Monday Moaning

I have to be honest with you, each week, it becomes harder and harder for me to not become a Buffalo Bills fan...If for no other reason then their fans, known as the #BillsMafia....They lived up to their reputation again this Sunday...

Warning: NSFW!

How can you not love the #BillsMafia!?! they know how to party pic.twitter.com/BGpd3hCrLB"

That's some quality Tailgating!

The Bills also managed to beat the Texans, so there was winning all around in Buffalo...


-Now, I'm moving right along to my crusade to promote the fighting in the NHL, because douchebags like Mathew Barnaby and Mike Milbury annoy me so much for talking about getting rid of fighting in Hockey...Milbury who climbed in the stands and hit fan with a shoe, and Barnaby who never would have been in the NHL if he didn't scrap....Assholes!

I felt there were three really solid fights this past week...


1. McLeod and Glass...






2. Chipchura and Smith...






3. Latta and Trouba...







Bonus:  The big, crushing left, from the little guy, Jordan Tootoo...






- Now I will get to the final topic for this edition of Monday Moaning...The Bowl selection happened...And the Fiesta Bowl selected Notre Dame and Ohio State...The line has opened with Ohio State being a 5 point favorite...

I'll take it...The Irish plus 5...Ohio State has covered the spread just twice this season, on a really weak schedule...And I'm not even going to rag on the schedule, because anymore, it's a crap shoot, and the schedules are made a few years out...The Irish had softies too...But at least neither Charleston Southern on their schedule, right Alabama!?!  (twats!)

I saw some friends on Facebook already talking trash, like this is a damn cakewalk for Ohio State...Jesus fucking Christ, they struggled with Northern Illinois, Indiana, and Minnesota...Even in the games where they blew teams out they sucked balls for a quarter or two...Ohio State didn't play a complete until Michigan...

Yes, Notre Dame had a couple clunkers...Their defense saved them against BC, when the offense took that night off...Then the defense shit the bed against Stanford...

I expect this to be a good game...I expect a few sloppy moments, because shit, both of these teams had plenty of those this season, that's why they aren't in the playoffs...And yes, Buckeye Nation, I saw you pissing and moaning on Twitter Saturday night and early Sunday morning, how the playoffs should be eight teams and not four....Funny how you didn't feel that way last year...Knuckle up!

Anyways....I have to take a trip into Ohio soon, and make some bets with my friends there on this one...I'm looking forward to New Year's Day now!


That's if for now...More to come...

Have a week...

"Everything is Bigger in Texas..."

Does that include the assholes?

Okay, to be fair, I'm northern boy, and it seems easy to talk shit about Texas at times...Been then again, I was born in raised in Cleveland, Ohio...A place that has been shit on religiously since before I was born...So I feel I'm allowed to fire my own wise-cracks at people around the world, including assholes in Texas...

And while I'm about to single out the Texas Longhorns Football team, both schools in this game are in Texas...

So Baylor's 4th string QB throws an interception...His teammates don't get the guy...He does, right at the sideline...Now it looks like he Texas player's one foot was hitting the sideline right as Hawthorne, (the QB) got there...But watch the video, there is no whistle...Hawthorne continues to battle the Texas defender and is starting to throw him to the ground as the whistle blows...(blown before he is down...That whole progress was stopped crap)...






The QB played it right...He played it hard, and he played through the whistle...And what happened...the Texas bench, a 5-7 team, acted like a bunch of cunts...Shoving him, 18 is no actor, he intentionally fell on top of Hawthorne...They started a bunch of shit, for no good goddamn reason...

People keep talking about Charlie Strong changing the culture at Texas, including myself...Doesn't look like it's working....They're record sucks, and they're acting like punk-ass cunts...

With this one play, I lost all hope for the culture changing at Texas, and for whatever the hell Strong is doing!

Sliced!

It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's scary as hell...And that's just me speaking as a viewer....How the hell did Vitaly Sitnikov feel when he was bleeding from the Throat!?!

In a KHL game, Sitnikov's neck caught a skate from a falling Ladislav Nagy, and here's how it went down...






Sitnikov is okay...He needed some stitches, but nothing major got cut...Unlike the first time I saw something like this happen...

Yep, Clint Malarchuk...






Malarchuk had his jugular sliced...It was so severe that if it was another period, if he was at the opposite end of the ice, he would have most likely died...The trainer literally had his fingers in there pinching it off as mush as possible while they got Malarchuk to a stretcher...


A smart man, the next day was buying stock in Vaughn and Brown and Itech neck protectors...

If you have time...Checkout the ESPN short 30 for 30 they did on Malarchuk...He recovered, and played again....But like Herb Score taking a line drive to the eye, he was never the same again...

A video posted by Rosie Jones 😼 (@1rosiejones) on Nov 21, 2015 at 6:13am PST

Well, after a crazy holiday weekend, what better way to start then with Rosie Jones doing a little wiggling!

 Obliviously, Turkey day I cooked my ass off...Through that evening, a cold started creeping it's way through the house...Nothing bad, just some stuffiness that eventually got to all of us...Friday I enjoyed some hockey and football...Oh, and leftovers...Leftovers for lunch and dinner...

Saturday was a lazy, rainy day...Leftovers and a bit of college football...Sunday there was chill in the air, but it was nice outside...So, it was time for Molls and I to do the outside lights...The oldest has her birthday coming this week, and refuses to partake in any Christmas horseshit until after that...The boy was doing his thing...But Molls was fired up to do some lights...So we did it...4 bushes lit...Wrapped the post with red, white, and green lights, like a candy cane...My parents old Frosty the Snowman, and some other little touches...Yay Christmas...Fuck we haven't even started shopping, and the wife has to go to Texas for a few days this week for work...Yuck!

-So, the kids have an extra day off for the Thanksgiving weekend...Yes they have this fine Monday off...Why? Hunting Season Starts!  Listen, I knew before I moved to Erie that hunting was a big thing here...And while walking the dog, I've noticed a lot of pick'em up trucks and camo...But shit, and extra day off school! Maybe it's just because I'm from Cleveland...I mean people in Cleveland hunt too...But normally they wear black hoodies and drive an old Pontiac!

