94th edition of My Random Thoughts: Sports, TV, music, food, life.....
Teams around here haven't won enough for fans to be snobs about victory and put conditions on winning....ie....the quality of opponents beaten.
I wonder how close Rhett Lowder is to Triple-A? I wouldn't mind seeing him attached to the hip of Tucker Barnhart for a couple of weeks/starts. Think Crash Davis in Bull Durham.
Thanks for the heads up on Dopesick (Hulu). Powerful performances by Michael Keaton and others that I really became invested in. Eight episodes explore America's struggle with OxyContin, from Purdue Pharma, to a Virginia mining community, to the DEA. Very compelling, scary and frustrating.
Ever ride your Big Wheel hard enough that you wore a hole in the black plastic tires, rocks got inside, and it made a cool sound?
I never watched Murder, She Wrote. But I always remember Pat Summerall promoting 60 minutes and Murder, She Wrote would follow the CBS 4pm NFL game every Sunday.
Food tip: Before you leave this earth, get the Brisket Grilled Cheese at Smoke Justis in Covington. Smoked brisket, white cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, toasted bread, w/ au jus.
While watching U.S. women's olympic soccer, I was trying to explain Trinity Rodman's father, Dennis, to Peyton. Wow, where to begin?
We had headed back to the VOA Country Music Fest Sunday. If you'd told me five years ago I'd be a country music fan and attending a festival.........
I feel a great sense of satisfaction for my support of Hunter Greene over the last two seasons. Dude is a stud.
A new order of Uni-Ball Vision Elite pens arrived at my door this morning. It's a good day.
I'm still bullish on Noelvi Marte.
Classic laugh out loud movie scene: Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor walking into prison in Stir Crazy......"we bad, that's right"
Stop using the term 'hold in' for players like Ja'Marr Chase, as opposed to a 'hold out'. It's a made up word. We have enough made up words.
OK....I'm experimenting with doing Reds Wrap postgame Tik Tok videos. I have no idea what I'm doing. Look out.
Why do the fans that clamor for a 'fiery' manager, like Lou!, say David Bell is out of control/childish when he gets ejected for defending his players? Weird.
Eric Davis will always be the coolest Cincinnati athlete I've ever been around. He oozes it.
Good for the Browns for deciding on a dome for their potential new stadium. Who wants to sit in winter conditions for a football game? Plus, they can host a ton of events with a dome.
I would have bet on Matt McLain and Spencer Steer as the two Reds prospects that would be most steady, dependable.
We are headed to Cincinnati Open tennis on Saturday. It's our favorite date night of the year!
I like channel surfing into an episode of The Love Boat and yelling, "hey, that's _______!" I saw Kent McCord (Officer Jim Reed) of Adam-12 the other night.
Congrats Eric and Amy Redfield of Camporosso in Ft. Mitchell. Pizza Today named them 2024 Pizzeria of the Year. Great people. Great pizza.
The Reds owe Jeimer Candelario $32M going forward.
New place found: BANDITO Food Park + Cantina on Columbia Parkway. Really cool space. Among the best Birria tacos I've ever had.
Don't worry about things you can't care about
