welcome to the weekend...

 i have done my best to try to do nothing today. not exactly possible, but a fucker can dream right. i did have a few funny lines pop in my head for a poem, but i haven't been able to fully flush it out yet. so, i am looking forward to that. i didn't sleep well at all. mom for some fucking reason was talking loud as fuck to herself at 5:46 AM. that woke me up. i was able to get back to sleep until i woke up at 7:10. i might have got a hour or two watching the hockey game this afternoon. needless to say, i know i will get my best sleep when i die.

Big Brother was good last night. Kimo got evicted. Chelsie is the new HOH, so she will be in the final 3.

The Old Man was excellent last night.

NJPW was another rerun last night. so, i did watch some of the baseball and NFL games last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Inside the NFL. i will watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play their final preseason game tonight at the Islanders.

the baseball playoffs start back up tomorrow.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning, most likely.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

it still feels like summer...

 it still feels like summer outside. i'm hoping that will change soon. if the weather experts are correct, it is supposed to go from the 80's to the 50's by the weekend. that will be lovely if that happens.

so, let me talk about Manchester United for a bit. they lost yesterday at home in the Champions League, 3-2. first time they have ever lost the first two games of the group stage. the offense finally came to life but the defense, given all the injuries, is awful. and sadly, i'm not sure they have found rock bottom yet.

NXT was very good last night.

Inside the NFL was pretty good last night.

Welcome to Wrexham was excellent last night.

Name That Tune was very good last night.

The Voice was good last night.

Big Brother was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, American Horror Story and The Masked Singer.

the New York Rangers play at the New Jersey Devils tonight. i might watch some of that.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to her physical therapy appointment.

grocery shopping went pretty good today. 

i need to get going and get dinner started.

best of luck to the muse tomorrow with her surgery. i know everything will go well.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

woke up this morning...

 to the news of Anne Rice's death. i can't say i was a huge fan of Anne Rice, but i do know she was an incredible writer. what i was a fan of was how she talked about New Orleans. she always spoke of the magic and darkness of the town and how it was perfect for a writer. hell, i still believe i will live and probably die in that town at some point in my life. goodbye to a legend. thank you for the incredible ride. enjoy whatever comes next.

Manchester United won yesterday over Norwich, 1-0. i do love a clean sheet. that being said, man i would love if someone other than CR7 could be clinical in front of the goal these days.

i did watch a little of the Army vs. Navy game yesterday.

the MLS Cup was amazing yesterday. Portland forced extra time right at the death of regulation. NYCFC won the Cup in a penalty shootout.

The Real Charlie Chaplin was an amazing documentary last night. i do recommend it.

Saturday Night Live was great last night. Billie Eilish has certainly grown on me over the years. she is truly one of the more unique young humans around.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Axios, the season finale of Succession, Insecure, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Power Book II: Ghost, Hightown, VICE, Dexter: New Blood, Yellowjackets and Desus & Mero.

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Nashville.

the Dayton Flyers play at home today against Virginia Tech. Dayton is a 2 point underdog today. i always do love a good home underdog. 

the New Orleans Saints play today at the New York Jets. part of the reason why i am going to the basketball game is so i don't say something to my mother about her Jets. of course, if the Saints lose this game, i will be apoplectic.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to her physical therapy appointment.

i hope everyone had a good Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

i guess i needed some sleep...

 i woke up after my usual 4 hours of sleep this morning and got going with my day. made some coffee, checked some emails, fed the birds, etc. after i had breakfast and listened to a podcast, i went out to my massage chair. i got an ice pack as my back has been killing me for days now. so, i woke up sometime around 2 this afternoon. so, there's another 4 hours of sleep. i guess i was tired...

so, i started yesterday in a pretty good mood. that lasted until the 4th quarter of the New Orleans Saints game. they pissed away an 11 point lead over the Giants and lost in overtime to a shitty team, 26-21. that one will be a loss that will haunt them the rest of the season.

the Yankees won yesterday over Tampa, 1-0. i'm not sure why they dared Aaron Judge to beat them in the bottom of the 9th, but thankfully those arrogant fucks did. Aaron got the hit and Tyler Wade scored from 3rd to send the Yankees to the playoffs. they will play tomorrow night in Boston. if they win that, they will start a series down in that fucking dump in Tampa.

the season finale of Billions yesterday was great. can't wait for season 6 to start in January.

American Rust was excellent last night.

BMF was good last night.

