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.
the New York Knicks won last night at Charlotte, 121-102.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
the New York Rangers won in Colorado last night, 2-1 in the shootout.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live.
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.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, i did write 3 poems yesterday while mom was doing her physical therapy. i typed them up last night and i think they are pretty good. after she got done, she had to have her frozen Coke. she likes to play this little trick anymore where she forgets to bring any money along at all. so, i had to get my credit card out. i really love when she does this when we're at the mechanic or doctor's office, etc. i remember one time the bill at the mechanic was over $800. she swore she had her credit card on her. of course, she found it on her desk when we got back home. good times.
i love what the New Orleans Saints did in the first round last night. they drafted Chris Olave from Ohio State. he fills a desperate need at WR. and then they drafted the nastiest offensive lineman in the draft in Trevor Penning out of Northern Iowa. that fills another desperate need. hopefully they fill some more holes in the second and third round tonight.
the Yankees won yesterday against the Orioles, 10-5. that is two sweeps in a row. they start a series tonight at the Royals.
Manchester United and Chelsea finished 1-1 yesterday. CR7 to the rescue yet again. he scored 2 minutes after Chelsea took the lead. i only got to see the highlights when i got home.
NXT UK was good yesterday.
Young Sheldon was good last night.
United States of Al was hilarious last night.
both episodes of How We Roll were pretty good last night.
Vice News Tonight had two great episodes this week.
NJPW was excellent last night.
Desus & Mero was fucking great last night.
Atlanta was amazing last night.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and A Black Lady Sketch Show. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
the New York Rangers play their final game of the regular season tonight at home against Washington. this could be a preview of their first round playoff matchup. they are either going to play Pittsburgh or Washington.
i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning.
sometime late tonight i'll put out my last SoundCloud recording for this month.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
