I was gonna go off on a rant about how fucking stupid the NCAA is but — fuck it -- everyone already knows ... oh well, whatever, never mind.

My older son (he’s 27 now) lost his best pal to leukemia when they were both 11. We were very close to the family, the hospital even broke their own rules to let my son spend the night in the ICU with his friend.

Katie, you know more about football than I know about fashion.

I’m calling it right now: This will be a better film than the Queen/Freddie Mercury biopic. (Oh, I like Queen — Queen was one of my first concerts even — I’m just skeptical of the movie based on the trailer.)

That all makes sense. The funny thing is, if you’re right, then this guy thinks running a company that mass produces and sells factory pizza means that he “matters.”

As a person with not that much money, I have a hard time understanding the motivations of someone with a lot of money. I just searched for Papa John’s net worth: Forbes says 801 million. Let’s assume they’re off by a lot, let’s say he’s only(?) worth 500 million.

Tangential comment/question: I was sitting around with my brother-in-law yesterday watching the Dodgers. He’s a die-hard, watch-every-game fan. He hates the Giants (and the Angels) but can’t even muster sports hate for the Padres.

I like Kathy Griffin much more when she’s being serious than when she’s being funny. For whatever reason, I don’t dig her comedy or her work in general.

They’re moving anyway and their head coach has a ten year contract.

For some reason, I read “Big Little Lies” as “Eyes Wide Shut” and thought “that makes sense.”

Condoms and a couple a tall boys ...

This guy acts as if his grandfather was once a college football coach who took a young assistant under his wing and that assistant became one of the most successful coaches in college football who also felt like he owed his mentor a debt and paid it back by giving his abusive, drug abusing grandson a coaching job at a…

I’m really starting to feel like the world is ending. 

That’s far and away the dumbest thing I’ve heard today. Walking backwards is risky business. If he didn’t want the staff to see him when they delivered a cocktail, why didn’t he just have them come in with their eyes wide shut?

He literally wrote that he wants to expand the tourney to 128, not 256.

This deserves at least a little respect:

One argument against that is you eliminate the concept of a “Final Four Weekend.”

You are absolutely right. The only response is that it’ll be tough to make the case for a 4-25 team crying because they’re not gonna get the chance to play Duke in the first round.

Why not just extend the tournament one extra weekend (that’s more money for you, NCAA tournament holders) and put 256 teams in?

I’m having trouble trying to process this.
