Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

What a crazy night in sports!... Pretty sure I'd only eat the donut on the right... Jon Jones is out of UFC 200 because of a failed PED test. Wow - I had planned to go out to watch UFC 200 and bet heavily on Jones even though he was a 3-1 favorite. Now not so sure - may go out to watch a band instead... Wait - there's a Fight Club 2?... So Dwayne Wade is signing with the Bulls? Wow! Chicago's lineup is now Rajon Rondo, Wade and Jimmy Butler plus flotsam and jetsam. Good luck with that Bulls fans... Starting to think the Red Sox were wrong not to trade Blake Swihart for Cole Hamels... Can pot help protect against Alzheimer's? Better safe than sorry!... If the scientists behind the Juno probe had worn shirts with scantily clad women - would the unreal scientific achievement have gotten more press attention?...

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

When I hear Edward Norton narrating those DraftKings commercials - I always expect him to say, "I'm Jack's gambling habit"... Good to see some reporters learning from how the NFL blatantly used the press in Deflategate. Some others like Chris Mortensen and Peter King seem resigned to remaining NFL lapdogs... When are we going to see the "Hi I'm Peyton Manning and I'm Noodle Arm Peyton Manning and I have cable" DirecTV commercial?... Touching story from Joe Posnanski... If DraftKings spliced in quick-flash images of Tyler Durdin in their Edward Norton narrated commercials - then I would think about playing... The NFL's Pink October is just a scam.... Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper is a very under-rated rock song...
