The BIG news this past week and weekend seems to be celebrities dying...In case you missed my view on the disgusting over coverage and non-stop love fest for Michael KID TOUCHER Jackson...Click on over... http://thebeezewax.blogspot.com/2009/06/if-this-offends-you-im-sorry.html ...It may be a little harsh...But when have I cared about offending people...The guy...I mean thing, was a kid toucher, who happened to sing...He hasn't been relevant for years and now all the sudden everyone loves him again, and forgets what creep he was...That's why I'm here...To slap people in the face and say wake the f**k up!
Farrah Fawcett also died...She had the front page for about 2 hours...Then Jacko kicked the bucket and stole her thunder...Billy Mays was found dead Sunday...You know, that annoying infomercial guy...And don't forget Ed McMahon...The celebrities are dropping like flies...It really bothers me how people, along with the media make a big deal about this...Death is the end result of life...It happens every day...And I'll guarantee you that this weekend plenty of other people died and they meant a hell of a lot more to many people then stupid Michael Jackson...Don't fly your flag at half staff (Rock & Roll Hall of Fame) for Jacko the Wacko...Do it for the countless soldiers who have died...Do it for the fallen police officers...Our Priorities have gotten really f**ked up.
By the way...Tippy Tom, the gay, drunk, homeless, guy, best known for being on the Opie and Anthony Show also died...He did more for me then Billy Mays...
When I was a kid I rooted for my home town teams...I still do...But when I was a young kid, my dad gave me a Ryne Sandberg Cubs jersey for Christmas...I don't know why, and I never asked...He's always been a Cleveland guy...So I never understood...But then in the Spring I would get home from school and watch Cubs games with him...I watched Sandberg intensely...Maybe he did this because he wanted me to learn how to play the game the right way...
I'm glad he did...Because of all this I became a Cubs fan...But I just always looked at them as my National league team...And the Tribe was my American league team...
8 years ago I became a Red Sox fan by way of marriage...It was the best thing I've done sports wise...So from this day forth...I'm fully a Sox and Cubs fan...I will stay this way until the Indians get rid of Mark Shapiro and Eric Wedge...And then they will still have to earn my trust...Before they earn my dollars...
My favorite member of course being New York Ranger great, Brian Leetch...
Every couple of years we get these stories of young kids who are gonna be the next "great one"...The next to put the sport on his shoulders and take it to the next level...Sorry kid you ain't it...Tavares is an average skater...He has good hockey sense, but he's lazy defensively...I don't see him being the next great, and I don't see him as the LeBron James of hockey...
