Monday Moaning

Well here we are again...Monday just gets here too quick...So let's start with this "Hunger Games" fad...I've been hearing about this movie long enough...So the Mrs. and I went to see it Sunday...No, I haven't read the books, since that's the first fucking question everyone asks when this damn movie is mentioned...And guess what, I'm not going to...I saw the movie, so if I read the book, I'll hate the movie even more, at least that's what happens often...

Okay, I didn't totally hate the movie...It kept my attention...But this bullshit, fantasy-land, run by Donald Sutherland, and his TV producers, pisses me off...As much as the politicians, corporations, and rich douches, control in this country, I have more faith in humanity, then to think we would stand by and be ruled like the people in this movie...

Then there is the violence...I've never had a problem with violence in movies...And I don't have a problem with it in this movie...It's part of the story...Personally, the idea of kids killing kids didn't appeal to me, and I didn't really like watching it...Hey, I know kids are dying violent deaths everyday, and it's awful...Shit the Trayvon Martin shooting has been pounded in our heads non-stop...Odd how no one is talking about THIS story of two black teens lighting a white teen on fire...Yeah, this white boy just played the race card! But that's for tomorrow blog...

Maybe it's because I'm a parent, I don't know, I just didn't like the idea of this movie...Then there was the fact, that it was too long...Some parts were just slow...My wife liked it more, and plans on reading the books...She also is on board too see the sequel...I already told her, "I've invested too much time in this shit!"

Then Sunday night, we watched another movie that has been hyped up for awhile...We watched "Bridesmaids"...Mother fuckers kept saying how it's like "The Hangover"...Not even close! Yeah, it had some funny bits, and some good lines...But then it was filled with all this nonsensical, pity-party, chick bullshit...And talk about too long...Way too much wasted time...I found myself saying, "When are they going to wrap this up already." If you compared this movie to "The Hangover" please punch yourself...

I sat down to write this blog, wanting nearly 5 hours of my day back...Honest to God, I feel like Sunday was a total waste for having watched these fucking, over-hyped, fucking movies...Some one needs to eat my ass!

-How about sports!?!

For the first time in my life, it looks like I may win money in a Bracket Pool...I have Kansas and Kentucky in the final, and I'm pretty sure no one in The Fish House Bracket can catch me...I hope not, because even though I have Kentucky winning it all, I won't be rooting for them...Not after seeing how the Kentucky students and fans reacted after beating Louisville Saturday


Seriously! Why the fuck are people still rioting after their teams win...And fuck Kentucky, you didn't even win anything yet! Shit, at least Vancouver waits until they lose before they go and throw a fucking riot...Not only do I hope Kentucky loses, but I hope everyone of their players rolls their ankles...Fuck them!

-I heard Jeremy Lin is hurt, and may be done for the season...GOOD! no people can stop talking about how great he is...And then about how great he isn't...Then is...Then isn't...Fuck him! Now can somebody put a bullet in Tim Tebow...Never before has a backup QB gotten so much coverage...Fucking private jets and press conferences for a backup...And fucking ESPN Radio can't stop talking about this shit...Even with the Final Four going on, they still slip in some Tebow talk every twenty minutes...Fuck him, and fuck them...

You shits-heads want to talk New York sports, talk about the actual good team you have...The league leading New York Rangers! My boys lost Sunday night to the Bruins, but I have no worries...This team is build to win, and their record proves that...And they'll finish the job in the playoffs...







So to recap...Fuck "The Hunger Games." Fuck "Bridesmaids." Fuck anyone who said it was as good as "The Hangover." Fuck Kentucky, and their fucking fans...Fuck Jeremy Lin and Tim Tebow, and the ESPN hype-machine...Show some respect to the New York Rangers...Watch Hockey...Look for my blog tomorrow about the Trayvon Martin shooting, and the media's fucked up coverage...Oh, and Fuck Mega Millions, since I didn't win!

Have a week...

The World Wide Leader in Shit!

Shockingly, this post isn't about Ron Jaworski saying "shit" during Monday nights telecast of the Patriots/Dolphins game...I'm annoyed so many people are bothered by that...Worse shit is said on TV all the time...Besides that, the guy had an honest moment, where he seemed to forget he was doing a broadcast, and felt like he was just talking football with the guys...Fucking people need to calm the fucking shit down!

But this post isn't about that...At the end of my MONDAY_MOANING blog, I mentioned how Joe Torre/Bud Selig/MLB refused a request by the New York Mets, to wear caps honoring 9-11 first responders on the the 10th anniversary of September 11th...I took my shots at Selig and Torre...Especially Torre since it went through his office, and I'd be willing to bet, that if it was the Yankees, he would have approved it...

