We All Got Catfished

Yesterday DEADSPIN broke the shocking, and odd story, that the dead girl friend of Notre Dame star linebacker, Manti Te'o, wasn't real...She never died, because she never existed...The story is crazy...I read the Deadspin piece 3 times...Why?  Because it is a serious article, with serious allegations, and lots, facts and details...I watched the ND press conference last night...I've read everything I could find on this...It makes me want to puke...

For all the trash people sling at Deadspin, when they do a story like this, they get it right...Unlike Sports Illustrated, ESPN, and NBC, who all did stories on Te'o...They all sung his praises, and all talked about his relationship with this non-existent, dead girlfriend...None, did any investigating apparently...None did any real journalism...None, except the guys at Deadspin...This may be just me, but there are some people at ESPN, NBC, and Sports Illustrated, that need to be fired...

The story of Te'o losing his grandmother, and girlfriend, within 6 hours of each other grabbed people...Then he went out and played a stellar game against Michigan State...The next week against Michigan, he played even better, instead of attending his dead, non-existing, girlfriend's funeral...The Notre Dame student body, alumni, and fans across the country embraced Te'o completely...Hell, much of the college football viewing public found themselves captivated, and rooting for him...He had an great season, and fighting through the painful losses of loved ones was the driving force...

Then in the BCS Championship game, he played like a pile of shit...Maybe he had something on his mind? Notre Dame has since said he came to them just after Christmas, saying that he had been played, Catfished, whatever term you want to use...He found out December 6th...He told them after Christmas...They didn't say anything until the Deadspin story broke...Why such delay?

As much as I want to believe that Te'o got catfished...I can't...Read the DEADSPIN article...Closely...There are too many details to honestly believe that Te'o had nothing to do with this hoax...And if he really got Catfished...Fuck him...Because then he's just a really fucking stupid, idiot...Which would help my theory that Mormons aren't quite right in the head...

I knew I was going to have to write about  this...I was hoping I wouldn't have to rip Te'o...But I just can't buy his side of the story...Maybe I've become to cynical...Maybe I've just excepted that we should just assume the worst case scenario first...But really, what has the world given us lately to help us hold onto hope, and not think the worst?  Fucking, NOTHING!

As of now, I'm calling Manti Te'o fucking liar...An asshole...Clearly a little off in the head...He's fucked up...And he's lost a number of fans...If I'm right...If he is an asshole who was part of carfishing the public, I hope he blows out both of his knees at the NFL combine...I hope he feels some real loss in his life, not just pretend loss...Fuck Manti Te'o!

When ever there is a horrible tragedy, people say we need to get back to normal...We need to continue on...Yes, we need to continue on, but getting back to normal?  I think normal was throw out the window Friday morning...The idea of getting back to normal, I think that means, try to forget...Well, right now I can't forget...Now that families are releasing pictures of their children they lost, it's too hard to forget...And besides that, we shouldn't forget...We need to keep this fresh in our heads and hearts, so we can figure out how to stop this from ever happening again...

My full, emotional thoughts are HERE...But my emotions were elevated when I saw late Saturday night, that the Westboro Baptist Church fully intends to protest at Sandy Hook, and in Newtown...Their reasoning: this happened because gay marriage...I'm not even joking...These bastards are truly nuts...So I was happy to find out the group Anonymous has decided to ATTACK...I wouldn't say I'm a supporter of these Anonymous guys, but maybe now I should be...

Then, during Sunday night's vigil for the victims, When the President got up to speak, NBC flipped the Patriots/49ers gave over to NBC Sports and cut away to the President....The Twitterverse exploded with even more stupidity and hate...How dare the President speaking interrupt football....Again, I'm not joking..SEE for yourself...

First, if football means that much to you, be pissed at the network...Second, if football means that much to you, make sure you have all the necessary sports channels...Third, if football means that much to you, your life is empty...Fourth, you're assholes!

I have tried to keep things normal with the kids this weekend...Besides having to discuss what happened with the kids...And trying to explain how this could happen...I trying to tell them what they should do if something like this was to happen at their school...They don't put that shit in the parents handbook....

