Monday Moaning



Well, yesterday I covered some of the college football highlights, but I have to start Monday Moaning off with the news that broke last week about Notre Dame...I wanted to write about it then, but I had my hands full with the kids, and the wife out of town...

For those who didn't hear, Notre Dame will be joining the ACC in 2014, for all sports, except Football...Now, while they aren't joining for Football, there are stipulations regarding Football...The Irish must schedule 5 ACC opponents each season, and must play each ACC team withing a 3 year period...It's as close as anyone was going to get ND Football to commit, right now...I feel this is just a stepping stone for the Irish to join fully...I'll get to that in a minute...

This is huge for the ACC...ND fans travel, so those ACC schools that aren't really Football schools will have packed houses when the Irish come to town...Also teams like Maryland for example, will face ND at a larger stadium like M&T Bank Stadium (home of the Ravens)...Which means more ticket sales...

Also in the deal, if ND doesn't qualify or get selected for a major BCS bowl, the ACC can use them for one of their automatic tie-ins with certain bowls...Which is good for the bowls, and the ACC, because the Irish travel well...

This deal also makes the ACC the elite Soccer and Lacrosse conference, already having a number of schools that are strong in those sports...Two sports the Irish have been doing very well in...Plus, with Pitt and Syracuse joining the ACC in 2013, and the Irish in 2014, it becomes an even bigger monster in College Basketball...Which will bring in more money from ESPN and their contract with the ACC...

The Big Ten went hard after Notre Dame, but made it clear, it was all or nothing...If the Irish didn't get in with football, then they weren't welcome...Great stand by the Big Ten, which can afford to make enemies since their conference makes the most money...Yes, SEC guy, you may kick them all over the field, but they manage to make more money then you...

The Big 12, also went after ND hard, and most likely would have given them a similar deal as the ACC, but Notre Dame wanted to stay East-ish...

Before I mentioned this being a stepping stone for Notre Dame eventually going all in, with the ACC...It's my opinion that within 5 years or so, we will see 4 "SUPER CONFERENCES"...We'll see Louisville, USF, Rutgers, and Cincinnati taken from the Big East...I would guess mainly by the ACC...Louisville possibly by the SEC...

The Big-12 will get chopped up and spread among the Big Ten, SEC, and Pac-12...Oklahoma, Texas, TCU, West Virginia, Kansas State, Kansas, (because of basketball) Oklahoma State, Baylor, Texas Tech...Maybe even Iowa State (built in rivalry with Iowa in the Big Ten)...And then a few others will find their way in, like Boise State, Fresno State, and BYU...Possibly a few others...

I know Big-12 people don't like what I just said, but I think that is where we are heading...I think we were on our way when Nebraska, Texas A&M, Colorado, and Missouri all split, but the conference came out swinging, and managed to keep itself alive...But I think the men hold the power will convince the conferences that there is too much money to be made with 4 "SUPER CONFERENCES" and a sexy playoff system, that many fans have been clamoring for...

I'd love to hear what you think about this...

The other big story on my mind this week, is the NHL owners have locked out the players after the two sides couldn't agree on a new CBA...The clock ran out at 11:59PM Saturday...What I find even more ridiculous about this, is all day Friday, and Saturday teams were signing, and re-signing players to multi-million dollar contracts...The same type of contracts these owners have been bitching about...

The last lockout, the players swallowed a good deal of pride, and left a good deal of money on the table, thinking they were doing the best thing for the game...After a few years of struggling to get the media attention Hockey deserves, things started getting better for the NHL...The sport seemed to be on the rise the last couple years...

And now this happens...The mainstream media will be turning it's back on Hockey again...Fans like me will be pissed...I already canceled my Center Ice package...I was really excited to see Rick Nash playing for my New York Rangers...Now, I'm pissed...I plan on spending my money on some College Hockey and some AHL Hockey...It's going to be awhile until the NHL sees a dime from me...I don't think the players should get screwed...And I think the owners need to look in the mirror...Because they and that douchebag Bettman are the biggest problems with their business of Hockey.

Lastly, the Cleveland Browns lost Sunday to the Bengals...I'm not surprised, are you? And while the defense didn't play nearly as well as they did last week, the offense showed some real improvement...Trent Richardson rushed for 109 yards and a TD...He looked like a different guy out there this week...And speaking of looking like a different guy...Brandon Weeden passed for 322 yards, and 2 TD's...And he threw no Interceptions...He actually didn't look like a high school kid, shitting his pants...Does that mean there is hope for this team? I don't know...I stopped getting my hopes up years ago...I'll just watch and see what happens...


