Winter is coming.

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.  No, it is not an airplane cast.  Saturday afternoon blog in front of football.  Super-speed version.  Let’s turn and burn.

DISCLAIMER:  This blog is sarcastic and is intended as harmless fun only.  This is not a blog for sensitive readers.  Know that any seemingly derogatory or abrasive statements are NOT MEANT AT ANY LEVEL OF SERIOUSNESS.  Read on ONLY after accepting the above statements.

1.  Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  On the clock big time.  Floozies tonight and it will be a late afternoon and on affair.  Let’s clear this list as I don’t feel like writing a book on Steelers Sunday.  Let’s move.
2. The Red River Shootout…is truly a SHOOTOUT.  Both teams responding with big play after big play.  Fun game.  Well, in this house, IF OU wins.
3. I just went to the grocery store.  It would be a fun video watching me shop.  I leave with a full cart like I have 8 kids.  I don’t shop for Lindsey.  I eat…a lot.
4. Why don’t I freak out about not having hot sauce at Einsteins?  Deep thoughts…weird.
5. I have my betting system down.  Pick two games to go bigger on.  Dabble with 2 or 3 parlays that pay out nicely.  I hit one minor parlay and 1 of the 2 bigger games and I live to fight another day easily.
6. Of course, sometimes I wish I would listen to my gut and go bigger on games like Clemson last night or Auburn today.  Hindsight-20/20.
7. Geez, that thing that happened to Liriano you wonder how it doesn’t happen more…and HOPE it doesn’t.
8. Love the Ole Miss coach saying if it was his family (about Chad Kelly), he might have gone on field too.
9. Hey, David Price.  $217 million arm.  0-8 in postseason.  5.74 ERA.
10. I won’t bore you with more chicken head jokes.  I think most are out there for your enjoyment already.
11. My parents’ house is OK.  Thanks for being gentle on them, Hurricane Matthew.
12. My mom told her friends when talking about the incoming Hurricane named after my older brother…glad it wasn’t Hurricane Mark.
13. Someday Notre Dame will decisively win a game it should.
14. If you would have told me before the season that Oregon and FSU would both be 0-2 in conference play going into this weekend, I would have told you that you were nuts.
15. Yes, damn right I am taking Oregon at home and getting 10 plus points.  When ever will that happen again.  Plus, I am still mad at Washington for beating the heck out of Stanford.
16. Not editing this.  My intern, Doug, is at the A&M-Tennessee game (he gets great benefits at The Fillerbuster).  Sorry for any grammatical errors.
17. Love my woman.  “Will you be going to my friend’s birthday brunch tomorrow?”  No.  Steelers.  “Ok, babe.  Enjoy on the couch.”
18. I will catch up more on MLB tomorrow.  Limited remarks today.  No time today.  Lots of games last night.  Love postseason baseball.
19. I think the MLB postseason is not made fun of for being too long like hockey and NFL.  Make the divisional series seven games, people.  Or at least make the wildcard game best of three.
20. Do you remember when we were questioning Clemson’s offense.  Seems like a while ago, aye?
21. Thanks for the readership and tell your friends.  Stats are pretty good.
22. And to a limited number of you, feel free to send over guest blogs.  Doesn’t have to be long.  Just on target and less random than my dribble.  I sometimes like my days off.
23. Sticking with my exact MLB postseason predictions thus far I posted right before they kicked the postseason off.  Aside from the Nats dropping game 1, I am spot on.
24. I wonder how long the Zach Britton nightmares will continue for Buck Showalter.  Sleep tight, my man.
25. Love how Gronk talks about getting around town and getting shit from people about his fantasy stats.  I might do the same thing.  Wake UP, bro.  Thank God Superman is back.  I need a fantasy push, Gronk.
26. Some might say that Ichiro is overstaying his welcome.  Look at his stats.  You would take .291 for ANY MLB’er.  You would definitely take those stats for a 42 year old.
27. I talk to my cat in GOT language.  Winter’s coming is what I say to Jackson as the cats are in separated quarters in our small condo.  Winter’s here will be the first time they are in the same room. #twocatmark
