I was listening to Opie Radio this morning on SiriusXM...The genius that is Bill Burr called in to promote his stand-up show that will be coming to MSG this Fall...It classic Boston comic fashion, to get the special pre-sale tickets Burr made the password for the MSG show, "Larry Legend 33"....Hilarious!
Bill Burr also got off some quality rants about the NFL going after Tom Brady and the Patriots...Something he does often on his Monday Morning Podcast...During his rant, shredding all of the the NFL, he gave all the listeners a tip...A great website...YOUR TEAM CHEATS...Yep, everyone is doing it!
Seriously, use the link...
Every single team has a ranking based off their cheating...All of the incidents of cheating are verified...This site does their due diligence...
The Patriots weren't the first, or only team to get busted for "Spygate"...Just the one we heard about, and that got blasted in the media...The Saints weren't the only team to have a "Bountygate"...
There have been "Contractgate's"..."Salarycapgate's"..."Practicegate's"..."Tamperinggate's"..."Headsetgate's"..."PEDsGate's"..."Noisegate's"..."Steroidgate"..."Injurygate"..."TextGate"...The Colts had "SuckForLuckGate"...You name it, there's a fucking "gate' for it...and at least one NFL team has done it...Kind of makes this whole "Deflategate" shit seem even more silly!
Not only does this whole under-inflated footballs things seem fucking stupid to me, but what YourTeamCheats.com also shows, is how the NFL picks and chooses which violations it pimps out to the media, to push the narrative that the NFL wants...Besides that, it shows that the NFL doesn't treat all infractions the same, punishment wise...It seems each team is treated differently based on the Goodell's whim...
Over the last couple years I have had an epic hatred growing for the NFL...The league's tax exempt status, while it makes billions of dollars...Paying Commissioner Goodell a salary of over $44 million in 2012...The league trying and sometimes succeeding in ruining the doctors that found CTE in former players, and have linked it to the constant head trauma players deal with...Then there is the seemingly non-stop criminal activity of NFL players...Domestic violence, drug use, assault, DUI's, gun charges, and on and on...
But the NFL doesn't want any of these things talked about...So they push a story about under inflated footballs, and attack a league icon, so they can be perceived as tough on crime! The NFL is the definition of hypocrisy!
I haven't even read it yet...I caught blurbs on Twitter, and saw it was released by the NFLPA...So here you go...Let's read it together and we can chat it up in the comment section...
That right there is the only Lion activity I'll discuss...Seriously, between the news media, and social media, I've had enough...Yes, dick-bag hunters illegally killing Lions for sport is fucking horrible...But wake the fuck up people...DO you know how many children are starving every day in Africa? Do you know how many people are withering away in refuge camps because they have fled their villages, because extremists have been going full-blown genocide on them? Fuck the lions...Although, the lion above wants to fuck Dorothy....
....
And shit, that's just in Africa...Have you noticed how many people are being killed for no good-goddamn reason here in America...But everyone is on Twitter and Facebook pissing and moaning about a lion...Tell me how much you'll give a shit about that fucking lion when your kid, or sister, brother, cousin, mother, or father gets shot...Have I made my point? FUCK THE LION!
....
Okay, lets move on...Last week I posted THIS, in which I threw in a reference to a yet unresolved physical incident Dez Bryant had with his mother...His mother...Such a classy guy, of course the Cowboys gave him a $70 million deal...Sunday, Bryant got into it with teammate Tyler Patmon...They both ripped each other's helmets off...There was shit-talking scuffling, and Bryant threw a punch...And of course, as we have seen from sideline clips, he couldn't stop...Bryant kept going and teammates couldn't contain him...It wasn't until Tony Romo got in his face and said whatever he did, that Bryant calmed down...Eventually Patmon and Bryant resolved things, and it was all chalked up to "loving the game" and competing hard...
I don't care what anyone says...Bryant is talented as hell, but he's a problem...
I also posted THIS last week, about Russell Wilson getting his contract extension worked out with the Seahawks...There are a lot of people who hate on Wilson, and I don’t quite get it…In a sport that can be so detrimental to your health, a player getting the guaranteed money that he did, doesn’t happen, when it really should…The guy wins…He didn’t let his whore ex-wife distract his game…He does serious charity work, and he spends time with kids in the hospital, EVERY single week…I’m glad he got his…And I suspect, in a couple years he’ll restructure his contract for the good of the team…
While my friend B.O.B. has a built in dislike for the city of Seattle, my rain-filled, cloudy sky soul has a soft spot for the city…I love how the Seahawks built their team, defense first…They have hit on talent in all rounds of the draft, including Wilson…This team, no matter how good the defense, wouldn’t have done what they have, with Matt Flynn at QB...
A good guy...A class guy...A hard working, winner like Wilson getting a $87 million deal, with $60 million guaranteed, makes a helluva lot more sense then a guy like Bryant getting a $70 million deal...
- The Eagles traded DB Brandon Boykin to the Steelers...Then Boykin made a statement about Eagles coach Chip Kelly being uncomfortable around "men of our culture"...Which everyone in the media spun into 'Kelly is a racist!' Sunday Boykin was backpedaling from what he said, trying to explain what he meant...
"I said he was uncomfortable with men of our culture. I'm not saying he's a racist at all. That's not what I said and I think it was kind of taken out of context. When you're a player, you want to be able to relate to your coach no matter what outside of football...I want to be able to sit there and talk to you about whatever. There were times he just wouldn't talk to people. You were walking down the hallway and he wouldn't say anything to you."