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

The Beeze.

Monday Moaning



Well, the Fighting Irish had a good start to their season! Notre Dame opened up in Dublin, Ireland, against NAVY...This is a team that ND has learned not to take lightly...And they didn't...The Irish rolled to a 50-10 victory...In case you missed it, since it was an early kickoff here in the States, here are the highlights...




The only problem I had watching this game, was when a couple of Jehovah Witness assholes knocked on my door...Hey, I'm all for religious tolerance, except when you're an asshole who doesn't acknowledge the Flag, and you if you are disturbing me watching a Notre Dame game...I opened the door, I could smell it on them...This dope started opening his mouth, and I said, "What are you?" He replied timidly, "Jehovah Witness." My wife saw the steam coming off of me, and I let loose..."Get out here! Get the fuck off my porch!"

They left, but I wasn't quite satisfied, so I stepped outside with my cup of coffee as they were walking towards my neighbor's house and I yelled, "It's Saturday morning, there's a Notre Dame Football game on...Get the hell out of here!" Then gathered with another couple of these clowns and got in a car...I noticed a few people looking out there doors at this point...They slowed as they passed my house, at this point I was almost at the curb, just pissed that they knocked on my door...The one dope leans his head out and says, "We didn't mean to disturb you," I didn't let him finish and yelled, "Well you did! Get the fuck out of here!"

I walked inside pleased, feeling I did something good for all of mankind...My wife, looking at me saying, "Jesus, you're so mean to people sometimes. Watch your game." That's all I wanted...All I wanted...

I had gotten up Saturday morning around 8:30 AM...AT 1:30 AM Sunday, I was still up, and watching College Football...I didn't go to sleep until after 2:30AM...Of those 18 hours I spent about 12 watching college football...I love this time of year!

And the Notre Dame game wasn't the only highlight...Little Ohio University going to not-so Happy Valley, and beating Penn State 24-14 was awesome...I was thoroughly disgusted that ESPN made this their noon game, and hyped it all week, by swinging on Penn State's balls...15 minutes on SportsCenter Friday night...20 minutes before kickoff, loving on Penn State...Just months after numerous ESPN talking heads were out for blood on the PSU campus...Now they want to hold them, and snuggle them...Suck my ass! And the announcers talking about the PSU defense being the anchor of the team...

Really? Well the anchor gave up over 100 yards rushing, and 72 receiving to 5-9 RB Beau Blankenship...And gave up 324 yards passing to QB Tyler Tettleton...As if PSU didn't have enough to be embarrassed about, then they got pushed around the field for the second half, by a MAC school!

I found it depressing that the local media had a huge boner because Ohio State beat up on Miami of Ohio, like they should have, but just passed by Ohio U. working PSU...Fucking twats around here!

It was also fun seeing Michigan look like children, just getting rolled over by Alabama...You know, every time Big Ten people start getting cocky, and say they're just as good as the SEC, something like this happens, and the gap between SEC and Big Ten talent/skill/coaching is put on display for everyone to see...Right now the Big Ten is hoping Nebraska still has some Big-12 left in them, while Urban Meyer tries to make Ohio State a SEC North team...

Now that I have covered that stuff, I thought I'd let everyone know, the kids are doing great at their new school...Little Beeze is adjusting to all the rules, and he's in for a rude awakening this week when he starts getting homework...He's going to be tested, and pushed a lot more here...His big sister is settling right in, having been craving a little more out of her last school...She has a couple of good friends already, and they have talked her into joining the school band...That's not a shock, since she's always loved going to the High School Football games, to see the band...

And thank God for the band...Because our local team sucks balls Friday night...I stopped looking at the scoreboard in the 3rd quarter when we were down 42-7...But halftime was great, as the Marching Band was awesome...They were the first and only thing to bring our fans to their feet...The crowd roared and gave them a standing ovation.

This past week I took vacation days, to help with getting into the swing of the school year...After the older two were at school, it was just me and Molly...


Yeah, plenty of park time...Her and her swings...



It was good week...And my wife had to admit, that I'm a better Mom...Yeah, I tried to TELL you people!

She also starts a new job, at the company she left less then a year ago...They reached out to her, and made her an offer she couldn't refuse...She's happy about it...The kids aren't, because it means she'll be working a little later...I'm not looking forward to the two weeks of training she has to do out of town...I'm good, but I don't want to be a single parent...the company is flying her home on the weekend in between, so it won't be too bad...