28. Not sure which cat is which character.  I am guessing Jackson is the White Walker and Charlee is Daenerys.  I hope Jackson knows that Charlee has dragons if that is the case.  Glad I have a big patio.
29. No, there will NOT be a third cat who can be Jon Snow.  No.  A dog WILL join this pet rotation at some point.
30. The Indians starting rotation isn’t that healthy or great, yet the mighty season long Red Sox bats are quiet as a mouse.
31. I will post pics of the Great American Beer Festival tomorrow.  Tomorrow will be more of a PICTURE day.  I will wait until I have my Red Rocks pics from tonight.
32. The 49ers get the Cardinals at HOME against Drew Stanton, who hasn’t done anything good since MSU.  They lose by a couple of scores.  Listen, Chip.  Kaep kneels a lot, but I think you could talk him into not taking a knee ON the field.
33. So…when are they making up the LSU-UF game.  They will HAVE to play that game to have the SEC play out.
34. By the way, I am sticking to my guns.  Tennessee I predicted were my dark horse pick for the CFP before the season started.  They have looked crappy, but they go and beat A&M today.
35. Or, at least cover the seven points.
36. I care about Gordon Hayward’s health, but not a) during the preseason b) not on the first page of the wire c) not during MLB postseason and d) not during pro and college football.
37. The Ice Tea commercial was on again.  Still, to do this day, I chuckle out loud on my couch and yell out randomly “READ THE SIGN.”
38. I have decided I have missed a song in karaoke that I need to try.  Would, by Alice in Chains.  Never tried it, but it is right in my wheelhouse.
39. So…the Colts GM is throwing Luck under the bus for a contract HE gave him for the reason why their defense sucks?  I need a flow chart.
40. I always need a flow chart.  LOVE them.
41. So, this woman testifying against Derrick Rose only loses if they prove that she invited three large men to have sex with her in one night?  Whoa.
42. Yes, Mr. Wade.  LeBron CAN’T pass MJ in greatness.
43. (listening to the people pull up stats about how MJ’s greatness was later in his career…whatever…MJ rules…go away)
44. When you realize the Jays have a lethal hitting lineup, you then go check out their overall pitching and say…whoa.
45. So, OBJ is not having fun AND being fined…poor guy.
46. Tiger Woods.  I love you.  Well, I LOVED you past tense.  STOP telling us you are playing any single golf tournament until it actually happens.  I don’t need weekly updates on your status for next January.  Go to Perkins, bro.  24 hour.
47. Tomorrow I will tell you interesting beers I had at GABF that you should seek out.  The given in the proof is a) EVERY IPA is pretty much good, so I didn’t list those 15 beers and b) my list for some odd reason stopped being added to about two hours into the show…weird.  How did that happen?
48. I think Arkansas is going to give Bama everything tonight and at least scare the hell out of them.
49. (and hopefully lose by less than 14 pts)
50. I WILL tell you one story from last night.  I started waiting in a long bathroom line and the worst possible thing that could happen…happened.  Answer at the end of this blog.
51. Reports and then I have to go pack for Red Rocks tonight.  I AM a Master Packer and boy scout combined.  
52. 

Daily Reports…

FINANCES:  I owe Vince a beer.

(Notice something different above?????  Yes.  It happened.  Bryan S. paid me my $40 (prompted of course with another reminder).  I need someone else to borrow money from me so I can note it daily in something they will never read.  You have to have goals.)

VINCE’S SPANISH:  Quiet on the Spanish front.

STAKEHOLDERS:  No updates.  Rudy is the only person to make money (still owed).

SOCIAL MEDIA: 484, 59

PRIZES:  No prizes today.

TIME:  Greg, 31 minutes door to door.

DAILY TRIVIA (sorry-Google is too powerful and you can look it up, so the daily prize has to be about…me):  No prizes today.

WEEKEND SCHEDULE: GABF last night, Floozies tonight, Steelers and time on the couch tomorrow.

TWO CAT MARK NOTES: Ugghhh.  This integration period keeping them separated is brutal.

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.  Peace.
