Johnny's Vegas Vacation (calling out the Cleveland sports media)

 

The Cleveland media has lost it's goddamn mind...They are shocked...They are upset...They frustrated...And very few of them are smart...or at least they just are trying to get listeners, or page views, by harping on the fact that Johnny Manziel spent this past weekend in Vegas...

Now, to be clear, just about every fucking idiot member of the Cleveland sports media, wanted the Browns to draft Johnny Manziel...We all knew his background...We all knew he parties...Dude went to Texas A&M...and showed up at a Texas frat party drunk, just to talk shit...We all know he's cocky, and he does what he wants...That's why I thought drafting him was a horrible idea...Along with the fact that he's short, and I don't think he'll last in the NFL...

So why the hell are all of you people shocked?  Why are you ranting and raving that this dick-bag went to Vegas on his weekend off?  You sound like assholes...Whimpering, jealous, douchebag, assholes...This is what Manziel does...He's brash...That's what you wanted...You got it...Deal with it...Shut the fuck up!

As a Clevelander, I've decided the tables need to be turned...I want to know what the Cleveland sports media members did this past weekend...How did you spend your weekend Kiley and Booms? Hey Rizzo, what did you do? Did you get drunk, again? Did you rough up your wife again Rizzo? Tony Grossi and Mary Kay Hack, what did you do this weekend?  How many times did you diddle yourself Mary Kay, as you drooled over pictures of Manziel?  Stupid Jim Donovan, what did you do this weekend? Did you fantasize about a threesome with Kris Pickel and Betsy Kling?

The media now being a 24/7 thing, with the help of Twitter and Instagram, seems to harp on the nonsense and ignore any real substance....Manziel went to Vegas...He's 21, got money, had the weekend off...I'd be more concerned if he didn't go some where and enjoy himself...

Grow the fuck up Cleveland.

Monday Moaning



Welcome to another Monday...This Monday being Memorial Day...Yes, Memorial Day...And just for the record everyone on Twitter, and Facebook, there's no need to post your "Memorial Day isn't just about cookouts, ballgames, and parties" comment...I KNOW....I took history classes in college just for fucking fun!  Here's a Memorial Day fun fact for ya....

Memorial Day was started by former slaves on May, 1, 1865 in Charleston, SC to honor 257 dead Union Soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp. They dug up the bodies and worked for 2 weeks ...
to give them a proper burial as gratitude for fighting for their freedom. They then held a parade of 10,000 people led by 2,800 Black children where they marched, sang and celebrated.


 As for sports...The NHL schedule makers have decided to make my life miserable, as everyone of the Rangers playoff games seem to be on nights I work...While their off days fall on my days off...For example the Rangers and Habs played Thursday...Then the NHL gave them Friday and Saturday off...Which shockingly were my days off this week...What the hell is that...They don't need two days off...I do, but I'm not millions like they are! Then they played again Sunday...While I was working...They get back at Tuesday...While I'm working...


We spent a portion of Saturday cleaning out our basement, as the foundation work, and basement reno starts Tuesday morning...The rest of the house is quite crowded now, and will be for two weeks...I hope the weather is nice...I plan on Molls, Finnegan and I spending a lot of time at the park...Speaking of my little girl, I've realized I haven't popped her face in a blog in awhile...Here she is this past Saturday...





-I did find some excitement on Twitter when I wished harm on Canadiens forward, Daniel Briere...This past week, Briere's teammate Brandon Prust, took a late, cheap-shot at the head of Rangers center, Derek Stepan...It broke Stepan's jaw, and he had surgery Friday, (a plate had to place in there)...Briere comment that it seemed fishy, that the Rangers were playing games...Dude had a broken jaw...How the fuck is that fishy...Why would you have your top center miss at least one game and get surgery as a gamesmanship tactic...I have grown to hate every Montreal Canadiens player and coach...Their idiot coach just won't shut up...Oh, hey boys...Your now down 3-1 after the Rangers OT win Sunday night...You know what...Keep talking shit, and keep losing!

So yeah, I called for harm to Briere, and my twitter blew up...Many people retweeted it, and favorite it...Many got mad at me...Including some so-called Rangers fans...I don't care...Fuck them...Briere is a twat, just like all those diving, crying twats on that team...But the one guy coming at me the most was a dick-bag from Boston who on his profile quotes Milan Lucic's "I'm going to fucking kill you next year!"  When I called him out on this including the #TwitterCunts which I hope takes off, he went silent with me...Typical!