That's it for now...Gotta get that grill ready for some Labor Day fun...

Have a week...

Later, The Beeze.

Monday Moaning

Well it's Monday again, and it's time for another dose of Moaning...First off, this week I'm not as grumpy as I was last week...Thanks to Notre Dame not shitting the bed Saturday! You can read about that HERE...

Then there was the Browns...Coming off of an embarrassing loss to the Bengals, and rolling into Indianapolis...Now the Browns won, but unlike many folks in Cleveland, I'm not getting my hopes up...I mean, other than two excellent defensive ends, the Colts defense isn't that great...And their offense is lost without Peyton Manning...So relax Clevelanders, the Brownies still lost to the Bengals...

And what happened to the Ravens...They took apart the Steelers last week, and then this week they got punked by the Titans...WTF!?!

Cam Newton threw for over 400 hundred yards again...But he was able to mix in 3 interceptions, to help the Panthers lose! (ouch B-Dub!)

Oh, and Tom Brady was out there again Sunday, just torching mother fuckers! (423 yards and 3 TD's)

But enough of that stuff...Let's get into this College Football shit that is going down...Awhile back, I predicted, along with others, that we would see 4 "Super Conferences" in college football...Well as the Big-12 seems to be losing members, now The Big-East is falling...Pitt and Syracuse are heading to the ACC, and rumor has it, UConn and Rutgers are next...It wouldn't be a surprise to see USF head that way as well...

Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas Tech...Look for all those kids to head to the PAC-12...I see Missouri, and Iowa State going to the Big-10, and then the Big-Ten will grab some Big East leftovers...The SEC already grabbed Texas A&M...They'll pick up some one else from the Big-12...

The big questions...Where do TCU and Boise State go...They're tired of being left out by the big guns...And, will 4 "Super Conference" telling the BCS to go to hell, and calling the shots in college football, finally force Notre Dame into a conference...Will the Irish even be invited?

If it all goes down, as I think it will...We may finally get the College Football playoff we've been dying for...And when it happens, how many will start bitching about the tradition of college football...What, the tradition of bitching every season about which team or teams got screwed...Don't worry, I'm sure there will be plenty to bitch about!

As for the happenings in my world...I spent Sunday morning at Chuck-Cheese with the kids, for one of their friends birthday...That, after watching our friends daughter over night Saturday...Some one is gonna get sick, I can feel it...

Here's my little girl, Saturday night around 12:30AM...Laughing and playing...She stayed up until almost 2:00AM...


Living the dream!

Sunday afternoon, I spent a few hours chopping a hedge that runs along our driveway...The city informed me it has to be no taller than 8 feet...So my 5'7" ass was on a shaky 6 foot ladder with electric hedge trimmers...One douche neighbor, who didn't offer to help, informed me that one of the things growing in this hedge, on my next door neighbors side, was poison oak...So if some one doesn't get sick, I'm waiting for some one to start itching...

Oh, and Mrs. Beeze starts her new job Monday...Going from one giant, evil bank, to another giant evil bank...But it's a really nice bump in pay...I'm one year closer to my goal of retiring by 40!

That's it for now....Have a week...I'm sure it's just gonna be great!

Monday Moaning

How the hell are ya gang...It's time for some Monday Moaning...Sorry if I get a little hostile this week, I just got home from a long weekend of working at the Fish House...I may be feisty...But I am now on vacation for a week...So I may calm down by tomorrow...

This week we're gonna start with Joe Montana...A couple weeks ago he made some comments, and I feel that I should address them...As many of you may know...I'm a Notre Dame guy...You may also know, most Notre Dame people love Joe Montana...Me...Not so much...I say, F**k Joe Montana! I haven't liked him since I was a kid...Let me explain...My mom grew up in a little Pennsyltucky town near Joe...Many years later, it was high school reunion time...The school contacted Joe to see if he would be attending his class reunion...Not asking him to do anything...Just asking if he would be coming...His response..."How much are you going to pay me?" F**K YOU JOE!!!


So on to Joe's more recent comments... "You can't ask any football coach here to be constrained like that on the academic side and to have a consistent team," Montana said. "Unless you try to relax some of that for the athletic programs here, it's hard to consistently compete with the programs that have different standards."

Again I say F**K YOU JOE!!! Why? Because he's f**king wrong...Notre Dame's Women's Soccer team is one of the NCAA powerhouses...The Men's Soccer team is always strong...Jeff Jackson has turned the Fighting Irish Hockey team into a top program...The Lacrosse team, strong...And on and on...Not just at Notre Dame...At plenty of Universities that hold there STUDENT ATHLETES to the same standards as their other STUDENTS...Don't blame the University, and it's education standards for poor performances on the football field...Blame the coaches...and even the players for not executing...

