Monday Moaning (Oh Canada edition)

Well, again Canada showed their dominance in the sport of Hockey, to the entire world...First there was the Canadian women beating the U.S. women in overtime, for the gold medal...

Then in the men's semifinals, the Canadian team shutdown, and dominated an American team that had looked strong the whole tournament...The Americans looked flat most of the game, losing a tight defensive battle, 1-0...

The next day, the U.S.  fell flat again, looking pitiful in a 5-0 loss to Finland...Now, while Goalie Jonathan Quick played great against Canada, and he did play okay against the Finns, I would have started Ryan Miller in that game, just to give Quick the day off after the tough loss...I like Miller more anyways....But it didn't really matter...Quick was left hung out to dry most the game, as most of the Americans were looking flat, or in the case of Patrick Kane, pressing too hard...

So Sunday I had my money on Sweden who rolled through the tourney...But Canada played the same stifling game they put the U.S. through, and beat the Swedes 3-0...Canadian goalie Carey Price was totally out standing throughout the Olympics...

Those Canadians produce good looking goalies...

I wonder how well she can stick handle!?!

There is something unique about Olympic Hockey...I watched a lot of these Olympic games, minus the figure skating...And I got up early or DVR'ed a number of the hockey games...In all other Olympic events, winners of the Silver, and Bronze for the most part, are thrilled...They look genuinely happy when they finish their races, or what not...And they look happy to be getting their not Gold medal...But in Hockey, those Silver medal winners look just miserable...

Odd right, cause look how happy these two losers look standing on the sides of the chick that smoked them....

Is it that hockey players just care more?  Do the athletes in these others sports just have more fun, and are just happy to be there?  What is it?   I mean over time, I'd be happy to have my Silver or Bronze medal hanging on the wall, but that day...Right after some one beat my time, to take first place, I wouldn't bee smiling...I'd look pissed, and upset like the hockey players...

But now the Olympics are over and people can stop dreaming of another 1980 like "Miracle"...Every Olympics the 1980 U.S. Hockey team is brought up, and it brings us such joy...But it's time to knock it off...It will never happen again...Something that magical, and shocking, and thrilling won't happen, because, we have pro hockey players in the Olympics now...There is no dream of a bunch of college kids beating Russia's best...The Cold War is over...Their best play in the NHL, with our best, and Canada's best, and Sweden's best, and the rest of the best...Those moments are gone for good folks...

And for the few folks out there who were saying "Fuck Canada" over the last few days, I saw a great response to that on twitter Sunday morning...

"actually I'm pretty sure Canada fucks you" followed by this pic....

Pretty funny shit there!

Have a week...

The Best Take on Michael Sam Coming Out!

Dallas Sportscaster Dale Hansen summed up the topic of Michael Sam coming out, and the reaction of NFL, fans, players, and front office people perfectly...





Well said sir...Well said!

Monday Moaning

I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day...Mrs. Beeze and I had a good evening...We landed a last minute babysitter, and got some quality adult time...It was great just getting out without the kids...

Then Saturday, I had to get up bright and early...Well, it wasn't bright...I had to get our oldest up and out for her Jazz Honor Band rehearsal...Then I fired up the coffee and relaxed in my chair to enjoy the USA vs. Russia hockey game...If you missed it, you missed a great game...Good goal tending...The U.S. team playing very physical...Non-stop action...3 periods wasn't enough...OT wasn't enough...A 3 round shootout wasn't enough...And each round, of sudden death shootout, coach Dan Bylsma kept sending T.J. Oshie out there...Why not? Oshie was the only American to score in the shootout...In total, he took 6 shootout attempts, and scored on 4...Including this game winner in the 5-hole...

American hockey fans fell in love with Oshie immediately...But he may have won everyone else over with his post-game comments, when he was referred to as a "hero" Oshie said, "The American heroes are wearing camo. That's not me."

This of course gave The Internet the ability to have another way to bash LeBron...

You'll never see me defending LeBron, but shit...It must really suck to be so hated that everyone nit-picks every fucking moment of your idiotic life "King!"

Then some creative guy threw this together...

The U.S. blew past Slovenia 5-1 Sunday and will head to a bye in the Quarterfinals...Resting until Wednesday along with team USA, is Sweden, Canada, and Finland...If the U.S. and Russia square off again, it will be in the Finals...After the way Saturday's game played out, that could one hell of an exciting game...

The NBA had their All-Star bullshit this weekend...I paid no attention...I found watching skiers and snowboarders wiping out on the snow they described as "mashed potatoes" more enjoyable...

And did you see the Skeleton Slider who went airborne, and some how recovered...He didn't win anything, but he showed the world what a cockstrong mother fucker he is...

I guess what I'm saying in this post is, if you've been blowing off the Olympics, you're missing some good shit...Hell, the skiing events are great if for no other reason, then to show the IOC to never put the Winter Olympics in a place where the average February temp is between 50-60 degrees again...

