Monday Moaning



Yeah Oregon...I have you as my number one team...Sure Alabama is still rolling along...But it's easy to roll along when one of the last six teams you've played has a winning record...

1. Oregon
2. Florida State
3. Alabama
4. Ohio State
5. Miami
6. Baylor
7. Fresno State
8. Stanford
9. Oklahoma
10. Clemson

That's my top ten right now, based on schedule strength, wins, and what I have seen...I watch a damn good amount of college football...Too much my wife would say!   Along with a number of the college football talk shows, so I can be aggravated by the talking heads...Pleas keep telling me how great Alabama is...1 of the last 6 teams they have played has a winning record...The media needs to stop giving them points for what they did the last two years..."This is this."  It's all about this year...Only this year...

Baylor hits the meat of their schedule now, so we'll see if their high flying, high powered offense can keep it up...Oregon is # 1 because their schedule...People are not respecting how good the PAC is this year...And Oregon's offense showed this week, even after a bad start, and good D, they can take over a game...UCLA is good, and they thought they had the Ducks setup for an upset...Then Oregon rattled off 28 unanswered points....

Sorry Ohio State fans...Yeah, you rolled Penn State...It was only Penn State...Every week two things happen in the Big Ten...Ohio State looks to be getting better...And everyone else looks weaker...The Buckeyes are being dragged down by their conference...And based on what I've seen, of my top three teams, in my opinion, Alabama is the only one Ohio State can take down...Florida State's thrashing of Clemson last week proved a lot of doubters, including me, that they are for real...

-Now onto The World Series...I'm writing the before Game four is played...I want to be able to watch the game, and go to bed...I had a long weekend as we went to visit family out of town...I'll get to that in a bit...I just want to address this idiot obstruction call which lead to the end of game 3...Maybe, the rule was being called, based on how it is written, but if you look at the still pictures of it, it seems like horse shit...

Seriously, who's obstructing who?  And how is a guy laying on the ground from diving for a ball, suppose to magically get out of the way for a guy who isn't even in the base path?



And why is the guy who called the Obstruction looking at where the ball went instead of looking at the supposed obstruction that is just now taking place?  Jim Joyce sucks balls...I'm not trying to sound like sour grapes, Johnny Boston defender, I'm just calling it like I see it...And I've seen Joyce fuck up a lot of calls, that impacted a number of games over the last few years....Dude sucks!

-So we went out of town...Went to Erie PA...Saw my wife's sister and her family from Boston...Love spending time with my brother-in-law, and their kids...Knocked down plenty beers...Took the kids to Splash Lagoon, an indoor water park...They had a blast, but holy fuck it was expensive...Finnegan stopped at everyone, laid down on his back, and let them rub his belly...Saw the in laws...Saw an old dude who clearly didn't give a fuck about how he parks...



It was a good time, but I hate staying in hotels...All the packing, loading, unloading, unpacking, repacking, reloading, unloading, haven't unpacked yet...And I never sleep well in hotels...Molly slept well, but she still woke up Grumpy Saturday morning...


Shit, that face cracks me up...

-Lastly, Sunday legendary singer, songwriter, poet, rock & roll, icon, and artist, Lou Reed died at age 71...Reed's music was something people either love or hate...His voice was never great, but greatly unique...I was shocked to learn he was 71...Because Lou Reed never seemed old...He was always cool, before everyone else knew what cool was...

Rest in Peace...






That's it for now...

Hope you have a "Perfect Day"

Did Buffalo pull a Fast One on the Islanders?


 
 
So Hockey already has it's first big trade of the season...The Buffalo Sabres traded star goal scorer Thomas Vanek to the New York Islanders for Matt Moulson, a 2014 1st round pick and a 2015 2nd round pick...


Sure, Vanek has the label of sniper...Yes, he has had two 40 goal seasons and two 30 goal seasons...But guess what, Moulson has three 30 goal seasons under his belt...Moulson, just like Vanek is 29 years old, and both are slated to be free agents at the end of the season...

So the Islanders negotiations with Moulson weren't going well...So they trade him instead of losing any value they could get for him...But they traded him for a guy also on an expiring contract....And tonight Vanek's agent made it clear the deal was done without a contract extension in place....Vanek's agent Stephen Bartlett also hinted at the strong possibility of his client waiting until Summer for a new deal....