I also found this while I was playing with the puppets on Twitter...Gave this old goalie a chuckle...





(Click on the audio in the top left for a little more effect)


That's it for me folks...Taking the kids to the local Memorial Day parade...Gonna see some friends....Gonna grill some burgers...Drink some beers...Hopefully the History Channel will have some cool shit on, instead of a "Pawn Stars" marathon!

Have a week...

Monday Moaning



Who needs a drink?

I do!  Shit, I already have two...Why waste time getting up and going to the fridge when you have all this room on the desk!?!

That's one of the biggest things I've noticed since going back to working night...I drink more...Not a lot...But I have a couple/few at least 3/4 times a week...You're kind of wound up after the shift...And then you get home, and douche the kitchen stank off of yourself, and you're wide awake...And you know a kid will be waking you up in a handful of hours...So you have a couple to relax, and maybe crash a little easier, and sooner...Unless you get hooked into some dumb movie you've already seen a 100 times...

Then there was Friday night...The Mrs. and I went out for dinner...I had the night off...She had a gift card for Outback Shithouse...The Beer was good...The bloomin' onion was what it is...The Tortilla soup was good, but they need to take the chicken out of the name, since there was none in the soup...Then came our steaks...Her's was good fine...My medium rare came out, barely cooked...It could have moo'ed me a song and done a fucking jig...So, even though I hated doing it, I sent it back...The manager brought a fresh one out, and waited for me to cut into it...As soon as I cut it, he picked it up and said, I'll take care of this...It was that raw, that he stepped in before I could fly off the handle...They bought the steak, and sent out another that was okay...But by that point, I was over it...

Then we went to elsewhere for a couple more drinks, and desert...After that we hit an ATM so we could pay the sitter...Then, we stopped in a lot behind the bank, where the Mrs. dropped an gobbled...That's always a sign of a good night...Dinner may not have been great, but the drinks did their part! Here we are, married 13 years, 3 kids, and she's still a gamer like that...She's the best!

SInce I'm talking about Mrs. Beeze...Almost a month ago I took her to the Christina Perri concert at the House of Blues, for her birthday...I really didn't know the chick with the exception of the few songs my wife an daughter play...I have to admit, she put on a great show, and has a cool voice...But I was even more blown away by the opening act, who was only 17 years old...Her music was more suited for a coffee house, but wow, she's got some talent...She goes by the name Birdy...





And while I'm talking about talented girls...Last Monday was my oldest daughters school band concert...And at one point, their teacher let her put down her clarinet, and her, and a friend took to the keyboard to perform a short piece they wrote themselves...





I'm very proud of them...And I find it refreshing that in 2014, my 12 year old daughter is downloading a the same music on her iphone, that I have...This past week, she just asked me if I added any new Beatles or Rolling Stones songs...We both grabbed some Birdy songs as well...In a world full of one-hit wonders, and bullshit Jay-Z crap, and stupid fucking Bieber, I have a 12 year old daughter searching for good classic rock tunes on iTunes...And yes, I suggested "Gimme Shelter" and "Paint it Black"...And of course, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"...I may try to turn her onto Husker Du this week!

Maybe you're asking, where's the Sports? I don't know, I was working during every damn NHL playoff game I wanted to see...But the Rangers beat the Penguins, and then rolled Montreal Saturday...This after Montreal beat Boston, and somehow managed to still get their Canadian feeling hurt...But if you watch Montreal play, the diving, the crying, and bitching, the cheap shots...You'd understand why people don't like them...They are the Canadian version of the Penguins...Douche-nozzles!

Last I saw, Sterling is still a racist, and keeps saying stupid shit...Tall guys are playing basketball, and I have spent no time or energy on seeing what that's about...Baseball...I'll get to you when Hockey is done...

California Chrome won the Preakness Saturday...I was working...So now, everyone's hopes are up again...Is this the horse that will do it...Finally a Triple Crown winner....Let me answer that for ya...NO! But we're going to get a few weeks of hype...Hopefully it draws more people to watch the Belmont...But you can have California Chrome...I'll take the field...

Have a week...

The Beeze.

That's right people...Kate Upton is a Rangers fan too...But lets be honest...Smart, foulmouthed guys like me, and good looking women have one thing in common...Our love of the Rangers...Am I right Margot Robbie?


Yeah....I'm right....