(Oh my God, racially insensitive joke about all shooting sin Cleveland! Totally want to use that at an open mic night here!)


-I recently posted THIS blog about the NHL trying to increase scoring, and screwing with goalies...Well, Friday the dolts on NHL Radio were searching desperately for a topic, so they were talking about ideas to increase scoring again...The big idea they spent a bunch of time on was, switching the game to 4 on 4 skaters...

FUCK YOU!

Why do these dolts not get it...Why can't they watch a game that has great goal-tending and great defense and enjoy it...The Rangers and Bruins battled Friday afternoon...Lots of tough defense...Lots of physical play...Quality scoring chances...Hard-nosed, grinding play...Two goalies playing well...And it wasn't some nightmare 8-6 game...Those games suck!

If you go to 4 on 4, you will lose the physical aspect of the game...You lose that, and you will lose a whole lot of the core fans....Oh, and then there is the matter of the players union telling you to fuck off...If you go to 4 on 4, you'll be cutting players jobs...That's going to be a really big stumbling block to get past...

How about this...Hockey's great...Are there people that don't get it? yes...Fuck'em! Leave it alone!


- Enough with the nonsense...Lets get into the part where I promote fighting in Hockey...Yeah, last week wasn't a one time thing...That's how much your bullshit pissed me off Matthew Barnaby...

Best fight of the week...Brandon Bollig and Chris Stewart...






Now, for an up and comer...This is a kid Rangers fans like myself have been waiting to see get a full-time shot...Dylan McIlrath...Kid throws hammers!






Hit by Belesky was a bit late...The ass whipping was justified...STepan is out indefinately with some broken ribs...


Here is McIlrath the next day taking it to a cock-sucking Flyer!





Leveled Schultz...Then gave Schenn a beating...Love this kid!



That's it for now...

Have a week!

Notre Dame's Season Comes to an End

With that kick, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish season ended....Yes, they'll go and play in a bowl game...And a good one at that...But the season they wanted...The season us fans wanted...It's over...Two losses, no playoffs...

Now, I have to give them credit for putting together a helluva season considering the number of key injuries they suffered...That said, the Irish spent all pre-season tooting their horn about what great depth they had coming into this season...So, no excuses allowed when it comes to the injuries...

There was something else the Irish and the media were hyping in the pre-season, and much of the season...The Notre Dame defense, and their defensive coordinator, Brian Vangorder...Holy fuck I got annoyed at watching this guy during games, and on Showtime's "A Season with Notre Dame"...The announcers on TV were constantly hyping this ass-hat up...I'm sorry, watching the Stanford game, ND didn't deserve to win...Not the way the defense was giving up yards and points...Let alone the fact that ND took the lead with 30 seconds left in the game, and still managed to lose....That was ridiculous!

All season long, even when the Irish defense was dominating a game, they would still give up a couple embarrassing TD's...The Boston College game is the only game that I would give the defense credit....That game the offense sucked balls, and the D kept them in it...

Again, ND had some injuries that would cripple teams...But the told us they had depth, and they proved it...What they didn't have was the cock-strong defense they said they had...This is the 4th season in Brian Kelly's 6 seasons at Notre Dame, that the media and ND have hyped the defense...Do us a favor...Don't hype the defense next year...That way, if they end up being good, we'll all be happily surprised...And if they suck, or play they way they have been, then we won't be letdown...

Good season...I was impressed with the young QB, Kizer...Will Fuller is a beast, but drops too many passes...Chris Brown is good, but drops too many passes...CJ Prosise is a RB not a WR, that was proven clearly...Good season...But not good enough....

Thanks

It is Thanksgiving and I thought I would sit down and take a moment to reflect on just how lucky I am...I have much to be thankful for...

-Great friends, near and far...

-Wonderful friends who have helped us with our move and this major transition in our lives...

-Wonderful family...I'm am very thankful for how my wife's family has excepted me over the years...Since day one they have made me feel like one of the gang...My side, well, other than my parents and brothers I have distanced myself from the extended family...Far too much drama and stupidity to deal with...

My Parents, who excepted our moving, and understood why we were doing it, and supported us the best they could, even though we were doing it at the worst time for them...

-My amazing wife...I still wonder what the hell she ever saw in me..."I'm hard to follow, even harder to swallow, and impossible to hold."
She is pretty, smart, kind, loving, and incredible...She is a much better person then me, and always reminds me that I can be better...But she can't cook, so maybe that's why she keeps me around!

-My oldest daughter...Smart, sweet, honest, loyal, thoughtful, caring, mother-hen...She has a truly pure soul...I have told her before, but I don't think she has gotten yet...She can do anything in this world...She gives me a flicker of hope for future generations...

-My son...Amazing artist...He has more artistic ability in on finger then everyone on this block combined...drawing, clay, whatever...He just started doing it one day, and was great at it...He has incredible vision, with is eyes, but more so with his mind...He can spot a subliminal message in ad you put in front of he...He sweet and sensitive, and compassionate and slightly naive...I fear it will work against, but I don't want him to totally lose it either...

-My youngest daughter...#3...The one that changed everything...She flipped our world upside down and I'm so thankful for it...Every day, no matter how bad things may be going, she will make me laugh...She will bring complete joy over me with the littlest, silliest thing...

-Our wonderful home...Yes, I'd be thankful just for having a home...But I am very thankful for the deal we were able to workout to get this home...I am thankful for this house, that seems to fit us like a glove...Whenever I moved in my life, I needed an adjustment period, to get use to things...To feel comfortable...To feel like I belonged...In this house, I felt like I belonged day one...I think we all did...This house feels like home...

-Lastly, I mentioned my parents earlier...I am what I am mostly because of them...I am thankful for that...And I am so thankful for my mother's toughness, and courage, and health...In May doctors were talking about Stage 4 Cancer, quality of life, and trying to get her an extra year...After 24 weeks of Chemo, her scans are clear...Shocking us and shocking the hell out of the doctor...Now she is fighting to get her strength back, and to get back to herself....I am so thankful for her health, and for her example...

