Freedom of Speech...Not So Much
After finishing this week's MONDAY MOANING, I did as I always do, went to link it on my Facebook page...It is also setup to auto feed into our YouGabSports Facebook Page...But it didn't feed in...And when I tried to link it on my "wall" this is what I got...
It didn't happen with other things I linked...Just Monday Moaning...Now when I link on Facebook, what I post can only be seen by my "Friends"...I have my shit setup pretty secure...The only other place I link is a "private group" of former Sporting News bloggers...So the post is not out there for getting into everyone in the world's feed...So it bothers me that person/persons considered a "friend" would report my posts as "Abusive"...If you don't like it, don't read it...Even better, if it bothers you, you can block it...Unfriend me, and even block me...I've blocked tons of fuckers! It's just like TV or radio...You don't like what's on, turn it off!
But we live in this oversensitive, cry if I don't like something, because it's not politically correct, pussified fucking world...And all companies do what the crybabies wish...Even if it is only 1-2 people out of my whole list of "Friends"...
As expected I have had no help from Facebook support, because as we all know, support from any company these days sucks balls!
Since I started blogging 8 years ago, I have always found myself under attack, because I don't always take the popular view...And I definitely don't take the PC view...And honestly, I never minded taking on those fights...It gave me more material to rant with...But I'm sick of this shit...Last I checked, Facebook was an American company...America which offers us all the FREEDOM OF SPEECH...And last I checked, the Internet was suppose to be this glorious place filled with free speech and free thought...But it's all being overrun with crybabies...
I tried to link a blog from MY website, onto MY Facebook page, and I was blocked...Seriously...WHAT THE FUCK!?! Some one explain how this type of retardation goes on!
I've heard all the criticism before...I've been told I objectify women by using the pictures I do at the beginning of each Monday Moaning...But that folks, is just plain ole, BULLSHIT...The pictures I use are of Models, Actresses, and other women who freely post these pictures of themselves for all to see...I am celebrating these women...Celebrating their beauty, sex appeal, strength, boldness, and maybe adding to viewers Spank Bank...I am not objectifying these women or any women...You are...Because you are insecure in yourself, your beliefs, your looks, your character, your strength...
Just because your beliefs/opinions and my beliefs/opinions are different, does not mean you are wrong...Or that I am wrong...It doesn't mean either one of us has a higher moral ground...We just see things differently...What happened to discussion? What happened to debate? Instead, this fucking world has bypassed the good that can come out of that, and now goes straight to "REPORT ABUSE."
I don't force my views on anyone...You have the option to click the link or not...You have the option to out click if you don't like it...You have the option to read on, and challenge my views in the comment thread...But instead, you choose to force your views on me anonymously with your asshole, crybaby, tactics...
I use to love the power and reach of the Internet and all the technology so easily at our fingertips...I'm not sure I have that same love...Is it wrong to wish for the 1950's and 60's era...Yeah, there were problems then too...This country was racist as fuck...But honestly, it still is...
But people didn't cry every time they didn't like something, or their views/beliefs were challenged...They debated...They discussed...They stood up for what the felt and believed, marched, protested, burned their draft cards, burned their bras, they were engaged...Today they just anonymously click "REPORT ABUSE" and move on to the next thing they don't like.

Monday Moaning
There are a few things I have to write about this week...A couple we will discuss here, and another will be given it's own post...The first thing I am going to touch on is comedian Louis CK and his appearance Saturday on Saturday Night Live...Twitter was exploding Saturday during the broadcast, and Sunday morning the Internet was covered with columns, and blogs, and blurbs about how offensive Louis CK's monologue was...It appears Louis wasn't afraid to poke fun at three hot-button issues, as well as himself....Racism, the Middle East (Israel included) and Child Molesters...Here's the clip if you want to watch...
I have two problems with those getting upset about Louis CK's jokes...
1. He's a comedian telling jokes...You may not laugh at the same things as everyone or anyone...Just as we all don't like the same movies, music, politics, food, you name it...Everyone has their own tastes...It's comedy, not Maw and Order where every fucking episode is the same!