If Joe Montana would have lowered his standards, and expectations...He never would have made into the NFL, and become one of the greats...Hell, he never would have made it on the field at Notre Dame...

I don't want to sound like a d!ck, but f**k it...I think this has more to do with his son not being able to cut it at Notre Dame then anything else...That's right Nate Montana transferred to Pasadena City College...Sorry Joe, But the school shouldn't lower it's standards just cause some whiny parents say so...

This seems to be a problem these days...My kids are 7 and 4...I've had a number of people tell me I expect too much from them...F**k that...You expect too little...The goal of every parent should be to help give their kids a better life then their own...Well unless I start getting paid to write this drivel, or I win the Mega Millions...I'm not gonna be able to afford to send both my kids to Notre Dame, or Boston University, or where-ever, on my Fish House salary...So I have high expectations, and standards for my kids...You go ahead and let you kid be a lump of sh!t...Mine will successful in life...Maybe one day the little Beeze will be the first President to give the State of the Union, and close by pulling out his junk, and saying...'If you don't like it...Suck on this!'

So for the record...Joe Montana= Wrong/Douche....The Beeze= Right/Twisted...

Since I brought up my son...I shared this on facebook, but it needs to be said here too...Wednesday Night, we were all watching Wipeout...He loves that damn show...He was sitting in the chair with my wife...All the sudden he stands up...Pulls his pants down, and says..."Have you seen this guy before Mama!?" WTF! It was hilarious...F**ked up...But hilarious...I swear to God he didn't get that one from me...He's also still on his "boobies" craze...I can't wait until the calls from school start...

Next up...Word is, Patriots Linebacker, Tedy Bruschi is going to announce his retirement Monday... http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2009/08/30/patriots_lb_bruschi_retiring_after_13_seasons/

Big talk in Cleveland...Who the hell is going to be the Browns starting Quarterback? I'll tell you who it should be...Brady Quinn...And this ain't a Notre Dame thing...He's just better...People love to fall for a guy like Derek Anderson who can throw the deep ball...Coaches included...Problem is, he throws everything like he's throwing a deep ball...The guy struggles with the short stuff...He has no touch, and doesn't see the field as well as Quinn...Plus when an organization spends what the Browns did, to get back up in the first round, to get Quinn...You gotta play him...I know Mangina didn't draft him...So the owner has to say, play this guy, or move him and get something back...It was a big investment...Giving Anderson a contract extension when they were going after Quinn was a bad investment...BTW, the Browns won their preseason game Saturday against the Titans, 23-17...I'm seeing some improvement...

Since we're on Football...It may be August still, but it's Fall in Ohio...High School Football Season started Friday...Yes folks, Ohio can be like mini-Texas when it comes to Football...Don't believe...Check out the documentary called "Go Tigers."

I live in a small community...We're not crazy like the people in Massillon (in Go Tigers) but we support our team...The high School is around the block from us, and the Football Stadium is at the end of our street...Friday at 7:00PM the band marches down to the stadium...The kids dig that...Students and parents, and neighbors follow...It's a great atmosphere...Like I said...We're a small community...One of my favorite things to do every year is count how many band members are also cheerleaders and football players...Nothing like a kid ripping off his shoulder pads and helmet at halftime, and breaking out his trumpet...

This week The Brooklyn (OH) Hurricanes lost to rival Rhodes High School 24-22...

Lastly this week...I wanted to share this link, and say hell yeah to Angelo Cammarata...Best of luck to him... http://www.gnn.com/article/cheers-prohibition-era-bartender-retires/644371

That's it for now...

Monday Moaning

Happy Monday Gang! I never thought I'd be so happy to get to Monday...But it wasn't the best weekend at the Beeze house...I got home from work Saturday to find out my daughter hadn't taken a dump in 3 or 4 days, and wasn't feeling well because of it...I'm sure us having her pound juice with Miralax in it didn't really make her feel any better....(Miralax is a crap softener)

Then there's my son...Who was in a state this weekend...He spent Friday night at my parents...I was working a double at the Fish House and they thought it would be nice to lighten the load on my wife...Just to be clear...They wouldn't do that sh!t for me...They clearly like her more then their own son...So apparently he was full of piss and vinegar...When I walked in the door Saturday I was getting a look from my wife...I've learned them all...This one was the...'Your son is a pain in the ass...Get him away from me!' All he wanted to do was beat the sh!t out of some one...He spent the next hour beating on me and wrestling and then gave up when I tickled the hell out of him...

