You ARE the best around, Daniel-san.
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…
Not really on the clock, but I would rather not spend my ENTIRE day with my laptop. Work is finally under control (at 7pm), and now let’s use my laptop for fun ranting. Let’s turn and burn.

1) Why the HELL did the US Open final start at 3pm Mountain? I am supposed to miss NON work hobbies because of sporting events. I am NOT supposed to be working while the thing is going ON. Geez. Just because their matches sometimes end UP being 6 hours doesn’t mean you should SCHEDULE for it.
2) How did I NEVER catch this? Nadal refuses to step ON lines when he is changing over sides. It is quite hilarious to watch actually. He is like a little kid walking down a sidewalk.
3) Saturday. Bama/ A&M. Mayweather/ Alvarez. It is like an Old Milwaukee commercial. It doesn’t get any better than this.
4) The game that broke the camel’s back. I was SUPPOSED to be blogging DURING the match. It is already over. 4-4. Nadal serving in the 3rd set. Down love 40. Up to this point, the HIGHEST level of tennis is being played. Nadal wins the game, BREAKS Djokovic the next game, and then ends up serving to OPEN the fourth set. Djokovic looked like a talented zombie for the rest of the match. Only ONE guy played at a ridiculous level.
5) I don’t notice HD much, because I always forget to switch it over. I will say this. Watching tennis in HD is pretty fancy.
6) Do you all realize that Nadal might not only challenge the all time Slam total, but do it while just chilling at #2, #3, and #4 for most of his career. Odd.
7) My roommate, Joe, made a good point during the match. Why does the US Post Office even HAVE commercials? It is not like they are competing against anyone for their services. It is not like I have a CHOICE of mail boxes to send mail from.
8) Yes, Lindsey has informed me you DO technically have a choice. UPS, Fed Ex, etc. But still…
9) We are now transitioning to watching Dexter. Yes, Logan. Dexter is more important presently than this demolition that is the Philly-Washington game.
10) Hey, at least when I was drinking the Chip Kelly Kool Aid during my fantasy football draft, I wasn’t THAT far off. GO, Michael Vick.
11) Hey, Scott. Don’t be sad. Your Skins WOULD be in first place in the AFC North though. MY team is tied for first. Yay.
12) Dennis Rodman will be returning to North Korea. Some part of me thinks that the fact that the first visit went at ALL well means we should not push our luck with Mr. Rodman. Keep him here, people. At least he is trying to take Karl Malone or Scottie Pippen.
12a) What’s that, Lindsey? He is already BACK. SO glad she sometimes reads this thing right after posting or reads it over my shoulder. Anyway, let’s just not send him a THIRD time. I think two times of OUR craziest lad going into a bad country WITHOUT incident is like getting a straight on an off-suited 7 and 2.
12b) I mean I DO work 65 hours a week. Cut me a break, people.
13) Hey, I don’t feel like looking up the spelling of your crazy first name Suh. Stop playing dirty. That low block was SO far out of the play it was ridiculous.
14) I went 2-0 in fantasy, did well in my office pool (that is coincidentally not with my office), and advanced my boss in a losers pool. The fact remains that Pittsburgh and UVA got smoked. Pools are pools and allegiance is allegiance.
15) With the Steelers, we can’t look any WORSE, right? Only up from here, folks. They gave up the present title for most opening day wins. We sucked.
16) Just a heads up. I am putting some good stuff on the “weekend rant list.” Too much on this sheet of paper to do everything today. The weekend won’t necessarily be second tier stuff.
17) F^&*ing great (sorry, Mom). I don’t draft Anquan Boldin for the first time since he has been in the league, and he lights it up. F^&*.
18) How did the bad guys even think about taking Liam Neeson’s kid TWICE?
19) Ron Jaworski at least looks like a genius for one more week, and Lindsey also looks like a genius. I was NOT drinking the Kaepernick Kool-Aid at FFL draft time, nor while reading Jaws say that Colin could be the best ever. Kind of glad that dude is on my team right about now.
20) Not quite as happy as Peyton owners, but pretty happy.
21) Hey, Kurt (d-bag from the fantasy draft). Take THAT. 1-0, bro. You are like the AFC North and 0-1.
