Monday Moaning




Happy Easter! Hope everyone had a great weekend...I did! but fuck that for now, lets get right into the bullshit that had me fired up late Saturday night....

After losing for the first time this season, three players from Kentucky left the court and didn't shake hands with the Wisconsin players...Fucking classless, but honestly, its not the first time this has happened after a major basketball game...Proving to me once again what a bunch of classless pussies basketball players are!  Then in the post game press conference, one of those three players, Andrea Harrison continued to show his lack of class...His teammate Karl-Anthony Towns was being asked about Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky, and Harrison muttered into his hand, and a hot mic, "Fuck that nigga!"

Total lack of class...This reaffirms some of the shit people talk about Calipari and his program...But screw that...the guy is a great recruiter, and good coach who cares only about winning and not turning his players into men...And surely not true "Student Athletes"...But what it really shows from Harrison is a complete lack of respect for his opponents and his team...Great spot to put the rest of those guys in at the press conference dick-bag!  Yeah, big fucking deal, Harrison said on Twitter that he apologized to Kaminsky...No shit!  That what everyone does when social media blows up on you because you were a fucking asshole!

Now the next part of this that is pissing me off...The media...If Kaminsky (a white kid) said this about Harrison, ESPN along with so many other outlets would have this on a constant loop, and Stephen A. Smith would be going bat-shit crazy! he and Al Sharpton would be screaming for everyone to burn the whole State of Wisconsin to the fucking ground...But instead Smith was on ESPN saying Harrison "made a mistake and will learn from this."  He continued to explain how "times have changed," and "young black men use that term differently then an old white man would." 

WOW!...Holy fucking shit...

Look at this a different way...Let's take the word "Nigga" out of the equation...If Harrison said the same thing but just replaced "Nigga" with asshole, or shithead, dick, or douchebag, whatever, Harrison should still be viewed, and ripped for what he really is...A classless loser...A fucking asshole! And he should be ripped by Stephen A. Smith as well as me...But flip it...Put Kaminsky there, and he said 'Fuck that asshole!"  Smith and Sharpton would still be screaming that it's a racial thing and would want us to burn Wisconsin...

Remember just a few weeks back when Starbucks wanted their employees to try to engage customers into discussing race...#RaceTogether...You know, because everyone keeps saying we need to have an open and honest discussion about race in this country, but then two days later Starbucks shut it down...Why, because people are terrified to have an honest discussion about race...They're afraid of losing their job, upsetting friends or family members, or getting their teeth knocked out, or getting shot...There are people of all races that don't want to hear honest thoughts on the topic...their race and others races...

Yes, we all have flaws...Not just White people, or Black people, or Hispanic people, Christian, or Muslim, or Jewish...All Human Beings have flaws...Lets try to except and understand that first...When we get there please feel free to join me in an open and honest discussion on race...I'm not scared...After we hammer that out we can move on to religion...All except Scientology...Those fucking nut-jobs aren't invited!


-Ok...Lets go to something a bit lighter...This weekend in a shootout during an AHL game, Joey Crabb showed just how much he sucks, as the opposing goalie didn't hear the whistle, and wasn't ready for the shooter, and still made the save...Since Crabb sucks and shot it right at his pad...





-If you're on Twitter don't forget to follow the Gab @yougabsports...This is a tweet I posted Sunday when I had our account start following those dolts at Sporting News...


-Sunday was Easter...I had a great time with the family...Easter is my true sign of Spring...Baseball season is starting, and I have spent the last couple weeks getting prepared to defend my TWO fantasy baseball titles...The best time of year is upon us...The NHL playoffs are around the corner, and Baseball season is starting....

Maybe this will help get you in the good mood I'm in....




 
 
Have a week!

Yeah, I got something to put in your mouth!

How's everyone doing?  How's that fucking bracket doing?  Damn!  I was hyping the Fighting Irish and saying they were going to take it all...So close...Hell, when I saw they were going up against Kentucky, I was just hoping they'd keep it close...Then, holy fucking shit Batman, they're leading...But fucking Kentucky squeaked out the win...Brutal!

-As for hockey's tourney, there was some great games this weekend...And the "Frozen Four" is set...I always feel like a douche saying "Frozen Four" but I'm assuming Basketball has it copy written, so hockey had to go Frozen...Anyway...they four are set, and they have a until April 9th before they play...The first matchup is  Nebraska-Omaha vs. Providence...Both have hot goalies, Providence's Jon Gillies is the top NCAA goalie, along with being American goaltending prospect who has been drafted by the Calgary Flames...