Sunday night the Rangers tied up their series with the cheap-shotting, always crying, Shittsburgh Penguins...The last couple of games the Rangers seem to be clicking...Although it still scares me that the line of Brassard, Pouliot, and Zuccarello have been their best line...Pssst...Rick Nash, get your shit together!   Game 7 will be Tuesday night...And of course, like most games nights...I'll be working...SHIT!

And anyone who wants to deny Crosby is a cheap-shotting, dirty, crybaby player...NBC Sports actually showed it, and called him on it...I know...I was shocked too...It was after game 5 and the Rangers had all the Penguins frustrated...Crosby slashed, speared, cross-checked, shoved, multiple Rangers, and then would cry when some one knocked him on his ass, or pushed back...Here's a clip from game 6 of Crosby being a punk-ass...But there's a bonus feature in it...




Watch closely, as Crosby is slammed to the ice, and Lundqvist is skating by...Henrik gives him a little water bottle squirt to the face...I love it....

It's even more funny, because there was all kinds of shit raised about Bruins Shawn Thorton squirting PK Subban in the face Saturday...I believe Thorton was fined...So I'm sure Boston will be watching to see what happens with this...Mind you, any fine they could give Lundqvist wouldn't even dent his wallet...

Anyways...Fuck Crosby...I'd completely be happy if his career ended Tuesday...He may be a superstar that the NHL is trying to sell...But he's not what you should be selling...I would never tell a kid, 'watch Crosby, that's how you should play'...It's not...If I was building a hockey team and was told I had to take 5 Penguins...He wouldn't be on my team...He can score...Big deal...Hockey isn't just scoring...Fuck Crosby!

Now...I guess I need to talk about the NFL Draft...I mean it was the big news this week/weekend...I watched Thursday night...I loved the Browns trading down...They robbed the Bills of their 1st and 4th next year, just so the Bills could move up 5 spots...Then the Browns took shutdown corner Justin Gilbert...And Browns fans bitched...Heaven forbid you have a guy playing opposite Joe Haden to lockdown the secondary...There was even a former sports writer from the Cleveland Plain Dealer who bitched on twitter how CB's don't win games, QB's do...Hey Timmy Rogers, maybe that's why you're out of work dipshit...You're right, Seattle's defense had nothing to do with their success...Fucking idiots!

Then all the talk was about Johnny Manziel falling...Except, if anyone paid any real attention to scouts, you'd know that NO NFL team thought he was worth a top 10 pick...Then the Browns jumped up from 26 to 22 for their 5th round pick, and....They took Manziel....And Cleveland went batshit, fucking crazy with joy...A new savior has risen to throw interceptions!

Forgive me for not being as excited as the rest of Cleveland...I don't like the kid...And I don't think he'll last in the NFL...Then Friday it was leaked that the Browns paid $100,000 for a full, analytical, statistical breakdown, of who would be the best QB in this draft for them...It came back Teddy Bridgewater...So, that the guy I liked, and I'm not surprised the Browns ignored what their money told them...Then, just before round two and three kicked off, it was released that All-Pro, WR Josh Gordon failed another drug test...Second in the NFL, plus two in college...Some fucking assholes never learn...So he'll be suspended for awhile...But the Browns didn't change their draft strategy, even after it broke the WR Nate Burleson broke his arm in OTA's...So Greg Ooops I Dropped It Little is the man, because the Browns drafted no WR's...But I really like the RB from Towson they drafted...Could have...Better have a strong ground game this year!

Listen, I don't like the Manziel pick, but I like how they got there...I like that they raped the Bills over 5 spots, so they walk into next years draft with 2 first rounders again...I love the Gilbert pick...Dude also is quick and can return kicks...They picked up a good Tackle, and a good Running back...A strong LB from Iowa, and another depth CB...They had a plan and they executed it...We'll see how it works...


And then some draft news for all the Notre Dame haters...The Irish had 8 players drafted...Then 6 undrafted free agents signed...How'd your team?

Oh, and when you watch the draft next year, watch on the NFL Network...Fuck Berman, Gruden, Kiper, and Ray Lewis...And besides those annoying ass-hats, Mike Mayock blows Kiper out of the water...Dude knows his shit...Hits on a lot more then Kiper or McShay...Shit, Mayock nailed it at pick 100 when it was a kid that won't even play next year because of a ACL injury that happened at the senior bowl...I about shit...

That's it for now...

Have a week...

