I'm so glad hockey is back

Bit of an offensive start to the season! Eight goals for the Vegas Golden Knights in a 8-4 win against Colorado. Rangers, Jets, and Flames all scored 6 goals and got season opening victories. Montreal did not match the scoring, putting up one goal against Toronto, but enough to get the win. All of those teams now only need to win 81 more in a row to have an undefeated regular season!!

Sheesh! The firings start earlier every year it feels like. One head coach down already in 24. I realize New Yorkers have a reputation of being impatient but wow.

Saw on the news today that the Tropicana Casino was blown up overnight to make room for the start of the A's stadium. I stayed at the Tropicana once and visited there a few times, one of the historic casinos. For those who do not know, it is located...or was located...right on Tropicana Ave and Las Vegas Blvd on the south end of the strip. The same day the Tropicana Casino came down, the roof of Tropicana Park in Tampa was ripped off during the hurricane. The roof as basically gone and will be expensive to repair. Bad day for Tropicana!

The Patriots head coach announced this morning that Maye will be starting on Sunday against the Texans.

Two other games on Tuesday...Florida starts their run for a repeat with a victory over the Bruins, and the Utah Hockey Club gets a win in their franchise debut, defeating the Blackhawks 5-2 at the Delta Center.

Nice. Plus it worked out for you, the Blues beat the Kraken 3-2 and remain undefeated.

Vikings win again to improve to 5-0. Lions were off this week; they play in Dallas on Sunday. 49ers off to a slow start at 2-3 after taking another L this afternoon. Jacksonville got in the win collum by overcoming the Colts. Ravens win and appear to have turned it around. Patriots had that big week one victory and have lost every game since. Right now, it is the 3rd quarter of SNF, and the Steelers lead the Cowboys 10-6. Saints and Chiefs play Monday night in the Show Me State. (I learned what the Show Me State was in high school economics, one of the few things I remember from that class.)

The Who - Teenage Wasteland

Quiet Riot - Party All Night

The Devils beat the Sabers 4-1 in the regular season opener.

KIHAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The rest you will have to visualize on your own.

There are some benefits to solo training as you can go at your own pace and pick how you want to do things. I like to put on street clothing and try my kicks and blocks and what not, just to see how they would feel in a jacket, or blue jeans, or something that I might be wearing if I were to be attacked. Unlikely I will be in my Gi if attacked in a parking garage.

I found Strangers Chapter 1 to be a complete waste. Just a bad copy of the original.

Does anyone else think there should be a GEICO commercial of a martial arts master in a supermarket screaming KIHAP anytime he scans a coupon to save 25 cents on a protein bar?

The TKD comment makes sense, I can see that being tough on the knees as one got older. I just found that anything grappling was tough on the knees.

A trade for Adams would make KC a heavy SB favorite, but I don't see any chance the Raiders would be foolish enough to trade Adams inside the division, especially to KC. Though I guess if anyone is crazy enough to do it the Raiders would probably be that team. Looks like the Saints and Jets are frontrunners. You might be in luck though, rumors about a possible trade between KC and Miami involving Tyreek Hill.

Pete Rose has died. Rose was not only a famous baseball player but also one of the most controversial athletes in American history. Baseball fans have spent decades arguing if Rose should or should not put in the Hall of Fame. He will get likely in now that he has passed. His 4,256 hits are still the most all time. Pete Rose was 83.

Jared Goff had the NFL version of a no hitter on Monday night. He was 18 for 18 with two TD passes, and also caught a TD pass on a trick play. The Lions scored three touchdowns in the passing game, 42 total points, without a single incomplete pass the entire game. I have never seen that before. Even with that he did not receive the game ball. Makes no sense.

P!nk - Just Like a Pill

I agree with this but would add that it can happen even when young. I dropped to a knee at age 25 when I asked my first wife to marry me. That still hurts to this day.

Yes

I always liked a long loud one ha.

Is it tough on the knees?