Considering Kelly is 51 years old, and has been around football his whole life...And has played with and coached players of all races and creeds, I have a hard time thinking the guy is a flat-out racist...Boykin's thoughts and comments make me think it's more about him being an oversensitive little cunt...The guy is your coach...He's not there to be your friend...This isn't little league mother fucker...You're in a league that makes BILLIONS of dollars...Coaches make millions, and need to win to keep making millions...
Listen Boykin, you fucking child...Look up the 1980 U.S. Olympic Hockey Team...They pulled off teh biggest upset in sports history, and it was because of America's greatest coach...Herb Brooks...
Boykin, you want your boss to be your friend, get a fucking job landscaping...Grow the fuck up you overpaid twat!
- Now, since I have covered some football here in this post, I guess I have to touch on this so-called "Deflate-gate" and the idiot Commissioners ruling on Tom Brady...First...I hate how this country's lazy media throws "gate" on the back end of a word to describe a controversy...All because of Dick Nixon and Watergate...But Watergate was the name of the fucking building...It wasn't a great water controversy...Assholes...
Second...I'm sick of the whole goddamn story, because it stinks of trumped up bullshit...Goodell and his minions are bad news for the NFL...
Third...Baltimore Raves fans, and even though they are denying it now, management and coaches...Anyone using the phase, "the Patriots get away with murder," needs to take along look in the mirror, and then shoot themselves in the fucking head....You people spent years swinging on Ray Lewis' dick...Ray Lewis who was present for two murders...Possibly helped...and definitely obstructed justice...You all, also fully supported Jamal Lewis and his drug dealing exploits...And then you were all behind Ray Rice, at least until the world collectively gasped as we watched that one punch knockout of his wife...Fuck the hell off, every last living one of you Ray Lewis loving, cock-suckers!
Fourth...Fuck Colts Owner/crybaby Jim Irsay, you drunk driving asshole, rules committee bitch, who cries constantly because your team can't get it done...Oh, and then there was the year your franchise tanked the season so they could draft Andrew Luck...Look in the mirror before you cry cheater...
Fifth...In the sport of football, the ball is a piece of equipment...the NFL's policy for an equiptment violation has been a $25,000-$50,000 fine for the offending player...Never fining a team, or taking draft picks away...Every thing about this case has seemed like a WITCH-HUNT...
That's all I have to say about this fucking idiotic story...
Gate - "A gate or gateway is a point of entry to a space enclosed by walls, or a moderately sized opening in some sort of fence."
Yes people, that is the definition of "Gate"....It doesn't mean, 'lets add it to the end of every possible conspiracy ever'....Back in the tricky Dick Nixon days Watergate became a big thing...A big crime...a big story...But it was called Watergate, because that was the name of the damn building where it happened....
So when you talk about the New England Patriots underinflated footballs and call it "Deflate-Gate," you sound like a fucking idiotic asshole! Just as you did when you called the Patriots spying shit "Spy-gate"...Or the Saints bounty plan being called "Bounty-gate"...Or every other conspiracy over the last 4 decades...Seriously people, read a dictionary...But while I'm at it, why didn't they call that Ray Rice mess, "Woman Beating-Gate?"
Stop with the "Gate Bullshit"!
And no, Ballgazi isn't any better...Sure it hasn't been beaten to death for 4 decades, but it really has the idiotic political overtone of trying to blame President Obama for it...Anything he does gets a "gazi" thrown on it now, he doesn't need the Patriots balls on his head too...
And yes, I said President Obama...I'm not sure when it started but I'm sick of hearing and reading people referring to the President as juts "Obama"....At first, it seemed like it was just a Republicans?Conservative way of disrespecting him...But I have heard it on the left too...Some of the President's biggest supporters regularly, simply refer to him as "Obama"...I don't care if you like him or not...Agree or not...I was always taught, and believe you respect the office...Even if you are opposed to the man...Average Joe doing it doesn't surprise me...But so-called journalist doing it makes me sick...Truly respectable journalism is dying away at a frighteningly rapid pace...
-Okay, Let me get into a little sports...Saturday the NHL had it's All-Star Skills competition...Sunday was the game, but that's always a joke...The skills competition is all about the players having fun, and the fans getting a look in at not just the fun, but some skills as well...Columbus, Ohio has become a good hockey town, as was pumped for this weekend...And Columbus Bluejackets Center Ryan Johansen made the place go crazy during the Breakaway Challenge...It's become their version of the Slam Dunk contest, where the guys like to get creative...Here's his first shot....
The fans in Columbus ate that shit up...But I was really impressed with his second effort...
The kid is the son of one of the Bluejackets trainers...Just an awesome moment...Former Bluejacket Jakub Voracek didn't want to be out done, so he tried the same move with his own little guy...
But in the end Johansen won...The other big story from the Skills Competition was Shea Weber winning the hardest shot contest with 108.5 miles per hour...It was a bit easier for Weber this year, without Chara being there, who holds the record with 108.8 mph...
Now, as I said the All-Star game is a joke...No Defense, no hitting...Goalies getting hung out to dry...I was at work and didn't see the game...Luckily, the NHL broke down the tape...Here's all 29 goals in a minute and a half...
If you can watch more clips of the skills competition, do it...Then watch some hockey...Any hockey...Junior, AHL, high school, NHL...It's better then basketball...And the week of bullshit leading up to the "Super Bowl" is just that...Don't waste your time...Tune it all out until Kickoff on Sunday...Fill that time with hockey...
That's this week's public service message...Now, one last video....The Mrs. and I took Molls out with us to eat Saturday evening...The other two didn't want to come, and the oldest had a friend over...So it was just the three of us...And the little girl was cracking me up...I hope you enjoy this as much as I do...