Monday Moaning



Happy Monday folks...I hope everyone got some moaning done this weekend...So for awhile I've been disconnected from news and sports, but all the Donald Sterling coverage got me warmed back up...But it wasn't just Sterling being a dope...It was the fact that a private conversation got this guy in trouble...But there is more...How the Internet has changed us...I blasted off a few thoughts HERE ...

So Sterling is in trouble with the NBA for a private conversation...But last I checked, No one has said a word about ESPN's Stuart Scott tweeting that Blacks and Hispanics can't be racist...Only Whites...1. Bullshit...2. Why is everyone so quiet about it...Yet a guy who working for Video game developer Turtle Rock was fired for this tweet...


I don't know if I would use the word victim...But I don't think the guy is actually wrong...Nor should he have been fired...This was Turtle Rock's statement...

"The comments made by our former community manager stand in stark contrast to our values as a game development studio. We sincerely apologize for his remarks and in no way endorse or support those views."

REALLY!?!  You make first-person shooter games...You're all good with promoting and selling violence, but your employees can't have an unpopular opinion about an old bigot...Can't speak their mind...That's some stupid shit!

Then We saw Twitter explode with "#Nigger" trending because PK Subban scored a game winning 2OT goal to beat the Boston Bruins...Everyone felt the need to speak out about it...You know what...Assholes are going to be assholes no matter what...Freeze their Twitter account...Attack them back on twitter (taking the bait)...it doesn't matter...They're an asshole, and most likely they're set in their asshole ways...No matter how much you get upset, they're not changing...Let the idiots say their stupid shit...Try this wacky idea...Ignore the idiot asshole!

Then in game 2 Subban broke a out a cheap shot...No the first time...Won't be the last... HERE's a good post about it...Yeah...It was covered on the Gab, but most of the sports media has stayed away...WHY?  Because everyone is so damn afraid to say anything negative about about a black person,  because in this day and age, you are automatically attacked as a bigot, or racist, or insensitive...And some one will bring up slavery...Well listen...It's 2014...Slavery was fucking evil, but it's been long fucking gone...Slavery has had zero fucking impact on PK Subban life...So I'm not afraid to say, they guy is a cheap shot artist...Just like white boy Matt Cooke, (who should be out of hockey, and beaten within an inch of his life)...Subban is talented, but will play dirty, and will turtle anytime some one of equal size or bigger challenges him to drop the gloves...I'm not saying this because he's black and I'm white...I'm saying this because I fucking watch hockey!

And for anyone who is unhappy because I subtly said I'm sick of hearing about slavery...Well, I am...My white, Irish, Hungarian, Croatian ancestors didn't own slaves...Had nothing to do with it...My Father doesn't owe shit...My dead Grandfather doesn't owe you shit...I don't owe shit, just like no one owes me shit...My Irish ancestors, like most when they first came to America were treated like shit...They struggled...By they made it through...My Grandfather and Father didn't bitch all these years later about "NINA" signs (No Irish Need Apply)...Do you know why the Irish have a long/proud tradition in Fire Departments and Police Departments across this country...Because no one else wanted those jobs...No one else wanted their life on the line every day...But the Irish need work...So they took the jobs...

People in the media keep saying we need to have an open and honest discussion about race in this country...But everyone is too damn afraid of offending everyone to have that talk...Which is fucking sad, because Saturday at work, the guys in the kitchen and I were having a great talk about it all...White guys, Black guys, Hispanic guys...No one got upset...No one threw punches...Everyone had their say, and everyone understood each other...And everyone thought Sterling's girl was just a dirty gold-digging bitch...

It's not that hard America...Supposedly we have Freedom of Speech...Use it...Don't be afraid of it...

Have a week...

Now every year the wife, kids, and I pick horses, and have a family bet...But I like to place a couple real bets as well...That said, I'm out of the loop this year...So this year I'm going solely off of the studying I did over the last couple hours...No science here...Just some old fashioned reading, and guess work...

Clearly, California Chrome is the favorite...Favorites suck...No money to make there...Screw that horse...I'm taking 6. Samraat (16-1) to win...A couple people in the know really like this horse...And there's good money to be made...I'm all in...20. Wicked Strong (9-1) to place...Good horse...Good name...Moves into the 19th post position with 11. Hoppertunity scratching...A lot of people liked that horse, but a possible foot injury has taken him out...to show, I'm going with 12. Dance With Fate (16-1)...hey, when you're guessing at horse racing, how can you not take a horse with that name...He should run well, I just hope he'll hold off 5.California Chrome (5-2)....