2. It's SNL...This use to be the place that did ground breaking comedy...The place where the envelope was pushed...Where it made you laugh, cringe, and think...I was happy to see them pushing again, because to be honest, with the exception of a skit here and there, the show has sucked for a number of years...
The Child Molestation shit really got people touchy...(pun intended)...Maybe you twats should go back through the archives and look up SNL in the early years, when they had a character named "Uncle Roy"...He was a babysitting pervert, who not only did creepy shit with young girls, but in the end, he won...He didn't get busted...Finding video is hard because SNL has gotten so soft...But here is a clip of the Opie and Jimmy show...Early in the show they are talking about SNL, and then some characters Jimmy does, which lead to discussion of "Uncle Roy...At 14 minutes and 20 seconds they play the sketch and give you play-by-play...It was a whole lot worse then what Louis CK said...
Uncle Roy is a fucking creep...But no matter how cringing something is, I'm not going to complain about it being on TV or radio, or whatever...I believe in freedom of speech, even speech I don't agree with...I also believe in something just as powerful...
The remote control! You don't like it, turn it the fuck off cunts!
And one last thing to all those bitching and tweeting about what a monster Louis CK is...Guess what, you're talking and writing about him...He won!
- Next, the stupid Patriots underinflated balls story kept getting air-time all week...And looking at it all closely, I have to say, When the fuck is Robert Kraft going to sue the NFL? Their idiot report clears the Patriots organization of wrongdoing, yet Goodell fined the team a million dollars, and ripped them of two draft picks...Doesn't really make sense...And the main reason they say Brady is guilty is because he didn't give them his phone for them to look at texts...A phone they had no legal ground to ask for....I do remember another investigation (with no legal standing) that asked Roger Goodell to give his phone and he refused....So why the fuck is this guy still the commissioner!?!
If Brady just would have punched a women, beat a kid, raped a girl, and covered up a murder, he'd be fine....
Fuck them all...I'm done with this topic now, and I'm done with the fucking asshole NFL!
- Okay, on a much more important topic...Sunday Cleveland had it's annual Marathon...Yes, we have a marathon...As long as I've been a live...It doesn't get the hype or the fanfare of some of the other marathons...We're a smaller city, and we aren't always mugging for the camera....Don't give me your shit New York and Boston, we all know you love the spotlight, and you know you're a little fucking annoying sometimes...
Honestly I don't really pay attention to any marathon...they're kind of boring to watch...But a friend of mine Brendan Goers was working down there and snapped a pic and posted it on facebook...
Yep, those are Firefighters running in full gear...26.2 miles...a high of 82 degrees with 64% humidity...I was blown away by how, as my friend described them, "Badass" these guys are...I had to dig into it a bit...
They had the full gear, including the 40 pound pack on their backs...The only exception they made was running shoes...Why did they do this? to raise awareness and money for ALS...One of these guys dad has the awful disease...The Parma Heights Firefighters raised over $15,000 for ALS...That's fucking awesome!
Screw your ice water challenge...Run a marathon in full firefighter gear....That's a fucking challenge...I shit on things in Cleveland area often...But I was proud as hell Sunday seeing this.
That's it for now...But more to come this week...
Have a week.

Monday Moaning
Welcome to another edition of Monday Moaning...Clearly the top two topics in sports have been the NFL's two star running backs who are both complete pieces of shit...Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson...We heard enough about Rice...Then we found out Peterson beat his 4 year old son with a "Switch"....Now I'll never be the guy to say, "you don't spank kids." If I fucked up big time, my dad gave a me a couple across the ass with a belt...My mom broke a wooden spoon on my brother's ass...But like I said, it had to be serious...Like the the time I called the operator and said there was a fire somewhere there wasn't...When you have uncles that are cops and fire fighters, that gets you and instant ass-whoopin'...The old man left work early for that one! I was also 10 or 11 and knew better...