We set up our outdoor Christmas lights Saturday...Something you should know about my Molls...She loves snowmen...She has a old stuffed "Snowy" that she takes everywhere...But for some reason she refers to them all as "Yo-Yo"...I have no idea why, but that's her thing...He she is with my families Frosty...Now known as "Yo-Yo"...

That guy has been in our family since before I was born...And for the past few years he has guarded our front door...And Molls loves him...

Sunday morning I was in the car, going to get a haircut, and hit the store...I was listening to the Browns pregame hype fest...Holy shit, 3 wins in a row really gets Clevelanders cocky...They were all so sure the Browns were going to smoke the Redskins...Especially with RG3 not playing...And then it happened...The 'skins kicked them around like the Browns I know and don't love...And Browns fans, I hope your love affair with Josh Cribbs is over now...The guy has lost his return ability...He never could hack it at WR...Sad considering the stiffs that have been here with stone hands...Yeah, that means you too Little...Please Browns fans, don't beg for this guy to get a new contract...

And I did my part to try and help the winning streak...I stayed away from the game...I guess it wasn't me taking the kids ice skating during games that got those wins...

The bright spot in sports...At least for me...Because it was really the only bit of sports I paid attention to this week...Friday night Mount Union won the D-3 National Title, after beating St. Thomas (Minn) in the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl, 28-10...

The victory gave head coach Larry Kehres his 11th national title in 16 appearances in the Stagg Bowl...All have been in the past 20 years...In 27 seasons, his record is 332-24-3...Had Mount Union lost, it would have been the fourth Stagg Bowl loss in a row, and the Senior class would have been the first in 20 years without a Title...

Way to go Purple Raiders!

 

 

 

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

Yeah, that's about the best Browns relayed thing we're going to see this year...The Cleveland Browns opened their season at home, taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in what could only be described as The Toilet Bowl...


The Browns hit another milestone as this game started...Sunday, the Browns started Brandon Weeden at Quarterback...Their 17th QB since 1999...


Look at that list of shit...Just one bust after another, or castaway after another...Well Weeden fits right in...He ended the game with a 5.1 QB rating, after only completing 12 of 35, for 118 yards and 4 interceptions...And even after he sucked that bad, and #3 overall pick Trent Richardson wasn't very impressive, the Browns almost won...Yes, they lost 17-16...The Defense scored the Browns only touchdown...The defense was pretty damn good...They were all over Michael Vick's ass, all day long...Just kept drilling him...They also picked him off 4 times, but it wasn't enough...

Nothing sucks like watching your teams defense play their balls off, while the offense looks like fucking school girls...Weeden, a 28 year old rookie, looked like a 18 year old...So many bad throws...So many over-throws...Missed wide open guys...Just horrible...Anybody else thinking the Browns would have been better off betting the farm on RG3?


All he did for the Redskins was pass for 2 TD's and 320 yards, and also rushed for 42 yards...Good call Holmgren...Your star running back who missed most of the pre-season didn't do too much for ya...

Local media dolts were all clamoring when Trent Richardson put his head down and blew an Eagles defender's helmet off...Well, that was about it for Trent's highlights...One tough run, and then the Eagles locked him down...

We should have known...Browns once again came out in their stupid all white uniforms again...Where the hell have the brown jerseys been for all these years? Why not change the name to the Cleveland Whites? I bet that would piss off Al Sharpton!

Sunday, the rest of the NFL paid their respects to Art Modell...That didn't happen here in Cleveland...Why, well because people in Cleveland haven't gotten over Art Modell moving HIS team to Baltimore...And most of them refuse to acknowledge the FACTS...

Now normally this would be the part of the show where I would normally be pumping out some Notre Dame, and College Football talk...Well from now on I'll be posting my College Football Wrap_Up on Sundays...

Not to get too political, but I have always found the gay marriage topic, to be a bullshit issue...One of those distractions to keep us from paying attention to the important shit...I'm all for gay marriage...I actually go along with that line about "All men are created equal." Now if you're opposed to gay marriage, that's your right, to have that opinion...I think it's stupid, but oh well...