Omaha got hot late in the season and has road that tide, but I'll take Gillies to shut them down and take the Friars to the Final...

The other matchup, to perennial College Hockey powers...Boston University vs. North Dakota...Seriously, this should be the final...Two great all-around teams...I would honestly say, screw it, flip a coin...But wait...The "Frozen Four" is being played in, wait for it..............................
BOSTON!  Well, with that kind of home ice advantage, I'll go with the Terriers...Yep, I'm calling for an all New England Final...And I'll ride BU to the title...

-Now, while I know plenty of people who are fans of that bullshit called "Wresting," yes the WWE, sorry folks, I will not be writing about fucking WrestleMania! I have already see to so-called "Sports News" sites post about WrestleMania...It's not a sport...It's a scripted fucking Soap Opera hopped up on 'roids....Feel free to enjoy the stupid plot lines, and all the almost punches, but stop calling it sports...Yes, they are athletic...Yes, I'll call them athletes, but it's not a sport if there is no defense, and there is clearly no defense, since it's fucking scripted!

-Now for something different...I love trying out, and messing with new apps on my iPhone...I've messed with a number of the photography and picture editing ones, and over the last couple weeks, I've really been enjoying a new called Tunepics...So far it's doing well in England, and a bit of Europe...There not many of us Americans there yet...You take a picture, and you have a few different filter/environment options, and then you search out/pick a song to go with it...It's cool how the two can play off each other or one can set the tone of the other...Check it out!

(yeah, I'm trying to get them to advertise on The Gab!)

That's it for now...

Have a week!

Well I hope everyone else had a fun St. Paddy's Day...Maybe not as classy as these two, but still fun...(thanks for that Barstool!)

I have to give B-Dub a big thanks for covering for me...I also apologize for not being around for the last week or so...Things have been a mess here lately...My St. Patrick's Day blew...Molly had to have her second major dental surgery first thing that morning...Nothing like putting your 3 year old under and handing over $1600 on a bright Monday morning, when the cool people are having kegs and eggs...

The first hour or two after coming out of it sucks...But she bounced back well...Better then she did last time...In the afternoon I got some Irish boiled dinner going, just to get a bit in the mood...The next day I took off work as well, just to help her have another day of taking it easy without the morning runaround...We just relaxed and played, it was a nice day...until the wife and I looked at just how fucking broke we are right now...

Then we had a guy come out later in the week to check our basement that has suddenly been taking water this Winter...He found some issues...Basically the foundation is fucked, and we're sitting down with some people this week to get estimates on the options we have, and financing options...

If anyone out there has an extra $20,000 out there, it would really help the Beeze family out...I apologized for being absent lately, but it may be happening more, as I'm going to be looking to pick up extra hours at work...or if you have something under the table, that would be sweet too!

Sports has clearly been on my back burner...I couldn't tell you shit about the NCAA tourney, except my bracket is totally fucked...Hey, I was just guessing anyways...

The NCAA Hockey Tourney is set after this weekends conference tournaments were finished...

The Northeast Region is 1. Boston College vs. 4. Denver
 2.UMass-Lowell vs. 3. Minnesota State

Odd since  Lowell won the Hockey East Tourney and BC was bounced early by Notre Dame...

The East region is 1. Union College vs. 4. Vermont
 2. Providence vs. 3. Quinnipiac

Union was the ECAC regular season and tournament champion...

The Midwest Region is 1. Wisconsin vs. 4. North Dakota
 2. Ferris State vs. 3. Colgate

Ferris State lost to Minnesota State in the WCHA Final...

The West Region is 1. Minnesota vs. Robert Morris
 2. Notre Dame vs. St. Cloud State

Notre Dame lost to UMass-Lowell in the Hockey East semifinals...St. Cloud who has been a good team all year, got bounced in the first round of the NCHC tournament by Miami...

Clearly, the regular season means a lot more then the conference tournaments  based on teams in and out, and seeding...

I would like to say the Irish will take the whole damn thing, but I'm not sure they'll get by St. Cloud...I think we'll be seeing a Minnesota vs. UMass-Lowell final...

That's about all the sports I have for ya...

Oh, except, this...If you're going to a hockey game, and you're going to bang on the glass, you better be ready....





That's all I have for now...

Have a week...

Well here we are again...Monday just gets here too quick...So let's start with this "Hunger Games" fad...I've been hearing about this movie long enough...So the Mrs. and I went to see it Sunday...No, I haven't read the books, since that's the first fucking question everyone asks when this damn movie is mentioned...And guess what, I'm not going to...I saw the movie, so if I read the book, I'll hate the movie even more, at least that's what happens often...