He continued to be an obnoxious pain in the ass all day Sunday...Bed time couldn't get here soon enough...BTW, My daughter did some serious cleaning out Sunday...In case you wanted t o know...

So lets get to some sports...A story broke this weekend about Josh Hamilton...I gotta say it pissed me off...I've commented on a couple of posts at
http://www.babeslovebaseball.com/
and at
http://www.yougabsports.com/ ...But now I think it's time for my full opinion...

Pictures were released of Hamilton getting his drink on, and having some fun with a few women who aren't his wife...If you don't know he's a baseball player who is a recovering crackhead/drunk...



It's rumored that he told his family and team after it happened...I don't give a sh!t....Some say he's human and made a mistake...Yes he is, and yes he did...People think he should be given another chance...Clearly he has...

But he won't get another from me...Yes we all f**k up...We all do sh!t we regret at times in our life...Guess what...Most of us learn from our mistakes and grow the f**k up...He's been given chance after chance, just like so many athletes and celebrities do...If he was an average guy, He wouldn't be getting multiple chances...He'd be considered a douche bag/loser...Guess what? I think he's a douche bag and a loser...

So what, he told his family and his team about his slip-up...He sure as sh!t didn't tell Rick Riley and ESPN when they were swinging from his nuts during the special they did on him not too long ago...He's excepted all the propping up the media has given him...So he better be able to take some of the sh!t he's gonna get over this...He tells everyone that his belief in God helped him get through it...Know what else helps...NOT WALKING INTO BARS!


I wonder how his wife took it when he told her...If I was the douche bag in this picture, and my wife saw it...Game Over...My sh!t is on the curb...Locks are changed...And I never see my kids again...And I'm known as an assh0le for life...

F**k Josh Hamilton!

Next...The Baseball Trade deadline has come and gone...I guess nobody told the Cleveland Indians...Friday they traded Carl Pavano to the Twins...That has got to piss-off the Tigers...Pavano is 4-0 against Detroit, and they've still got a couple more series against each other...

Speaking of the Indians...They're doing it again...This seems to always happen...They trade away their best players and now the Triple-A team is here and they start winning some games...It always seems to be enough to save that hack, Wedge's job...WTF!

Ozzie Guillen is back to running his mouth...That's okay...Some people don't like Ozzie...I love him...He says what he wants, and he doesn't give a sh!t what you think...After the Indians pitchers hit a few of his guys Saturday he let everyone know...His pitchers are gonna start hitting people...You hit us...We hit you...I'm good with that...For the record, Indians hitters are first in the league with getting hit by a pitch...The White Sox are fifth...

David Ortiz says he's innocent...He doesn't know what he tested positive for...And didn't do anything wrong...I don't believe him...I have no reason to...It's sad that (and I'm sure I'm not alone) I just don't trust what baseball players say...

Since I mentioned Big Sloppi...I should put this out there...What the hell is going on with the Red Sox!?! Nothing worse then spending your weekend getting shut down by the Yankees!

So the UFC was in Philly this weekend...We know how crazy those people in Philly can get....About 30 seconds in there's a blond that gets into the mix...She looks like some one I knew!


Crazy f**kers...I had a better video, but it was removed for violations...

BTW, the Griffin, Silva fight was a let down...Silva is a bad ass, but that knock out looked weak to me...Maybe Griffin just knew he was over matched...I don't know...

This weekend also saw another class go into the Football Hall of Fame...Getting in this year was...

WR-Bob Hayes
G-Randall McDaniel
DE-Bruce Smith
Owner-Ralph Wilson
CB/S-Rod Woodson
LB-Derrick Thomas...(About time)

That's a pretty good class...I'm about to admit something that I don't want to...I hate the Steelers...But I always liked Rod Woodson, and I was happy to see him get in...I was even happier when he mentioned that the Hall needs to get Dick LeBeau in there...As a player and a contributor...I'm sure 3rdStone smiled at that one too!

Now before I go...Many of you know I'm a big time Notre Dame fan...I've just begun building a blog just for Notre Dame news and sports...I'll be starting my Fighting Irish Football Preview this week...So if you're interested...Stop by The Beeze's Irish Buzz...

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

Monday Moaning

Well it's that time again....Time for the Beeze and his moaning....I've kinda been trying to figure out what I was gonna write about all day...I don't normally do that...I try to just let it flow...So I just threw my notes to the side, and we're gonna shoot from the hip...