"We'll take it day by day and focus on the short term for now and see where we are at season's end."

That my friends is agent's speak for, 'We'll see if playing with John Tavares can put a big post in Vanek's stats, so then we can land a monster contract from the highest bidder!'

So the Islanders get that...Buffalo get s Moulson, a 30 goal scorer...A 1st round pick and a 2nd round pick...Similar player...Free agent at the end of the year, and two high picks...Darcy Regier and the Sabres win...Shit, if Regier can't lock down Moulson to a contract by the trade deadline, he'll trade him then for a couple of prospects...If there is one thing Regier knows how to do, it's rebuild and snatch good prospects....

If the Islanders were smart, they would have gone after a more important need, and gone after Buffalo goalie, Ryan Miller...Yes, the Sabres will move him this year...They have two strong, young goalies behind him...

What do you thing...Did Islanders GM Garth Snow shit the bed again?  I do!

Monday Moaning



Well, the World Series is set, and the Boston Red Sox are heading back there to take on the St. Louis Cardinals...And yeah, this household will be rooting for Mrs. Beeze's hometown Sox...Plus, I hate the Cardinals anyways!

I plan on keeping this post short...The Beeze is feeling beat up and tired...Friday, while at work, I was getting some stuff from a walk-in freezer, when a not well stacked, box of frozen duck breasts fell on my head...I was okay...My head hurt...And my neck and shoulder slowly started aching, but I finished the day...But the wife was up my ass to go to the ER and get checked out...So I did...A couple of Doctors checked me out...Their main concern was a concussion...My main concern was my neck...In the end, I'm okay, and was told, "You'll feel worse tomorrow, take lots of Advil." 

Yep, some cock-sucker went to college for 8 years to come up with that...It's all guess work in a white coat!

Friday evening I had promised to take my daughter and her friend to our local high school's football game...They were on the road this week, so we took a quick drive out to that...Our team was down 21-0 and had two players on their way to the hospital by the end of the 1st quarter...They got smoked...The final was 49-21, and the parents and fans on our side were going wild when out team started playing well on D and scoring in the 4th quarter...I just wanted to stand up and scream...'Relax people, it's our first string against their second and third stringers!'   I get being proud when your kids don't give up, but grab hold of some perspective...Your senior suddenly looks good, because the kid across from him is a sophomore...

We got home later then I wanted to, after stopping for a bite to eat...The place had a band that was doing all 80's covers, so I got a kick out of it, while the girls, not so much...I crashed in  my chair watching Louisville choke away their season to UCF...

Saturday I was suppose to finish redoing our garage roof with my buddy...Luckily it rained all damn day...The Garage work waited until Sunday...That all mixed with the constant run around with the kids has me wiped out...

Saturday night Notre Dame beat USC 14-10...A win is a win...And a win over USC is always good...The Irish defense carried the team, especially after QB Tommy Rees was knocked out of the game...The Irish coaches have said backup, Andrew Hendrix has the whole playbook, but it didn't look like that Saturday, as they barely let him throw...The few passes he threw were bad...The Irish kept it on the ground and tried to kill clock...Luckily, between the defense, and USC just not knowing who they are, the Irish pulled out the win...

There were plenty of upsets this in College Football...Checkout what UNCLE_B.O.B had to say...Also give TAGE a read, as he covered the Pats, Red Sox, College Football, the Mess at Grambling State, what a disgrace that is...and more...

I also want to share this...Very few people paid attention to the Miami (Ohio) and Akron game...Hell, I don't know who won...Let me look it up...Akron won 24-17...But you gotta see this fullback, just destroy this linebacker...





#43 from Miami is fucking wrecked...


The last thing I want to get into is Maxim Lapierre's dirty hit on Dan Boyle last week...




Lapierre only got 5 games for this...To me, that's bullshit...This guy is a repeat offender...Always talking shit...Always diving...And plenty of cheap shots...







And just ask Bruins fans about what a little asshole Lapierre is...The NHL has been talking tough about heads sots and hits from behind, and here is a guy who has a record, and he only gets 5 games...Fucking bullshit...

