The theme of this week’s random thoughts is “questions” (even though I know that having a theme makes it pretty non-random).

1. Yesterday, one of our high school guys was throwing – or tossing, I should say – the medicine ball with less than stellar velocity.  So, I went over and pinned a $20 bill to the floor with a dumbbell, and told him that if he broke a medicine ball, he could keep it.  He didn’t break one, but at the very least, it got him throwing the ball harder.

Seconds later, I hear a thud – only to look over and see that my fiancee had dropped a dumbbell directly on one of our stopwatches. Her question?  “Do I get $20 for breaking a stopwatch?”

Sorry, honey, breaking stopwatches doesn’t get you the $20 when you already have access to my credit cards and checkbook.

2. Do you watch The Biggest Loser? If so, you have to read this blog post by Robert do Remedios.

3. Can someone tell me why this kid doesn’t just put down the controller? Weird.

5. Was that video just woefully inappropriate?

6. Does anyone think there is actually hope for Matt Forte as a legitimate fantasy football running back this year? He really let me down in Week 1 (five points, and I lost by one), and I have a bad feeling that it’s going to be a looooonnnnggg year in this regard.  Some #4 overall pick…

7. For the record, I think it’s a disgrace if Zach Greinke doesn’t win the AL Cy Young award.  He’ll be punished because he plays for a team that is isn’t very good (four of his eight losses have been in games where the Royals were shut-out), but seriously, how can you ignore these numbers? He’s got 244 strikeouts and just 44 walks in 210 innings right now.  Filthy numbers.

8. Have you watched Mike Boyle’s Advanced Program Design DVD set?  I’m in the process of updating my resources page, and I came across it.  It made me realize what a great product it was, yet how it seems to get overlooked.  It’s definitely worth checking out, if you haven’t already.

Have a great weekend!
