Monday Moaning...On Tuesday

Yeah, I'm late to posting...Shit happens...So why the sexy Boba Fett?  Because Boba Fett is my Fantasy Hockey team's mascot, and my team came through with big win last week to jump my squad up top second in the division...The slow start is turning around....Ain't it Jeff!?!

Saturday started early for me, as I head to drive my oldest daughter about 40 minutes away for a Christmas Honor Band rehearsal...She was in the Summer Honor Band and really enjoyed it...It a group of kids from all over, they do a couple concerts, have them professionally recorded and get CD's...It's a cool experience, except for getting up at 7:00 AM on a Saturday...After that we hit the grocery store...

Then there was full family house cleaning, before I sat on my ass and watched the Fighting Irish take on Navy...Always a tough game for the Irish...Every year Navy gives them all they've got, and they did again this year...




The Irish come away with the win, but lost another Linebacker...Before the season Danny Spond retired for health reasons...Jarred Grace is out for the year with a broken leg...Ishaq Williams suffered a sprained ACL against Air Force...And now Ben Councell suffered a season ending knee injury...The injuries throughout the defense are piling up, but the LB depth has been devastated...Hopefully the rest of the crew can stay healthy and play strong...

Next, Hockey...Fucking Flyers...This past weekend they Flyers were getting throttled by Washington...At this point, it's late in the game and Washington is up 7-0...Holtby has got a shutout going...Good honest fight breaks out between Simmons and Wilson, then asshole goalie Ray Emery goes after Holtby...Anyone who knows hockey knows Emery is a boxer in pads...Take a look...




You are never going to hear me talking about getting rid of fighting in Hockey...But this right here was garbage...Just some bush-league shit that looks like a scene from "Slap Shot"...And of course, those animals in Philly loved every bit of it....Watch this video taken by a fan...




Of course these shit-dicks loved it...Their team sucks...They fired their head coach after 3 maybe 4 games, and made Craig Berube the new head coach...Berube who was a shit player, but knew how to throw around the knuckles...Well, way to go Flyers...Way to celebrate the fights, and Emery's bullshit move...That's fine, read the scoreboard...You fuck-tards still lost 7-0, you dumb fucking, inbred, assholes!  Rocky was just a movie character you fucking dolts!

What bothers me even more, is Emery wasn't suspended...The NHL keeps talking about player safety, and has added instigator penalties, but a goalie skating the length of the ice, unprovoked, and then starting the fight is okay?  Watch that fight again...Holtby didn't want it...He didn't have a chance and knew it...And all Emery wanted to do was beat on him...There is a point where Holtby is going down, again, and Emery lifts him up, so he can keep beating on him...Now the NHL is saying they're looking into a rule change for next year, where if a goalie leaves his zone for a fight he'll get 10 games, possibly less, just as the rule is for a player leaving the bench for a fight...

This all pisses me off because this is the same league that wrote the "Avery Rule" and put it into effect just days after this happened...




I love Hockey, but the NHL is so full of bullshit...Sean Avery is a dick, so he's not allowed to get into a goalies kitchen!   But a thug, half-assed goalie like Emery is allowed to jump Holtby  because he's pitching a shutout, while Emery and Mason gave up 7 goals...Bullshit!

I love the movie "Slap Shot" because it's a movie...If every hockey game was like that movie, I would have tapped out years ago...

The last thing I want to talk about is Northwestern's special uniforms....I'm all for being patriotic, and rocking the Red, White, and Blue...But giving it a blood splattered look seems over the top, and classless to me...

What do you think?

Have a week....

The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

Well, the World Series is set, and the Boston Red Sox are heading back there to take on the St. Louis Cardinals...And yeah, this household will be rooting for Mrs. Beeze's hometown Sox...Plus, I hate the Cardinals anyways!

I plan on keeping this post short...The Beeze is feeling beat up and tired...Friday, while at work, I was getting some stuff from a walk-in freezer, when a not well stacked, box of frozen duck breasts fell on my head...I was okay...My head hurt...And my neck and shoulder slowly started aching, but I finished the day...But the wife was up my ass to go to the ER and get checked out...So I did...A couple of Doctors checked me out...Their main concern was a concussion...My main concern was my neck...In the end, I'm okay, and was told, "You'll feel worse tomorrow, take lots of Advil." 

Yep, some cock-sucker went to college for 8 years to come up with that...It's all guess work in a white coat!

Friday evening I had promised to take my daughter and her friend to our local high school's football game...They were on the road this week, so we took a quick drive out to that...Our team was down 21-0 and had two players on their way to the hospital by the end of the 1st quarter...They got smoked...The final was 49-21, and the parents and fans on our side were going wild when out team started playing well on D and scoring in the 4th quarter...I just wanted to stand up and scream...'Relax people, it's our first string against their second and third stringers!'   I get being proud when your kids don't give up, but grab hold of some perspective...Your senior suddenly looks good, because the kid across from him is a sophomore...