For a longshot...I like 15. Tapiture (29-1)...I'll probably throw a couple bucks on 17. Commanding Curve (23-1) as well...

Good luck!

The Beeze.

PC Police Run-a-Muck



This was the Oklahoman's headline after the Thunder lost to Memphis...Calling Kevin Durant "Mr. Unreliable"....

The following day, The Oklahoman apologized...

WHY!?!   The guy plays well in the regular season...And doesn't bring it home in the playoffs...

This is what we have become...A newspaper calls out a star player...and then almost immediately takes it back...Everyone is now walking on egg shells...Everyone is afraid to be honest...Afraid to tell the truth...Afraid to have a real opinion...

This comes just days after the NBA banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling because of racist remarks he made in private...Donald Sterling is an old, asshole racist...He has had a clear history of this...But the NBA did nothing for years...Then Sterling was at home, arguing with a young, gold-digger, who without his knowledge, was recording his every word...And if you actually take the time to listen to the recordings, she was baiting him into the racist remarks...He said awful shit...Personally, I hate the guy...But as an American, as a person, who is tired of freedom of speech being under attack, I have to say this is bullshit...

I'm not sure why this bitch isn't arrested for illegally recording Sterling...But most importantly, it was private...We can't start firing people for what they say in the privacy of their own home...I'd like to ask NBA players, officials, GM's, coaches, and owners, would you feel comfortable with some one recoding everything you say at home, without your knowledge, and then selling it to TMZ?

Are you sure there isn't any awful or embarrassing shit you may say, that you would hate for the public, or family, or friends to hear?

How about you Average American? How about the readers of this blog? Can I record your private conversations? Are you sure that you want everyone to know the inappropriate jokes you make? Do you want everyone to know you like to get choked, while getting fucked in the ass?

We are quick to judge the rich and famous...But flip around on yourself...PC Police Run-a-Muck is the title of this post...The thing is, Al Sharpton, Anderson Cooper, and all these dopes in the media aren't the only ones who make up the PC Police...We all do...All of us, with our cell phones, taking pictures and videos of everything, and posting it...Tweeting every detail of an event...Texting your friends about what you just saw...And it spreads...

People see a picture on Instagram...Maybe a sexual image...Some one will be offended, and report it...Maybe a picture of a saying...It contains the word Fuck...Some one is offended...Rat them out...

Some where along the way, people in this country have pushed freedom of speech and expression aside, and they all think that they should never be offended...Fuck that!

But it's not just that...With all this technology...These fucking smart-phones...People feel the need to share the worst of ourselves, feeding the talking-heads and the PC Police...

A video gets posted on World Star of a black guy beating the shit out of some one...It gets tweeted...A dope makes a racist comment about it on twitter...He gets digitally attacked, then gets banned by Twitter...The his boss saw the tweet...Fearing some one may know where he works, he gets fired, because the boss doesn't want people to think the company is racist...

An assault was posted online...Ratting that dude out...Dude says shit about it online, gets ratted out to the site...Boss fears overreaction, and overreacts...We do this shit to ourselves...

Even worse...

A high school kid gets a blowjob under the bleachers from his girlfriend...One of his buddies films, it, and texts it out...The administration finds out, they get suspended...The whole school calls her a slut...She's mocked online...She kills herself...Everyone claims innocence, even though the evidence is floating around the internet...They'll all act sad, in front of school counselors, forgetting that they pushed her to her grave...

BTW, perfectly good blowjob ruined...

Smart-phones are great...Twitter, Instagram, all that shit can be great...But are we screwing it all up? 

We've gone too far....I don't care that Donald Sterling is a racist...And neither did Doc Rivers when he signed a $21 million contract...It was already known then...But once it was put in a broader, public light, Doc is offended...I call that bullshit...Sterling gets banned from the NBA for what he said in private...Bullshit...Dude sucks, but it's bullshit...Kevin Durant was called "Unreliable," then the newspaper got scared, and apologized...Bullshit...That's what I'm talking about...The Oklahoman did nothing wrong, and turned themselves in, for fear that some one would be offended because they took "Unreliable" out of context...Get it...They called a black guy "Unreliable"....BULLSHIT!

People need to be offended...It can lead to good conversations...As opposed to squashing freedom of speech/expression for fear that some one may have their feeling hurt...We need our feelings hurt at times...just to remind us we're alive.

The Beeze.