But now, I'm going after ESPN...Why? Because I wrote about this bullshit Sunday night...ESPN didn't address it until Tuesday morning, when Mike and Mike danced around the topic...ESPN dubbed themselves "The world wide leader in sports" but that's crap...They may lead the world in making money covering sports, but they aren't the leader when it comes to reporting on sports...

ESPN is in bed with the NFL, NBA, MLB, NCAA...All have nice, juicy TV deals with the network...So it is rare for any of the analysts, talking heads, and so-called journalists, to take any of these leagues to task for glaring mistakes that they make...Yes, Mike and Mike both agreed that MLB made a bad call here, but they were gentle...They didn't light anyone up...For God's sake, the Mets game was the featured Sunday Night Game on ESPN...The fucking world wide leader should have taken a stand and demand that the Mets be allowed to wear caps featuring the FDNY, and NYPD and whatever else they wanted to wear...

But clearly, it's the league that holds the power over the network...What the fuck is MLB going to do? When their contract is up are they gonna sign a deal with Versus? Fuck them, let'em...Hardly anyone watches Sunday Night Baseball anymore...Most people lose interest with Baseball after the all-star break...And they lose interest with always seeing the Yankees, Red Sox, Cardinals, Mets, Phillies, and Cubs, which are the teams featured in 90% of the games telecast on ESPN...

But Mike and Mike just said, MLB made a bad call...Jason Stark said, "It was a mistake"...Buster Olney tweeted, "IMO, I think MLB should have let Mets wear NYPD, NYFD hats on 9/11 anniversary. I have talked w/execs with various teams who agree with MLB."
...He also tweeted, "I wish MLB had looked at the Mets' hat situation like a version of their throwbacks -- a hat that had specific meaning, in a time and place."

Such harsh fucking words! MLB screwed up big time...They could have shown a some class, but instead they played the stupid policy game...ESPN screwed up just as bad, because they didn't use their power to force the issue...And then after the fact, they didn't use their power, to bitch slap MLB...Instead they all scrambled to apologize for an announcer saying "shit" at 10:00PM during a football game, on cable TV...That's right folks, you actually pay extra for ESPN...It's not NBC, ABC, CBS, or FOX...They are actually allowed to say "shit" just watch a show on FX at 10:00PM!

Once again, ESPN shows their lack of balls, and that they are full of shit!

Freedom of Speech: Not Just For Radio Douchebags

That's right, Freedom of Speech is actually something we all have...But often I hear gasbags on the radio, and on TV who feel that right is only for the people who have a degree in communications...Well fuck all that!

Here's where I'm coming from...Today, after work, on my way to pick the kids up from school, I had the Scott Van Pelt Show on the Radio...SVP, and his co-host who gets screwed on the name recognition, Ryen Rusillo, were talking about a Scottie Pippen interview from the Mike & Mike Show...They were going on about some who is better, LeBron or Jordan...Blah, blah, blah...I fucking hate Basketball, but we all know Jordan was the shit...

Anyway, the topic seemed to go off track when Van Pelt started talking about how Jordan didn't have to deal with the same scrutiny as James, because "The world today is so cynical, and angry." And of course, most of the blame for this anger and cynicism was put on Twitter and Bloggers...My God, these talking heads love to hate on bloggers...I think they actually see themselves becoming irrelevant because of all the quality bloggers, and vloggers out there...

But guess what, Anger and cynicism have always been in this world...It's just now people have an outlet for it...An outlet that is easy for you, or anyone to access...In the good old days, I guy would have a shit day at work, hear something on the radio on his way home, that pissed him off...He get home, bitch about to his wife, who wasn't listening, and then go kick the dog, and tell the kids to leave him alone...Now he can pull out iPhone, or laptop, and fire off a tweet, or write a blog, and boom...That shit's off his chest, and the dog doesn't have any broken ribs...

But for some reason twats like these guys don't think our opinions matter....(I actually like their show, usually)...I've also heard this crap from one of my favorite comedians...Jim Norton who is also 3rd mic on my favorite radio show, The Opie and Anthony Show, has bitched about bloggers before...I've heard him go off, just bashing bloggers, and how they suck, and no one cares, and how they're needy for attention...What, and his ego isn't needy for attention, standing on stage, or talking on the radio? I love Norton, but this is one thing that bothers me...

Technology, and the Internet has afforded the everyman the ability to get their thoughts and opinions off their chest, and out there...It doesn't matter if 2 people read it, or 2 million...It's out there, and it's off my chest...Freedom of Speech wasn't just given to Radio show host...Newspaper Reporters, TV talking heads...It's not just for those with a degree in communications, or for a guys that got lucky and fell into a great job...It's there for all of us...Even dopes like me with a degree in business, who sweats his balls off in a kitchen for a living...So you can trash bloggers, and I can trash you...Eat a dick...That's the beauty of it!