22) Dumdy dum dum. Copy and paste. Serena won the Open. Serena! Retire. It would be SO cool.
23) Dolphins WR and Steeler traitor Mike Wallace is already starting trouble. Him and Roddy White owners are not very happy about right now. About their use, their production, OR fantasy owners. Not on EITHER of my teams.
24) The Cardinals swept the Pirates to make sure no one puts the cart in front of the horse yet.
25) The Bills gave the Pats a run yesterday, and they barely lost. Funnier were the fans who decked out in Hernandez prison gear attending the game. Nice touch.
26) Braxton Miller is “stiff and day to day.” Ohio State fans are miserable and also day to day. They have a nice remaining 21 starting players, and the backup did fine, but Braxton is the wheels, the oil, the steering wheel, etc. of that car.
27) I am going to call off work tomorrow. I am going to try out for the Giants RB job AND the Jets QB position. They both play at the same stadium. I am killing two birds with one stone. And they obviously need some talent…or warm bodies.
28) There might be better things on the menu, but when I go to a Mexican restaurant, I order a Chimichanga. Say it. Chimichanga. What a great word.
29) I just realized I might have already told you that this weekend. Whoops. I was kind of loopy for some of the other rant, and it IS on my list.
30) I would say that Michigan beating Notre Dame was a nice statement win, but considering we all aren’t sure either team is better than just decent, I say it proves nothing.
31) Geno Smith. It is EASY. Just go out to a drug store, buy a nice thank you greeting card, and then send it. That penalty bailed you out at home. Admit it.
32) Maybe the refs from the San Fran-GB game were playing scrabble or Trivial Pursuit in the offseason. Definitely not studying up on that rulebook.
33) The Steelers looked abysmal, but that Troy Polamalu sack was pretty dirty. He still has it. HE is not the problem. I can tell you THAT.
34) What the hell did I write about when there was no football on? I am overloaded.
35) I say Bama rolls A&M. I had beers with Nick Saban Sunday night. We are both OVER this Johnny Football thing. Luckily, he can do something about it. I can’t do much from my couch. I didn’t really make it big in my endeavors.
36) Don’t be worried about the Colts making it interesting against the Raiders. The Raiders MIGHT have a glimmer of hope in Pryor, but they are still a bad team. Luck just needed a wake up call. Solid squad if you ask me.
37) If I do transitive property and other mathematical equations, then UVA is better than Texas football, right?
38) USC is out of the top 25. What are they DOING with all of those recruiting classes? Seriously, they are like the early 2000’s version of Texas basketball.
39) To add insult to injury, the Steelers lost Larry Foote and Maurkice Pouncey during their debacle. So. Let me get this straight. Not only do I have no clue HOW they looked bad HEALTHY, but they now deduct two players that I KNOW are good. Fancy.
40) TOLD you the Saints would not go anywhere down this year. Nice win vs. the Falcons, guys.
41) I would like to thank Marques Colston for scoring 12 points on my bench.
42) The Seahawks impressed me in their win this weekend. I bought into Wilson as a QB in college (as I picked him wrongly to win it all), but not as a NFL QB. I just think his lack of size will limit him at some point. Unless we are talking about the 2000’s version of Doug Flutie.
43) Did Tony Romo point in concern last night at a DB and then throw it DIRECTLY AT him?
44) The Giants are worse than I thought.
45) I am sad that Eli is my backup QB.
46) Karate Kid was on last night, meaning a perfect football flipper. Sad to find out that the theme isn’t my ring tone on Lindsey’s phone, but I will get by. Thanks for the concern. Networks, can you have that movie air a LITTLE earlier on Sundays? 10pm is WAY pushing it.
47) Lindsey made some mac and cheese last night with bacon, tomatoes, and other stuff. It was gangsta good and I was kind of depressed when it was gone.
48) That Wes Welker 40 minute shower commercial is FUNNY. I almost missed HUNDREDS of swim team races taking a shower as a kid. I HEAR you, you 18 point FFL scoring WR.
49) Did I have a little too much to drink, or did I see Jan Claude Van Damme in a Go Daddy commercial last night?
50) At least last night gave us one FANTASTIC thing. A Kyle Orton sighting.
51) That is it. Hope you enjoyed. Will I blog tomorrow? That is a CLOWN question, bro. Peace.
