Monday Moaning



       Now that's the way to celebrate a birthday!

Yes folks, today is the Beeze's birthday...And I can't imagine 4 people I'd rather have handling my cake then those 4!

As for sports...There is tons of stuff going on, and while I've paid attention to much of it, I'm sitting here thinking that writing this blog is the last thing I want to do...No, I won't write about the finale of Breaking Bad...I've never seen a single episode, and the constant tweets and facebook posts about it over the last 2 years make me hate it without ever viewing it...

Yes, the Indians are in the Wild Card...But I would feel like a douche if I was to jump on the bandwagon now...I turned my back on the Tribe last year, and I'll stand by my decision, no matter how foolish it may have been...(I hope they win, but I'm not going to turn into Johnny Super Cleveland Fan)....

The Browns won their second straight game Sunday...Last week the joke was, "wow, these guys don't even know how to tank a season!"  Now we're all scratching our heads wondering if these jokers actually know what they're doing?

My Seahawks squeaked out an OT win in Houston Sunday....

Then there was Saturday's Notre Dame/Oklahoma game...The Irish lost 35-21, and considering the old Tommy Rees showed p and threw 3 INT's, and was 9-24 for just over a hundred yards, Oklahoma should be worried that it was that close...Rees handed the Sooners a 14-0 lead just 4 minutes into the game...As I sat on my bar stool, I turned my attention to the Indians game, knowing for some god forsaken reason, Brian Kelly refuses to give Andrew Hendrix a real shot at QB...

It was even more frustrating to see that every time the Irish pulled within a TD, the defense immediately fell on their face and gave up another one to the Sooners...

In other sad news for the Irish, USC fired the world's most overrated coach, Lane Kiffin Sunday, just 6 hours after his Trojans got beat up by Arizona State....It's bad news for everyone on USC's schedule...You know, because Kiffin sucked...But USC fans and Alumni have to be thrilled...Kiffin does two things when he gets a job...1. He sucks....2. He leaves a path of destruction that takes teams some time to recover from...USC should bounce back faster then Tennessee and the Oakland Raiders...

A lot of the media were getting all moist about Florida State...Well slow down people...FSU just gave up 34 point to Boston College...Yeah, the Seminoles won, but giving up that many points to a team that only scored 24 against Villanova, 24 against Wake, and 7 against USC...Time to get the defense back to work...

Saturday morning Molly and I went out birthday shopping for Little Beeze...His birthday is also this week...After spending too much money on him, and scoring some fall wear for her on sale, we found ourselves a new park, with some excellent swings...


Sunday morning and afternoon the kids and I had a fun time at MAPLESIDE_FARMS....It's a great place to have fun and spend money in the Fall...

Lastly, I wanted to mention something that has gotten nearly no attention the last week...The U.S. won the "America's Cup"....Yeah, that yacht race, that involves yachts that are not like the ones we dream of owning...The Oracle Team (U.S.) made an amazing comeback to win...That may not have gotten enough attention, but what I'm talking about is the team...

I find it annoying when all the sudden Americans feel the need to pound their chest over an event they pay no attention to...And now they are all pumped about winning The America's Cup...Yay, we rule at boat racing!

NO WE DON'T...1 of the 11 members of the Oracle crew was American...This team was made up of mercenaries...These weren't guys doing for their country, feeling honored to race for this land...They did it for a paycheck...You know what? Maybe we should be proud and pound our chest...Is there anything more American then outsourcing!?!

Have a week....

The Beeze.
