Oh, Richard Sherman, you might make good points about Thursday Night Football, and I agree with you, but can’t you ONCE say your complaint like someone who MIGHT have gone to Stanford??? Is that like East Side-Palo Alto you are speaking?  Cardinal Ghetto?  Gang Red?
51. Hey, Baron Davis, I like your Black Santa idea. Could you have made the logo/ pic for your company any MORE like your photo?  Just saying.  Love the idea though.
52. I liked Woody’s in Tulsa for watching the first half of MNF. I think the best sign of a dive bar is when they don’t have a kitchen, serve potato chips, and allow you to bring in outside food.
53. Even being a dive bar, they still had Driver License Scanners.  Big Brother.  Orwell would be proud and probably would have drank there regardless.
54. Had to leave quickly though…they started karaoke. Turned off the freaking GAME sound.
55. And WHAT karaoke DJ starts his night playing Faithfully by Journey? How is THAT a hook to keep people in a Tulsa bar?
56. Heard Chicago and Steve Winwood on this trip at various times in public places. The 80’s version of each.  Talk about totally joining a bandwagon.  Winwood sung for a LEGENDARY classic rock band and Chicago used to be 70’s groove.  And what did they do in the 80’s?  Scratched everything they believed in, changed their sound to the present, and totally whipped everyone’s ass.  My deep thought for the day.  You’re the Inspiration and Valerie were the two songs we heard.
57. I don’t bet on or against the Steelers. But, during my 20 minutes ride from my beach hotel to my parents’ place in Vero Beach, Teddy Covers was on the radio and gives the public his play of  the week and it was them…then I make a brief exception.
58. I don’t have time to get into the NHL right now, but…HERE COME THE FLYERS.
59. One column left on the list.  Time to go get ready to board.  Talk to you on the flight at 10,000 feet.
60. Exit row with no seat in front, and that is only convenient for my Diet Dr. Pepper because there is an open seat next to me.
61. I knew the Packers were bringing it this weekend.  Yes.  I bet on it.  Yes, I regret not putting a little more on the line than my low stakes/ entertaining stuff.
62. What a weird power shift. The Lions now have a hurt thumb on Stafford that will NOT go away and will be there for this season, and the Packers are…looking like the Packers.
63. I will continue with Westworld. Yes, I want to get to the craziness in the final episodes.  I just finished episode 6.  But, I will say this again.  There is no HAMMER that has been dropped early to hook me.  I am actually staying hooked after seeing the crazy eyes of people talking in the office about the last couple of episodes.  Oh, and I need some freaking answers even IF I quit.
64. Game of Thrones killed a person or two to be the hammer. I guess you can’t exactly kill a robot and call it a hammer.
65. When I watched the Steelers Sunday, I found myself muttering repeatedly Bell, Ben INT, Bell, Bell, Bell, Brown, Bell, Bell, Ben INT, Bell, Bell, Brown, Ben INT, Bell, Bell…something like that.
66. I think Jennifer Lawrence is taking over for Morgan Freeman…meaning I feel like she CONSTANTLY has a movie out on video and in the theaters.
67. DON’T, Jennifer. Do NOT start narrating ones you are NOT in.  I would rather you just keep making more Hunger Games movies.
68. It was weird staying at a Hilton instead of a casino traveling for work. I forgot my Hilton credentials it had been so long.
69. I took some Tulsa pics, and they are decent, and I don’t think they will remind me to show them tomorrow. Today I can’t.  This is a blind airplane cast now.  Not missing anything on the pics.
70. I am not an idiot. I know there will be more and more times when “I feel old (fat chance).”  Watching football Sunday, someone behind me was commenting on a touchdown dance and said “back in the old days Owens and Johnson really did some crazy stuff.”  Old days, aye?  Righto, youngo bucko.
71. I have no idea why I just said those three weird words that I have never said before. Let’s not dwell.  No pops in me even.  Moving on…
72. It has been TWENTY years since Jerry Maguire came out?  Ugghhh.
73. Not only scary about that soccer explosion that killed 38 people was that THIRTY of those people were officers, who were the target.
74. The Browns have given up trying to draft a QB early and are in love with A&M’s Myles Garrett. Well, don’t draft a Bama guy, Browns.  Then those 2016 Bama vs. 2016 Browns jokes would continue.
