i hate losing more than i love winning...

 i am a very competitive person. and now that sports gambling is legal, i can put my money where my mouth is. now, i don't have fuck you money to gamble with, but i also stay true to the golden rule... only gamble what you are willing to lose. i did get the national title game last night between Florida and Houston right. i won two different groups on ESPN.com with that bracket. i went 47-16 in the tournament. that is my best record in years. apparently, putting money on it makes me a little more intense on getting shit right. that might be the only thing i worry about with my sports gambling. i am a perfectionist at heart. 

the Yankees lost yesterday at Detroit, 6-2. i did watch some of the game, especially when they were playing in the snow. they play again this afternoon.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Tampa Bay, 5-1. 

The Voice was very good last night.

Monday Night Raw was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, St. Denis Medical and Dark Side of the Ring.

mom's doctor appointment yesterday went well. she chose to get physical therapy on her knees. that will start on Thursday. she thought she had an appointment today. we listened to the call again and it was for her to reschedule the appointment she had today. that will now be on next Monday. 

here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

i should be on here tomorrow before i go grocery shopping.

i'll flip this afternoon between baseball and the champions league, hoping for a nap.

until tomorrow kids...

why i love pro wrestling...

 night 2 of WrestleMania 40 was awesome. when the cash in happened in the first match, i told mom it was going to be a crazy night. i absolutely love they started the main event before 10 PM. and that main event had everything. as i explained to my mother, Cody and Seth had to lose on Saturday for Cody to have a chance to win on Sunday. to see the Undertaker come back to confront The Rock was a big shock to me. but most of all, i was so damn happy that Cody won and finished the story. now, it will be very interesting to see where WWE goes from here. i have to believe this was the biggest WrestleMania of all time. 

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

the Yankees won yesterday at home against Toronto, 8-3. they start a series tonight at home against the Marlins.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Montreal, 5-2. they tied their season record for wins last night.

the series finale of The Regime was crazy.

the series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm was hilarious.

A Gentleman in Moscow was very good last night.

Happy 4th of July...

 so, first off, i want to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.

i was hoping to get up earlier today, but apparently the shower i took at 2 in the morning actually did the trick. i didn't get up until 10 this morning. i know i got at least 6 solid hours of sleep. fuck, that might as well be a coma for me.

the New York Yankees won last night at home against Baltimore, 6-3. hopefully, they will win again this afternoon.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT and Deadliest Catch.

the only tradition i truly have on today is watching the hot dog eating contest. it is currently in a lightning delay.

i will probably watch plenty of the MLS today as well as the Gold Cup.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

i hope everyone has a great holiday. stay safe, have fun, and please, stop fucking shooting each other.

laundry day

 since Ohio State is off this week, i figured today would be a good day to get my laundry done. of course, there is plenty of other shit i would like to be doing, but laundry seems to be a necessary evil when you have to actually go out into the world. oh well. i'll start that after i get home from Rite Aid. i need to pick up a prescription.

the Yankees lost yesterday to Cleveland, 4-2 in 10 innings. the series is now 1-1 and goes to Cleveland for a game tonight. if the Yankees don't win tonight, i have a pretty good feeling they will lose this series.

here are your highlights from the MLB playoffs yesterday:

the New York Rangers lost last night in Winnipeg, 4-1. this was a game of running into a hot goalie and him outplaying your backup. plus, the Rangers were on their 3rd game in 4 nights and this was the Jets first game of the season. shit happens.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious last night.

Los Espookys was really funny last night. the season finale is next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of college football today on top of the MLB playoffs. the MLS playoffs start today as well.

i got my order from Repacked Wax today. so, that will take up whatever spare time i have today between sports and my laundry.

i am going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the morning.

if not then, who knows. 

