Monday Moaning

Yeah, that's a picture of Bobby Petrino when he was just a little horn-dog...Boy, his dick really messed up his world...But Petrino, and his stupidity got enough attention last week...Fuck him! This week I'm going to write a bit about me...

There's a major change happening in my life right now...You've all read plenty about me working at The Fish House...All total, I've spent 17 years working there...Mrs. Beeze and I met there...It's possible that we made our first born daughter there...Well, the big bosses upstairs have decided to start moving people around in the company...And I'm one of those people...After 17 years in The Fish House, they're kicking me over to one of their sister restaurants...I'm heading to one of their steak houses...Don't worry, I've cooked plenty of steaks at the Fish House, and other places...I'll be fine, except for the extra money I'll be spending in gas...I'm not happy about the move, but I'm holding back right now...Trying to be a good soldier...

But my friends at the Fish House sent me off in style...Making me a cock and balls cake...Then handing me a bag of goodies...They gave me a ball gag...A candy cock ring...An English cock ring and ball cage...A butt plug...And lube...Where else can you get going away gifts like that...Luckily this weekend was the Mrs. and my anniversary!

-Now onto sports...I wrote a couple days ago about THIS big loss to the Notre Dame Football team, and how it seems to be becoming a problem...

-Then news broke that the Cleveland Indians were signing Johnny Damon...Seriously, WTF!?! Nothing says winning like a washed-up, 38 year old, rag-arm, outfielder, 10 years past his prime! They'd be better off signing an injured Grady Sizemore...Oh wait, they did that too!

Of course they would do this, just days after I PRAISED them for locking up some of there young, core talent...

-Now we hit the NHL...The playoffs started this past week, and so far the games have been action packed...But the discipline is a little fucked up...Saturday night Carl Hagelin threw this shot at Daniel Alfredsson...




Hagelin got a 3 game suspension...Now the hit was a bit high, but it wasn't nearly as bad as a lot of shots I've seen this year...But even worse, this happened just days after Shea Weber slammed Henrik Zetterberg's face into the glass...




All Weber got was a little fine...Are you fucking shitting me...That was ten times worse the Hagelin's hit...Besides the fact that Hagelin doesn't have any history of dirty hits or violence...While Weber is well known for his physical play, and isn't the cleanest guy in the league...This is some,fucked up, retarded bullshit here!

-Speaking of fucked up, retarded bullshit...The stupid ass Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions were this weekend...And this year was one of those special years were the ceremony is actually held in Cleveland, you know, the city were teh Hall of Fame is located...We're so privileged to be allowed to have the ceremony once every 3 years...Holy fuck, who made this anal rape filled deal...

Then there is the fact that the local media can't control themselves when this happens...Each station has 4 reporters camped outside the same damn place...All going bat-shit crazy because one of the Rolling Stones showed up...Oh, look it's George Clinton and some B-listers...I can hardly fucking contain myself...I better break out that cock-ring and ball cage!

By Saturday night, I was fucking over it...I took to Facebook to share my frustration..."I'm really fucking sick of all the local media outlets, and their non-stop Rock & Roll Hall of Fame coverage...1. Have you been there? It's over-priced and not very impressive...2. If the inductions are such a big deal, why the hell isn't it on TV anywhere...3. Enough with the Guns & Roses talk, and stupid Axl...They only released 3 albums, and only one of those was good...Yet Rush and their 19 studio albums, shit they released 2 in 1975, along with their multiple live albums, are not in yet...Axl, Slash, Duff, the junkie drummer, and insert rhythm guitarist, aren't even worthy of being roadies for Rush...The R&RHOF can suck my ass!"

And I stand by every word I wrote there...Seriously, I went to the R&RHOF once...It cost way too much for what you get...I'll never spend another dime there again in my life...Seriously, Madonna, The Beastie Boys, Guns & Roses are in...But RUSH isn't...Shit, I hate KISS, but they should have been in long before the countless numbers of non-Rock & Roll acts...And ahead of G&R who have had much less of an impact on the industry then those douchebags KISS...

And there are plenty of inductees that I wouldn't call Rock & Roll...More pop type stuff...And I have to ask, while not a fan of Chicago, they should be in there long before a lot of this other shit...And you know what, put Journey in there too...Mother fuckers were gods of the Rock Ballad and Stadium Anthems...




All that bitching about the stupid R&RHOF has me angry as shit again...So I'll close with a picture of my little girl...Already in the 90th percentile in height, here she is trying to take her brothers old big-wheel for a spin...




Have a week...

Irish Lose Aaron Lynch

Yeah, what the fuck Aaron Lynch!?!