I apologize if this too damn sappy...I'll get back to being an asshole in my next post...For now, chop that birds head off, and get him in the oven sugar-tits!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Monday Moaning

Well, Saturday the Ohio State Buckeyes looked like asses...It wasn't just that they lost to Michigan State...Which by the way, Ronda feels for ya...

To me, the biggest thing is all year, they have wasted their best player, Zeke Elliott...You know, the guy that carried them through the end of last season, and the playoffs...And Saturday, after getting only two carries in the second half, he made his thoughts and feelings known...

"How we lost, I just feel like we weren't put in the right opportunity to win this game, we weren't put in the right situations to win this game. I don't think Michigan State was better than us. They weren't. We didn't execute."


Elliott continued....

"Honestly, this is my last game in the Shoe. I mean, there's no chance of me coming back next year."

"What happened today, it was kind of like a bad, bad dream. Offense had a rough day, and I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed in the play calling, I'm disappointed in the situations we were put in, and I wish it all played out differently."

Elliott wasn't done yet...

"It's very disappointing, the one drive that we had where we kind of had some momentum when we scored after the strip sack, the plays we ran, we ran a lot of gap schemes and we were gashing them. You guys saw that on that drive, and we had a lot of momentum. Honestly, we didn't see those plays at all for the rest of the game. Those plays weren't called anymore. I asked for those plays to be called, and they weren't. It just hurts. It hurts a lot."

Shit is real tense in Columbus...Sure, it wouldn't be as tense if they managed to win, but considering how the Buckeyes haven't been blowing the doors off people they should have all year, it's clear that there has been trouble in Paradise...In my opinion, it never helps when you do that idiotic QB juggling crap...When you say, "we have two starting QB's," what you're really saying is, you don't have a starting QB...

I'd say I feel bad for ya...But we all know that would be bullshit, right?

Thanks to Ohio State, my Fighting Irish's position was helped...Which they needed since they couldn't hold onto the football all night in Fenway park...Dropped passes out the ass...Fumble after fumble...A couple INT's...The Irish defense is the only reason they got out alive...I first wrote that they didn't deserve the win...But the D did...The offense needs to run 100 laps cradling a football....

- How about Hockey...The New York Islanders moved to Brooklyn, and many thought it would be a great move...But so far, the ticket sales haven't gone as well as hoped...Plus, the arena isn't ideal for hockey viewing...The Nightly Show did a funny bit to try and help the Islanders reach real people from Brooklyn...

And while I'm here promoting hockey...I'm going to promote fighting...Why? Because 1. I like it...but more importantly 2. Because Matthew Barnaby is a fucking asshole...I'm listening to this guy on his Sirius XM, NHL Radio show, and he is yapping about how fighting needs to go away in hockey...And he sees it being gone relatively soon...Just to be clear folks, for those of you who may not know this...If it wasn't for fighting, Matthew Barnaby would have never had an NHL career...The guy was a garbage player, who talked shit, checked, threw elbows, and fought...Fucking cock-smoker...Oh, he has also hit women in his past too...Piece of shit!

So, I picked out two fights from this weekend that I enjoyed...I hope you do as well...






Oleksiak, just throwing fucking hammers!








Pretty good go by both guys...


That's it for now...Go watch a hockey fight and tell Matthew Barnaby to eat a dick!

Season Over for Kaepernick...

Today, 49ers QB, Colin Kaepernick's season ended...

Kaepernick, was listed on the injury report Friday as Probable,  told the 49ers that he wanted to have surgery on his non-throwing shoulder...The team put him on IR, a "source" told "ESPN NFL Insider" Adam Schefter....

 Undrafted rookie quarterback Dylan Thompson was promoted from San Francisco's practice squad to replace Kaepernick on the roster.

In last-place (3-6), the 49ers were on a bye last week and had benched Kaepernick for their Nov. 8 game...Blaine Gabbert, got the start and helped lead the team to an upset of the Atlanta Falcons...

The question now that Kaepernick's season with the 49ers has ended will be...Is this just the first step in San Francisco cutting ties completely with the disappointing Kaepernick?

North Dakota has a New Nickname

No, that isn't the official new logo, but considering the new nickname is the "Fighting Hawks," that would be a great logo to piss off all those that killed the Fighting Sioux nickname...

Here are the former Fighting Sioux logos...

Like I said, that Indian warrior looking hawk would be sweet!  And yes, I said Indian, because being politically correct is for all those college cunts out there, not me!

After two years the best they could come up with is "Fighting Hawks"...I'm sorry, but that shit is lame...But if they get a cool logo maybe it will work well if they try to incorporate some Native American style into it, to match somewhat with the Sioux logos still present...(yes I said Native American...Not for the cunts...It just read better)...

The Fighting Sioux logos throughout The Ralph Engelstad Arena, where the Division I hockey teams play, will remain as part of an agreement with the NCAA....Part of that being because Engelstad was so against the name changing, that when he had the arena built, he had Sioux logo all over that fucking place...In stone, in tile, in marble, large portions of floors and walls...Everywhere...He was all about sticking it to the PC police...That's why the change didn't happen until years after he died...

And while I don't love this nickname...I like it more then the other 4 finalists for the new nickname...

Nodaks, North Stars, Roughriders, and Sundogs......

Nodaks...No Thanks!   Let's go with Fighting Hawks!

Boston College...A Joke in Their Own City

Yes, that is a football field in historic Fenway Park...And it sure looks like a home field for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish...

The Irish will be playing long time rival, Boston College at Fenway Park...This year the game was thrown under the "Shamrock Series" label, which is something the Irish have done for the last five years...It's supposedly a big thing for alumni around the country, but I think it has more to do with recruiting....They play at a neutral site, and wear a completely different uniform from the traditional ND style...

This year, it isn't a neutral site...It's in Boston...But for some reason, the field sure looks like a ND home field...And the Irish special uniforms...They have been dubbed "the Green Monster uniforms"....

"Green Monster" uniforms...The Notre Dame Fighting Irish written in the end-zones...Hey Boston College, did you also say, 'Hey Notre Dame, could you please fuck all of our girlfriends and sisters while you're making yourself at home!?!'

I get it...It's good for fans...It's good for Alumni...It's good for recruiting...It's good for the city of Boston, especially hotels and bars...People will actually pay attention to Boston College football for a few minutes...It's great...But it sure makes BC look like bitches!

