Thoughts for the day…one day closer to Sunday.

1. Greetings and salutations, people.  Thanks for coming aboard (the boat).  Let’s move.
2. Melo, just tell Phil you will waive your NT clause.  Just end this disaster.  My Twitter guy showed last night’s ending to the game and commented they are basically playing the same type of game…82 times.  Brutal.
3. Jose Bautista is back with the Blue Jays as of today.  He is excited.  They are excited.  Basically, the Blue Jays need a big bat, and no one wanted or likes Jose.  Match made in heaven.
4. Shame to hear about Maurice Watson, Jr.  Dude was averaging 8.5 assists for a quality Creighton team.  Not only will they miss his assists on 44% of scores when on floor, but they will have to slow down too.  Dangerous team, but not a contender without him.
5. That Islanders job is nothing to sneeze at.  They are playing around .500 and that is a disappointment for this season.  Wouldn’t be a horrible gig.
6. I am slowly adding to my workout tunes arsenal.  MAN, was I behind on ALL fronts.  Literally been listening to same songs for like 5 years.  But, in my fancy personal Google Doc for my life now, I have a music tab, and lots of blank spaces ready for Linkin Park, Disturbed, Three Days Grace, Skillet, and others.
7. I said don’t poke the bear, Roger Goodell.  I didn’t say IGNORE him totally.  So, you are skipping out on the Pats-Steelers this weekend.  Staying on that NFC side a little more?  You are totally walking into idiocism.  Not sure if that is a word.  Don’t think so.  It is for today.  It is the act of consistently being an idiot and/or Roger Goodell.  Shouldn’t have pushed for that suspension, bro…
8. I hope YOU don’t get Brady more pissed off enough to beat my Steelers…
9. And told you Tomlin would not like that video from Brown.  I heard people debate it all morning and then Tomlin just lays down the hammer.  Should have.  It WAS selfish.
10. (but we still need him VERY badly on Sunday, ok, Tomlin?)
11. Chris Paul (literally just announced) will miss 6-8 weeks.  Not good for Clippers fans.  They already have cooled down after their start.  No Griffin.  No Paul.  They are in the fourth slot right now, and would host the Jazz.  They are only 4 games out of falling to the #7 spot.  Luckily the Blazers are upside down on .500 at #8 so, they will probably stop right about there.
12. The Clips play the Timberwolves on Thursday.  14-27.  TOLD you the Timberwolves were going to be awesome this year.
13. I am not a big remake guy, but yes, Blake Griffin, make that remake of White Men Can’t Jump.  Sounds like a fancy plan.  I support fully.
14. I find it funny that the richest, most unlikable athlete will host a show about ex-athletes that are financially strapped.  Yes, A-Rod, you beat the system fully.
15. Today at work there was free pizza.  As you regular readers know, that means today was a great, great, great day for Mark Filler.  I ate 10 slices, waited an hour, worked out, and then ate another 7 or so slices of the leftovers.
16. Dammit.  I meant to put a couple slices in the fridge for tomorrow.  dammit again.  Sloppy.  Maybe someone else remembered.
17. Thoughts and prayers, Jimmy Superfly Snuka.  If I HAD a favorite wrestler, he was it.  Odd that he died weeks after getting his case dismissed.  Happy trails…
18. How can your day be complete without watching The Mountain from GOT throw around some washers trying to break the record?  How?  http://io9.gizmodo.com/watch-gots-the-mountain-hurl-another-washing-machine-in-1791255345
19. Weak if you didn’t click on it.  Not spam.  Legit.  Ugghhh.
20. Watched some highlights of the Pens-Caps game last night.  Not much that game didn’t have except for high level goalie play.
21. I guess the Cavs really took to heart that saying that John McEnroe used to say.  “If you are going to miss, miss big.”  They got SMOKED.  Home court advantage not important in THEIR conference, but they are behind the Spurs, Warriors, and neck and neck with the Rockets.  You can’t just give those away.
22. I don’t know if John McEnroe actually said that, but I have been telling people that for 25 years, so why stop now.
23. THREE Ducks players went to the hospital?  Coach must be really pissed about their record this year, or those players tied one ON during bowl season.
24. Saving pics for another more fun blog day…
25. I deleted Anthony’s show text.  I am sad, but I like to keep a tidy phone, and I couldn’t figure it out.  Dammit.
26. 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.
