Apropos of nothing (but isn’t that social media in a nutshell): The Shining is one of the most overrated movies I have ever seen. Watched it together with the fam last night. Had not seen it before.

Friday was the non-tender deadline and most of the #Royals decisions were easy, but there were some questions. I wrote mostly about the choices that weren't so easy plus included some non-tenders made by other teams who could interest KC.
Love Me (Non-)Tender
Friday's deadline to tender contracts to all players on non-guaranteed contracts went almost as expected for the Royals.

Mike's first year with the CRG, I happened to be a paper boy running a CRG route. One of my favorite people I have ever met. It was a good ride.

My first football interview was with a hitchhiking receiver. Now my ride here ends.

This one hits hard. Mike is the best. The Iowa beat will never be the same.

I’m through 2 episodes in to Pluribus. Incredibly unique plot. The first ten minutes of E2 is some of the best story telling that tells you so much about the state of things without a word of dialogue I have seen. Very reminiscent of some Breaking Bad scenes (of course, same writer). Love it so far

Tuning in to watch Iowa Men's hoops and I realized that for the first time in my life, I not only could't tell u every scholarship player on the team, I couldn't tell you the starters on the team. So I asked myself, is this last season having drained my give a damn to low levels, or too much weed.

No auroras in KC tonight :( (in between 152 and Smithville) but it wasn't a waste of time. iPhone, 10 second exposure. (this is where I miss having a Samsung phone)

watched the Iowa MBB game again today...the spacing on offense was really exciting to see at times. The sets they were running are very effective with a really good PG (pick and roll game high, with a floor spread). That was the bread and butter last night. Defense was...refreshing.

Why doesn't the NFL at least have one of these early morning start, European games, on the day we turn the clocks back and many of us have been away since before 5am.