Now, time for a random observation...

Sunday, I was at Church...I'm not a real churchy guy, but kicking into the offertory gets us a discount on tuition...And it's not a bad way to get an hour calmness in my life...And there is the people watching...I'm not going to act like the pillar of morality, but I found it annoying the number of females who walked into church with the words "Pink" or Love Pink" bedazzled on the ass of their pants...It just seems classless, and kind of poor taste for church...But then I saw the winner...A mother, wearing sweat pants that said "Juicy" across her ass...Really?!!?  If you're wearing juicy across your ass when you walk into "the house of God" then what the hell are you wearing on a Friday night out...A shirt that says "Fuck me here" with an arrow towards your crotch...Maybe the back says "Here too" with another arrow going down!

And before any of you try to ask me why am I checking out asses at church, I'll just tell you...I'm a fucking pig!  And some of the bedazzled glare gets in your eye!

That's it for now...

Have a week...

Monday Moaning

Well, here we are again...My old friend and weekend killer Monday is back...And this week I'm letting some shit fly...

First, while I don't care about Basketball at all, when I woke up Sunday morning there was a bunch of talk about Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart shoving a Texas Tech fan...A self proclaimed, "Super fan" named Jeff Orr...Many past players have come out talking about how Orr has been running his mouth for years at opposing players...The problem with the video you are about to see, is it doesn't show what was said while Smart was on the floor, that got him out enough to first step towards Orr...




Smart has said Orr called him a "nigger"...A radio announcer confirmed hearing Smart tell an assistant coach this...Some reports spread like wild fire that Orr said, "Go back to Africa"...Some have "nigger at the end of that statement...

Orr has admitted he may have over-stepped with his mouth, but denies saying "nigger"....Well Mr. Orr, good for you...You talked shit, but didn't say nigger, so it's okay....Then the other douchebag fans patting him on the back and him grinning from ear to ear 'cause drew a technical for his Red Raiders...And while I'm hating on this ass-clown...Look at his wife...Look at the big, mouth, fat-faced, finger pointing gash...She's so fucking hat-able....Hey, I'm opposed to hitting women, so I won't make a joke like, I wouldn't hit a woman, but I'd hit a bitch...So, I'll just say this...If I saw her in person, I'd tap Mrs. Beeze on the shoulder, and tell her, 'Handle that!'

The thing that is really bothering me, all the gas-bags on TV and Radio saying "players should never go after a fan"...Why? Smart's mother is waiting for a liver transplant...His brother died in the last couple years...What if Orr said something about them?  What if Orr did call Smart a "nigger"?  If it happened while walking down the street very few people would have a problem with Smart knocking Orr's lights out...But some where along the line, some asshole decided, 'I paid for my seat, I can do and say whatever the fuck I want!'  And everyone bought into that shit...

Well my friends, HERE is the NCAA Fan Code of Conduct...Based on this, if Orr called Smart a "nigger"...Or said "Go back to Africa"...Or crossed the line at all, his stupid ass should be banned from going to anymore games...And for everyone saying Smart shouldn't have gone after him...FUCK THAT...He's not a paid professional...He's a student Athlete...He's 19...Many of us took a swing at a loudmouth when we were 19...But this kid should be held to a higher standard, and not make mistakes because he plays college Basketball...Fuck that...Marcus, next time knock that fat fuck out!

You think I'm wrong...Go to work tomorrow, and call a black co-worker a nigger...You'll be lucky if they don't knock you out...Oh, and you'll be looking for a new job...So why is okay to act like an asshole at a sporting event?

-Next, Phillip Seymour Hoffman...For a week the media has praised a talented actor, and have pushed the story of what a great talent we lost...And so many people across social media, posting about him, and what a loss it is...

Yes, he was a very talented actor...What else was he? SELFISH...Fuck him...It is time for us in this country to stop crying over losers, who in the end only care about themselves...It is time to stop holding celebrities up so high and lofty, that when they kill themselves, we feel the need to ramble on about what a personal loss it was for us...FUCK THAT...A dickhead won't make movies anymore...Boo-hoo...

This fat, selfish fuck left 3 young kids behind...Why? Because getting high was more important to him...Yes, I know addiction is a brutally hard thing to deal with, but I refuse to let people continue to use it as a crutch their whole life...I drank every day for 5 years...Some days just few, but I drank, every day...I had too...But when my wife found out she was pregnant with our first child, I stopped...I drank 1 time during that 9 months...I got it under control...I don't need to anymore...I don't crave it...If I do drink, it's on my terms, and I know where to cut myself off at...

Booze and Heroin are two different worlds, I get that...But if you have something important in your life, and you are any type of a man, in my eyes, you do what you have to do for that important thing...Hoffman chose to blow off his family, and get high...I can't respect that...I can't respect that kind of man...I can't won't feel bad for him, or that we lost something special, just because he could act...I can only feel bad for his kids, that are left wondering why?

