Monday Moaning

So Monday is here again...Wow, that went fast...Before I get into all the College Football madness, and my own personal madness, I have to talk about the Cleveland Browns game in New England...I was busy all day Sunday, but I kept checking into the game...Each time I was shocked to see the Browns in the lead...The lead was never too big...That will happen when you settle for field goals instead of punching it into the end zone...

Late in the 4th quarter the Browns were still up, but Tom Brady gets the ball back with over two minutes left...TD, Onside Kick, Bad Pass Interference Call, TD,  Game Over...Patriots win...The Browns snatch defeat from the Jaws of victory...BRUTAL!

I was reminded of why I gave up my Browns Fan Card...Games like this...Like most of the games they've played this year...

My numerous Ohio State fans had a rough go at it this weekend, and Michigan State's defense handled Braxton Miller and company...And the MSU offense seemed to surprise the hapless Buckeyes defense...The Spartans took down the #2 Buckeyes 34-24, and every Auburn player, coach and fan rejoiced...And all of the SEC had another chance to laugh at Ohio State...

Earlier in the Day Auburn won the SEC title in a no defense allowed battle with Missouri, winning 59-42...Florida State rolled Duke 45-7 in the ACC title game...So it's set...#1 FSU will take on Auburn in the National Championship Game...So how did the other bowls shake out?

I was hoping they would have matched Urban Meyer and Nick Saban's egos in a battle...But instead Saban's Tide will face Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl...Ohio State will take on Clemson in the Orange Bowl...Or the battle of two highly touted teams that fell on their faces!

The Fiesta Bowl will be Baylor and UCF...Oklahoma State and Missouri will play the Cotton Bowl...And in what could be the most fun game to watch, the Rose Bowl, Stanford will face Michigan State...Two hard-nosed teams that like to pound the ball and play defense...Defense! What's that!?!   A rarity these days!

My Irish will play Dec. 28th against Rutgers, in the Pinstripe Bow at Yankee Stadium...The Irish better win! That's all I have on that.

As for my life this weekend...Friday night I took the kids skating...My wife and I were suppose to go out to a Christmas party, but our sitter got seriously sick, and our evening out was screwed...

Saturday we took the kids with friends to lunch with Santa...The saw the fat man...Asked him for a specific thing or two...(already have them...Santa already has his shopping done!) Here's Little Beeze thinking hard about exactly what he wants...

Afterwards we took the kids for ice cream...Then back to our friends home...My buddy and I ditched the kids and ladies for a couple hours, grabbed a couple beers, a burger, and watched some football...Lunch with Santa wasn't that good, or filling...

Sunday was work...Lots of work...We did a big switch in the Beeze house...We moved the girls upstairs to our room...and moved us down to their room...Fuck I forgot how heavy that King size bed was...And those sweet bunk beds I put together months ago...I had to take them apart to get them through the doorways, and up the stairs...It was ton of work, cleaning, lifting...Good exercise too...Which will go well with our change in diet...We've gone with organic meat, fruits, and veggies...And we've been juicing in place of one meal a day...We've both felt better and lost some weight in just a week since we got the juicer...

The weekend went fast, and somehow felt long...

Now for this week's Christmas song...It's more of a anti-Christmas song, but I like it...Daniel Mustard's "Since Santa Ain't Coming"






Have a week...

The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

You know, some weekends are work, work, work...Luckily Mrs. Beeze does the majority of the laundry!

The weekend started with me in the kitchen preparing Thanksgiving dinner...The kids watched the parade, my oldest nursing a serious cold that knocked her for a loop Tuesday afternoon, and kept her in bed for 2 days...

Family came and ate...Not too much family...Which meant lots of leftovers...Everyone left the house with extra food, and we still had plenty to enjoy the rest of the weekend...Plus the turkey stew I made with the dark meat, and the bones, and veggies...It cooked on very low heat for about 17 hours, and then we poured it over some fresh biscuits...Delicious!

Then came Saturday...I made it clear that all I was doing was watching football...First Ohio State at Michigan...It became very clear, early in this game, that neither team was here to play defense...It came right down to the wire...Michigan scores with less then 40 seconds left...42-41 OSU...Michigan coach Brady Hoke decides to try to ruin the Buckeyes' season right here and go for 2...They failed...Seemed like a bad play call, not giving his running QB an option to run it in himself if it's there...Me, I would have played it safe, kicked the 1, and go at it some more in OT...People say OSU would have rolled in OT...Well, the way the game went, Michigan wasn't having trouble moving the ball themselves...Oh well...The Buckeyes undefeated season marches on, looking ahead to Michigan State in the conference championship game...and looking over their shoulder to see if they get jumped by a 1 loss team in the rankings...

Then the "Iron Bowl" came on...Alabama at Auburn...So many of us wanted to see an upset...And with 1 second left, Alabama attempts a 57 yard field goal with a freshman kicker...Their starting kicker (who I won't name because he has already gotten enough hate mail and bad press) missed 3 field goal attempts earlier in the game...The kick was short, and Auburn CB Chris Davis returned it 109 yards for the winning, touchdown...




Fucking Auburn is becoming masters of the exciting big play, big finish...