News broke today that star defensive end, Aaron Lynch was leaving the Notre Dame Football program, and will be leaving school after this semester...

Lynch from Cape Coral, Florida had made an immediate impact last season as a true freshman...He had been a top 30 recruit, and was living up to the hype...He gave the front-seven another strong threat, to go along with Manti Te'o...Lynch had enrolled early, and made everyone notice his raw ability...The coaching staff had no choice but to work him into the defensive line rotation...And just a couple weeks into the season, he was starting...

Word had spread that Lynch was tough to coach, and him constantly being homesick was not helping matters...So much so, that coach Brian Kelly sent Lynch home, and told him to really think about whether he really wanted to be at Notre Dame...When Lynch returned he sat down with Kelly and the decision was made...As Kelly said in his press conference today, "The challenges are great here. If your head and heart is not in it, you just can't be successful. Aaron and I talked about it and mutually agreed that the best decision for him is to leave the football team."

Lynch released this statement today..."This was one of the toughest decisions I have had to make, but I want to go back home to Florida. I'm grateful to Coach Kelly for understanding and allowing me to return home."

It's already been speculated that Lynch will end up at South Florida...

Kelly had also pointed out that Lynch hasn't been the only player he's seen who's heart or head aren't in it...A top 100 recruit, cornerback, Tee Shepard, who is from Fresno, California only lasted six weeks at Notre Dame before he realized it wasn't the right fit for him...

Kelly had also sent former 5 star recruit, Ishaq Williams home to do some soul searching, and find out if he really wanted to "excel at Notre Dame." Williams is back with the team...

Trying to end the topic during the press conference, Kelly said, "I've been in it 25 years, people are going to quit all the time. "It happens. It's part of the process. Why is it newsworthy? Because he (Lynch) is a really good player."

Losing Lynch's talent, and potential hurts, but DE is a position the Irish have a bit of depth with...Look for sophomore Stephon Tuitt to step right into Lynch's spot...

Now for the questions...Why is Kelly having trouble with top recruits lacking heart and head? Is it the way Kelly runs things? Is it the academics standards that are pushed more then they are in many major programs? Is it the fact that South Bend is South Bend? (Not the sexiest place around) Is it really these guys being soft and homesick? Possibly a combination of some or all?

Whatever it is, Kelly better figure it out, before it costs him his job...

Irish Get First Win of the Season...

And right there above is one of the keys to their success...Cornerback, Robert Blanton, who has been one of the defense's most consistent players this season, had a hell of a game against Michigan State...Blanton had 6 tackles, 3 for a loss, 1 sack, 3 passes broken up, and an interception her returned 82 yards, deep into Michigan State territory...

Saturday afternoon, in South Bend, the Irish defense finally nutted up, and took control of the game...Safety Harrison Smith was all over the place making plays...And the defensive line looked great...Lead by Freshman Aaron Lynch...Yeah, remember I mentioned him in my season PREVIEW...18 years old, 6'6" 265 lbs. and the kid was putting pressure on MSU Quarterback Kurt Cousins all day long...

he Irish gave up too many yards through the air for my liking, but holding a team to 29 yards on the ground is nice...

The Irish offense got two touchdowns from Cierre Wood, who has been rock solid for them now through 3 games...QB Tommy Rees did not put up flashy numbers like he did the last two weeks, but he has been consistent with turning the ball over...Adding another interception and another fumble to his tally...5 INT's and 3 Fumbles in two and a half games...So he has 6 TD's...5 INT's...and 3 Fumbles...Okay, Irish fans, lets stop acting like he's the greatest thing since Tony Rice...

Then the Special Teams...The Irish got a 89 yard kickoff return from Freshman George Atkinson III...I've been waiting to see this kid, and what a way to get people's attention...But then sure handed punt returner John Goodman fumbled a fair catch at his own 21 yard line...Luckily after that was when Blanton made his pick...

These guys need to seriously work on fielding punts...

I'll be honest, I kept my hopes in check this week...Even when the Irish seemed in control, I waited...After the first two games, I had no reason to be confident...Now I hope the Irish can build on this...But I'm not going to get my hopes up for next weeks game against Pitt...There are still plenty of things that need to get cleaned up...This is a good team, with plenty of talent...They just need to cool it with the brain farts!

Later, The Beeze.

The Beeze's 2011 Notre Dame Football Preview

I figure I better get this done since the Irish kick off their season Saturday...And in case you don't know, that guy above, Manti Te'o is going to be a big factor again this year...