The NHL's War on Goalies

Since the late 1990's the NHL has constantly been doing things to increase scoring...They have made rule changes to try and hinder defense...They have continued to look at goalies and find things to change about the position...They basically punished goalies for being good puck-handlers, and took away their right to play the puck outside of the crease....(except for that stupid little trapezoid)...They have scaled down the size of goaltender's equipment, which I had no problem with because at a point, the pads were huge...But to be fair, goalie pads did have to improve and increase in size to a degree...

Technology has continued to change the game...The equipment has changed so much since I was a kid...All these new, lightweight, super torque sticks are insane...Christ, I still have wood sticks!   So players are bigger, stronger, and faster, with high-tech equipment...Goalies and their equipment needed to follow those advances with their own...Not just to compete, but for safety as well...

Of late, NHL talking heads all over TV and Sirius XM NHL Network Radio, GM's and owners, and the NHL brass are making another big push to increase scoring...They say they are seriously considering shrinking the pad size for goalies...I don't think most goalies will have an issue with that, as long as it;s proven that they will be safe with the smaller sizes...Many are talking about increase the size of the goal...I have a problem with that...Increasing the size of the goal could drastically impact the record books...All the sudden Connor McDavid is going to have all this extra space to squeeze pucks in, and to hell with the History that Gretzky, Howe, Messier, Dionne, Esposito, Selanne, Jagr, Yzerman, Hull, Bucyk, Lafleur, Orr and the others greats built...

If you increase the size of the goal, every goal scored from that point on gets an asterisk next to it...

Then they were talking about switching the game completely and going to 4 on 4 or possibly 3 on 3 full-time...What the fuck!?!  First of all the 3 on 3 overtime sucks...It's bullshit...It's a totally different game then what got the two teams to that tie...Fucking garbage...And the goalies get hung out to dry, so how is it any better then a fucking shootout!?!

What all these dip-shits don't think about is that goalies are constantly working on their game...They follow the changes in the game and adjust their game...They use technology to study shooters...To study angles and positioning...Goalies today play a more disciplined, positional style, instead of being reactionary and working just of instincts...

Could all this dolts trying to screw with goalies to increase scoring, realize that right now, the NHL has some great, amazing goaltenders...If you look at the NHL, and say the top 10 players right now...The elite...2 are goalies...at least 4 in the top 20...

How about this...Instead of fucking with goalies...Get on the skaters case...Tell them to work as hard in the off-season as Carey Price and Henrik Lundqvist do...Hell, I'd like to hear a goalie step up and say...'Hey, you want more scoring, get better...Get the puck past me!'

I get it...The NHL brass is lazy...They want to promote scoring to the non-fans and the youth, to try and grow the game...Try promoting the great defense and great goalies...Goalies that will single handedly carry their team to a victory on any given night...Let alone how they carry their team during the playoffs when offensive numbers always drop drastically...

Quit fucking with the goalies...

Unless they look like this!

Monday Moaning

Well, we may as well address the elephant in the room...What happened in France makes so much of our everyday life seem so very pointless...I really don't want to go into a big political tirade, but it seems hard not to...Many people (U.S. citizens and from many other countries as well) are calling for the U.S. to jump in and kick ass...That's always been a macho mentality much of this country has...And I have often felt that same feeling...But I would like the non-U.S. citizens to take a look at themselves...Especially those in the Middle East...Especially those "moderate" and "liberal" Muslims we often hear about when Extremists pull shit like this....We always hear, "not all Muslims are terrorists"..."Not all people of Islamic faith believe in killing innocent people"...I'm asking...Fuck that....I'm telling...You really want us to believe that horse shit, step the fuck up and fix your religion's problems...Fix your region's problems...Otherwise, you're all just full of shit, and silently believe in what these fucks are doing...Or you're a fucking coward...Either way I have no use for you...

Now some cunt, on some United States college campus is going to call me Islamophobic...Yeah, so!  I have been given no fucking reason on this Earth not to be...And I'm a pretty liberal fucking guy...Call me what you want, but I'm fucking right, and you're fucking wrong, you PC-College twats...

Yeah, I'm rolling right into that topic...Last week, the news was full of cry-baby college students who felt the President of a University's 1st priority should be cracking the whip on any random fuck-stick yelling random, not nice shit at people on campus....Grow the fuck up!  This is what happens when youth sports don't keep score and "everyone is a winner"....They all come out a bunch of pussies...After Missouri got their President to resign, other schools had students protesting their president for trumped up charges that weren't backed up by shit...

Listen you fuck-tards in Ithaca, and everywhere else, you visited the school...You made the choice to go there...You or more likely, daddy & mommy pay for you to go there, because that's what you wanted...Now all the sudden it's a horrible mean place, and you deserve to go there for free and never be offended....FUCK YOU and DIE!  Again I say, grow the fuck up!

Do you know what my college experience was like?  I worked a full-time job, and a part-time job, and managed to graduate in 5 years...I paid every cent on my own...My dad bought my books for one semester...That's it...Every other cent I paid...I owe no one shit...If college is so fucking mean, and hard, quit...Go get out in the work force and see what a fucking joy that is...Fucking cry-baby cunts!

And McDonalds workers....You fuckers want $15 per hour minimum wage...That should be the minimum wage for real restaurant workers...People who actually cook...People who actually learn about food....People who learn about wine and liquor and how give you a great dinning experience...You want $15 per hour to drop fries and push a button on a microwave...Eat my ass!  Try not fucking up my kids' order just one mother fucking time, and maybe we'll consider $11...Unfucking real how entitled people have become in this country...

....

....

Wow....That all just kind of fell out...

Hey, who wants to talk about sports?

That over-hyped, mouthy Ronda Rousey chick got knocked the fuck out Saturday night...I watched it via the Periscope app...Thank you to the dolts that waste their money ordering pay-per-view, and are so kind to pull out there phone and stream it for the rest of us...

Rousey looked like crap...Right out the gate she seemed totally off...Honestly, she looked slightly retarded....She didn't fight her normal fight, and that big blonde chick had her number...What a great boot to the jaw!