After the game, Auburn AD Jay Jacobs was already pissing off Ohio State, and Ohio State fans by making his case to jump them in the standings saying it would be "a disservice to college football" if a one-loss SEC champion was left out of the national title game for Ohio State....Fucking balls down there in the South!

I'm not taking a side here, I'm just saying, maybe wait until your school plays Missouri in the SEC title game before you start trying to get into the National Championship game...

Then I watched my Fighting Irish take on Stanford...I didn't expect the Irish to win, but I was glad they hung in there...The fact is, they could have won this game...Like some other games this year, mistakes, and bad QB play got to them...I read a headline that summed up Saturday's game...

"Rees Shows Heart, Not Enough Arm."

I also had myself jumping to the UCLA/USC game...I was actually expecting it to be closer, but UCLA handled the Trojans 35-14...When that one lost it's luster I started checking on the Missouri/Texas A&M game...Missouri won 28-21, putting them into the SEC Championship game against Auburn, and putting that miserable look on Johnny Manziel's face...And I never get tired of that...

It has been a crazy football week...Thursday, I didn't watch the NFL, with the exception of the last 5 minutes of the Steelers/Ravens game...I did watch the Ole Miss/Miss State game...It was an old school backyard brawl, and Miss State pulled 17-10 OT win...From what I heard, it was better then the Lions/Packers game...

Sunday, I watched no football...Had to pick up the slack from doing nothing Saturday...So, we broke out the Christmas decorations and got all that crap started...It's the earliest we've ever done this crap...I don't like going this early, but the kids were excited...Plus the weekends are already getting booked up, plus both the girls birthday's are this month...Our oldest turns 12 Tuesday...Were the hell did the time go!?!

Oh, and I saw the Browns lost to Jacksonville...Jacksonville...that shit is why I quit being a Browns fan!

So, since I'm being Johnny Festive, I figure I end each week's post with a Christmas tune...But I'm gonna try to use some songs that aren't traditional...Here's Dead Sara's "Snow in Los Angeles"





Have a week...

The Beeze...

I Was Wrong

Listen, I can at least start this post with something worth looking at...Something positive, and Notre Dame related...

Yes, I was wrong...I thought the ND/Alabama BCS Championship game would be close...I said it would be a good game...I said Notre Dame would win...I was wrong...

Alabama dominated Notre Dame in the trenches...The Irish defense that played so well all season, played awful...Missed tackles....Bad angles...and flat out over-powered...As much as people talk about "SEC speed," it was brute stregnth more then speed in this one...

And then there was coaching...Brian Kelly and his staff  were totally out coached by Nick Saban and his staff...Nobody expected the Irish to score tons of points...The defense had to do what they have done all year, and they couldn't...Manti Te'o, who always seems to be in the right spot...Always seems to anticipate the play...Without a doubt, he played the worst game of his career...

Alabama was the better team...I was wrong...

This doesn't change a thing...My loyalty for Notre Dame is still strong...Hopefully this season is something to build from...I still hate the ND haters...I respect Saban and wish he was coaching the Browns...But why would anyone want that job over what he has...I still hate Alabama...I still hate rednecks...I still don't like what I feel is the over-hyping of the SEC...Fuck LSU, those overrated shit-stains...

As far as tonight, I was wrong...Feel free to pile on...I'm a big boy, I can take it...

Big Hockey game Tuesday...#2 Notre Dame at #1 Minnesota...It's on NESN...Go Irish!

The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for tonight's game...I've been waiting too long for this...The Notre Dame Fighting Irish will take on the Alabama Crimson Tide for the NCAA, BCS, National Championship...I find it funny how there are so many ND haters, who always complain about the media attention the Irish get...But all I've seen and heard for the last 2 weeks has been people swinging on Alabama and Nick Saban's nuts...hardly anyone is giving the Irish a chance...Who cares that they are an undefeated #1 team...Who cares that the ND defense has only given up 2 rushing TD's and a total of 10 TD's all year...

No that doesn't matter right...Because Alabama is from the big bad SEC...Hmmm...I think Friday night, the SEC's best team played in the Cotton Bowl, as Texas A&M beat the living shit out of Oklahoma...You know, Texas A&M...The same Texas A&M that beat Alabama, in Alabama...Hmmm...How did the rest of the big, bad, SEC schools do in their bowl games...

Overrated LSU was upset by Clemson...(Les Miles is a dolt)...Georgia had to come from behind to beat shitty Nebraska...Vandy won against NC State...Miss State lost to Northwestern...Ole Miss beat Pitt...South Carolina struggled and had to come from behind to beat a sorry Michigan team...Florida....#3 Florida was upset by by #21 Louisville...(33-23 but it wasn't even that close)...Now I look at this and see two teams struggled to beat crappy Big-10 teams, and the two teams that everyone felt at the Alabama level, Florida and LSU, lost their games...While no one gave any love to A&M, the team that beat 'Bama...In my view, this all adds up to the SEC has been overrated this year...A&M was underrated most of the year...And after Monday night I have a feeling SEC guy and 'Bama fan will be searching for an excuse to why the mighty Tide lost...

You can all keep doubting and hating the Irish...Fuck you!

People say you shouldn't say mean things, or wish ill on people...They say, "Bite your tongue."  Well the only thing that happens when I bite my tongue is, I get a sore tongue! This is a tongue biting free zone! Fuck Alabama and all the SEC assholes!

