137th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....

I miss taking first day of school pictures of Casey and Peyton.

I have a growing sense of concern for the Bengals.

34 games back. One half game out of the playoffs. Some want to skip to Bengals season, and/or think they are done. Go figure.

We always hurried up to eat school lunch so we could play the paper football game.

Every order the live pet sea horses advertised in the back of comic books? I could never convince my mom!

Thursday night is a rather large game for Scott Satterfield...at least from a fan engagement/belief/attendance standpoint the rest of the season.

I used to sit on the floor of the grocery store and dig through all the boxes of Hostess snacks to find the best combo of three baseball cards on the box.

There is no such thing as a team backing into the postseason. All teams play the same number of games. If you do more than the other team, you get it.

I'd think this is Tyler Stephenson's final season with the Reds. He's making $4.9M this year and headed for an arbitration raise this offseason.

A lot of people in our neighborhood have seemingly just given up on taking care of their yard/landscaping.

CFB teams should play two preseason games, or at least hold joint practices with other schools. Aside from the help in preparing, think of the money making opportunity.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night! S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night! .....Suuuu, Suuuuuuu, Suuuuuuuu Saturday night! Remember?

You cannot dive into 1st base faster than you can run through 1st base. You just can't. Stop doing it.

Rhett Lower has pitched 7.1 innings since September 28 of last year, all in minor league rehab appearances. And Hunter Greene gets hammered by fans.

It's Year 6 of Joe Burrow and the quality of the OL is still in question. Unconscionable.

Is it OK to text someone if you know they are asleep, just so you don't forget later?

I could not stand shopping for school clothes as a kid.

We had family dinner at UFD Sunday: Peach ice cream milkshakes. We sat on their patio and just talked. It was really cool.

I admire that Elly doesn't like to sit. But I'm not sure why Tito lets him decide that. Everyone else gets days off. He's played just about every inning this year. He looks tired.

Song I cranked the car radio to this week: Backup Plan - Bailey Zimmerman & Luke Combs

Do you remember Bob & Doug McKenzie? Take off, ya hoser?

I swear that I see someone driving 80+ mph and zigzagging across lanes every day on 71 N and 71 S when I go to/from work.

The famous background to Larry King's CNN set sold for $2,240 this week. That sounds like an Off The Beaten Path Topic.

I love baseball stats. I just don't buy WAR. How do you really quantify how many wins a player is worth, down to the decimal point?

Don't worry about things you don't care about