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

happy 4th of July...

 i remember this holiday was a fun one for me when i was a kid. fireworks, cookouts, parties, sunshine, etc... but now as an adult, fireworks don't do anything for me. if i would be having a cookout, i would be the one cooking. i haven't been to a party in years. sunshine isn't that big of a deal to me ever since mom got skin cancer. and the true meaning of independence day is lost on so many sheep in this country. and besides that, not everyone is allowed to celebrate this day. which honestly, to see the amount of bigotry and ignorance still in this country in 2022 is beyond fucking depressing.

and speaking of that, i sat down to write yesterday. 2 hours of sitting and looking at a blank page. 2 hours of nothing. so, now i really know i am depressed. i was hoping a shower at 3 in the morning would help. i got out this morning and fed the birds and watered the tomato plants. and yeah, still fucking depressed. so yeah, not exactly the mood i wanted for the 4th of July. 

the Yankees had more errors than hits yesterday. they lost to Cleveland, 2-0. they are off today and start a series in Pittsburgh tomorrow night.

the season finale of The Man Who Fell to Earth was excellent last night.

both episodes of We Hunt Together were good last night. i might just binge the series later this week since there are only 6 episodes.

The Chi was excellent last night.

Flatbush Misdemeanors was pretty funny last night.

Westworld was very good last night.

the USWNT plays tonight against Haiti in group play of the CONCACAF women's championship.

i did watch most of the USMNT U-20 game last night against the Dominican Republic. the USA won 6-0 to win the tournament.

the only tradition i have for the 4th of July anymore is watching the hot dog eating contest. i have that on in the background right now.

Joey Chestnut won his 15th title, eating 63 hot dogs. just imagine that bowel movement.

i did listen to episode 402 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

the New York Rangers dominated Anaheim last night, winning 4-1. they outshot them 40-14 in the game. that was a joy to watch.

AEW Battle of the Belts was good last night.

Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i did catch a little of both NFL games yesterday.

the New Orleans Saints play at Atlanta today. if they win and the Rams beat the 49ers, the Saints are in the playoffs.

i need to go vacuum the house. we did get all the Christmas decorations down yesterday. i got most of it in these 3 plastic red and green containers. that makes it really easy to find the shit in the garage when i need to.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before i take mom to the doctor's office. her physical therapist told her she needs to get evaluated before she can get back into physical therapy. the bruises on mom's face don't look good. 

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

CR7 to the rescue again...

 so, i wasn't really sure what to expect from Manchester United today. they were playing in Spain at Villarreal in the Champions League. they needed a win today to secure a place in the last 16 for the Champions League. David de Gea made some great saves. and then late in the match, CR7 to the rescue. United got a second goal from Jadon Sancho. i'm so happy he finally did something positive. i hope that opens the floodgates for that kid. United won 2-0. Michael Carrick got his first win. they have a huge test this weekend against Chelsea.

The Voice was really good last night. i have no damn clue who gets eliminated tonight.

Monday Night Raw was a bit crazy last night. Seth Rollins got attacked by a fan. that at least spiced things up a bit.

today is the day...

 so, today is the last day of the baseball regular season. amazingly, there is still shit to be won before the playoffs start. now, the Yankees magic number is still at 1. Tampa killed them yesterday, 12-2. since Boston won yesterday, the Yankees now sit in second place in the wild card standings. there is still a chance that Boston, New York, Seattle and Toronto all finish with the same record. i highly doubt that will happen, though i do believe the Yankees will lose today and have to face Seattle or Toronto tomorrow to see who gets to go to Boston for the wild card game.

Ohio State whipped Rutgers yesterday, 52-13. they play Maryland next.

the New York Rangers won last night in Boston, 4-3 in OT. considering who the Rangers didn't have in their lineup, this was a very encouraging result.

i did catch a good amount of Notre Dame vs. Cincinnati yesterday. probably the biggest win for UC ever.

Saturday Night Live was pretty good last night.

ROH was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Axios, Scenes From a Marriage, Last Week Tonight, BMF, Heels, the season finale of Billions and American Rust.

the New Orleans Saints play at home today against the New York Giants. considering this will be the Saints first game at home in front of fans in years, i expect the fans to be absolutely crazy today.