Fucking rednecks!  Nothing like being born, with three strikes against you already!

-Moving on...There has been a tentative deal struck to end the NHL lockout...There will be a deciding vote Tuesday to see if the deal passes...But everyone has jumped the gun and said there will be a season...Many are very happy about this news....

Me...I don't really care anymore...I have no interest in a possible 50 game season...All this bullshit has lost me for the year...Even if my New York Rangers come out and run the table, it won't matter...It will be a watered down season...A meaningless championship, with an asterisk next to it...Sorry NHL, but you lost me for now...

There was a great Hockey story this weekend, but sadly, it got little mention...The U.S. World Junior team beat Sweden 3-1 Saturday morning to take the Championship...Yep, the U.S.A.

Not Canada...It was the first time since 1998 that Canada didn't take home any medal...That won't go over very well up North...Not Russia...And not Sweden...The U.S.

Suck it world!

-Now...To this fucking Chip Kelly guy...Dude just spent a weekend getting free meals from 3 NFL teams, and getting the twitter-verse all wound up...Mother fuckers were going crazy in the Cleve thinking he was the next Browns coach..Not just local hacks...Even NFL Network and ESPN douches...Everyone saying "Sources are saying Kelly is close to signing with the Browns."  These fucking guys and their so called "sources"...Why do you keep using these faceless, nameless "Sources" who are consistently wrong...Kelly moved on to other interviews, and then to another with the Browns...Stuffed his face, and said he's staying at Oregon! 

All these inside douchebags and their "Sources" were totally wrong...Shocking!  I for one, am glad...Fuck Chip Kelly...He's a college coach, running a college offense that won't translate to the NFL...If it did, there would be some one running it...Plus, I'm sick of this wacky Cleveland idea of giving a guy a NFL head coaching position, who has never done it before...I don't want a college coach...I don't want a hot-shot coordinator...I want a fucking real, proven, NFL head coach...

As for the rest of my weekend, it sucked...It just sucked a big steaming pile of sweaty balls...But all will be better when Notre Dame beats Alabama Monday night...If they don't, I'll still be here, taking shit from the rednecks...Win or lose, they can all eat my ass!

Have a week...

Monday Moaning (A Day Late and a Dollar Short)

Yes, I took a personal day...Needed a Monday Moaning breather...But here I am, back for more...Back with more to say...And since I took that breather, let me give you all just a little extra of the good stuff...

Now that I've taken care of the sexy, I am happy to say that Notre Dame will be playing in the BCS Championship game against Alabama...I think I made my thoughts clear HERE...There isn't a doubt in my mind that ND can beat Alabama...I'm not calling a blowout...But they can win...It should be a close game...

The Bowl game that most people seem excited about is the Fiesta Bowl...Kansas State vs. Oregon...A Championship game many wanted to see, before both teams lost...It should be a fun one...

But the Bowl causing all the controversy is the Orange Bowl, which has Northern Illinois taking on Florida State...The 12-1 Huskies did everything required of them to earn an at large bid for a BCS bowl...All the other conferences knew about this rule...ESPN knew about it...It was many of their talking heads that kept raising a stink about the likes of past Boise State, TCU, Utah, and Nevada teams not getting a fair shot at BCS bowls...

So now, a MAC school does it, and everyone is pissed...They keep screaming Oklahoma should be there...WHY?  Because they're a big name...So what...They lost to Notre Dame, and Kansas State...They win both those games, they're playing for it all...They win one of those games, and maybe they win their conference and get the automatic bid...College Football has always been clear...You have to win...Win...There's no playoff (yet) so you have to be perfect, or nearly perfect to go anywhere...Otherwise, go fuck yourself...So stop with this Oklahoma, Georgia, LSU, should be there instead of NIU...

NIU is 12-1...You're not...NIU won their conference...You didn't...NIU finished in the top 15...They hit the requirements...NIU's QB is better then yours...NIU is giving their students 1 free ticket each to the Orange Bowl...Your school isn't/wouldn't....I'll take the Huskies over you crying cunts!

-Sunday, my NFL viewing options were the Lions and Colts and Packers vs the Vikings...I could care less about these teams...The Lions have been a bust...The Colts are rebuilding...I don't care about Andrew Luck and his come backs...The Packers have been overrated, or underachieving, or both...And the Vikings are trying to get their shit together...I just don't care...The NFL just really bores me...So the kids and I went ice skating...We've been going twice a week for a few weeks now...Maybe I'll start getting my ass back in shape...

When we got home, the Browns game versus the Raiders was on...Guess what?  I didn't fucking watch it...Two of the worst teams in the NFL going head to head in the battle of who could care less...No thanks...I made meatloaf, mash potatoes and corn instead... (the Browns won)

-The big story this week in the NFL was Chiefs LB Javon Belcher shooting and killing his girlfriend and mother of their 3 month old daughter...Then he went to the Chiefs facilities, and killed himself in front of his coach and GM...It's an awful story, and while many have touched on it, no one has said something that needs to be said...I don't care if you were his friend of a family member of his, and you're reading this...FUCK JAVON BELCHER!  Anything good he ever did in his life was voided Saturday...He got off easy taking his chicken shit way out...Fuck this fucking fuck...His daughter has no parents...And one day she'll learn about what happened, and what will that do for her?  Break her heart...Fill her with anger...God knows what else...Javon Belcher is/was a piece of shit....That's all his head stone should say...

