Which is to say I was recording all afternoon, then teaching makeups (for yesterday) currently so… a bit Carpentery tonight. So; what’s the news?
FIRED: Trent Baalke is FINALLY out in Duuuuval. Why now and not two weeks ago? Good question. Why not two years ago? Better question! (Plausible reason: Bucs Liam Coen withdrew from the Jags’ coaching search this afternoon.)
HIRED: Aaron Glenn comes home to the Jets to be the new head coach. Glenn, a Jets 1st-round pick, played with the team from 1994-2001.
ALSO HIRED: THAT’S RIKKI’S RAIDERS! hire Bucs assistant John Spytek as their new GM.
REHIRED: Notre Dame DC Al Golden to the Bengals to be their DC. Golden was the linebackers coach in 2020-21.
INSPIRED: Two events into the 8-event special JMR Marble League All-Stars and your leaders are exactly who you expected them to be… the Limers. (I actually said they will either score like 10 points the whole competition or win the whole thing; there will be no in between.)
NO LONGER WIRED: Norway’s top two leagues have voted to abandon VAR, the first country to do so. The Norwegian footy association will potentially finalize this in March.
SO VERY TIRED: This bit at this point but also the Miami Heat of Jimmy Butler as they’ve suspended him another two games for I believe missing a team flight.
Okay, what’s on tonight?
Only one national hockey: (FLA vs. LAK, 10:00, TNT) because…
International footy moment: US vs. Costa Rica (7:00, TNT)
Some basketball:
-A different team’s fans busting on Julius Randle vs. The Dallas Flat-Earthers Club (MIN vs. DAL, 7:30, ESPN)
-Northern CA rage! Draymond’s Kickline vs. BEAAAAAAAM. (GS vs. SAC, 10:00, ESPN)
JV footy:
-The University for Gifted Youngsters vs. “Holy shit, they’re RANKED?” (Xavier vs. St. John’s, 7:00, FS1)
-Rock and/or Chalk vs. Bloodeyez (Kansas vs. TCU, 7:00, ESPN2)
-Not Temu basketball vs. Singing “Union Dixie” to piss people off (Texas A&M vs. Ole Miss, 9:00, ESPN2)
And others!
Ciao tutti
Worst part is, he’s not even a violin teacher.
He’d be more at home strummin on the ole banjo.
Had my first drink in 2+ weeks tonight. Not trying to quit, just cut back a little.
I haven’t had a drink this year, haven’t intentionally not been drinking, just haven’t thought of it
Did I wander into the wrong clubhouse?
Hey now, if Lowratio took a slash at you, I’m sure he had a good reason. And two wrongs don’t make a right.
BFC currently:
A & E used to be arts and entertainment. Right now there is a Miami Law enforcement show, and next is Ozark Law. I guess it is like TLC where you can now catch my 900 lb life, and I am a dumbass who flew overseas to fall in love and get some rando a visa. The Learning Channel? Learning that you are a dumbass?
Learning not to overestimate humanity
I like when the dummies move from America and don’t understand that other places have different customs and ways of life than MERICA, and are angry or confused about it
A&E has been cops with moustaches since like 1999.

I was doing some light reading about volcanoes today. Check out Yasur in Vanuatu, which has been erupting for over 200 years and quite possibly much longer!
Isn’t it a beauty?

Someone’s bored with their current lair.
Not enough hammocks
I know which part of town you can pick some up.
Well, there’s Hammock Hut on 3rd.
I told you to get something practical like a mountain cabin or a beachfront condo, but no, you wanted style and flair!
Can’t spell flair without lair
What’s the going rate for a volcanic Island?
Asking for a friend.
Also, is the geothermal upgrade worth it?
I haven’t been this fascinated by the prospect of smoke coming out of a hole since I visited the Museum of Medical Science!
by gawd Coldfusion web site, thats a name I havent heard in a long awhile
I thought that we wuz done?
Michigan has exercised their rematch clause with THEEEE Ohio State for a shot at the natty.
Get in line behind Tulsa!

Al Golden was the likely choice for the Bengals. Hopefully he’ll be a better playcaller/planner than Anarumo. The players didn’t help, but ultimately he got figured out.
“THAT’S RIKKI’S RAIDERS! hire Bucs assistant John Spytek as their new GM.”
How surprising!! I thought with a name like that, Kraft & the Patriots would move heaven and Earth to acquire his services.
Brady is owner now.
It’s #BIGCHEATIN Time!
No, you’re thinking of Roberta Rubantug.
We really missed out on previewing some awesome Champions League action today.
I solemnly swear to prepare posts for next week’s last round before the knockout round.
I will komment if you preview all games! Hell, I will put together a Europa lge post for next Thursday.
DO IT
I’ve finally decided to listen to the lessons of GAMBLOR and stopped chasing parlays. While it is exciting seeing all the games in progress and dreaming about the 10-20 to 1 return, hitting on all but the last one or two bets was causing me to laugh but not in the happy way.

Does those websites send you like a 1099 at the end of the year so you can claim your gambling winnings on your taxes?
How much did you win last year?
Only if you win over a certain amount and what you wagered, like slot machines and casino table games.
And as for my winnings from last year, please refer to the aforecopied YouTube video.
What if the Heat and the NBA decide to just straight up Kaeper7ick Jimmy Butler? Enough with this fucking sitting out player bullshit. We got stars. We can market stars. You know what — go fucking play in Russia if you don’t like our league. And the rest of you all take notice.
Nah, he’s going to be traded to the Lakers or Clippers.
I heard he was rumoUred to be going to Blax’s Suns.
All of that is just meaningless speculation; they haven’t spun the wheel yet.
Kaep was easy to sideline by team/league because he was put in an anti-American box. The two situations aren’t remotely the same. Butler is just another dude that wants to move on from his current team.
Hmmm — just feels like there will be some breaking point on this player holdout stuff. Good point re: patriotism. Even in the NFL, Deshaun Watson wasn’t alienated — he was thrust into the national spotlight when his own ownership went David Pecker on him to the press.
