The Weekly Hat-Trick (10/18/15)



The Hat-Trick is late this week...I apologize, but after getting the big move done Friday, and then working on unpacking, and getting things settled, I was just too damn tired, and felt the best option was to crash on the couch with some football playing background music...But now, I'm slightly recharged...


-PINK

I'll start with the NFL...My favorite target...Every week, they pull some more stupid bullshit...Over the past however many years now, the NFL, and all other lower levels have followed, have ruined football teams color schemes by mixing in pink for breast cancer awareness...Pink gloves, pink shoes, pink wrist-bands, pink socks, pink towels, pink whatever, all over the place...I have firmly stood with Bill Burr's stance on this...We haven't forgotten about cancer, we're aware...But hey it's here, and while it seems to have toned down this season, it's not going anywhere...It makes the NFL a boat-load of money, then they donate 3% of the proceeds to charity, and the "Pink Lady" takes her cut of that before it is spread out...

But then, Steelers RB, DeAngelo Williams, and DE, Cameron Heyward said they were going to wear pink the rest of the season to pay tribute to family members they had lost...The NFL said no because it would violate the leagues "uniform policy"....This league is amazing...They will fine these guys each week after October for wearing pink...They fined a guy for pretending to take a nap using a football as a pillow, after a touchdown...But they let criminals like Greg Hardy continue to play in their precious league...It's okay for Jerry Jones (an owner) and Hardy to talk about another player's wife, (Tom Brady)  but no pink after October...

This league tried to cover up CTE and ruined the Doctor that found this happening to football players...That's all perfectly okay, but don't fuck with our uniform policy....The level of which I hate the NFL is unmatched...There is no level of pain and suffering that will be enough punishment for Goodell and his top aids...These fuckers all need to go...Or even better, choke on a cock and die!

Here's a taste of some of Bill Burr's thoughts that I share...






- Unwritten Rules



Throughout all of sports, we have always been told about "The Unwritten Rules"...I've often thought about this, and how it's a load of bullshit...I think a better way to describe these so-called "unwritten rules" is, 'You're a fucking pussy and just can't take it!'

All the media talking heads were buzzing after Jose Bautista crushed what would be the game-winning, 3-run, home run, against the Texas Rangers in game 5...Bautista watched his handy work, and then did a power bat-flip...



This is where dolts chime in and say you don't "show a pitcher up" like that...It's an "unwritten rule"....Fuck you! The pitcher should have made a better pitch...And the dick-bag pitcher, Sam Dyson started talking shit after this, which caused the benches to clear...Fucking entitled pitchers are cunts...If asshole Dyson would have struck Bautista out, I bet he would have pumped his fist, or put his yell face on...Pitchers do that shit all the time...Aren't they showing up the hitter...The next time up, the hitter doesn't just swing and throw his bat at the mound...So why is it an "unwritten rule" that a pitcher "getting shown up" warrants a bean-ball?

It's the pitcher's job to get the batter out...It's the batter's job to get hits...Why are pitchers allowed to celebrate and batters aren't...Fuck your "unwritten rules!"

It was a tense game...Both teams were playing for their lives...The umps seemed unable to make a call on anything in a timely fashion...and the rowdy Toronto fans turned into total (Philly-like) assholes, constantly throwing shit on the field...but even worse on fellow fans below...

Bautista's flip was bolder then a normal bat-flip...But it fit the tone of what was going on...I loved it...Pitchers pumping their fist, and hitters flipping bats, baseball players showing passion and emotion is good for baseball...Please MLB, talking-heads, and fans, don't fuck up baseball the way football has been getting fucked up.


- No More Nudes in Playboy



"This whole world has gone crazy, God's gotten a little lazy"....


News that Playboy will not be publishing nude spreads broke this past week...As someone who likes porn, with was shocking news...I had myself quite a stash of Playboy mags, before the Internet found it's way into my life...

Now, I will never be the guy who said I got Playboy for the articles...Yes, after breaking off a load or two, I would thumb through and stumble across some quality reads...Playboy always got the big interviews, and got questions answered then many other didn't...And they had great fiction and non-fiction stories as well...Ray Bradbury often wrote short stories for Playboy...It really was great magazine, after you off-loaded...

And, while the no nudes news is sad...Sometimes barely dressed women can be pretty damn sexy and tantalizing....Like one of my favorite Playmates, and 1998 Playmate of the Year, Karen McDougal...



















No nudes in Playboy....I don't know about this...


Until next time....