- And since I'm already angry...I'm sure everyone has heard about the homeless guy who had no shoes...So a NYC cop bought him a pair of water resistant boots and some socks...The picture of it all has become huge...

Well once again, this guy has no shoes...When he was seen without the boots, barefoot again, he was asked about it...His story..."They're hiding." He feels that they are expensive, and could get stolen...

Well kids, I'm calling bullshit!  You're fucking homeless...Where the fuck are they hiding?  I hate to be cynical, but am...I don't believe this shit one bit...This fucker sold those boots for some drugs or booze...This cop did a great thing...I have to wonder how he feels about this...Probably gonna think twice before he thinks about reaching into his pocket for some one again...

-A year ago this past weekend, the comedy world lost a great...If you have a hour to kill, come back and click on this video, and listen to great interview with Patrice O'Neal...It's not just about comedy, it's a real, honest, and funny conversation that gave great insight into a hell of a comic...




That's it for now...Have a week...

I doubt were going to see any Hurricane Sandy damage that looks better then this....

 



 

Well, for those of you who don't know, Sandy didn't just kick the hell out of New York and New Jersey...I know that's all the news talked about, but 500 miles away from the eye of the storm, Cleveland Ohio was getting it's ass pounded with rain that had started last Friday, and Monday the high winds kicked in...500 miles away and we were getting 50-75 mph winds...And the rain didn't stop until Thursday...Trees up-rooted all over...power lines down everywhere...My neighbors roof is fucked...The address numbers ripped off my house...Shit got real...There are still people in Northeast Ohio without power...My phone and Internet was down for 3 days...Holy shit I was losing my mind...2 blocks away the electric company, and phone company, and cable companies were working non-stop for 3 days...They had to replace 6 poles...Yeah, I know we didn't take the devastation that New Jersey and parts of New York did, but I felt people needed to understand just how big and strong this storm was...

And because of Sandy, Halloween was pushed back...My neighborhood moved it back to Sunday...So we waited until Saturday to get pumpkins...Good prices...The kids drew their ideas, and I carved them up...I did pretty good...

And here is the family, all ready to go...Our traditional pic with Frankenstein...

And of course, we had the trick or treaters...We had a number of drop offs this year...Those are the fuckers from another neighborhood, who  get dropped off to cut in on the loot...Then we had the shit head parents with a bag, saying they had a sick kid at home...BULLSHIT....Fucking teenagers in no costume...Not even trying...They get nothing from me!  Then I had some dolt pulling a real little kid in a wagon...The kid was asleep...If your kid is asleep in a wagon at 6:30PM, you shouldn't be trick or treating...Fuckers make me crazy...Luckily, I ran out of candy just after 7...I had to dip into snack bags of Goldfish to finish off the rush...Little Beeze got back, and passed out some of his own candy, but by 7:15 or so, the whole street was turning off their lights...So I called it too...

-You want to talk College Football...Checkout the WRAP_UP first...

Plenty of people disrespecting Notre Dame because they had to get lucky, and go to 3 OT's to beat Pitt...Yet, when Alabama was struggling to beat LSU, and looking like shit, the announcers said, "great teams, championship teams, have to have games like this."   Wait, so it's okay for Alabama to struggle, and get lucky, (Les Miles screwed it up) but Notre Dame isn't allowed to...I'm sick of the double standard that gets thrown at ND...I'm sick of the free pass SEC schools get...I'm sick of SEC fans ignoring the fact that, at least half of their conference fucking sucks!

The latest BCS rankings have 'Bama 1...Kansas State 2...Oregon 3...and ND 4...I have no problem with ND being 4...They are most likely the weakest team...But in my eyes, K-State is #1...They have proven it week in and week out, and without a doubt have played the toughest schedule so far...I would probably Oregon #2, just because their offense is so powerful...Their D has a lot of questions, but if they got into a shootout with 'Bama, the Ducks win...

-If you have Browns kicker Phil Dawson on your fantasy team, Sunday wasn't too bad for you, since Dawson kicked 5 field goals...Trent Richardson rushed for 105 yards...And Brandon Weeden threw 2 picks, (should have been 3, Reed dropped one) and looked like crap, as the Browns lost 25-15 to the Ravens...What a sorry game this was to watch...

- I've been keeping an eye on the Seattle Seahawks, ever since that game against the Packers, that everyone says the refs stole...Even though the Seahawks played a hell of a game...Today, the tough Seattle D gave up 182 yards to Adrian Peterson, and the Seahawks still managed to beat the Vikings 30-20...While I'm confident San Fran will take the NFC West, this Seattle team may cause some problems...

-Now, Tuesday is Election Day...I'm not going to get into all the political crap that has gone on...I'm not going to sit here and point out the lies, and try to swing your decision a different way...If you need me to do that, you have bigger problems...And screw undecided voters...Those are just uniformed/lazy dolts....But I am going to pimp one person running for public office...