Peterson cracked his kid (4 years old) at least 14 times...Bruises, welts, cuts...Injured the kids junk for God's sake...That's way too far...My son took a marker to the walls, lamp shades and one of my Guitars when he 4...He got a couple hands swats across the ass...He got the point...Well the point got across well when I saw my guitar, the last thing I noticed...And I punched a hole through a wall...When he found out I was that pissed, markers stayed on paper...
But seriously...The NFL was taking enough heat already this year...For fuck's sake 32 players were suspended for opening weekend...I don't think they really want this for a PR poster...
Had to do it!
Honestly...I'm not just talking shit...I'm done with the NFL...I will finish out my fantasy football seasons, because I have talked too much shit not to stick it out...But I just can't support this fucking asshole league full of criminals, and run by greedy fucking shit-dicks who will try to turn a blind eye to this shit, and try to keep it from the public...Fuck them all...Eat y ass!
And the NCAA isn't far behind, as they tried to slip THIS news past us last week...Two years of noo university cover-ups and no child rape apparently makes up for 20 years of Jerry Sandusky running wild, fucking kids on the Penn State campus!
I was happy to see that Not just me and IHM aren't willing to let go of this...The good fans at Rutgers let PSU fans know what's up...
Might not be classy...But it's classic!
But the topic that got me fired up late Saturday night...A fellow Clevelander on twitter decided to bash the Indians, and he tweeted his thoughts at the Indians and at second baseman, Jason Kipnis...He was upset the Indians lost to the Tigers...You know me, I'm all for bashing teams and players...What I'm not for is assholes crying about it when an athlete gives it right back to them...
Dude dogged the tribe for being 5 games behind the Tigers...The Indians, a team full of scrubs, just trying to grind it out...5 games behind the bought and not developed Tigers...Fuck off dude...Kipnis defended the heart, and play of his teammates...Here's a taste...
Tom Horsman @TomHorsman "And we wonder why only 9,000 people show up to Indians game in September. This team is pathetic. @Indians @TheJK_Kid"
Jason Kipnis @TheJK_Kid
"@TomHorsman Pardon my language but you're a fucking idiot.. This team competed it's ass off tonight and played a great game."
Kipnis continued..."I get it..You can be frustrated. We got guys underachieving, not playing well, no ones hot and no real mashers, AND WERE STILL IN THIS THING"
"So don't ever question this teams heart or effort.. You should want over achievers! That means they have a pulse and give a damn each game!"
So of course the media had to chime in and give Kipnis crap for speaking his mind...And of course many fans were unhappy too...
Wait a minute...You, you, and you, and you, and me, we can whatever the fuck we want about these guys...And now, because of social media, we can basically say this shit to them....Then you're gonna cry foul when dude calls you a fucking idiot!?! Sorry people but we are going to hang out hats on freedom of speech, then so can athletes and celbritards...You don't like, fuck off! Why are you held to a higher standard? If you'r going to talk shit, you need to be prepared to get it back...
Bunch of fucking children!
Goddamn Clevelanders...You know why only 9,000 people go to Indians games in September...Because baseball plays a fuck ton of games and that shit adds up...80 home games ain't cheap! And well, the economy in this town sucks my balls...Oh, then you need to remember this is Cleveland...Friday, Saturday, and Sunday means football...High school, college and the shitty Browns will win out against most anything...Yes, even the Browns...15 years of constant bad decisions and ticket price increases, and this dolt filled fanbase won't stop throwing their money at them....Fuck you, I know they won Sunday...They always pull out a few wins each year...Don't get too hard too soon, you'll blow your load too fast dummies!
Fuck!
Have a week...I'm tired...
The Beeze.

Monday Moaning
I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July...Ours was good...Had some real good quality time with the kids...Saturday we visited my in-laws...That was rough...My father-in-law, while some things have improved, some things have gotten worse...Like the fact that he didn't know me...He asked my wife who I was...Then in the car, taking them to lunch, he asked if we had met before...I told him yes...He apologized, and I told him not to worry about it...Two minutes later he asked me if we had met before, again...Eventually, he accepted me...He didn't remember me, but he knew I was suppose to be there...It's a rough spot to see him in knowing how sharp he use to be...It was hard on my wife, but I told her, "he remembers you, that's important." He has no recollection of Molly, but he was going downhill since just before she was born...He never had a chance to make memories with her...it didn't stop her from giving hi big hugs when we left...