Not to mention, that Boyle is the second key guy on my fantasy team to be knocked out with a head injury...(Rick Nash is the other...Plus James Neal got hurt 4 minutes into the season...FML!)

That's it for now...Have a week...

Taking a Stand, Only When it's Trending



Call me old fashioned, but I have no problem with the Washington Redskins name and logo...But lately, it's become the trendy topic...The latest PC cause that every dolt wants to get behind...Even while the government has shutdown, and we sit on the edge of a possible economic collapse, because our politicians act like children, and could give a fuck what the people think, our President took time to give his two cents, on how the Redskins name is offensive....The fact that he's going to fuck around and waste time on that question is offensive...And the fact that a media member thought at this time, that asking the President about the Redskins was an important question, is offensive...

Then there was Sunday Night Football, and Bob Costas on his soap box again...




It wasn't just Costas...That gas-bag Peter King suddenly has a problem with the Redskins name...Now refusing to write the word...Others in the media are piling on...But I'm calling out Costas and King...These two fucking blowhards have been covering football for at least 30 years...Now, suddenly, when it's the big trend, when the topic is getting a bit of traction, these guys have a fucking epiphany...Now Redskins is a slur...Now Redskins is Offensive...This team was started in 1932...Now we're offended...

Costas compared the team name to others, including the Vikings and the Cowboys...Last I recall Vikings weren't the nicest of people...They did quite a bit of killing didn't they?  Maybe we should be offended by that...And holy fuck, the Cowboys...Cowboys killed Indians, AKA: Redskins...SO shouldn't we find that offensive...Dan Snyder needs to tell the NFL, 'Okay, if that prick Jerry Jones changes the Cowboys name, I'll change the Redskins name.'  We all know Jerry would tell Goddell to go fuck his mother over that...

This country has become far too sensitive...Hey, half my family is from Ireland...The Notre Dame Fighting Irish name doesn't bother me...I don't take as some asshole stereotype that all Irish people do is fight...We drink and eat potatoes too!

And why aren't King and Costas screaming for all the high schools in this country to change their Redskins nickname...In the Southwest there are at least 30 high schools with the Redskins nickname...Many on Indian Reservations...If you twats really want to go all Politically Correct, then go all the fucking way in...Don't just go after the big name with the big money...Go get all the little guys too...But Costas and King won't do that...That's not trendy and sexy...I just heard King on Mad Dog Radio, get asked that question, and he hid behind this...

"I don't write about that. I don't cover the Chicago Blackhawks, or Cleveland Indians, I don't cover High School Football. I write about the NFL, so I can only speak about Washington."

What a big, fat, pussy stance!  Typical of that gas-bag King!  He should change the name of his website to "Monday Morning Fat Fuck!"  (I'm totally buying that URL)

I'm sorry...Maybe the term Redskins is offensive...But there is no law...There is now ruling or writing that says we aren't allowed to be offended...People get offended...People get their feelings hurt...It's called life...Knuckle up...I'm fine with that logo and name up top...I'm not liking this idea...



As for the Cleveland Indians, and the mighty Chief Wahoo...Yeah, maybe he looks like a drunk, smiling red-faced Indian...Again, over-sensitive...It's a cartoon....And people are upset...Christ...Look at this comparison...


Now look at that...Does the Chief really look as over the top racist as the "Jews" and the "Chinamen?"  Personally, they could have gone harsher on the Chinamen to really push their point...But the pussied out...And lets be honest...Look at those two...Those would sell like hotcakes if they were minor league teams...BOOM!  I've got it...Time to make my Millions...I'm Starting a minor league baseball league...(yeah dropping league twice that quick felt weird)...Every team is having a cartoonish, "offensive" logo, to go along with their ethnic slur name!

Am I going too far...I don't think so...Some one has to try and balance out all this PC Bullshit!

Monday Moaning


         That looks like the right way to start the week...