Listen, I don't even pay attention to the UFC...I assume it's like boxing, and at least half the shit is fixed...I assume this was fixed, just to setup a bigger payday for the rematch, followed by maybe a third...And the UFC often has a bit of stink on it that reminds me of the WWE...So much seems so scripted...But seeing Ronda getting dropped was nice, just because her yap, and the hype machine behind her...Nighty night Ronda...

...

Other wise, I didn't pay much attention to sports...Just didn't really give a damn...Saturday the boy and i had some quality time, as we went to the ARt Museum, and then lunch...Saturday night the wife and I saw Jim Norton at the comedy club...He crushed it...And he shredded an older bitch that was sitting right up front, who was being loud as fuck...Talking loudly about her burger while he was doing his set...then about water she spilled...So, Jim Norton took about 10 minutes of his set to discuss what an annoying shithead she was...The place was roaring!

In Case You Missed It.....

No, I am not on the Garbage Time with Katie Nolan payroll...I wish I was....But as long as Katie Nolan is going to be blasting Greg Hardy and the Dallas Cowboys, along with taking the mainstream sports and news media to task, I will continue to share bits of what she is doing...It's great to have a refreshing voice in the media, calling people on their bullshit....

So, in case you missed Wednesday's show, I have picked a couple clips to share...First: Hardy...






Seriously?  When is this dummy going to learn?   More importantly, when are the Cowboys management and PR department going to shut this dolt up?


Second: The media, Especially that fucking blowhard, Peter King...






Wow...That stings a bit doesn't Peter?  You got exposed as the gasbag so many of us assumed you were...Piece of shit!

Keep kicking their asses Katie!

JT Barrett Gets Off Easy

Ohio State QB, JT Barrett plead guilty to Operating a Vehicle under the Influence...The 20 year old Barrett was arrested on October 31st near the Ohio State campus, at a police checkpoint...Reports say his B.A.C. was a 0.099, substantially over the .02 limit for those under 21...

Barrett made a plea deal, plead guilty to the OVI charge, and a backing without safety charge was dismissed...Barrett will serve no time, have his license suspended for 180 days, and with fines and court costs, he will pay approximately $500...

While in court Barrett expressed his remorse to the judge saying, "I just wanted to apologize to my family for this embarrassment and also to the Ohio State football program and also Buckeye Nation.  I never wanted to hurt Ohio State for what it's done for me as a player and also as a person and I'm truly sorry for that."

I'm glad he's apologetic...Way to fucking go...Everyone is apologetic when they get caught...Hopefully he learned from this...But he got off easy...Way too much we here about "class" differences in this country, and how certain "classes" are treated differently....Well folks, here is a prime example...If JT Barrett was a start football player at Ohio State...If he wasn't the better of the two QB's, he wouldn't have gotten a slap on the wrist...

Ask "Average Joe" what he would have gotten...Especially considering the fact of being under the legal drinking age...A non-Ohio State football star would have lost their license for 2 years...1 minimum..."Average Joe" would have $2000-$3000 in fines...And "Average Joe" would need a good attorney to keep his ass out of jail, and get him off with 100 hours of community service, and 10 MADD meetings...

So there's the life lesson kids...Learn to throw a football...Run fast...Or be a big-time actor...Then you'll be in the class that can screw up often, and get at least 5 "second chances!"

Flint Firebirds are a Cluster-Fuck

Last night the Flint Firebirds were losing 3-1 to the Oshawa Generals in a OHL matchup...The Firebirds came back, and won the game 4-3 in overtime...

Immediately after the game, owner Rolf Nilson fired the head coach, John Gruden and the entire coaching staff...WTF!?! right...The speculation, that has been reported by a multiple reporters, and confirmed by a couple is, Nilson was unhappy about the amount of ice-time his son, Hankon Nilson, was getting...

When the players found out what was going on, the entire team, including the owners son Hankon, went to the owner's office, said "fuck this," threw their jerseys on the floor and quit....

Hey Rolf Nilson, when you own the team, and your son quits along with the entire team, because of how you're running things, YOU ARE A BAD SPORTS PARENT!

It was tweeted by the CHLPA, that they have arranged for Pro Bono Legal Cousel for all Flint players, parents and staff...Following this coming out, Rolf Nilson has called for a meeting with this the coaching staff...

Flint's next scheduled game is Friday against Sarnia...It will be interesting to see if anything is resolved by then...

Monday Moaning

Full disclosure to start this Monday's post...The pic, has nothing to do with any of it...Just doing my best to catch eyes, and get those page-views from our pervert demographic...

Also, in the world of sports, I got nothing for ya...I did 7 sports blogs last week Monday through Thursday...After that, the weekend was all about family...

My wife's sisters, and some cousins, and Uncle and Aunt, and niece and nephews came into town Friday...Somehow, Friday morning we managed to get our PA licenses, so we could complete the process of buying a new car...

Then it was an evening out with all the family, including my in-laws...Saturday, I spent prepping and cooking food, as we were having everyone at our house for a party...The kids had fun, the adults ate and drank, and caught up more...It was all great...It was a lot of fun...And I was really happy to see how my father-in-law handled it all...His dementia has kicked his ass...But he was happy being around everyone...Even if the memories were fuzzy or even gone, you could see he knew he belonged...And our dog Finnegan spent a lot of time with him...He loves dogs...He was happy as a pig in shit feeding the dog treats, and just sitting there petting him...The mutt was pretty happy too...When I git back from taking my in-laws home, Finnegan was sitting, curled up in my father-in-laws chair...Holy shit this post has gotten sappy as fuck already, but screw it...It was cute and wonderful...

I tried to catch up on some college football highlights, but didn't last long as I passed out on the couch...

Sunday started with me finishing up cleaning up from Saturday...Most of it was done, but my OCD had me straightening things up...Our guests were wonderful and helpful, but I'm slightly nuts about where things (in the kitchen and pantry) get put away...The wife took the kids swimming at the hotel her sister and nephew were at...Then, along with their parents and brother we all met for lunch before her sister left town....