-One last thing...Fuck these fucking Olympics...How does the IOC award the games to this town...Sochi was not a city, it was a town...Then Putin gave contracts to his cronies who pocketed most of the $51 billion and build a half-assed city...A city, with arenas and stadiums, that when it is all over, will sit there on the swamp land they were build on, and slowly waste away...Well, maybe not slowly, based on the jammed bathroom door a U.S. bobsledder had to break through...

Then there is the security threats, yellow water, and tiny beds, and the half finished hotels...And then there is the fact that the average temperature in Sochi in February is 52 degrees...Really!?! No place that has to make 75% of the snow at night when it gets close to freezing, should have the Winter Games...These guys stored snow under tarps in the mountains from last year, just to make sure they had enough...What the fucking, fuck!?!  

Oh, and  that snowflake that didn't open into a ring....

I normally love the Winter Olympics, but I Putin, and his bullshit...And I hate how this time the Olympics seem more about everything that is fucked up, and watching to see what is going to go wrong, as opposed to just watching the sports...

The last week has kind of made me sick, thinking about the world we have become!

Have a week...

The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

How do you spell domination?   SEAHAWKS!  Seattle Seahawks!

All the hype...All the speculation...All the prognostication...And very few people favored the Seahawks...And no one expected to see them totally dominate Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos...But they did...43-8

How do you show your dominance?  Start by winning the coin toss, and giving Manning the ball first...Boom, snap over Manning's head, out of the end zone, Safety!  Give us the ball! No problem moving the ball, field goal...Manning and company couldn't seem to get things on track...Another field goal...Manning INT...Seattle TD...Another Manning INT returned 69 yards for a TD from MVP, Malcom Smith...Shutout 22-0 going into the half....

The second half, Seattle picked up where they left off, with Percy Harvin taking the opening kick back 87 yards for a TD...Mix in a couple Denver fumbles...another TD...Then at the end of the third, the Broncos finally get a TD and 2 pointer...So Seattle drove down and fired in another TD...Then let the defense continue shutting the Broncos offense down...

Now it's easy to shit all over Manning...Him and his big stupid blockhead, in those damn Papa John's commercials...Couple of douchebags they are...But this wasn't just Manning throwing picks and going to choke city again...The whole Broncos team was out-played, and out-coached...I never like Carroll when he was at USC, but he's been able to take his winning ways to the NFL...This team bought into his plan...It didn't matter what Denver did...They were beat in every aspect of the game...

All my life I've been taught defense wins championships...Well, even in a NFL that has done whatever it can to make life easier for QB's and offenses, the Seahawks proved the old theory to still be true...

I loved this game...I mean, I've been all in with The Seahawks since I quit the Browns last year...Plus I hate the Broncos, and I hate the Mannings...Many people were complaining about it being a snoozer on Twitter...Well sure it was, if you were rooting for Denver, or just rooting for a close game...But for me, and all Seattle fans, this game was fucking awesome! My favorite Super Bowl!

But it was fun watching Twitter...The commercials seemed to be a letdown for most people...I know I stopped watching them, so I could check Twitter and Facebook...

here's some tweets I enjoyed...

Dennis Manoloff ‏@dmansworld474      

"Brad Johnson still has as many Super Bowl rings as Peyton Manning."

 

Eric Stangel ‏@EricStangel      

"It's a bad sign when the Pro Bowl is more competitive than the Super Bowl…"

 

The Fake ESPN ‏@TheFakeESPN      

"One Denver Broncos player can change a flat tire by himself. Unless it's a blowout, then the whole team shows up."

 

opie radio ‏@OpieRadio      

 "#SuperBowl #blowout - Fox might want to consider telling Erin Andrews to take a shower to keep people tuned in"

 

 

After the Don Cheadle llama commercial with all kinds of other shit going on...

 

Jim Norton ‏@JimNorton      

"I wish that llama had shit on the elevator"

 

Justin Termine ‏@TermineRadio      

"John Fox should tell Manning this game is meaningless."

 

Tim McNeeley ‏@TheBeeze34      

"Is there enough pot in Denver to forget how fucking awful your team has played!?! #Seahawks"

 

 

After a shot of Michael Douglas stuffing a hot dog in his face...

 

Jenny Johnson ‏@JennyJohnsonHi5

"Hey Michael Douglas. Hot dogs are more unhealthy than pussy :("

 

 

And postgame...

 

Betsy Kling - WKYC ‏@BetsyKling      

"SideNote: #SuperBowl champ QB Wilson went in the 3rd round of draft in 2012. In that same draft, the #Browns chose Brandon Weeden in 1st."

 

 

But after all this Super Bowl talk, and Seattle love, I may have to quit the NFL after reading THIS article this Sunday morning...

 

That's it folks...Way to make me look good Seahawks...

 

Have a week...