I must start by apologizing...For the last couple weeks I have been an absent owner and contributor...There hasn't been any serious health factors, or major things going on in my life...I've just been in a funk...I have sat down to write, and I get there, and feel nothing...I have told myself, I have to write today, and hours later, I say, fuck it...I have been feeling a bit of depression, and I can't put a finger on why...The kids are good...The wife is good, and we are still bumping uglies on a regular basis...The puppy gets on  my nerves...Work is work...But when it comes to sports, I've been feeling 'whatever'...And writing, I've been feeling that too...So, I pulled away a bit...tried just not thinking about it...And then I went to write last week and my laptop was being a dick...just all frozen up....I took that as a sign...Took the week off...Check on few things via the phone, but just tried to get away from pressuring myself...I hope it worked....

 Last week, I watched the PBS documentary, "League of Denial"...I have to say, after watching this I want to boycott anything having to do with the NFL...These guys outright lied to players about concussions...The lied to the press...And they destroyed Doctors reputations, including the doctor who was the first to link football with CTE...Yes players do know the risks, but when the league is handing out booklets before the season that state "Concussions don't cause mental health damage" that is fucked up...Then you find out the NFL paid for a study that showed a link between head trauma, and CTE, and they sat on it for years...I was totally disgusted...This also backed up Mrs. Beeze's thoughts of not wanting Little Beeze to play Football, possibly Hockey...

But then a story broke late in the week, that was linked to the NFL, that really got me pissed...A two year old boy, fathered by Adrian Peterson died Friday, after being beaten by his mother's boyfriend, Joseph Robert Patterson (27)...This is just horrible...This guy needs to die...But it gets worse...A year ago Patterson was charged with abusing a 3 year old boy...1. How is he walking the streets?  2. Why is he alive at all? 

This is horrible...I feel awful that this happened to this little boy...But all of you people on the Internet need to stop jumping on the latest trends, and memes...Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, fucking everything has been flooded with pictures of a little boy with Adrian Peterson...Many have put angels wings on the little guy...That's sweet...Except the kid in that picture isn't dead...That kid is the boy Peterson acknowledges...This boy that died, Peterson denied being the father until a paternity test came back a few months ago...Up until then, he viewed this child as a prop being used to shake him down for cash...He had little, if any contact with this boy...One news story called the dead boy, "Peterson's SECRET son"...This is not to down play how awful the death of this boy is, just giving you trend-riders some truth behind the story...

And while I don't know Adrian Peterson, I do know the direction our society has been going, and I do know there is a good percentage of pro-athletes that just drop their cum all around and don't think about all the consequences...Just ask Cromartie with his 7 kids, 4 who are all the same age...




And now I find myself annoyed by those praising Adrian Peterson for being at practice, and praising him for playing Sunday...Why am I annoyed?  Because he shouldn't be praised for going to work...If some asshole looked at one of my kids the wrong way, I'm caving his fucking skull in...If some fucker lays his hands on one of my I'm taking my time killing him, and I'm live tweeting during it, taking suggestions for what to do next....Like I said, I don't know the guy, but I don't think he's that broken up about...I mean he refused this was his kid for over a year...Now he's off the books, and the media showing their love for him, for playing while dealing with this awful loss....

Yeah, I sound cold...I sound jaded...But it's hard not to be in this day and age...Call me an asshole, but I don't have any "SECRET" kids...I have 3 with my wife...I only fuck my wife...So, I may be an asshole, but I call it like I see it, and I don't follow the trends...

-In College Football there were some upsets in the top 25...But Michigan losing, shouldn't be called an upset if you've seen the rest of their games this year...They struggled with UConn for fucks sake!  Texas beat Oklahoma, saving Mack Brown just a little longer...(5) Stanford's hopes have been dashed after losing to Utah...OUCH!   Apparently (19) Northwestern left it all on the field in their loss to Ohio State, and got rolled by Wisconsin...(7) Georgia got worked by Missouri...But with all this, were the rankings really shaken up that much...NO, of course not...

-Hey Cleveland, shocker...No Hoyer...It's Weeden time again...


Get use to that stupid-ass losing face again Browns fans!  Losing to the Lions....Damn!

This has been a bit heavy and angry...So here, I'll give you a pic of the puppy...Finnegan is growing, and making me crazy...


That's it for now...I hope this gets me back in the swing of things...It felt good....

Have a week...

The Beeze.