The afternoon was lazy...We didn't do shit...Then we took the kids to a special screening of "Home Alone" on the big screen...The movie theater is doing Sunday screenings of old movies through December...And at first you'd think "Home Alone" wasn't old, but this year is it's 25th anniversary...The kids love the movie, and it has become a Christmas classic...They were excited to see it in the theater...

It was a great family weekend...It was great spending time with some great people, who we don't see enough...My wife's uncle said, he thinks these get-togethers will "happen more since we moved to here," and that we're "keeping some roots here"...I didn't think about it at first, but after everyone left I asked my wife, "How you feel being the roots?"  Erie was the launching pad for whole family...That comment made us feel even better about our decision to move here...

But as great as this weekend was, nothing was better then the phone call I got Friday morning...My Mom called...The hardest part of the move was moving away from my folks, especially since she has been going through Chemo...After 24 weeks of Chemo to treat Stage 4 Cancer, she was told to ring the bell...Her scans were all clear...No tumors anywhere...The doctor who had started this process talking about quality of life and trying to buy her a year or two, was blown away...

Because it's Stage 4 they will continue to keep a close eye on her, and are talking about some preventative treatment, but she sounded good...the best she has since April...She is planning on getting into some exercise group at the Y, for people recovering from Cancer...She was talking about getting stronger and being able to see the kids...12 weeks ago she was talking about being dead within a year and now her scans are all clear and she wants to get back to her old self...

So yeah, it was a great family weekend, and I can honestly say, I gave zero fucks about sports...

Have a week...

The Beeze's College Football Pick'em (week 10)

Last week I didn't post a Pick'em...There were only 2-3 games I liked, and didn't even like them that much...One of the things I learned about gambling from my father was, don't bet just to bet...If you aren't feeling it...Don't do it...So I didn't...But this week, I'm feeling it...So here we go...


- Texas Tech at West Virginia...

This series is tied at two games each, so we don't have much history to work with...What we do have is this is a Big 12 game...Almost all of the Big 12 lacks defense...And we know Tech loves to chuck it, and try to score points...West Virginia is a 8 point favorite...Take the Red Raiders plus the 8 points...



- Duke at North Carolina...

UNC has won 22 of the last 25...But I am still surprised to see Duke as a 7.5 point underdog...Coming off getting royally screwed by the refs in that Miami game, I like Duke...Think about this...If Duke wins out, and then wins the conference championship, the playoff committee kind of has to ignore that Miami loss, since the ACC admitted Duke should have won...Duke is angry...Duke is on a mission...Take Duke plus the 7.5 points...

- Notre Dame at Pittsburgh...

Since 1988 the Irish lead this series 15-5...ND knows they need to win out, and will need help to get into the playoff conversation...And Pittsburgh, isn't that good...Take the Irish minus the 8.5 points...




- Florida State at Clemson...

Florida State has lost 5 of their last 6 at Clemson...This game is huge for both teams...But Clemson needs it...The only way the will get the respect they deserve from the playoff committee is if they are undefeated...The Tigers are a 10.5 point favorite...Normally, against a solid FSU team, I would go with the Seminoles getting that many points...But I'm looking for Clemson to make a statement...A bigger statement then what they made against Notre Dame...I'm taking the risk...I'm taking Clemson minus the 10.5....

-  Arizona State at Washington State...

Washington State is a 3 point favorite...WSU being a favorite is odd...This is strictly giving the home team the bump...ASU is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings...I see the SUn Devils making that 11-1...Take ASU plus the 3 points...

- LSU at Alabama...

Alabama have won the last 4 in this series...But this Alabama team isn't as good as those teams...I think they are overrated...LSU running back Leonard Fournette is out to prove something, and is looking at this game to be the key to his Heisman run...I don't even have to think about this...I'm taking the Tigers plus the 6.5 points...



- Bonus pick...


-Navy at Memphis....

Navy is a 7.5 point underdog...With the way they play, I would like to take those points...But this is Memphis...How powered offense, and a team not getting the respect they deserve...Take Memphis minus the 7.5 points...

Good luck....Beat the bookie!

Patrick Kane Won't be Charged for Rape

Erie County District Attorney, Frank A. Sedita announced this morning that he will not be bringing charges against Chicago Blackhawks star, Patrick Kane...Here are the key reason's Sedita pointed to, for why he won't be filing charges...

— There are significant material inconsistencies between the complainant’s accounts and those of other witnesses.

— The DNA results lend no corroboration whatsoever to the complainant’s claim of penetration, a required element of proof for a rape charge.

— The physical evidence and the forensic evidence, when viewed in tandem, tend to contradict the complainant’s claim that she was raped on Kane’s bed.

— Although Kane has exercised his constitutional right to remain silent (which prohibits questioning by law enforcement), he has made no known incriminating statements to any civilian, nor has he engaged in any conduct consistent with a consciousness of guilt.

Also, earlier this week, Kane's accuser signed a “Non-Prosecution Affidavit” signifying that she is no longer willing to continue with a criminal prosecution...

Through this whole investigation I have stood my ground that Kane's accuser was full of shit, at least on some level...When news broke that her rape kit showed no DNA from Kane below the waist, but jizz from two other men, I was 99% confident she was full of shit...When her mother tried to commit fraud with that whole bullshit evidence bag story, and Sedita debunked it all, I was 100% sure this chick was a liar...

For the record, while my view has been "pro-Kane," we at You Gab Sports did reach out to her and her father, offering an interview, to get their side out there...Clearly they turned us down....But the offer is still open.

Zack Greinke Becomes a Free Agent

Right-handed pitcher, and 3-time ALL-Star,  Zack Grienke (32) opted out of the last three years of his contract with the LA Dodgers, to become a free agent...By opting out, Grienke left $71 million of guaranteed money on the table...

This past season Greinke had a 19-3 record and a MLB best ERA of 1.66...He registered 200 strike outs in 222.2 innings...

Yes, Greinke is going to get some crazy offers...He's going to make a ton of money, on top of the tons he's already made...I'm just blown away seeing a guy walk away from another $71 million guaranteed...

As of now there are 151 MLB free agents...Can't wait to see the absurd amounts of money flying around...

What Does Pain Look Like?

This...The face of pain looks like this...

Last night, Boston Bruins forward, Chris Kelly suffered a broken femur on a freak play that involved no real contact...






