now that the stench of the weekend is off of me

i took a long, hot shower this afternoon. i had to get the stench of the weekend off of me. hopefully it worked.

the New York Yankees saw their winning streak come to an end yesterday, losing 4-2 to Tampa Bay. they fell back 1 game each in the division and wild card race. they start a series against the Dodgers tonight to finish out the homestand. MUST win games for both teams, so it should be interesting.

the New Orleans Saints pissed away a lead and a tremendous game from Drew Brees yesterday to lose to Oakland, 35-34. so much for the defense being improved.

those two losses sort of left me in a funk for the rest of the day. my fantasy teams didn't do much better. i have no hope of winning my CBS Sports league game. i have 2 players going tonight, but i'm down 40 points and my opponent has the Steelers best WR going tonight. i'll chalk that up as a loss. my NFL.com league game is a little better. i'm trailing by a little over 3 points, mostly thanks to Drew Brees. i have a WR from the Rams going tonight and my opponent has a RB from the 49ers going tonight. hopefully i can squeeze out a victory.

thankfully, the Sunday night shows were excellent last night.

Lip Sync Battle was hilarious.

Big Brother was pretty funny. why are people shocked when they get fucked over on this show?

Ray Donovan was pretty good last night. the season finale should be interesting. Masters of Sex was good last night. hopefully this season will be better than the last one. Vice Principals was fucking hilarious last night. it sort of reminded me what happens when i drink too much tequila. Ballers was funny, mostly because of all the football players on the show. and finally, The Strain was fucking fantastic last night.

WWE Backlash was really good last night. i loved all the new champions. the pace and storytelling of the show was excellent and it got done at a decent time that i could still have some energy to watch all the other shows on the night. excellent work.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight, i'll be flipping back and forth between Monday Night Raw and the two NFL games tonight.

mom didn't call the doctor's office today like i wanted her to. she wants to wait for the chiropractor to tell her how bad it really is. so i guess she needs a second opinion on her own pain.

i'll probably have to go to the grocery store tomorrow, probably after i take mom to the chiropractor. i'm sure the people watching my credit cards are wondering what the fuck is going on. going from barely being used each month to now being used multiple times each week, i can see why they might think they have been stolen.

i hope everyone had a better weekend than me. i'm not setting the bar that high anymore.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...

i always wondered what life would be like in Seattle

we have had somewhere close to 3 inches of rain here in the last 24 hours or so. not exactly fun for a guy dealing with arthritis, but that's life. thankfully, it's not nearly as bad as what other places in the country have got. but, it does remind me that i won't be living in the Pacific Northwest anytime soon in my life.

the New York Yankees got killed yesterday 12-3. if they would have won, it would have been the first time all season they would have been 5 games over .500. that should explain just how mediocre they have been this season. they start a series with Toronto tonight. this series should clearly show if they have a chance at the playoffs or not.

team USA men's basketball team won 100-97 over a France team playing without Tony Parker yesterday. if they don't get better defensively, i wouldn't be shocked if there is no gold medal this year. i did like that one sports guy pointed out the biggest hole on the team... no LeBron James. life is always easier when the best in the world is on your side.

Big Brother was pretty funny last night. i love that Paulie's game is totally fucked now. i'm sure his brother is proud.

all of the Sunday night shows were excellent last night. The Night Of was spectacular. Ballers was hilarious. Vice Principals was really funny. Power was off the charts fucking amazing. at least 3 holy shit moments last night. Ray Donovan was really good. Roadies was excellent. it showed off the immense talent that is Ron White. and as always, Last Week Tonight was brilliant:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening, weather permitting.

they are saying we are going to have thunderstorms on and off all night. good times.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts' Show Podcast today. two excellent interviews with Eric Andre and Penn Jillette. to listen to the episode, go here: http://notsam.com/srshow/2016/8/14/srshow-eric-andr-penn-jillette

i think my mother fucked up her back somehow. i think she may have a bulging disc or something like that. of course, she's stubborn, so i have no clue how long she'll go before she gets it checked out.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