Heels was fucking great last night. the season finale is next week.

Scenes From a Marriage was amazing last night. the finale is next week.

Axios was pretty good last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Monday Night Raw.

i will probably watch a little of the NFL game tonight between the Chargers and Raiders. crazy to see that both head coaches went to Dayton for college.

i did listen to episode 363 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

https://www.stitcher.com/show/sam-roberts-wrestling-podcast/episode/history-of-the-wwe-king-of-the-ring-notsam-wrestling-363-87259486

i wrote 4 poems today. those are the first poems of October for me. i would love to get a few more written and get some submissions out in the next few days.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow, fingers crossed.

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the shot.

and now the fun begins...

i love this time of year. hockey is starting back, the baseball playoffs have begun, football is on every night of the week basically and i have an endless amount of things to keep my brain occupied.

tonight, the New York Yankees start their ALDS series against the Twins. hopefully, history will repeat itself and the Yankees will eliminate the Twins like they always do.

the grocery store wasn't bad today. of course, i didn't get there until the afternoon, so the sale items had been ransacked by the elderly already.

i did listen to the latest episode of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

NXT UK was pretty good last night.

Young Sheldon was good last night.

The Unicorn was pretty funny last night.

Perfect Harmony was hilarious last night.

Mr Inbetween was very good last night.

i did watch a good portion of the 4th quarter of the Seahawks and Rams game last night. i always love when the Rams lose.

the New York Rangers defeated Winnipeg last night, 6-4. the additions the Rangers made over the summer made themselves known immediately. i am going to love Trouba, that's for sure. i already was in love with Panarin. and Kakko certainly didn't look out of place at 18 years old out there. the Rangers play again in Ottawa on Saturday night. it was win number 450 for The King.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Murder in the Bayou and Room 104.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow. Ohio State doesn't play until tomorrow night and Manchester United plays on Sunday. and i should be on here long before the Yankees play Game 2.

rest in peace Diahann Carroll. one of the most beautiful souls to ever grace this earth.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. it finally cooled down here last night. we've had the windows open all day long to air out the house. it feels so much better.

until tomorrow kids...

the joy of being young

before i get into the crazy fucking Yankees game last night, a little poetry news...

i sent out 11 poems today, 6 to In Between Hangovers and 5 to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

when the Yankees were down 3-0 four batters into the game last night, it was like i was in a fucking nightmare. thankfully, the Yankees got those runs right back in the bottom half of the first and decided to just keep scoring. the bullpen pitched 8 2/3 innings last night and only gave up 1 run while striking out 13. the Yankees won the wild card game over the Twins 8-4. they will now face Cleveland on Thursday in the ALDS.

Smackdown was good last night. they did a decent job pumping up the 2 big matches at Hell in a Cell this Sunday, but you wouldn't know there are any other matches on the show.

205 Live was pretty good last night. Kalisto should work well on the show.

The Voice was good last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was great last night.

American Horror Story was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Mr. Mercedes, You're the Worst and Total Bellas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

there was just enough rain today to make me ache like a motherfucker. and of course, that rain came while i was grocery shopping. i'm not sure if the people in the store could tell i was in pain, but i was fucking miserable. and of course, the cashier wanted to have a damn conversation. lovely.

the NHL season starts tonight. the New York Rangers play tomorrow night, at the same time as the Yankees vs. Indians game. great.

that's all for me today kids. i need to get started on dinner.

the joy of being a poet

i was out and about for a good portion of today. i had to go to the post office, make a deposit at the bank and then head up to Menards. i found just about everything i wanted to get at Menards, and thankfully got it done in just over 60 minutes. on the way back home, i went past a cemetery as a funeral was going on. if you look down in the music section, you can guess which song was playing as i drove past it. these are the moments where being a poet is actually fun.

i wrote the poem once i got home. i might do a little more writing tonight and then type them all up.

i did watch a good portion of the New York Rangers preseason game against Philadelphia last night. there was the usual dirty shit from the Flyers that they always do. i was happy to see the Rangers come back to force the game into OT. i didn't enjoy them losing less than 30 seconds in OT. but, it's the preseason for a reason. Philadelphia won 4-3. the Rangers play the Islanders tonight i believe.

The Voice was really good last night. i think Blake and Alicia have the best teams.

Gotham was great last night.

