before i get to the absolute shit show the New Orleans Saints have become... i saw last night as i was trying to go to sleep that Quincy Jones had died. being the age i am, i definitely knew who Quincy Jones was. that man probably had one of the most amazing music careers of anyone that has ever existed. for anyone younger that isn't aware, that is one rabbit hole you should definitely lose yourself in.
the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at Carolina, 23-22. today, they (finally) fired the head coach. hopefully, they blow up everything and finally start the fuck over.
Manchester United and Chelsea played a 1-1 draw yesterday.
the New York Rangers won yesterday at home against the Islanders, 5-2.
The Penguin was great last night. the finale is next week.
Somebody Somewhere was very 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, Monday Night Raw and What We Do in the Shadows.
college basketball started back up today. the Dayton Flyers play tonight at home against St. Francis (PA). Dayton is favorited by 25.5 points, so i think they should win tonight. i'll probably watch some of the game on ESPN+.
i should be on here tomorrow after i take the Highlander to the mechanic. i'm guessing the check engine light is on for the reason it has came on the last several times. there is a hose that comes loose in the engine that should never come loose. they tried to fix it the last time so it wouldn't happen again. that was i think 5 or 6 months ago. hopefully, that is it and there will be no charge.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

sometimes life gets to that point where all the days just bleed together and you can end up in a bad movie that just bores you to death. these nights of 3 hours of sleep have me spinning my wheels. the rest of the day is just catching naps when i can and trying to play catch up with the news, sports, etc. joy.
i did watch plenty of football yesterday. i won a little money, but not nearly as much as i was hoping to.

first off, a computer update. last time, it was a thumb drive that cured the noise. this time, it was a shut down and reboot. at least i didn't have to hear the noise overnight.
i was up in time this morning to see Manchester United play Wolves. United won the game, 2-0. they desperately needed that win.
the New York Yankees won last night at home over Tampa, 6-5.
the New York Knicks lost last night at Miami, 96-92. Miami will play the winner of the Celtics and 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

so, when the news of Grant Wahl's death last night hit me, i was shocked. Grant was the best soccer writer in this country by a mile. he did an amazing job explaining the sport and growing the sport in this country. i still am trying to process his death covering the World Cup. part of me doesn't want to believe it is true. and part of me knows, having just celebrated his 48th birthday 8 days ago, it is the circle being completed. Grant was also an amazing writer about college basketball. i have been an avid reader of his for damn near 20 years. i think i cried for hours last night as i was trying to deal with my own grief. he was the writer i thought i wanted to be when i was a kid, thinking of writing for a team or a sport, long before the poetry bug latched on to me. rest in peace Grant. you were an amazing human. condolences to his wife and his family.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was good last night.
Young Rock was pretty funny last night.
both episodes of Random Acts of Flyness reminded me of why i absolutely love this show.

i'll be watching NXT Deadline on Peacock for most of the evening.
today at the World Cup, the amazing run for Morocco continued with their 1-0 upset of Portugal. France defeated England, 2-1, in a very tense game. i'm not sure how Harry Kane is going to live with himself after missing the penalty that would have made it 2-2. so, now the semifinals of the World Cup are set. Croatia plays Argentina on Tuesday. France plays Morocco on Wednesday. Morocco is the first African nation to ever make the semifinals.
Manchester United lost 1-0 today in Spain to Real Betis.
the Dayton Flyers won today at home against UNC Asheville, 79-56.
i did go to Rite Aid and Family Dollar earlier today. i had some pills to pick up at Rite Aid. shockingly, they actually had them ready before i even called them in to have them refilled. i had to pick up some Glade spray at Family Dollar. they are the only store around here that still sells it for just $1.
not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm guessing the morning as i know the New Orleans Saints are on their bye week. i did get the first round of Christmas cards sent out today. i'm hoping to get the rest of them done this weekend and out in the mail on Monday.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

i always love walking outside and it feels like you just stepped into a bowl of soup. the rain we were supposed to get today hasn't happened yet. joy.
so, i didn't watch much of the Yankees game yesterday. i really don't feel like watching them when they are playing like shit. they lost to a A's team that probably couldn't beat a wet paper bag on most nights, 4-1. they start a series tonight in Anaheim against the Angels. the lead in the division is down to 7 1/2 games.
i did watch some of the MLS games yesterday:
Big Brother was good last night.
VICE was excellent last night.
The Chi was really good last night. the season finale is next week.
City on a Hill was great last night.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was good last night.