Last week I mentioned the evening out with Mrs. Beeze for her 40th Birthday...Well gang, in case you missed it...Here's a little write up I did about our evening.... http://thebeezestalesfromthefishhouse.blogspot.com/2009/04/beeze-reviews-alto-cucina.html

Now on to a little sports...Since I was a kid I always followed the Cleveland Indians, and the Chicago Cubs...Yeah...I can really pick 'em...The Tribe, because well...I'm a Clevelander...You get stuck with sh!t like that...Speaking of Cleveland and sh!t...Check out these two freaking hilarious videos....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysmLA5TqbIY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZzgAjjuqZM

Seriously funny sh!t...Now back to my bad choice in Baseball teams...I always followed the Cubs, because when I was in second grade my dad gave me a Ryne Sandberg jersey for Christmas...I have no idea why....And to be honest I never asked...But after that I was always watching those day games on WGN...

Then when I hooked up with Mrs. Beeze I became a Red Sox fan...She's originally from Beantown, and has family there...Best damn city there is...Any f*cking way...where the hell is this going...I'm not sure....Oh yeah....The Indians SUCK!!!

Seriously...I bitched about this a couple weeks ago, and then they beat the hell out of the Yankees...So maybe it will work again...

Let me ask this...Why call up the prize prospect from the C.C. Sabathia trade, and then have him sit that first day up...BTW he looked great Sunday staring at 2 called third strikes...Welcome to the big leagues...Swing the bat douche!

Another question...Shin-Soo Choo has been pretty good with the bat...But the way he has played the outfield...He looks like Ray Charles...But my BIG problem with this is...The outfield coach is Jeff Datz...Jeff Datz...A former Catcher...Christ Eric Wedge...Is there anyone on your staff that isn't a former catcher?

Fun little stat about the Indians skipper...The Tribe is 69-80 in March and April, under Eric Wedge...Every year they dig themselves a whole...This team has no fire...The lack leadership...And that starts with the manager...They will continue to suck under Wedge's piss poor leadership...I've said my peace...Now go win some f**king ball games!

Moving on to this weekend highlight...Well not so much for me and my kids' college fund...Mine That Bird...A 50-1 horse won the Kentucky Derby Saturday...You can read all my thoughts on that right here....
http://thebeezewax.blogspot.com/2009/05/50-to-fcking-1are-you-shtting-me.html

Don't ask how much I lost...The real problem is that I won Nothing!...But my daughter won our little family pool...Smart a$$ little....

Speaking of the little Beezers...I haven't found my son laying on the bathroom floor in his own sh!t...And I haven't found any surprise puddles anywhere...But I was proud of him this week...Often when I pick the kids up after school they play on the playground with some friends for a while...There's this one boy from my daughter's class...Who I hate to say this, because he's a kid...But...You can already see he's an "in the way person"....He's got Douche-bag written all over his future....

Well Little Beeze kept trying to climb up one of the slides...But a bunch of kids kept coming down it...I told him to "knock it off...You're getting in people's way." So now he's going down the slide with my daughter and her friend behind her...And the D-bag kid now keeps getting in there way and saying mean sh!t to the girls...All the while his "in the way" hillbilly mother isn't doing sh!t...So I told my son..."If he gets in your way again, or is mean to you guys...Slide right through him...Take him down!"

So this dolt does it again...Got in their way and said something sh!tty to the one girl...And my little boy looked just like Ty F*cking Cobb...Feet up, right in the kids junk...Road him right down the slide, and to the ground...My son then gets up and says..."Yeah! That's how we do it!" All the sudden mom is concerned...But once she heard what he said she realized, at least slightly that her son is a dolt, and she may also qualify!

To the NHL...The second round of the playoffs is underway...The Bruins put a beating on the Canes in game one....

But Cam Ward and company came back strong Sunday night and tied the series at a game apiece...

Chicago, Vancouver...And Detroit, Anaheim are also knotted up...The Caps are up 1-0 on the Pens...I know hockey isn't for everyone...But give it a try...The Playoffs are great...Do it for me!

The last thing I want to touch on this week...I just read this little article in Sporting News Magazine about how base stealing is falling by the way side...One of the players featured was Carl Crawford...Who just happens to be on my Fantasy team...I guess Carl decided to say Screw that...Because Sunday, he went out and swiped 6 bases...Way to Go Carl! Base stealing isn't dead yet!




That's all for now...Have a good week...