JIM_WARD for Wisconsin State Senate...I'm in Ohio, so I can't vote for Jim...But any of you readers in Wisconsin, you gotta get behind my pal...I grew up with Jim...Went to Grade School  together...He's no politician...He's a History teacher, who is sick of the same old political BS...

This was written recently about Jim, after a candidate forum...

"1. I'm mostly a Republican voter however Jim Ward was way more impressive than Lazich. In fact, for being in office for 8 years, she did not sound knowledgeable at all. I think it is time to elect people for their qualities rather than the party!

2. It does seem that Ward has a better grasp in the issues."

Seriously Wisconsin, Tuesday, Jim Ward is your guy!

That's it folks...Have a week...

SRV, Take us out...

Here we are again...Looking down the barrel of another long, work week...I'm really starting to get tired of how quickly the weekends fly by...But then again, maybe the weekends won't get past me as quick, once I'm not sitting in the cold rain, watching my local Brooklyn Hurricanes High School football team, play like shit...Browns fans are pretty unhappy with Pat Shurmur...And we'll get to him later, but this high school coach is a complete fuck-tard...

Then there are the parents who were screaming at the refs Friday night, after a 30+ yard TD run was called back for holding...Well, I know you're parents and I get you supporting the kids, but if the D-lineman is dragging an O-lineman who is clutching at the back of his jersey...IT"S FUCKING HOLDING!  This team isn't win-less because of the refs...They lack size, experience, talent, discipline, and good coaching...Bitch at the coaches for only having 10 men on the field far too often...Bitch at the coaches for not teaching them to zone block properly, or not hold...Blame the coaches for not working more with Johnny Throw Another Pick...

Holy shit, I just defended refs!

-Then comes Saturday, which I spend a ton of time watching College Football...And then going through College Football notes, to decide what I'll write about for Sunday's  WRAP_UP...

Although this Saturday we started the day at Toys-R-Us...The Little Beeze had a  few gift cards burning a hole in his pocket, from his birthday...He loaded up on some Club Penguin toys, and some Angry Birds...he also let his older sister get a doll...Pretty cool of an 8 year old boy to do...He also grabbed some Angry Birds Star Wars toys...But they couldn't ring them up...They informed us that they aren't allowed to sell them yet...So answer me this..."WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A HUGE SHELF FULL OF THESE TOYS, IF YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SELL THEM YET!?!"

They apologized, and then we were asked to leave...Fuck them!

-Sunday, I did yard work during the Browns game...It finally wasn't raining, and shit needed to get done...And I decided I'd rather watch the Patriots/Jets game, then watch the Browns lay another steaming pile of shit...

 
Last week Fatty, Walrus, Holmgren was shown the door....Sadly, in a polite way...He was given the chance to say he's retiring after this year, and will help with the transition that is going on...GM Tom Heckert has been looking for a job since the news of the sale broke in August...And after what I heard on the radio from fans Sunday, and what I saw on Twitter...Pat Shurmur better start looking, because if the new boss Jimmy Haslan doesn't run him out of here soon, the fans will...Dude, you lost to the Colts...From what I saw, Weeden played well...better then Luck...But the Browns only ran it 17 times, for 55 yards...What the fuck did they draft Trent Richardson for?  we already have water boys!

Unreal...

As for the Patriots, they beat the Jets 29-26...While it's a win, it's disappointing...The Pats defense better start knuckling up, because giving up 26 to the shitty Jets is just bad...

-Hey the Red Sox have a new manager...Their former pitching coach under Francona...They traded an average SS to the Blue Jays for their manager...What the fuck is that...I'll tell you what that is...That's making the fans happy, because it's a guy they like and know...And it's making the players happy, because it's a guy they like and know...Fuck everything else...One year of headaches was enough!

-The latest BCS Rankings came out Sunday night...There has been a slight change that will get some people in the Pacific Northwest upset...Here's the top 5...

1. Alabama...2. Florida...3. Kansas State...4. Oregon...5. Notre Dame...Honestly, at the start of the season, I looked at Alabama as the best team out there...But these rankings are suppose to be based on a number of things, and Alabama hasn't played much of a schedule yet...Especially compared to Kansas State, Florida, and Notre Dame...Oregon is an offensive power-house, but their defense has shown squat so far, so any crying they're doing can stop until they stop some one...I would have K-State above Florida and 'Bama, but I can accept Florida ahead of them...This season wasn't expected from them, and thrashing South Carolina this week proved they've earned it so far...Things are going to be interesting...

But the slight that would have me pissed if I lived in Oregon, would be the fact that the undefeated Oregon State Beavers are sitting at 7, behind LSU...That is just fucking garbage...These asshole continue to overrate LSU...Undefeated Miss State should be ahead of LSU instead of at 11...

The 7-0 Ohio University Bobcats finally made it in at 24...Still too low, but at least some people are taking notice...

(16) Louisville and (15) Rutgers didn't move up as much as they hoped after Temple gave Rutgers and early scare, and and USF gave Louisville a late scare...

-So I was watching the Steelers and Bengals game...It went to a commercial...There's Brad Pitt standing there...Talking...Sounding all deep, and spiritual, like he's about to hit us with some serious shit, that only a Hollywood douchebag can clue us in on...But then it ended...





Are you fucking kidding me!?!  Even my wife broke off a "What the fuck!"