i did listen to episode 410 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
so, as i watching the Yankees game yesterday, they brought up the stat that the Astros no-hit them in a combined no-hitter 19 years ago. and sure enough, they did it again yesterday. the Yankees struck out 15 fucking times yesterday and lost 3-0. they need to win today to split the series. it is painfully obvious that the Astros are still in their fucking heads.
i did watch plenty of the MLS yesterday.
the USWNT defeated Colombia last night, 3-0.
i did get my pills (finally) at Rite Aid yesterday.

Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight. i'm not going to be shocked if there is going to be a Game 7.
it is supposed to rain today at some point. i get the feeling i'll have to water the tomato plants anyway.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
mom cancelled her doctor's appointment for tomorrow. so, i have no damn clue what time i will be on here on Monday.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
mom is back home from her surgery. she had the skin cancer from her face removed. the cancer was right above her lip, so of course, it was a little gruesome, at least from the picture my sister sent me. but, they got most of it on the first try. mom said he missed a little spot and got that the second time. they took some skin from her collarbone to graph to reform the lip. the stitches on the lip will dissolve. i have to take her Feb. 1st to the office to get the stitches removed on her collarbone. fun times.
today would be my grandmother's 110th birthday. part of me laughs at what she would think about this fucked up world now.
the New York Rangers defeated Toronto last night, 6-3. my family knows how i get, so when the Rangers got down 2-0 last night, i turned the game off. so, i did follow the game on my phone, but i know there was enough stress in the house already. i love that Ryan Reaves had his first two goals as a Ranger last night.
I Can See Your Voice was hilarious last night.
Batwoman was excellent last night.
AEW was great last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon, United States of Al and B Positive. i watched NXT UK this afternoon on Peacock. it was really good.

i need to go pick up some pills at Rite Aid, so that's all for me kids.

on to better news, the Dayton Flyers defeated Belmont yesterday, 63-61, to win that tournament down in Orlando. it's the first one they have won in a decade i believe. i really hope this is the galvanizing point of the season where they take off from here and be great. one thing that is really obvious, they are a much better team when Malachi Smith is on the floor. the offense flows so much better when he's running the show. he won the MVP of the tournament.
i did watch some of the NFL games yesterday. i watched some of both MLS games yesterday as well. and i got all of my laundry done.
Succession was great last night.
Insecure was very good last night.

i am going to try to be on here tomorrow in the morning. mom has physical therapy in the afternoon and i have no clue how long that is going to go. so, i think the morning is my best bet.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. i hope you got some great deals if you went shopping. and i hope the latest strain of COVID isn't fucking up your plans.

i know it is definitely raining now. when the pain radiates from my head to my toes, the fun is just beginning.
i did find two boxes of football cards today at the Rite Aid near Kroger. they cost $10 and there was about $25 worth of cards in them. i really enjoyed the hall of famers i found. i got another binder when i was at Meijer today. i needed to put all my Fleer football cards in one binder. that would give the other binders a little relief. the boxes had two packs of 1991 Fleer football cards in them. spooky.
if anyone is interested in any baseball, football, hockey, basketball, WWE, movie cards, or Monkees cards from the 60's, just let me know. i have baseball cards from 1959-2021. most of my football cards are from the 80's and early 90's, with a decent amount from the last 3 years; hockey cards are from 1980 - 2021. basketball cards are mostly from the early 80's and the last few years. the WWE cards are from 2013- 2020. if you are looking for a certain card to complete a set or looking to get a gift for someone that is just getting into collecting, i am looking to sell. drop me a line and let me know what i can send you at a better price than just about anyone out there.
i'm hoping i will be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.
i'm definitely hoping it will be before Manchester United plays Roma tomorrow in the Europa League.