Okay, I didn't totally hate the movie...It kept my attention...But this bullshit, fantasy-land, run by Donald Sutherland, and his TV producers, pisses me off...As much as the politicians, corporations, and rich douches, control in this country, I have more faith in humanity, then to think we would stand by and be ruled like the people in this movie...

Then there is the violence...I've never had a problem with violence in movies...And I don't have a problem with it in this movie...It's part of the story...Personally, the idea of kids killing kids didn't appeal to me, and I didn't really like watching it...Hey, I know kids are dying violent deaths everyday, and it's awful...Shit the Trayvon Martin shooting has been pounded in our heads non-stop...Odd how no one is talking about THIS story of two black teens lighting a white teen on fire...Yeah, this white boy just played the race card! But that's for tomorrow blog...

Maybe it's because I'm a parent, I don't know, I just didn't like the idea of this movie...Then there was the fact, that it was too long...Some parts were just slow...My wife liked it more, and plans on reading the books...She also is on board too see the sequel...I already told her, "I've invested too much time in this shit!"

Then Sunday night, we watched another movie that has been hyped up for awhile...We watched "Bridesmaids"...Mother fuckers kept saying how it's like "The Hangover"...Not even close! Yeah, it had some funny bits, and some good lines...But then it was filled with all this nonsensical, pity-party, chick bullshit...And talk about too long...Way too much wasted time...I found myself saying, "When are they going to wrap this up already." If you compared this movie to "The Hangover" please punch yourself...

I sat down to write this blog, wanting nearly 5 hours of my day back...Honest to God, I feel like Sunday was a total waste for having watched these fucking, over-hyped, fucking movies...Some one needs to eat my ass!

-How about sports!?!

For the first time in my life, it looks like I may win money in a Bracket Pool...I have Kansas and Kentucky in the final, and I'm pretty sure no one in The Fish House Bracket can catch me...I hope not, because even though I have Kentucky winning it all, I won't be rooting for them...Not after seeing how the Kentucky students and fans reacted after beating Louisville Saturday


Seriously! Why the fuck are people still rioting after their teams win...And fuck Kentucky, you didn't even win anything yet! Shit, at least Vancouver waits until they lose before they go and throw a fucking riot...Not only do I hope Kentucky loses, but I hope everyone of their players rolls their ankles...Fuck them!

-I heard Jeremy Lin is hurt, and may be done for the season...GOOD! no people can stop talking about how great he is...And then about how great he isn't...Then is...Then isn't...Fuck him! Now can somebody put a bullet in Tim Tebow...Never before has a backup QB gotten so much coverage...Fucking private jets and press conferences for a backup...And fucking ESPN Radio can't stop talking about this shit...Even with the Final Four going on, they still slip in some Tebow talk every twenty minutes...Fuck him, and fuck them...

You shits-heads want to talk New York sports, talk about the actual good team you have...The league leading New York Rangers! My boys lost Sunday night to the Bruins, but I have no worries...This team is build to win, and their record proves that...And they'll finish the job in the playoffs...







So to recap...Fuck "The Hunger Games." Fuck "Bridesmaids." Fuck anyone who said it was as good as "The Hangover." Fuck Kentucky, and their fucking fans...Fuck Jeremy Lin and Tim Tebow, and the ESPN hype-machine...Show some respect to the New York Rangers...Watch Hockey...Look for my blog tomorrow about the Trayvon Martin shooting, and the media's fucked up coverage...Oh, and Fuck Mega Millions, since I didn't win!

Have a week...

No, that's not JDIN827...She wishes she looked that good! Miss I love Ohio State/ I love Cleveland, all of the sudden had love for the Ohio University Bobcats...In all the years of reading her nonsense, she has never shown any love for the Bobcats...Just her beloved Buckeyes...Then after Ohio lost to UNC in over-time Friday night, she decides give OU "You made us proud" post...

Fuck you, you bandwagon jumping gash! Just shut up and stick with your Buckeyes...The Ohio State University...Fuck that too...Ohio U. is also a state school, and it's older then OSU, so you ain't "The"...Take your "The" and stick it up your ass! Yep, that's right, not all of us Clevelanders drink the Ohio State Kool-Aid...

And back to Ohio losing to UNC...Fuck those refs...24 fouls called on the Bobcats, and 8 on the 'Heels...Bullshit...I'm not the only person who has seen problems with the officiating...Just ask THIS Syracuse fan!

But enough basketball...That shit sucks!