75. They haven’t given up on a QB. Just kidding.  They get another first round pick to try on someone.
76. That NYG-PITTSBURGH deflated story was like the quickest wire hit on and off the charts of the SEASON. I barely even heard about it.
77. Speaking of charts, in Vero Beach, I listened to a countdown of the longest running 70’s and 80’s hits on the charts consecutively. I had a good guess for both the 70’s and 80’s but forgot they weren’t talking about #1 hits.  They were talking just being ON the charts.  Top song?  Guesses?  No, it was NOT I Love Rock n ’Roll (my guess).  Tainted Love was the #1.  I think it was 41 weeks on the Billboard charts.  Useless facts.  Tell your friends.
78. ALSO watching football at the Snug, there was a Steelers fan there. One of THOSE Steelers fans.  Woman who yelled ridiculously every good play…or when she looked up from her mimosa.  THOSE people give us a bad name.    I love my Steelers to death.  I DON’T like most Steelers fans.
79. I feel like I didn’t hear enough Talib-gun jokes when he got the back of Chris Harris Sunday with the Douglas hit. How did THAT gun story just go away?
80. I will be honest with you. I kind of dug the baseball/ pitching TD celebration by Emmanuel Sanders Sunday.
81. Cincy football just hired Fickell as the best fit, and I already have 5 last name jokes when they lose their first game.
82. Thanks, Southwest, for the ritual of giving me salty snacks 10 minutes before you get me my drink.  Love you guys though…
83. My mom asked me when I went to FL if I liked peanuts, and I got a weird look (understandably) when I said “only on airplanes.” It is true.  I would NEVER purchase them.    But, I accept Southwest’s gift to me a couple times a month.
84. CP III got 20/20 in a game and was the first Clipper to do so. He reads this blog I am told and must have been pissed about my Melo-LeBron-Him comments.  If this motivates you, CP, then…GREAT.  Rock ON.
85. Scary stat of the freaking day.  LeBron is the first forward ever to get 7,000 assists in his career.    He is 31 years old.
86. By the way, Orlando Airport sucks. Failed in a lot of my categories.  Actually, the only thing they passed on my list was that the rental car place was IN the terminal.
87. I don’t know why. I just loved this headline.  I have so much hatred for two of the people in this sentence.  “Kobe gives Melo advice on Phil.”
88. Listening to my iPod Shuffle. Not sure if you are supposed to pick a funeral song set, but if you are, please make a note to play Pilgrims by Widespread Panic.  The Light Fuse, Get Away version.  Plus, now that I am #twocatmark, it makes even more sense because he talks about kitty cats.
89. Wow, that MNF football game started crazy last night. Safety, that awesome FB run, a FG block, and the interception by McCourty.
90. (during descent trolling a couple USA Today stories)
91. Looking quickly at the Golden Globe nominations, surprised Finding Dory got no love.
92. MORE surprised Sully and the Eastwood/ Hanks team got no love either.
93. I find it entertaining looking at the Jeff Sagarin football rankings. You see 2-3 teams in SOOOO bad of order in comparison to the actual rankings.
94. You know South Florida and Southern Cali are football hotbeds when there are TWO teams in the USA Today HS football rankings top ten with TWO losses on the season.
95. I don’t know what this La La Land thing is that is getting nominations, but the picture I see is Ryan Gosling dancing ballroom with some chick and it looks…like I won’t be watching it.
96. Someone go see this Star Wars “story” and just give me the synopsis in a one pager so I can skip it. Let me know if they can’t find Luke or if that Death Star is being built.
97. In the Golden Globes, they complained about Anthony Hopkins being snubbed. I don’t agree.  I think after this 20^th iteration of Anthony Hopkins being GOOD but being the SAME character that we SHOULDN’T shower him with awards.  I think he has won enough for this consistent character already.
98. Ok, THANK you USA Today. After completing perusing your Life section today, I found your newest article on Rogue One.  You answer the dumb questions people like me have.  And you do it in a funny way.  #kellylawler THANK you.  Much appreciated.  NOW I understand.
99. On final descent. Going to post this in Uber on way home so the blog is OFF my plate for a day.
100. And my delay in the new blog template means…a delay in prizes, Rudy.
101. That’s it for today. Hope you enjoyed or are at least more informed.  Will I blog tomorrow?  That is a CLOWN question, bro.  Onward and upward.