Monday Night Raw was excellent for the first time in months. of course, they were in Los Angeles, so i figured they would do an A+ show for a change. loved that they had the ladies do the main event. Sasha Banks and Charlotte have such great chemistry with each other. plus, a title change never hurts to make a show feel special.

i got the Monday Night Football game right, but my picks were still under .500 for the weekend. i'm at the point now where i might just blow up my fantasy teams and say fuck it for the season.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, WWE Smackdown and Atlanta.

i did listen to the latest and probably last Sam and Cathy podcast today. it was great as usual. you can listen to it by going here: https://soundcloud.com/samrobertsshow/sam-cathy-027-see-you-never

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

here comes the sun

yesterday was pretty fucking miserable. the weather was wet and gloomy all damn day. i believe i was in pain from the moment i woke up until the moment i finally fell asleep. and nothing that happened during the day really lifted my spirits.

the New York Yankees pissed away chance after chance yesterday and lost both games of the doubleheader, 9-2 and 4-3. they have to win today or chances are they will be playing in Houston on Tuesday.

Ohio State started off slow once again and played the first half yesterday like they were either stuck in mud or pissed that they were on the road. thankfully, Ezekiel Elliott woke up in the second half and decided to carry the damn team on his own. 274 yards and 3 touchdowns lead Ohio State to a 34-27 victory. without that, Ohio State would have lost. maybe one day this team will realize the talent it has and play to that instead of down to their opponents.

the Saturday Night Live documentary last night was pretty good. 40 minutes or so of it didn't record as the local NBC station had technical difficulties. that probably explains why the WWE Network was fucking up last night as well. too much damn rain. Saturday Night Live itself was ok. i thought Miley Cyrus did a decent job. but, i was so damn tired i will probably have to watch it again.

ROH was excellent last night. 3 really good matches from a baseball stadium. can't beat that.

the WWE special from MSG last night had some really good moments and then some moments where i just know i could write that part so much better than what they are doing right now. i did enjoy Brock Lesnar destroying The Big Show, Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens and The New Day vs. The Dudley Boyz. but, leave it to John Cena to piss all over what would have been a great night of wrestling. and i know he always says that he just does what the powers that be tell him to do, but you would think if he actually loved the business of pro wrestling he would tell those powers that be that it would be best for him to put a younger guy over every now and then. but, apparently that asshole can't bring himself to do that just yet. i doubt it ever fucking happens. at least he's supposed to be taking a few months off soon. thank fucking god.

time for some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

Manchester United plays Arsenal in about 30 minutes. i really hope United takes all 3 points today.

the New Orleans Saints play tonight against the Dallas Cowboys. Drew Brees apparently is going to play. hopefully they end their home losing streak.

tonight on the DVR will be the season finale of The Strain, Last Week Tonight, Homeland and The Affair.

i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow as i will be probably still going over my fantasy hockey draft and wondering which players i'm going to lean on for the season. hard to imagine that's starting back up so soon again.

well, i need to go eat breakfast and read the paper before the game starts. i hope everyone had a great Saturday. may your Sunday be even better.

and your pro wrestling video of the day:

some days just bleed together

i was up way too late last night and up way too early this morning. needless to say, i feel like i have been in a damn fog for the last 18 hours or so.

first off, i did send out 12 poems today. 6 to ZYX and 3 each to Dead Snakes and The Camel Saloon. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

i did watch most of the New York Rangers 4-1 loss last night. too many fucking mistakes, too many defensive lapses, too many mind cramps, and way too soft at times. a thank you to Rick Nash for dropping the gloves last night when none of his pussy teammates would. mostly, a thank you for the 5 penalty minutes. much needed for my fantasy team. hopefully they get Captain Cally back by Monday and figure some shit out or the 9 game road trip to start the season could be really fucking ugly.

The Big Bang Theory was hilarious last night. really great writing. nothing else really struck me as funny on television last night.

i did watch a good portion of the NFL game last night. i picked the right team to win but i didn't care for how they won. i'm now 41 points behind in fantasy football. that's a big fucking hole to climb out of. especially when your QB is facing the best defense in the league. so much for my momentum from last week.

i actually had to turn on the A/C today. first week of October and it's in the mid 80's. fucking ridiculous.

not sure what i'm watching this evening. i might just turn on some baseball so i can fall asleep.

i'll be back on here after the Manchester United game tomorrow afternoon. if they lose again, expect a rant that might get me banned from the internet for life.

hope everyone has a great weekend. or at least a better one than the assholes you hate.