It ended up being an exhausting day...Then after we got home, we had to rush the puppy, Finnegan to the pet ER...He got stung by a bee in his paw...It swelled up, and he couldn't put weight on it...And tried biting anyone who tried to look at it...They took care of him quick, and he's doing fine...($124 later)...
You may be feeling what you felt Thursday when I posted THIS ...Just not feeling the Sports right now...I'm watching Baseball, and I'm falling in love, just like last year, with what the Pittsburgh Pirates are doing...They're fun and exciting to watch...
I had thought about writing about the NHL free agency madness...Now I can sit here and read all the idiot contracts given to defensemen who scored 5 goals and 13 assists, and pick apart what were good and bad moves...(most bad)...By I'm interested in that...A lot of people aren't...And it's even kind of boring to write about...
I could get into Brown WR Josh Gordon getting arrested for DUI as he's sitting there with 2 strikes against him from the NFL...But why? To say what we all knew already...He's a fucking idiot...A fucking 4 time loser who is pissing his talent and NFL career away...Maybe it's just me, but I'm just tired of reading and writing about athletes and their egos that have it all, but are just too fucking stupid to control themselves...
I could write about the buzz swirling here in Cleveland about the hopes of LeBron James coming back...But I hate basketball and if you've read my crap over the last 8 years, you know I've always hated the self proclaimed king...Long before "The Decision"...
But there's something that has gotten under my skin this 4th of July weekend...Anthony Cumia of the Opie and Anthony show was fired...Not for anything he said or did on the air...He was fired for exercising he freedom of speech on twitter...
Last week he was snapping pictures in New York city...He got pictures of lights, buildings, a tranny getting arrested, random shit going on in the city late at night...In one was a black women was snapped...Instead of talking to him about it, since it clearly bothered her, she called him a "white mother fucker" and began punching him...She punched repeatedly...He never hit back...He didn't pull his legally carried gun...Instead he tweeted his rage...He called her a "savage", an "animal" and a "cunt face"...He tweeted about the jump right to violence often seen in the black community...(I think its a problem in our entire society)...He tweeted numerous times, and some would be considered racial offensive...But more importantly he was talking honestly, brought on by anger, about a topic that everyone says we need honest discussion about, but whenever it's brought up, it's squashed immediately...
So first, stop saying you want honest discussion about race in this country...Because clearly a large portion of the black community doesn't want to, and a large portion of the white guilt driven media doesn't...
Second, I have listened to O&A for ten years...It's one of the only shows that will talk about ANYTHING honestly...Anthony has been called racist before, and has said racial harsh things before...I would say he's actually said more "offensive" things on the air...But in this country, if you say something that some have deemed "offensive" you automatically called racist, or sexist, or an asshole, or whatever the case may be, instead of your actions or words being taken as you wanting to get to the issue, and possibly get to a resolution...
Third, freedom of speech is dying, and its dying quickly...Everyone is afraid to speak their mind for fear that one weak-minded, low self-esteem having, twat will get upset...Then they'll beat the drum to try and ruin your life for what you said...Radio guys, TV talking heads, actors, they're just the start...Comedians will be next...Oh no a joke hurt some ones feeling...Your career is over! But just wait...It will start happening at your office or whatever shitty job you and I have...Some dick-bag won't like that joke you made about Jews...You'll go for the quick comeback punch line, 'If you cant take the heat, get out of the oven!'
BOOM....FIRED!
I don't care if you agree with Anthony Cumia or not...Sometimes I don't, sometimes I do...But we should all back him up in his right to speak his mind freely...I don't agree with a lot of awful shit said in this country, by a lot of fucking assholes, but I will always support their right to say their idiot shit...Fuckers are just making me look smarter...