That could very well be the most painful non-contact injury I have seen...

It's brutal blow to the Bruins lineup....The gritty, all-purpose Kelly, who is about to turn 35, will be out  6-8 months...But, at 35 this may very well end up being a career ending injury.

Connor McDavid Out Long-term

The Edmonton Oilers and the NHL got some bad news...Superstar rookie, Connor McDavid will be out, "Long-term" with an "apparent upper body injury"...That's what was being said late last night....

The injury occured as McDavid was driving towards the goal and was run into the boards...



Official word of what the injury is, will be disclosed later today, but all speculation and rumblings have it being a broken collarbone and that McDavid will be put on the Long-Term IR...

How long that term will be is unknown...He's young, healthy and strong...He'll recover quickly...But the Oilers may also take their time and not rush the rookie phenom back...

Like I said, this is bad news for the Oilers...Bad it's bad for the NHL too...Through 13 games McDavid had logged 5 goals and 7 assists...The NHL and it's TV partners were looking forward to two McDavid vs. Crosby match-ups this month, the first being Friday...Plus McDavid and the Oilers versus the defending Cup Champion, Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday...

I wish the kid a speedy recover, and hope the long-term isn't too long...for the good of hockey and my fantasy team...

Twisted Sex Scandal at Notre Dame

A messy story came out via the New York Daily news...Some twisted shit at Notre Dame...An academic coach was fired for forcing students to have sex with her daughter...WTF!?!

"THE UNNAMED ACADEMIC COACH VIOLATED THE UNIVERSITY’S “VALUES” AND ITS 'DISCRIMINATION HARASSMENT POLICY,”'THE SIX-PAGE REPORT CONCLUDED. THE REPORT NOTES AN ACCUSATION MADE BY AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDENT WHO SAID THEY WERE PRESSED INTO HAVING SEX WITH THE COACH’S DAUGHTER, WHO IS WHITE. IT ALSO REFERENCES A PLAYER ON THE FAMED FOOTBALL TEAM WHO APPARENTLY ALSO WORKED WITH THE ACADEMIC COACH AND DATED HER DAUGHTER."

....

"ON FRIDAY, ONE OF THE STUDENTS SUED THE SCHOOL, ARGUING THE TUTOR ORCHESTRATED “SEXUALLY AND RACIALLY MOTIVATED” TRYSTS WITH HER DAUGHTER BY INCLUDING CONDOMS, TRANSPORTATION AND hotel rooms FOR ACADEMIC FAVORS."

....

“SHE WAS EXPLOITING AFRICAN-AMERICAN MALES,” SAID lawyer PETER J. AGOSTINO, WHO IS REPRESENTING THE UNNAMED STUDENT. “HE WAS INVITED TO THE FAMILY’S PRIVATE HOME TO FACILITATE THE RELATIONSHIP.”

....

The academic coach would later interrogate him about the "nature, frequency, and quality of the sexual activities" they had, the lawsuit claimsbadgering him with "racially-charged comments about his sexual prowess and genitalia," the suit alleges.

The student's attorneys have accused the university of fostering a "sexually abusive and hostile educational environment."

....

"The school maintained its innocence against the allegations, dismissing the lawsuit as "unfounded" and a mere publicity stunt, Notre Dame spokesman Paul Browne said."

......WTF!?!

WTF Blog: Frat Suspended for Singing

I was never a Frat guy, but we all heard stories of the fucked-up, awful, often homoerotic shit they did...But after seeing this story, I'm left scratching my head...


Ohio University’s Acacia fraternity chapter has been suspended pending a university investigation...What did these guys do that was so awful?  This...

"Send nudes, don't let me down. Take my soft dick and make it harder." - fraternity brothers singing to sorority pic.twitter.com/60khMIJOs2

— Olivia Hitchcock (@ohitchcock) October 29, 2015

They sang a horned up version of "Hey Jude" to sorority girls...

"Send nudes, don’t let me down. Take my soft dick, and make it harder." 


Seriously? That's all?  They didn't rush in there and start ravaging the girls...They didn't spray paint cocks and balls all over the house...They didn't call they cunts or whores or sperm burping gutter sluts...They sang a silly song...They politely said, 'we think you're hot, and would like to hook-up, but some nude pics will be fine for us to circle-jerk to!'


Now it is rumored that Acacia has a history of sexual misconduct and assault...They are rumored to have pulled the old Bill Cosby by drugging drinks and raping girls...But so far there has been no evidence and no charges...


There is a history of violence and perversion in Fraternities, and if Acacia has a reputation for that, it seems like the University is using this nonsense as a way to try to take them down...


Listen, as far as I'm concerned, 90% of frat guys are fucking assholes...50% are closet cases...I never thought I would write anything that would even halfheartedly defend frat guys, but this seems like the PC Police trying to deal with a problem, via some bullshit, trumped up charges...


I'm also bothered, because we are talking about Ohio University...The school that was Playboy Magazine's "#1 Party School" for so long, that Playboy eventually took them out of the running...The place is a really good school, that is also well known for it's drunken stupidity...


You want to bust a Frat for being scumbags, go for it...Busting them for a stupid song, shows just how full of bullshit we are becoming in this country.

Monday Moaning

I thought after Katie Nolan's second SPANKING of the Dallas Cowboys, that maybe the organization would take notice of how they and their players act...But no...They need a much greater spanking...

Sunday, against the the Seattle Seahawks, this happened...




At the 1:30 mark, Dez Bryant is seen walking across the 40 yard line, he has his helmet off, is pointing, and of course he is talking...Do you know what he said?

"That's what you fucking get!"

Dez Bryant on Ricardo Lockette injury: "That's what you f-cking get." #Leadership pic.twitter.com/Pb3d1UGZX5

— NFL Memes (@NFL_Memes) November 1, 2015

I think over the last year, I have made it completely clear, just how much I hate the NFL...And the last month we have seem nothing but idiot bullshit come from the Dallas Cowboys...Once known as "America's Team"....What they are is a microcosm of everything that is wrong in our society, so I guess they are "America's Team" in a way...America's shitty team....Our bad neighborhoods, our, punks, and drug dealers, and wife beaters, mixed with the billionaire CEO who cheats on his wife with gold-digging co-eds and strippers, and he is surrounded by his little red headed yes man, who does whatever big daddy says, even though he knows it's taking the business in the wrong direction...


