Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I bet Joe Rogan gets at least a good five minutes of material for his next stand-up special from the ridiculous "controversy" of him "endorsing" Bernie Sanders. Can't wait I'm sure it will be great stuff... Put me in the camp that thinks the coronavirus flu should be know as Xi's Disease going forward. Not the Kung Flu... Something tells me there's no way the movie Silver Streak could get made today. As great as Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were together this scene just does not get made today... It is truly amazing that Bill Belichick has now been the coach of the New England Patriots for 20-years. What he's accomplished in that time is otherworldly... "We suffer from knowing the numbers." A quote from Sam Zell heard in his recent Tim Ferriss podcast. The quote in context really resonated with me... I'm on the waiting list for one of these bad boys...  Haven't watched a single minute of the Impeachment hearings and I'm a better person for it...

Richard Pryor Doing the Alphabet

Just because.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

In the 10th game of the season - Red Sox fans learn Tim Bogar is the name of 3rd base coach as he sends Kevin Youkilis home with no outs after the less than fleet afoot Youkilis had run from first on a double by David Ortiz. To top it off - this morning he says he'd do it again... 7 Things Mario Games Have in Common With the Bible... Is it me or did ESPN really throw their original programming series Tilt down the memory hole? Do you remember the poker drama starring Michael Madsen?... Holy crap! Richard Pryor doing the alphabet. You can't tell me he's not high on something when doing this... Wonder how things would have worked if the Dolphins took Brady Quinn with the 9th pick in the 2007 NFL draft and Ted Ginn fell to the Browns at 22?... Dustin Pedroia (4) and Jason Varitek (3) lead the Red Sox in HR. That's what happens with no Manny, no Bay and a Zombie Ortiz. Incredibly Varitek now has a slugging percentage of 1.714 and an OPS+ of 438. Just as incredible the performer formerly known as Big Papi has 15 strikeouts in 29 AB... Top 50 Breweries in America. I would have had Gordon Biersch higher on the list and am disappointed that Wachusett Brewing did not make the list at all...