I know kids...The Beeze has been a little salty and not bitching about sports...I'm in a different place right now, and I want this country, and this world to be better place for my kids...Honestly, some days, this is the only thing that keeps me from choking some fuckers out....
I figure that's a nice note to end on...Have a week...
The Beeze.

Monday Moaning
Happy Monday folks...I hope everyone got some moaning done this weekend...So for awhile I've been disconnected from news and sports, but all the Donald Sterling coverage got me warmed back up...But it wasn't just Sterling being a dope...It was the fact that a private conversation got this guy in trouble...But there is more...How the Internet has changed us...I blasted off a few thoughts HERE ...
So Sterling is in trouble with the NBA for a private conversation...But last I checked, No one has said a word about ESPN's Stuart Scott tweeting that Blacks and Hispanics can't be racist...Only Whites...1. Bullshit...2. Why is everyone so quiet about it...Yet a guy who working for Video game developer Turtle Rock was fired for this tweet...
I don't know if I would use the word victim...But I don't think the guy is actually wrong...Nor should he have been fired...This was Turtle Rock's statement...
"The comments made by our former community manager stand in stark contrast to our values as a game development studio. We sincerely apologize for his remarks and in no way endorse or support those views."
REALLY!?! You make first-person shooter games...You're all good with promoting and selling violence, but your employees can't have an unpopular opinion about an old bigot...Can't speak their mind...That's some stupid shit!
Then We saw Twitter explode with "#Nigger" trending because PK Subban scored a game winning 2OT goal to beat the Boston Bruins...Everyone felt the need to speak out about it...You know what...Assholes are going to be assholes no matter what...Freeze their Twitter account...Attack them back on twitter (taking the bait)...it doesn't matter...They're an asshole, and most likely they're set in their asshole ways...No matter how much you get upset, they're not changing...Let the idiots say their stupid shit...Try this wacky idea...Ignore the idiot asshole!
Then in game 2 Subban broke a out a cheap shot...No the first time...Won't be the last... HERE's a good post about it...Yeah...It was covered on the Gab, but most of the sports media has stayed away...WHY? Because everyone is so damn afraid to say anything negative about about a black person, because in this day and age, you are automatically attacked as a bigot, or racist, or insensitive...And some one will bring up slavery...Well listen...It's 2014...Slavery was fucking evil, but it's been long fucking gone...Slavery has had zero fucking impact on PK Subban life...So I'm not afraid to say, they guy is a cheap shot artist...Just like white boy Matt Cooke, (who should be out of hockey, and beaten within an inch of his life)...Subban is talented, but will play dirty, and will turtle anytime some one of equal size or bigger challenges him to drop the gloves...I'm not saying this because he's black and I'm white...I'm saying this because I fucking watch hockey!
And for anyone who is unhappy because I subtly said I'm sick of hearing about slavery...Well, I am...My white, Irish, Hungarian, Croatian ancestors didn't own slaves...Had nothing to do with it...My Father doesn't owe shit...My dead Grandfather doesn't owe you shit...I don't owe shit, just like no one owes me shit...My Irish ancestors, like most when they first came to America were treated like shit...They struggled...By they made it through...My Grandfather and Father didn't bitch all these years later about "NINA" signs (No Irish Need Apply)...Do you know why the Irish have a long/proud tradition in Fire Departments and Police Departments across this country...Because no one else wanted those jobs...No one else wanted their life on the line every day...But the Irish need work...So they took the jobs...
People in the media keep saying we need to have an open and honest discussion about race in this country...But everyone is too damn afraid of offending everyone to have that talk...Which is fucking sad, because Saturday at work, the guys in the kitchen and I were having a great talk about it all...White guys, Black guys, Hispanic guys...No one got upset...No one threw punches...Everyone had their say, and everyone understood each other...And everyone thought Sterling's girl was just a dirty gold-digging bitch...
It's not that hard America...Supposedly we have Freedom of Speech...Use it...Don't be afraid of it...
Have a week...
The Beeze.

PC Police Run-a-Muck
This was the Oklahoman's headline after the Thunder lost to Memphis...Calling Kevin Durant "Mr. Unreliable"....