Seriously...Are all those adopted kids making things that tight, that you're being all deep, and emotional about Chanel No. 5....You know what dude...Put a fucking dick in your mouth and choke on the load! 

The only thing that made me more disgusted with TV today was a commercial for a show called "South Beach Tow"...




Is this really what our world has come to...A so-called reality show about obnoxious douchebags towing cars...Everyone in this show looks like people who get fired from dish washing jobs...Enough with the not-so-reality TV...Lets get back to writing, and filming quality shows...And History Channel, lets get back to History, instead of assholes in a pawn shop...It scares me, what America is becoming...

That's it for now...Have a week...

The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

Yep, just one week left of Summer for the kids, and then it's back to school...Actually, off to a new school for mine...Catholic School really dinged me last week, as I dropped $450 on uniforms for my two oldest kids...You'd think those damn skirts were made out of gold! And sadly for Little Beeze, I doubt his teacher looks like Miss Jones there up above...But the switch will be good for them...Better then the Hell hole they were at last year!

That said, we're going to start this week talking about a different Catholic School...The University of Notre Dame...By this point of the Summer, I have usually posted some Pre-season Notre Dame blogs...I also normally put out other College Football predictions, including my Heisman pick...Well, this year I've been slacking in that department...I'll be honest, I just haven't cared as much...Why? I don't know, I think the biggest reason has been my kids, As I touched on in what I wrote HERE Saturday...

Luckily, ESPN hires dolts like Rick Reilly, instead of guys like me...Reilly, an over-hyped columnist for years with SI, and now ESPN, like most douchebag columnists, hates bloggers like me...They think the world only needs their shitty opinion...They do the same thing as us bloggers, except they have a boss who gives them a deadline, and doesn't let them write words like fuck! Well Reilly, you can eat my ass!

Reilly posted a blog...Umm, I mean column, on ESPN.com...I'm not linking their shit...They don't get any free hits from me! Ricky boy was all up in arms about Notre Dame...Saying how he no longer loves Notre Dame football, because he "grew up." Did Ya!?!

Reilly is unhappy with the media coverage Notre Dame gets...Umm, look at your bosses assshole! He is unhappy that they have lost 10 of their last 12 bowl games, and 9 of their last 10 to USC...Us real fans aren't happy about that either...He is also salty that ND isn't in a conference for football...Anyone who has followed me, knows that I'm a loyal ND fan, and I have repeatedly said they should be in a conference...But I don't make the rules...Although, I should!

Rick Reilly put his foot down and wrote this...
"From now on:
• Notre Dame no longer gets its own television deal with NBC.

• Notre Dame no longer gets to be the only school in the country with an inexplicable seat at the BCS decisions-making table.

• Notre Dame no longer gets its yearly undeserved hellahype in preseason rankings and preseason All-America teams."


Well Rick...The NCAA and you have no power, or authority to tell NBC they can't pay Notre Dame boat loads of money to broadcast their football games...Nor would any other University say no to a major network putting that kind of cash in their pockets...

If the BCS is going to give Nd that seat at the "decision-making table," that's on them...It's the BCS' fault...Not Notre Dame's...And the reason they do give them that seat, is because as many people like you, are out there hating Notre Dame, there are plenty that love Notre Dame...Just ask the over 30,000 people from the U.S. who are traveling to Ireland to see Notre Dame play Navy there...ND fans travel well, and spend money...That's why they have the seat...Because all the NCAA and BCS care about is money...

And for the "yearly undeserved hellahype in preseason rankings and preseason All-America teams." Again, that's another thing you can't pin on Notre Dame...That's on you, your bosses, and all your buddies in the media...Notre Dame doesn't put out the AP poll...Notre Dame doesn't put out "Lindy's" pre-season magazine...Notre Dame doesn't write the "USA Today" or "Sports Illustrated" Polls...If you're pissed about about Notre Dame's standing in the sports media, then go on the air at ESPN and blast them, and the rest of the media...But you won't Rick...You're too much of a fucking coward!

And you don't like Notre Dame's standing with the NCAA and BCS...Take it up with them...I agree, ND should be in a conference...But if the NCAA isn't forcing them into a conference, and says it's okay to have their own TV deal, and the BCS wants ND's input, you can't blame Notre Dame for saying okay, and reaping the benefits...When ESPN threw money at you Rick Reilly, and sweet talked you, and gave you what you wanted, you said 'okay, see ya SI!' So why is not alright that Notre Dame says okay? Is this all because your Daddy issues Rick, and how it hurt him so much that he flunked out of Notre Dame? Or is it just because you're douche, and you needed something for your deadline?

Okay, I'm through with you Reilly...

-Saturday we were at our friend Brian an May's house for a cookout...Brian is a big Packers fan, being that he's from Wisconsin...He was waiting for me to bust his balls about the Browns beating the Packers this week in their pre-season game...Nope, not gonna happen...It's pre-season...Pre-season doesn't mean shit...The Browns only had to see Rodgers for what, 3 series...Sure there were some good things, but there were plenty of bad too...Especially the Packers lack of depth at QB...Okay, so I got one dig in...

-I hope everyone had good weekend...We worked in some quality park time Sunday morning/afternoon...It was a perfect day...Molly was rocking the swings, as usual...