Te'o, (133 tackles last season) leads a Notre Dame defense that showed steady improvement throughout last season...And the heart of the defense is Te'o and his fellow linebackers...Playing in the 3-4, he is joined in the middle by Carlo Calabrese, a run stopping machine...Seniors Anthony McDonald and David Posluszny add depth at middle linebacker...Sophomore Kendall Moore hopes his play on special teams will help get him in the rotation...

Senior Darius Fleming and sophomore Prince Shembo will be the starting outside linebackers with senior Steve Filer getting plenty of time in the rotation...Junior Dan Fox hopes to see more playing time either at the middle or outside, after having a great spring...

As good as the Irish look at LB, they look just as good at quarterback...


Dayne Crist will once again be the starter, no matter how much Irish fans fell in love with Tommy Rees late last season...Crist and his skill set are perfect for coach Brian Kelly's offense...Much of the playbook went un-used when Rees had to step in...While he is a excellent passer, he lacks the all-around athletic ability of Crist...Of course Crist has to stay healthy, something that has happened the last couple years...

If injury strikes, Rees, while he has experience, may not be the guy, as Sophomore Andrew Hendrix, who has the strongest arm of the bunch, is breathing down his neck...Hendrix is also a very tough and physical runner...Behind him is Freshman Everett Golson who is the fastest and most athletic of all the QB's...

With Armando Allen, and Robert Hughes now gone, the bulk of the running back duties fall to Cierre Wood...


Wood has a great speed, and excellent vision, and should do well in the spread...For the tougher yards, that Hughes pounded out, the Irish will look to Jonas Gray to be tougher, and hold onto the ball...But the Irish are thin at RB...Freshman Cam McDaniel will most likely be the third back on the team, and will get a look on kick returns...

At Wide Receiver, the Irish will look first and foremost at Michael Floyd...Floyd of course needs to stay healthy for once, and stay out of trouble...Personally I was disappointed that he wasn't hit with a tougher punishment for his latest DUI...

Behind Floyd is TJ Jones, and play-maker, Theo Ridick...Seniors John Goodman and Deion Walker need to step up this year...While undersized, Robby Toma (5'9", 175) seems to make all the tough catches, and makes a nice slot receiver...

Tyler Eifert is looking to be the next in a long line of excellent ND Tight Ends...Fifth year senior Mike Ragone is trying to comeback from countless injuries...Look for Sophomore Alex Welch to get some looks this year...

The Offensive Line is loaded with experience, and depth...Junior left tackle Zack Martin is one of the best in college football...He'll be joined by Chris Watt on the left side...Senior Braxton Cave anchors the line at center...Next to him on the right is seniors Trevor Robinson, and Taylor Dever...The Irish have 3 seniors to work in the rotation, including the versatile ANdrew Nuss...The Irish also have 5 freshman and a couple of sophomores waiting in the wings...

Lead by senior ends, Kapron Lewis-Moore and Ethan Johnson, the defensive line should be just as good as the linebackers...Junior Sean Cwynar will start at Nose Tackle, but Hafis Williams and Louis Nix will get plenty of playing time...But the player to watch, is early enrollee DE, Aaron Lynch, (6'6", 260) who by all accounts was the most impressive player in the spring game...


While, raw, the Irish coaching staff love his skill and athletic ability...Another top recruit, and DE, Stephon Tuitt (6'5", 270) could also find his way into some playing time...

Now we come to the Secondary, which will be lead by fifth-year senior, safety, Harrison Smith...


Smith is an intense, hard hitting, athletic player who was the teams second leading tackler last season...He needs to be even better this year, if the Irish defense is going to continue to progress...Playing the other safety spot will most likely be Zeke Motta, who stepped in when Jamoris Slaughter went down with an injury last year...Slaughter should still get plenty of playing time, and may be the teams nickel back, since the Irish are so thin at corner, and having played corner in the past...

the Irish have two excellent corner backs in Robert Blanton, and Gary Gray...Both have plenty of experience, quality cover skills, and both play the run very well...But behind them is youth and inexperience...Sophomores Bennett Jackson and Lo Wood need to really step up, or the Irish could be in trouble, if either Blanton or Gray get injured...

As for special Teams...the Irish have an excellent kicker in David Ruffer...Freshman Kyle Brindza will push for kick-off duties, and to take the punting job, as he has shown to have the teams most powerful leg...The Irish have plenty of talented players to use in the return game...Look for Theo Riddick and Bennett Jackson to get the first cracks at it...

I expect 10 wins this year...The Notre Dame schedule is not a walk in the park...They open Saturday against a good USF team, that has an underrated, multiple-threat QB in B.J. Daniels...And lots of team speed on the defensive side of the ball...This game should give us a good read on what the Irish really has as a team...

Stay tuned...

Go Irish!