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

i have no clue when i will be on here on Monday. 

until then...

total exhaustion...

 so, i went to bed a little before 6 this morning. i have to do that every once in a while to completely reset my brain. if i don't fucking exhaust it, it never shuts off. now, a regular human would sleep to noon or something. i was up at 9. but, 3 solid hours is about all i can do these days. good times.

yesterday was a pretty good day for me when it came to sports. first up will be the New Orleans Saints. i was hoping they would bounce back against the Patriots, but i knew it wasn't going to be easy. silly me. i was really shocked the Patriots allowed the Saints to run the ball all game long. hell, if i was Sean Payton, i'm not sure if i would have called a damn pass in the game at all. the Saints defense played great and they won the turnover battle. that is always a recipe to win. the Saints won, 28-13.

the Yankees pulled off some late inning magic once again and swept the Red Sox last night, 6-3. that puts them in first place for the American League wild card. if they win out, they will host the wild card game. now, they have the toughest schedule left with 3 games at Toronto and 3 games at home against Tampa. the Toronto series starts tomorrow night.

Big Brother was good last night. i will be shocked if Xavier doesn't win it all.

Billions was great last night. season finale is next week.

American Rust was really good last night.

the season finale of Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night.

BMF was really good last night. it looks like it should be a good show.

Scenes From a Marriage was good last night.

Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Monday Night Raw.

so, WWE Extreme Rules was pretty good last night. to be honest, the main event probably saved it from me hating it. the audio issues with Peacock last night were pissing me the fuck off. as well as the fucking commercials they put into the event. and i know this wasn't the WWE doing it, since none of the commercials were for their products. 

i did listen to episode 362 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

https://www.stitcher.com/show/sam-roberts-wrestling-podcast/episode/wwe-draft-done-right-notsam-wrestling-362-87092166

i might watch some of the NFL game tonight between the Cowboys and Eagles.

i had to do some work in the garage today. i got all the bird food and the containers into trash bags. now, i need to go to Menard's and get all new shit. 

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. judging from my underwear drawer, i might need to do some laundry here soon.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i believe my mother wants to go out for a walk, so that's all for me kids.

Manchester United got 2 goals from CR7, a golazo from Bruno and hell, even Jesse Lingard scored. 4-1 victory over Newcastle. i couldn't dream a better game for Cristiano to make his return. just fucking amazing. United plays on Tuesday in the Champions League.

Ohio State lost to Oregon yesterday, 35-28. the defense played like shit, the offense never stablished the run and quite frankly, Oregon outplayed them and outcoached them.

the Yankees actually won last night at the Mets, 8-7. they will go for the series win tonight.

ROH was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Scenes from a Marriage, Last week Tonight, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Heels, Billions and American Rust.

the New Orleans Saints will take on Green Bay today in Jacksonville, Florida. they have to play there because of the hurricane. i'd love to see them win today but i have no clue how they are going to do now that Drew Brees has retired.

my mother's team is the Jets. my sister is a Steelers fan. 

it is supposed to get hot and humid again this coming week. joy. mom has a doctor's appointment on Tuesday i believe. i have one on Friday. great.

i hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July.

the fuckers around here have shot off so many damn fireworks the last couple of nights, i have no clue how the fuck they would have any left for tonight.

the Yankees lost yesterday to the Mets, 8-3. they play a doubleheader today. if the Yankees lose both games they should be happy that George Steinbrenner is dead. if he was still the owner, there would be heads on stakes at Yankee Stadium after this shit. 

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

so, the NBA Finals are set. Milwaukee vs. Phoenix.

at the Euro 2020 yesterday, Denmark defeated Czech Republic, 2-1. England whipped Ukraine, 4-0. the semifinals are now set. Italy plays Spain on July 6th and England will play Denmark on July 7th.

at the Copa America yesterday, Colombia defeated Uruguay on penalty kicks, 0-0 (4-2) and Argentina defeated Ecuador, 3-0. the semifinals at the Copa America will be Brazil vs. Peru on July 5th and Colombia vs. Argentina on July 6th.

i did watch the Columbus Crew vs. New England Revolution game yesterday. it finished 2-2. i wanted to see what the new stadium looks like in Columbus. it does look amazing, at least on television.

ROH was really good last night.

i'm sure i will watch some fireworks tonight and hopefully won't be pissed off at two Yankees losses.

i will probably watch some NASCAR today, especially if i need a good nap.

i did go out and water the tomatoes this morning. it is supposed to get up to 90 today, so i don't think we're going to be opening the windows.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