The following day, The Oklahoman apologized...
WHY!?! The guy plays well in the regular season...And doesn't bring it home in the playoffs...
This is what we have become...A newspaper calls out a star player...and then almost immediately takes it back...Everyone is now walking on egg shells...Everyone is afraid to be honest...Afraid to tell the truth...Afraid to have a real opinion...
This comes just days after the NBA banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling because of racist remarks he made in private...Donald Sterling is an old, asshole racist...He has had a clear history of this...But the NBA did nothing for years...Then Sterling was at home, arguing with a young, gold-digger, who without his knowledge, was recording his every word...And if you actually take the time to listen to the recordings, she was baiting him into the racist remarks...He said awful shit...Personally, I hate the guy...But as an American, as a person, who is tired of freedom of speech being under attack, I have to say this is bullshit...
I'm not sure why this bitch isn't arrested for illegally recording Sterling...But most importantly, it was private...We can't start firing people for what they say in the privacy of their own home...I'd like to ask NBA players, officials, GM's, coaches, and owners, would you feel comfortable with some one recoding everything you say at home, without your knowledge, and then selling it to TMZ?
Are you sure there isn't any awful or embarrassing shit you may say, that you would hate for the public, or family, or friends to hear?
How about you Average American? How about the readers of this blog? Can I record your private conversations? Are you sure that you want everyone to know the inappropriate jokes you make? Do you want everyone to know you like to get choked, while getting fucked in the ass?
We are quick to judge the rich and famous...But flip around on yourself...PC Police Run-a-Muck is the title of this post...The thing is, Al Sharpton, Anderson Cooper, and all these dopes in the media aren't the only ones who make up the PC Police...We all do...All of us, with our cell phones, taking pictures and videos of everything, and posting it...Tweeting every detail of an event...Texting your friends about what you just saw...And it spreads...
People see a picture on Instagram...Maybe a sexual image...Some one will be offended, and report it...Maybe a picture of a saying...It contains the word Fuck...Some one is offended...Rat them out...
Some where along the way, people in this country have pushed freedom of speech and expression aside, and they all think that they should never be offended...Fuck that!
But it's not just that...With all this technology...These fucking smart-phones...People feel the need to share the worst of ourselves, feeding the talking-heads and the PC Police...
A video gets posted on World Star of a black guy beating the shit out of some one...It gets tweeted...A dope makes a racist comment about it on twitter...He gets digitally attacked, then gets banned by Twitter...The his boss saw the tweet...Fearing some one may know where he works, he gets fired, because the boss doesn't want people to think the company is racist...
An assault was posted online...Ratting that dude out...Dude says shit about it online, gets ratted out to the site...Boss fears overreaction, and overreacts...We do this shit to ourselves...
Even worse...
A high school kid gets a blowjob under the bleachers from his girlfriend...One of his buddies films, it, and texts it out...The administration finds out, they get suspended...The whole school calls her a slut...She's mocked online...She kills herself...Everyone claims innocence, even though the evidence is floating around the internet...They'll all act sad, in front of school counselors, forgetting that they pushed her to her grave...
BTW, perfectly good blowjob ruined...
Smart-phones are great...Twitter, Instagram, all that shit can be great...But are we screwing it all up?
We've gone too far....I don't care that Donald Sterling is a racist...And neither did Doc Rivers when he signed a $21 million contract...It was already known then...But once it was put in a broader, public light, Doc is offended...I call that bullshit...Sterling gets banned from the NBA for what he said in private...Bullshit...Dude sucks, but it's bullshit...Kevin Durant was called "Unreliable," then the newspaper got scared, and apologized...Bullshit...That's what I'm talking about...The Oklahoman did nothing wrong, and turned themselves in, for fear that some one would be offended because they took "Unreliable" out of context...Get it...They called a black guy "Unreliable"....BULLSHIT!
People need to be offended...It can lead to good conversations...As opposed to squashing freedom of speech/expression for fear that some one may have their feeling hurt...We need our feelings hurt at times...just to remind us we're alive.