Then I got some yard work done, and fired up the grill for some burgers and dogs...

-Just a quick ad here...All my pre-seaon college football crap, will be coming at you Friday...Better start doing my homework...Okay, Molly says it's time to go...


Have a week...

The BCS+Jeff Sagarin+Nick Saban = TOOLS

As my good friend B-Dub pointed out Monday, back in 2003 Nick Saban had this to say, "Anyone that doesn't win their conference has no business playing in the national championship game."

So, why hasn't Saban refused to have his team play in the BCS Championship game? His Alabama team didn't win their conference...Hell, they didn't even make it into the conference championship game? Why, because they lost to LSU!

Supporters of the BCS have always defended the system saying that it makes every regular season game count...Well clearly it doesn't, because LSU already beat 'Bama, yet some tool, Jeff Sagarin and his computer program have said 'NOT GOOD ENOUGH! PLAY AGAIN!' So if 'Bama wins, will LSU then get a rematch? No...This tool and his computer program have had Alabama playing in this game all year...

The theory of the BCS is to have the two best teams in the country play for the title...Play for the title, without a playoff...It has lead people to think that teams have to go undefeated, which is a tough thing to do...And it's pretty rare that you'll get two teams, and only two teams that will be undefeated at the end of the year...There have been many years where an undefeated is left outside looking in, because of the computer systems...We've even seen an undefeated team not in the game, while one loss teams play...There are so many flaws it's unreal...

No playoff is retarded...College football, while not "Pros" it is a major sport...Look at the championship winning teams from the past year in major sports...In a BCS type system, with no playoff, the Dallas Mavericks wouldn't have played for the NBA Championship...The Green Bay Packers wouldn't have played in the "Super Bowl"...The Boston Bruins wouldn't have played for the Stanley Cup final...The St. Louis Cardinals wouldn't have played in the World Series...

In all those sports, the regular season mattered...All those teams had to claw their way through it, and fight to get into the playoffs...Then they had to grind through playoffs to be the last team standing...But with college football, we have the BCS...The Bowl Championship Series...A bunch of bowl games that mean nothing, except for the money they generate, and one that means everything...But the games that are played, meant to decided who plays for it all, mean nothing...A Tool, and his computer program decide...

Supposedly strength of schedule is figured in...Every team has a weak opponent or two, and some teams that are thought to be better, but end up having a down year...Well, Alabama played 3 weak SEC teams, along with North Texas, Kent State, and D-2 Georgia Southern...That's 6 weak ass teams...Half their schedule...Looking at Oklahoma State's schedule, there are 4-5 weak games on there...Their one loss just like 'Bama's, a close game, an OT game, a conference game...But guess what...They won their conference, so once again let's look at what Nick Saban said in 2003...

"Anyone that doesn't win their conference has no business playing in the national championship game."

Who's up for some Horse Play? Why not, the BCS is full of Horse Shit! Yes, I'm sure it will be the big topic all over the blogosphere...The NCAA Football Championship game is going to be a rematch between LSU and Alabama...Rematch? This shit is truly retarded...Those who argue in favor of the BCS say that it works because it all about the games that are played...Well clearly it's not, because these two teams already played, and LSU won...There is no need for this game...'Bama, Saban, and their shitty kickers already showed they can't beat LSU...Next please!

Who should be next? Well based on who played who, and who beat who, and what the records are, there is no doubt in my mind that Oklahoma State should be playing LSU for the title...But people are in so much aww of the SEC and keep saying they have the best talent, so of course the polls are going to push for two SEC teams in the Championship game...

Now if you look at the SEC standing and stats, half the conference just sucks...Just like half the Big Ten sucks...Just like half the Big-12 sucks...75% of the PAC-12 sucks...All but 2 teams in the ACC suck...And all of the Big East sucks! So is this love affair with the SEC justified? I don't think so!

But this topic is an annoying topic that seems to come up almost every year, because this fucked up system works so well!

So this weekend, the Beeze family started celebrating our oldest daughter's birthday at a fundraiser for my childhood parish...Nothing like a little Breakfast with Santa to get in a festive mood...


The kids had fun making ornaments, listening to stories that Mrs. Claus was reading, and of course, sitting down with the big guy...

After that I got the baby down for a nap and got ready to watch some football...I really liked seeing the guy I've been hyping for the Heisman, Robert Griffin III get some National TV time...


And again, he did what he has done all year long...He lit people up...As a matter of fact, he lit up the Texas Longhorns...


The fact that it has taken this long for the National Media to give him any love is ridiculous...Dude has thrown for 3,998 yards, with a 72.4 completion percentage, 36 TD's and only 6 INT's...He's also rushed for 644 yards and 9 TD's...I'll gladly take him over Andrew Luck!

Then Sunday came...We had our daughter's birthday party...A couple hours of kid madness, and then we came home and got some quiet...The baby was napping and the other two played quietly...I was making dinner and listening to the radio, while the wife watched some shitty show on TV...Then 4 o'clock came, and the Browns game started...Every time the Browns play the Ravens I think about Steve Everritt, and what a cool guy he was, and how proud he was to be a Brown, even after they moved...


But, the game started, and it was hard to be proud to be a Browns fan again...Mike Polk wasn't lying when he called Browns Stadium a "Factory of Sadness"...

