Anybody else where I am at?

I'm there. I've hit that age where going to a place full of women that cut guys' hair while wearing tight referee outfits while you watch tv isn't for me any more. I'm ready to go back to a barbershop where a man cuts my hair and shaves with a straight razor is what I want in the way of grooming. 
Don't get me wrong, the hot towel and massage and all that other jazz is nice, but it's time to move on. 
What about you? Maybe I'm crazy, but again these are really just my random thoughts.

Seriously NFL?

This is the question I pose after reading that Cameron Heyward, son of NFL legend Craig "Iron Head" Heyward, has settled with the NFL on fines for having the words "Iron Head" in his eye black paying tribute to his late father. Fined for eye black honoring his father? Seriously NFL?
This is absolutely ridiculous and I can hear now "well if this is allowed others will write all kinds of stuff." If it's inappropriate, ok sure, but being fined for honoring one's father, who was a renowned player it's own league is simply asinine.
My other question is this to Roger Goodell, "doesn't the league have a lot bigger things to deal with outside of this? 
The NFL has become known as the "No Fun League" to many including me. They are more worried about business and less about football and even the players it seems. 
I don't know I could be wrong, but again these are really just my random thoughts.

Could Sam Presti be making his "3rd Strike" decision with Donovan?

With reports that Oklahoma City is in "serious talks" with Flordia's Billy Donovan to become the next head coach of the Thunder, one has to wonder, is Sam Presti making his 3rd big mistake as the team's GM? 
Mistake 1 was letting James Harden go to Houston. If OKC keeps him, I think last and this year's results are different. 
Mistake 2 was Kendrick Perkins' ridiculous contract that kept him on the team WAY past his productive prime. Presti got lucky in being able to trade him off to Utah this year in the big 3 team trade that brought Enes Kanter and others to OKC. 
Colleges coaches with no previous NBA experience don't have the best track record, so why would Presti hire a guy like that when there are better options out there? 
Time will tell if this makes Presti look like a genius or sends him looking for another job. But of course, these are really just my random thoughts.