Then Maryland state delegate Emmett C. Burns Jr. got all up in arms because Ravens LB Brendon Ayanbadejo openly supports gay marriage...Thankfully Vikings punter Chris Kluwe TOLD Mr. Burns what an ass he is...I don't know where Kluwe stands on the economy, or defense, or medicare, but I know I'd vote for him if ran for public office, just because of the way he let Burns have it...The DC douchebags could use some real people in there, telling it like it is...

That's it for now...The wife leaves for her training this morning, and 2 of my 3 kids have colds, which should make this first of two weeks as a single dad, awesome!

Have a week...

Later, The Beeze.

Another Kid Touching Creep...

Unreal...It seems we can't go a couple weeks without some public figure in the sports world being outed for being a kid toucher...I saw it on DEADSPIN today that this fat ass Philadelphia Daily News Sports Columnist made a habit of getting his creep on with kids...Family members' kids, friends of his kids...Boys and girls both...

When I first saw him on ESPN's "The Sports Reporters" I knew right away, I hated him...I just assumed it was because he was a Philly guy...We all know how I hate Philly sports/fans...So their reporters have to be assholes as well, right? I guess so...At least this one...It doesn't matter what the fuck he ever wrote about sports in Philly...Read those accounts in Deadspin, and you'll hate the fat bastard too...

And for the parents who found out, and just gave him a stern warning, and kept their kids away from him from then on...You're assholes too...The damage was already done, and you didn't do enough...How you don't get the police involved, I just don't understand...Actually, I don't understand why no one killed him...Let me make this clear...Anyone ever messes with any of my kids, they're dead...And no one will ever find the body.

Brett Favre's Penis and ESPN's Silence

(hehee, I showed her my junk!)

So "DEADSPIN" started the rumors back in August...Now they have voice mails and pictures...Voice mails and pictures Favre sent to JENN_STERGER ...Pictures of his cock...If you listen to the voice mails, you gotta feel sorry for the guy...Dude has no game! If you see the pictures, you gotta feel bad for the guy...Now we know why he wears #4...If you're going to show it off, it better be impressive...

Oh, you haven't seen or heard this shit yet...HERE_YA_GO!

Now I know that "DEADSPIN" is known for being more of a tabloid style, sports site, but they do get plenty of things right...And really, that does sound like Favre on those voice mails...Then today, "DEASPIN" put up THIS_LIST of what other media outlets were saying about the story...

Two things stood out to me...First, Jason Whitlock's ARTICLE on this situation...Now I'm not a fan of all this sexual harassment garbage that goes on these days...If it wasn't for a little workplace sexual harassment, I wouldn't have a wife...That's right people, Mr. and Mrs. Beeze hooked up at work...A little sexual innuendo here, a little grab ass there,a little sex on the bar...Boom! Married two kids and another on the way!

But nonetheless, it's something that's out there...She was an employee of the Jets, and so was he...So the Jets and the NFL should be taking a long look at this...But something tells me Brett won't be treated as harshly as the countless other NFL players who have screwed up in recent years...

The second thing that stood out to me...ESPN, and their complete and total silence on this topic...I mean hell, they cover the Brett Favre off-season, drama queen act religiously, but now when the dirt starts flying, they go silent...Nothing online, nothing on the radio, nothing TV...I guess they're going with that theory of 'If we just ignore it, it'll go away.' Or maybe their big ego has them playing the, 'If we don't cover it, it's not really news' card...Of course they can't say anything bad about their golden boy!

Once again, "The world wide leader" shows that they're the "world wide leader" in bullshit!

I hope Favre's wife leaves him, and takes a shit-ton of his money...I hope Jets players mock his little dick all night long, during Monday Night's game...I hope he is fined and suspended...I hope ESPN turns on him...Then I can right another blog about what tools they are...I would normally hope for an injury, but I'd rather see him mocked all season long, and spend his nights alone, weeping in the corner, using his tears as lube, while he pulls on his little pud, screaming 'WHY JENN! WHY!?!'
