CRAZY HORSE

Top of the morning, to ya"ll...it is GAME DAY! ...my pardner from way yonder ago, Snooki, will be attending opening day at Autzen ...to see them Duckies take on the hooligans from UC Davis...jealous, I am...it is on the Pac 12 Network down here...yup, I will watch it... GO DUCKS! ... No problem with the timing...as all my golf buddies canceled today for various reasons...thus, I will skip the trip into El Cajon...be hack free...and do some giddy ups around the condo...besides, whenever I have a decent round, my follow up is usually a disaster...ha ha... We are hosting a din din thinger tonight for our Sammi 2nd family ...and I must tell you, the Weber Grill we got is... stupendous! ...is that a word?...spell check let it go...must be...it is an Italian nite and we are ready to go...should be loads of fun...they always are... I am...dark ...well, you know that...but my hairs are back to kind of normal...whenever I look in the mirror...which is way too often...I am shock...

Morning, kids ...how goes the battle?...it is college football time ...finally...as we gear up for some fun months to come...my highlight will be my trip up north for the Stanford / Duck game in November...at least for pigskin fun...had some barn burners yesterday...ie, the almost... App St near win over highly heralded Tennessee ...much like they did 10 years ago to Michigan...hint, don't schedule 'em for a patsy... For you PNWers... your Beavs had a solid outing in Minnesota...yet, lost in a close battle ...I did watch this...OSU is pointed in the right direction...finally...of course, you had to get rid of Riley to do so...I know, you liked him...but, at what cost?...too many games in the L column...and...tomorrow the Ducks host the UC Davis hooligans ...ha ha...naw, that's not their name...just made that up...anyway, I will check it out to see if it is carried down here on the pixels...and yes, did get out all my Duck gear from the storage...you see, that's...

Yahoo....er YAHOO! ...which is the app we use for our Fantasy Football league structuring and draft mechanism...gives a grade out to each drafted team at the conclusion of it...not sure how the thinger works, but it is immediate...and, of course, with my innate inability to pick the best dudes in the NFL...I got a C+ ...just ripped me for my choices on running backs...ie, a severe paper slashing of my top pick, QB Aaron Rodgers ...ha ha...clearly, he was my top pick...if he was gone, I was gonna take the other much heralded QB Cam Newton...on the other hand, son Cris, used the auto-pick and was graded higher than me ...hmmm...that should tell me something, right?... Staying in football... the collegiates get the season, for most, off this weekend...I for one, get real tired of these bloody pundits telling me who is gonna be good prior to any games being played ...let's let the team play dictate where we are going to go with this...some of the more interesting are: Oklahoma...

It's the final weekend of the race meet out at Del Mar ...so, the good Horse will get out there...one of them days... Labor Day has a giveaway that I may go for. ..I dunno, yet...all in all, I am up for the session...certainly not like last year...when I hit the nice Pick 5... I am saving the afternoon for the prep on the FF draft ...man, the time one has to pick goes quickly...I'd like to say that I have a clue...really don't...just usually pass on all the Bolts, is my one idea that seems to work... The Donald is meeting with the Mexican Prez today...they say it is a surprise one...what?...how can it be a surprise if everyone knows about it?...ha ha...and, where on earth has the Hilz been?...must be out raising $ at private functions is the best guess... You know who the rapper Chris Brown is?...right...other than he has had his moments with the law...well, he is back at it again...allegedly brandishing a gun in a dispute in LaLa land... If you went by the ...

Say it isn't so, mother nature ...spare the Hawaiian Islands from your fury...there is a hurricane on path to hit the Big Island ...well, there is a chance...maybe by tomorrow....if the pattern is consistent, it will miss...it's been since 1992 that a 'cane has hit that state...stay tuned...we are going in two weeks...hopefully, all this nonsense will be gone by then... Think there isn't a passion of American Pride unleashed by those who are upset with the 49er QB Kaeparnick's failure to stand for the National Anthem ...I get that there are some who think that he is in the right...even the almighty C Kareem Jabbar sides with the guy... give me a break...if anyone should be upset with the flag, it should be us real natives...who lost our land many years ago to the white eyes ....OK, I have gone too far...thing is...time has marched on...we are living in a land that has big time diversity...and that dude...who makes millions of $, calls for oppression of h...

Hey ya"ll ...start of a new week...have 2 rounds of golf scheduled...yes, thanks... I have recovered from the VMA's ...did you see any of it?...oh my, where was that going?...music?...not hardly...perhaps, as embarrassing a time for whatever that was, as there ever has been... Gone ...is any semblance to melodies and lyrics ...does anyone sing live in that genre?...all lip-syncing...there must be an audience for it...you know now, why the Horse likes country music...this, my good friends, was a debacle...of epic proportions... Which brings me to this... who watches and buys this stuff? ...there is no way I could gander at two hours of this garbage...am I wrong, or am I right?... The football bloke who professes that he will continue to sit through the national anthem...hmmm...some are saying that he may be sitting the entire season...as he is on the outs as a QB for the SF 49ers...whether or not he makes a statement on his feelings toward his country...his fall in th...

I think we need some good news out of Chi-town for a bit...for sure, it is the incredibly solid and talented Cubbies! ... they have the hitting, pitching, and closing aspects of the game down ...with a quirk of a manager...to keep them off center...and fresh...not tight...and oh my, how about the band wagon appeal of the team! (right Shink? )...a few years back, my son and I were at spring training in Phoenix...we saw a number of teams...play... no more passionate were da Cubbie fans...at that time, very frustrated, yet loyal ones...it's their time...to rejoice and finally get their due... The Tennessee Titans were at Oakland last night...and our Duck QB Mariota got to play the entire 1st half... splendidly ...this is a new team, kids...with 2 RB's...one being the former Cowboy, DeMarco Murray, and the other the Heisman Winner out of 'Bama, Derrick Henry ...with a beefed up line...they were at times in mid-season form in their whupping of the Raiders...the D?...stil...
