Monday Moaning

I'm still wondering why so many people waste time in March watching basketball, when there is perfectly good Hockey to checkout!

Seriously, how many of you have a bracket that is totally screwed?  'Well everyone's is screwed so I got a chance still!' 

No you don't! You don't have a chance at all, because some little prick's dad let him do one, and he's got a damn near perfect bracket so far...It happens every year, everywhere...Just tap out now!

You could have been watching the NHL as team fight for playoff positions...Or you could be getting into a different NCAA tourney...The Hockey tourney! This weekend the conference tournaments finished up, and the NCAA Hockey bracket is set...

In the Midwest we have 1. Minnesota State vs.  4. RIT and 2. Nebraska-Omaha vs. 3. Harvard...

In the Northeast is 1. Boston University vs. 4. Yale and 2. Minnesota-Duluth vs. 3.Minnesota...

In the East 1. Miami (Ohio) vs. 4. Providence and 2. Denver vs. 3. Boston College...

and in the West is 1. North Dakota vs. Quinnipiac and 2. Michigan Tech vs. 3.St. Cloud State...

Honestly, I really like Boston U. but after the roll Yale, either one of those Minnesota's is gonna be tough...North Dakota is one you always have to respect, but Michigan Tech has been really hot late in the season...Minnesota State has the easiest road...In the East, Miami is hot, Providence has an elite goalie, Denver is strong, and BC is BC...Flip a coin there!

It should be a funny tourney...The DVR will be working hard this weekend!

-On the home front Finnegan was needing a serious grooming...When I made the appointment they told me the regular lady was on maternity leave, so it would be some one else...I said that it was fine, because he doesn't like it no matter who it is...She always complains about how tough he is...Well, the Mrs. dropped him off and told the girl, you'll want to restrain him, or muzzle him, because he fights....Yeah, well, he managed to bite her three times through the muzzle, and drew blood...They called us, and said, "Pick up Finnegan, he looks silly, no charge." My wife handled it, because I was getting annoyed/angry at the woman on the phone...So here is the little asshole...Looking like a fool...

Saturday evening our oldest daughter was punished for getting a couple grades this quarter that are way below what she can do/has done...(Getting a little too distracted by fucking asshole boys!) SO she had to babysit the other two while the Mrs. and I went to a gem of an area in Cleveland known as Little Italy...We had a couple drinks, a nice dinner, and a great dessert...Everything there is a damn landmark, and reminds you of that time long forgotten when little tightknit neighborhoods like this were everywhere...

I laid in bed that night thinking about how this Irish-Hungarian-Croatian boy would love to own a property down there and bang out some bad-ass Italian food with these folks...Then the greatest idea popped in my head...Slap in an old school Irish Pub right in their little Italian haven...With (good tasting, it's possible) authentic Irish food...Lamb stew, Boxty and Bangers, Sheppard Pie, Boil Dinner, some Salmon that will make you moist...All kinds of good shit...Something tells me there would be a hit put out on me in about 5 seconds! But what the hell, a guy can dream!

-In who give a shit news, The Cleveland Browns are in the running to be the next team featured on HBO's Hard Knocks...I'm sitting here thinking, who the fuck cares?  Who would want to watch this mess?  Oh yeah, just about everyone, because everyone has to watch a train-wreck!  We say we don't want to see the awful carnage, but who are we kidding, Americans love disaster movies, and in over their heads owners, who are constantly under federal investigation, sitting there telling the clueless GM to text personnel and play calls to the OC during the game...

Seriously, the whole world could finally see just what a mess it is, and why Clevelanders are so fucking miserable...The Browns haven't signed much this off season, but this is one deal they have to sign!

That's it for now...Fuck Basketball!

Have a week!