We got home later then I wanted to, after stopping for a bite to eat...The place had a band that was doing all 80's covers, so I got a kick out of it, while the girls, not so much...I crashed in  my chair watching Louisville choke away their season to UCF...

Saturday I was suppose to finish redoing our garage roof with my buddy...Luckily it rained all damn day...The Garage work waited until Sunday...That all mixed with the constant run around with the kids has me wiped out...

Saturday night Notre Dame beat USC 14-10...A win is a win...And a win over USC is always good...The Irish defense carried the team, especially after QB Tommy Rees was knocked out of the game...The Irish coaches have said backup, Andrew Hendrix has the whole playbook, but it didn't look like that Saturday, as they barely let him throw...The few passes he threw were bad...The Irish kept it on the ground and tried to kill clock...Luckily, between the defense, and USC just not knowing who they are, the Irish pulled out the win...

There were plenty of upsets this in College Football...Checkout what UNCLE_B.O.B had to say...Also give TAGE a read, as he covered the Pats, Red Sox, College Football, the Mess at Grambling State, what a disgrace that is...and more...

I also want to share this...Very few people paid attention to the Miami (Ohio) and Akron game...Hell, I don't know who won...Let me look it up...Akron won 24-17...But you gotta see this fullback, just destroy this linebacker...





#43 from Miami is fucking wrecked...


The last thing I want to get into is Maxim Lapierre's dirty hit on Dan Boyle last week...




Lapierre only got 5 games for this...To me, that's bullshit...This guy is a repeat offender...Always talking shit...Always diving...And plenty of cheap shots...







And just ask Bruins fans about what a little asshole Lapierre is...The NHL has been talking tough about heads sots and hits from behind, and here is a guy who has a record, and he only gets 5 games...Fucking bullshit...

Not to mention, that Boyle is the second key guy on my fantasy team to be knocked out with a head injury...(Rick Nash is the other...Plus James Neal got hurt 4 minutes into the season...FML!)

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

The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

Yes dear, it's Monday and no one else is coming to help you...Just The Beeze!

So it's been a wild week...Your friendly, neighborhood Beeze turned 35 this past week, and even though I didn't the Gibson Trini-Lopez I wanted...The wife did surprise me with a Paul Westerberg, signature guitar...


Yep, the guitar room/man cave are also the play room...Then two days later, came the Little Beeze's birthday...Saturday at PUMP_IT_UP with 15 kids going wild! I was fearing that I'd be pulling my hair out, but the kids were well behaved, and the staff was great...The even had a party coordinator who took care of everything, including taking notes of who got what gift for the kid...By the way, he got hooked up by friends,(parents) uncles, and grandparents...After that it was home to put shit together, and play...

Then I had my fantasy Hockey draft...When I finished I felt good about my team...I started telling the kids my roster, as I picked them, round by round...They didn't give a shit, so I started being more obnoxious about it...When I got to Nathan Horton of the Bruins, Little Beeze stopped me and said, "Wait, that guy you just said, he sucks, he's a bitch!" I was shocked and laughing, and said, "WHAT!" (like Mel Gibson) and he said, "He sucks, he's a bitch, he's an asshole!" Then I really started laughing! I know some people may not find this funny, but we thought it was hilarious, and you're just too uptight...The kid is funny as hell!

After all that it was time to get them to bed, and watch football...In case you missed it, HERE'S my breakdown of this past weekend's college games...

A topic from the College Football world that popped up Sunday, and really pissed me off was that Boise State dropped from #3 to #4...I'm not saying Oregon isn't one of the top teams...I'm not saying they don't deserve to be #3...But how do you drop a team after they win 59-0...Yes it was a weak team, but they did what they had to do...While Ohio State had a tough time getting past Illinois...Now you know it's College Football season...The controversy is starting...

Now onto the Great White Hope, Peyton Hillis!

Yes, I said it, and no, you're not allowed to be offended...Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason, and the fact of the matter is, most running backs in the NFL are black...Just as for many years now, most quarterbacks are white...It is what is...But the Cleveland Browns are shaking things up, and breaking down walls...With Hillis now starting at Halfback, and Seneca Wallace starting at QB...Both are winning over the fans, and I'll tell you what...I'm almost ready to go buy a Hillis jersey...Dude is a beast, and this week he rushed for over a 100 yards for the second week in a row...Last week he put up 144 on the Ravens...This may be no big deal to some people, but this is the Browns we're talking about!

Hillis was overshadowed in College at Arkansas, mainly lead blocking for Darren McFadden, and Felix Jones...In that time he racked up 2,624 all-purpose yards...Not bad! And now he's showing his game can translate to the NFL...So far he's put up 322 yards on the ground, 94 yards receiving, and 4 TD's...I'm loving the power running game I've been seeing the last couple weeks...I hope he can keep it up...

Before I get out of here, I want to close with a song...This goes out to some special friends of mine...




Have a great week...

Later, The Beeze.