-This weekend has had some great Hockey as the NCAA Hockey tournament was in full swing, and the final four are set...Boston College will take on Minnesota, and Union will face Ferris State...Union has had an impressive year, while Ferris State has been on a major, late season hot streak...I'll take Ferris State in that one...They'll face BC in the finals...Lots of fire power on that BC squad!

-Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith just got suspended for laying out Daniel Sedin...Problem is, even as dirty as the hit was, Sedin brought it on himself, and should have got popped for a couple games too...See for yourself HERE!

-Tiger Woods finally won a Golf Tournament...So fucking what! I could give a shit...Golf is just some awful shit to watch...I'd rather watch rather watch Thom Yorke from Radiohead do his retarded seizure dance, while he's getting ass raped with plunger by chimp...




What a goofy fucking twink!

-In Cleveland Browns news, these fucking ass-hats still haven't done a thing to improve this shit-hole team...They clearly need a running back or two, yet didn't even talk to Michael Bush, or Ben-Jarvis Green Ellis...Bush landed with the Bears, and B-J-G-E landed in Cincy...WTF! The Browns haven't brought anyone in to talk to, or workout, or anything...Oh, except for Froste Rucker...Wow, what grab that was!

This team is such a joke...They need at least 2 OL=men...Multiple WR's...RB...CB...S...LB...Probably QB...Oh, and acoach who isn't an idiot...And probably should replace the big, fat, arrogant Walrus, Mike Holmgren...Funny how people forget he got fired last time he tried to play GM, because he had no clue...Now he's the team president...Unreal!

I gotta stop paying attention to the Browns...Shit is bad for my health...

Speaking of bad for my health...Friday the wife and I, along with our friends Bryan and may decided to be sinners, as we went out to dinner at BRASA...$40 dollars each for all you can eat salad and fresh seafood bar...Plus all you can eat MEAT! You name it, and these guys brought it to the table and sliced it right onto our plates...Shit was incredible...Just stuffed myself...Recommend it to everyone...Except Vegans! You won't be quite as pleased as I was!

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

Well I hope everyone had a good St. Patrick's Day...Could it have been as good as this slut's? I doubt it!

Mine wasn't very thrilling...I had to work at the Fish House...Not known as a St. Patrick's Day hot spot, but we had a solid night with good push for a couple hours...I also forced a little Irish on to the special sheet...First we had my Grandma's Salmon cakes with some arugula and mustard aioli for an appetizer...Then we had Pan Seared John Dory with Colcannon and a Tomato Vinaigrette...We sold that bad boy out! How can you go wrong mixing cabbage with mashed potatoes!?!

In sports the big talk is all about how almost every one's brackets are busted already...Duke, Missouri going down early was great...Ohio University beating Michigan was great too...But honestly, I don't care about basketball...I did a bracket just for shits and grins...Hoping people's would fall apart and I would look like a genius...I never thought it would work...But I had Ohio U. going to the sweet 16...I got Marquette going to the final four...Oh yeah, not knowing shit about basketball is paying off!

Then there was the NFL "Free Agent Frenzy"...As expected, the Browns did jack-shit...They let Hillis walk...Then they let safety Mike Adams walk...That guy has been a consistent, hard-nosed player...Shit, the secondary just got weaker...Then the cut Eric Steinbeck...After pumping sunshine up our ass about how good the OL would be when he got back from his injury...But wait...They signed Froste Rucker! A DE with 4 sacks and 2 domestic battery charges...Well at least they are still all about bringing in quality, character guys!

They blew the trade up to get RG3...And clearly had no backup plan...They didn't even try to talk to Matt Flynn, who signed with Seattle...Actually other then Rucker, it seems like they haven't talked to any free-agents...This team desperately needs 1 or 2 veteran WR's yet they didn't make a move on any...And I don't care that Cleveland isn't a desirable place for free-agents...Buffalo landed Mario Williams...Have you been to Buffalo? It's a little Cleveland...

It's also fucked up that the Browns, one of the youngest teams in the NFL...With hardly any talent, only has $17 million in cap space...What the fuck...Clearly these fuck-stains have written up some bad deals!

I have no faith that the big, fat, walrus, Mike Holmgren, his GM Tom Heckert, who didn't attend the Senior Bowl or combine, (I don't care about your health issues, do your job fuck stick) and their idiot head coach, Pat Shurmur, will ever turn this train-wreck of a franchise around...

And I have even less faith in owner Randy Lerner...Lerner who cares more about his English Soccer team, Aston Villa, has shown little to no interest in the Browns since he took them over after his father's passing...And as for Aston Villa...They lost $85 million last year, and Lerner turned around and dumped another $40 million into that mess...Yet this fucking cunt wants the city of Cleveland and the tax payers of Cuyahoga County to pay for repairs and renovations and that stupid ass Browns Stadium...EAT A DICK RANDY!!!