My thoughts on this week's game was summed up in 3 of my tweets...

-every week the Browns find a way to keep it ugly...So many hours wasted watching this crap!

-Browns offense is awful. McCoy looks like crap. WR's drop everything he gets to them. OL is a train wreck. I'm done wasting my time

-Even Cribbs looks like a lump of shit...Glad he got that big contract extension...Twat!

Yeah, that's it...A friend of mine broke it down pretty well too...

-"Browns suck. Plain and simple. It's like a conspiracy against fandom. Every time the Browns play, an abortion happens"

That's all I have on the Sports world for right now...I mentioned listening to the radio earlier...I spent any free time I had listening to the Opie and Anthony channel on XM this weekend...All weekend they did a tribute to their friend Patrice_O'Neal who passed away last week...O'Neal was a smart and hilarious comic, who was just, finally getting the recognition he deserved...He's already greatly missed...I'm going to listen to some more now...

Have a week...

Monday Moaning

Let me first start by saying, I may cut this one short...I'm feeling pretty sh!tty right now...It started about 3:30 AM Sunday...Sore throat, stuffed nose...F**kin' kids! You see we had our daughter's birthday party Saturday, so I'm sure I picked something up from one of the rug rats that was destroying my house! There were 10 girls and the little Beeze, and his buddy...The two boys did much of the damage...And the little boy's sister...It's amazing how a little kid can make you nuts...And this girl can...I blame a lot of it on her mother and her always changing boyfriend...I'm often finding reasons why my kids can't play with this girl...Often them playing together means their mother just dumping her kids on me for hours...So lately, I've been saying, "No, they have chores to do."

But here I am, I feel like I'm spinning out of control already...But one last thing about the party...Little Beeze loved it...Loved the girls all over the place...His buddy was like, "There's too much girls here." My boy was saying, "They're really nice...Let's see what they're doing." And of course, kissing as many as he could!

But let's get to important sh!t...The BCS bowls have been decided...While I think the Fiesta Bowl may be a great match up between Boise State and TCU...I'd rather see each of them play one of the big boys...This way, the BCS gets one of these two teams taking a loss...That and I think they were afraid of seeing Boise State take some one down...And TCU taking some one else down...That would make their stupid system look real bad...Well worse then it already does...

Cincinnati gets to take on Florida...They may have some trouble with the Gators defense...But they sure do know how to score points...I hope they make Tebow cry again...That's right Tim Tebow cried...I loved it!


I have to say, Saturday had some great games...Nebraska almost took down Texas...Pitt and Cincy had an awesome back and forth battle...But one I really enjoyed watching was USF at UConn...Anytime there's football and snow together...I'm watching it!

Sure there was no conference title at stake...It was just two schools playing for pride...And it was awesome...Another back and forth game where UConn won it on a last second field goal...I've been cracking on the Big lEast for a couple years now...But they've had some great games in conference this year...And it seems like the conference as a whole is getting stronger...

There was another game I was watching Saturday night...The Ohio High School, Division 1 State Championship...It was Cleveland Glenville vs Hilliard Davidson...If the Tarblooders of Glenville won...They would be the first Cleveland public school to win a state football championship...

The first half was a defensive battle...The strong defense continued in the second half...But late in the game Glenville went up 15-8...But the Wildcats of Davidson came back with lead by the legs of Quarterback Jake Trubiano, who rushed for 196 yards on 18 carries...The Wildcats scored with 1 minute and 4 seconds left...Then it was decision time...Go for the win, or the tie, and play for OT...Coach Brian White did what he did in 2006...They went for two...It paid off then, why not now...Trubiano took the ball in for the two-point conversion on a play they've never used in a game before..."It's the first time we've used it, but when we started practicing it a few weeks ago, coach said to me, 'This play will never fail,' " Trubiano said...

While I feel bad for the kids from Glenville, I gotta feel good for the kids from Hilliard Davidson...

On the NFL front...The Browns lost, of course...But at least their offense scored some points...My adopted team, The New England Patriots...They kinda looked Brownish, as they sh!t the bed again this week, losing a game they should have won...

I wanna go to bed now, but I can't leave without talking about Fatty Weis...I guess he missed the media being able to take shots at him...So he put his big fat ass back in the line of fire by talking shit about Pete Carroll...This is from interview transcript from IrishIllustrated.com senior editor Tim Prister...

Weis responded: "Let me ask you this question: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house? You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news.

"He's doing it in Malibu and it's not national news. What's the difference? I don't understand. Why is it OK for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I'm scrutinized when I swear. I'm sorry for swearing; absolve my sins."

Really Fatty? Way to air out another coaches dirty laundry...True or not, it's a douche bag move...

Carroll responded by saying, "It's untrue, it's irresponsible and it's incredible he'd be talking about me like that." Later after talking to Weis, Carroll said, "He apologized profusely for being represented wrongly. I'm not commenting anymore."

What Carroll should have said was, 'That fat F**k! He's just jealous cause nobody in heir right mind would want to f**k him...Christ he hasn't seen his d!ck since 1972, that fat piece of shit...Have another cheeseburger and die Charlie!'

Or something like that!

That's it for now...

Have a great week...