I don't know how many times I have heard Dez Bryant "gets a bad rap" or that he is just a "passionate player"...Really? Honestly, you can say that? The fucking asshole hit his own mother! So if you defend him, fuck you! He's a flat out, and asshole...I knew that before Sunday, when he was talking shit, trying to start fights, and saying, "that's what you fucking get!"  while Ricardo Lockette laid motionless on the field...

When Bryant was asked after the game if he said, he said, "I got on one knee and prayed for that man. Don't put clips together and do that." Then asked, by a reporter, "Did the Seahawks accuse you of saying something?" Bryant said, "Nah man, ya'll did man, bullshit media did."

I didn't see him down on one knee praying...I saw him yell, talking shit, and finger pointing, in his typical fashion!

I have had many wishes in my life...And very few have come true, but a few important ones worked out...I have a new wish....fuck that...I'm better then Greg Hardy, Jerry Jones, and Dez Bryant...I'm not going to wish AIDS on that entire organization...I just wish that this time next week, I'm writing about Dez Bryant and Greg Hardy's career ending injuries...Fuck them...Fuck the Cowboys!


-Moving on to college football...It didn't even take the ACC 24 hours to throw their refs under the bus...Hell, the refs took longer doing the review then it did for the ACC to suspend the officials...Miami returned a kickoff to beat 30-27, but the return, which it should have been easy to see during the 9 minute review period, should not have counted...The ACC said one of the Miami players knee was down before one of the 8 laterals on the play...






The ACC suspended the on-field officiating crew, and the two replay booth officials...But they aren't overruling the call or overturning the game's outcome...

ACC Commissioner, John Swofford said in his press release, "The quality of our officiating program is of the highest importance to the league and its schools, and the last play of the game was not handled appropriately. Officiating is an extraordinarily difficult job but our players, coaches, programs and fans deserve the best that can be offered. We will continue to strive to meet that standard."

So the "players, coaches, programs and fans deserve the best that can be offered."  So how the hell can the ACCC say the officials shit the bed, they're suspended, bu we aren't going to give the game it's proper outcome?  

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I fucking know, 'the human element is part of the game'....It's such a fucking part of the game, that the NCAA and NFL, and MLB, and NHL have all added instant replay and replay officials to correct all the nearly never ending, fuck-ups caused by "the human element"...So if fucking up and in this case, fucking up royally is part of the game, ( "the human element" )  then shouldn't righting a wrong be part of the game too...Duke got fucked in the ass...the ACC admitted it...Now they should pull the big cock out of Duke's ass and stick up Miami's ass...All John Swofford needed to add was, 'Duke wins, Miami loses, our guys fucked up royally...We're sorry it took them 9 minutes to get it wrong, when people at home figured it out in a minute and half.'  Or something like that!



-On the home front, we got swamped on Halloween...The new neighborhood gets down for trick or treat, and we ran out of candy at 7:20...Trick or treat hours were 6-8...And we dumped most of what Molly got, (the stuff she doesn't like) into our pass-out bowl...I even boosted some from the boy, and told him to go hit another street. He was fine with those marching orders...

That's it for now...

Have a week!

Katie Nolan Crushing Greg Hardy and the Cowboys, Again!

It was just a couple weeks ago Katie Nolan, the host of Garbage Time, went viral after ripping the Dallas Cowboys, Greg Hardy and the media to shreds...Well, Wednesday night/Thursday morning, Katie Nolan had some more to say about Hardy and his behavior Sunday, as well as how the Cowboys organization backed up Hardy and supported his antics...

So, here for your viewing pleasure...Katie Nolan, crushing Hardy and teh Cowboys!






The sports media, and really the news media need more people like Nolan who are willing to call bullshit!


Just like in this next video, where comedian Jim Norton calls out the News media, because they decided that a stupid tweet from a stupid college girl, should be considered news...






My God the news media has gotten really stupid and really lazy...

We're really going down shitty road...Hopefully these few voices of reason like Nolan and Norton will wake people up!

Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton: Bad Sports Parents

When during the off-season, the Boston Bruins traded young, talented Defenseman, Dougie Hamilton, Bruins fans were shocked, and not happy...It appeared that negotiations for a contract extension broke down...When the Flames reached a deal with Hamilton after the trade, Bruins fans were scratching their heads, seeing that the numbers were not that far apart...Well, the picture is getting clearer this week...

Tuesday it came out that Hamilton wanted out of Boston because the Bruins had refused to trade for his Freddie, who is with the San Jose Sharks...

Today, even more came out on the Toucher and Rich show on 98.5 in Boston...CSNNE's John Haggerty was on the show Wednesday morning, talking Bruins and was asked about the Hamilton reports...Haggerty had said he hadn't heard the 'trade for my brother' story, but did suggest that Hamilton's parents may have been a major factor in the Bruins trading Dougie boy...

“What I did hear was that his parents were heavily involved in his career probably more so than you see with most guys who are 21, 22 years old, and there was some push-back because there were phone calls made to the Bruins organization, or there was some involvement in the way he was being used and things like that.”

The guys pushed, and asked if Haggerty was saying that Hamilton's parents were calling the Bruins and complaining about how he was used, Haggerty reiterated that they were “heavily involved in his career”...He also added that the parents have been "heavily involved" in Freddie’s career...


As a parent, I can understand being fully concerned about your kids, and their career...Especially when it is a career that can be very lucrative, but also very short lived...But there is a line, and these people seem to be going way past it...This isn't Little League...Hell, it's not even college...And college programs wouldn't put up with this shit...It's the NHL...The elite...The best of the best, and Mom and Dad are calling the management to complain because their boy isn't getting enough minutes...'Why isn't my Dougie on the penalty kill?'  Why isn't little Dougie boy a top-2 Defenseman?'

This shit is ridiculous...And now that it's coming out, Hamilton is going to get some serious ball-busting...Especially next time he comes to Boston...

Grow up Dougie...Tell Mom and Dad to mind their own business!