As for me, and my little world...I've been battling a lack of inspiration for a couple months now...Even when I have something on my mind, I find myself looking at the screen for awhile, and then just shutting it down...I'm trying to work through it...I even turned to the work of the brilliant and talent singer-songwriter Damien Rice for inspiration...He writes some amazing and brutally honest songs...




The kids are doing well...And our decision to send them to a private Catholic School next year was recently reinforced...The wife and I were dealing with some other family matters, when the school nurse called my cell and started by saying, "It's not an emergency, but your daughter was being choked by a boy on the playground." Umm, how the fuck is that not an emergency!?!

So of course I flew off the handle, mother fucking everyone and their brother...Let me be honest with you all...The staff at the school was lucky I was 2 hours away when they called, because if it had been a normal day, shit would have gotten real!

The asshole, fucking boy choked my daughter, because some little, cunt, bitch told him to...And I don't feel bad at all describing kids like that...They're fucking assholes...The main reason, because their parents are fucking assholes...I'm sick of single parent households, and a bad home life and other bullshit being an excuse for kids being assholes...I'm not saying that these things don't have an effect on kids...They do...I'm saying, I'm sick of all the shitty parents who suck at raising their kids...Or just flat-out, don't raise their kids...Fuck you, you fucking fucks!

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

Well here we are again...My God Monday's come fast...Too fast! I guess sports wise, it's all about college sports this week...The NCAA Basketball Final Four is set...How many of you have a bracket that still has a chance? I didn't think so...Kentucky and UConn...And VCU and Butler...Who the hell had that!?! Well let me give my uneducated guess at this...I say it will be UConn and Butler in the Final, and UConn will win it...

Driving to work Saturday morning the local talk radio guys were crying about the big Ohio State loss to Kentucky...Conspiracy theories are saying they got a tougher bracket because Jim Tresel is a fuck-tard...Ummm, their first two games were against UTSA and George Mason...After looking at the brackets, and how they rolled those two teams...Their draw wasn't any tougher than the other #1 seeds...Quit crying Luckeye fans...They just got beat...Plain and simple...

Hell, I just saw that a rival Cleveland blogger...One who is always viewing things through rose colored glasses, is starting to show signs of excepting reality...She's_starting_to_break...

Saturday night while I was slinging the food at the Fish House, Notre Dame Alum, and Baltimore Raven, Tom Zbikowski was in the boxing ring again...He won his third professional fight in a 4 round unanimous decision, against Caleb Grummet, a former MMA fighter...Zbikoski was giving up 20 pounds to Grummet, and dominated the first three rounds...Grummet came back strong in the 4th round and worked Zbikowski hard against the ropes, but it wasn't enough to take the decision...

The NCAA Hockey Tourney was also taking place this weekend...I spent Friday night watching the games, and then again Saturday night after work...The baby and I had a couple bottles and caught up on the action...Sunday's games would set up Hockey's final for, which they gave the douchey title of, "The Frozen Four"...Here's the final four for Hockey...Minnesota Duluth will face Notre Dame...And Michigan will take on North Dakota...

Last week I predicted Boston College would take it all...Why not? They had guys on this team, including between the pipes that have won 2 titles already...But they got it handed to them Friday by Colorado College...I also was nervous about my Irish...Their Goalie seems to get caught out of position a lot...But Sunday night he stood on his head to help them to a 2-1 victory over New Hampshire....The Irish also have 12 Freshman in their lineup...The says a lot about Coach Jeff Jackson, not only as a coach, but also a recruiter...I hope they can pull it off!

So Saturday nights, when I'm driving home from the Fish House, I pop 98.5 WNCX on the radio...This is the "Classic Rock" station in Cleveland...I don't listen to it often...At this stage, there's only so much pink Floyd, and ACDC I'm willing to tolerate...But Saturday night they have this fat ass, "Mr. Classic" on the air with his "Saturday Night House Party"...He's got that scratchy, I smoke too much voice, and a quality burnout feel...

But the best part is the insane amount of burnouts that call in and request tunes...These dudes, and they're all dudes, sound between 40-60 years old, and they're sitting in their one bedroom, pounding Pabst Blue Ribbon with the bong on the coffee table, and the radio cranked..."Mr. Classic, man let me hear some Artful Dodger!"




Sweet Jesus, it's painful to listen to these ass-hats that contribute so much to society...But damn, it's funny too!

That's it for now...

Have a week...
