Trump Taxes, ND-SCOTUS, Headlines Being Ignored

 

Yes the Trump Tax news has broken and has people excited and angry...Angry would be the proper response, but of course Trumpers and Fox News are still out there defending the Trump for being a criminal fuck!  Luckily plenty of people are pissed and speaking up...not that we will convert the Trumper Cult...

And while Trumpers defend him for not paying taxes, the fact that he doesn't pay taxes goes against so much of the bullshit he gets them all revved up about at his cult rallies...

And we may as well continue to hit the Trumpers with more facts since they are still trying to push the narrative that all the bad shit going on now, IN TRUMP & MCCONNELL'S AMERICA is what "Joe Biden's America" will be like...

The lies and bullshit are maddening and never ending...And there are just sooo many Trumpers that eat it up....I no longer have the ability to feel any sympathy or hope or have any faith that these dolts will learn or change...I have no room in my heart or soul for racists, homophobic, transphobic, Traitor Flag wavers and idiot cult members...They don't want to learn or unlearn...Trump has made it acceptable to proudly be a liar and an idiot and to be proudly and openly racist and hateful...And the Senate has enabled him...

And don't even get me started on that Handmaid's Tale Supreme Court Nominee...You want to know how people view her...She is a graduate of Notre Dame Law School, and ND kind of has a boner about having a graduate on the Supreme Court...But they also no she's bat-shit, cult crazy, so their social media posts pumping her up and patting themselves on the back, they disable the comments...They knew the shit that would be coming their way...

Sports side note: University of Notre Dame has 39 players in quarantine this week, up from 17, because of COVID...You know, because Trump said it's going away...

There is a ton to unpack in the trump tax info, but there is other stuff going on as well...Other big headlines like the "IRS Chief Makes More Than $100,000 Per Year Off of Trump Property"

Or, "Major Hospital System Hit with Cyber Attack, Potentially Largest in U.S. History"...

There is so much coming at about Trump's shady dealings that people are missing a huge Russian hack and forgetting that he lied to us and continues to lie about COVID...That he trashed fallen U.S. military...

Oh, another headline...Juror Says AG Misled in Breonna Taylor Case

UPDATE: New Headline just broke about this...Breonna Taylor case grand juror: We weren’t given the option of indicting the two cops who shot her

 

WTF!?!

We can't stop fighting for real justice for Breonna Taylor and so many others...

As for the debate tonight...I will not be watching...I don't need to be yelling at the TV all night...I know Trump's playbook and I'll just be pissed...I know Biden's playbook...I fear the moderator won't be able to control the back and forth and won't fact check the lies...Nothing said will change my mind...Trump is a criminal, lying asshole...I'm going to pour myself a drink or two and listen to some wonderful music...

Notre Dame's Season Comes to an End

With that kick, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish season ended....Yes, they'll go and play in a bowl game...And a good one at that...But the season they wanted...The season us fans wanted...It's over...Two losses, no playoffs...

Now, I have to give them credit for putting together a helluva season considering the number of key injuries they suffered...That said, the Irish spent all pre-season tooting their horn about what great depth they had coming into this season...So, no excuses allowed when it comes to the injuries...

There was something else the Irish and the media were hyping in the pre-season, and much of the season...The Notre Dame defense, and their defensive coordinator, Brian Vangorder...Holy fuck I got annoyed at watching this guy during games, and on Showtime's "A Season with Notre Dame"...The announcers on TV were constantly hyping this ass-hat up...I'm sorry, watching the Stanford game, ND didn't deserve to win...Not the way the defense was giving up yards and points...Let alone the fact that ND took the lead with 30 seconds left in the game, and still managed to lose....That was ridiculous!

All season long, even when the Irish defense was dominating a game, they would still give up a couple embarrassing TD's...The Boston College game is the only game that I would give the defense credit....That game the offense sucked balls, and the D kept them in it...

Again, ND had some injuries that would cripple teams...But the told us they had depth, and they proved it...What they didn't have was the cock-strong defense they said they had...This is the 4th season in Brian Kelly's 6 seasons at Notre Dame, that the media and ND have hyped the defense...Do us a favor...Don't hype the defense next year...That way, if they end up being good, we'll all be happily surprised...And if they suck, or play they way they have been, then we won't be letdown...

Good season...I was impressed with the young QB, Kizer...Will Fuller is a beast, but drops too many passes...Chris Brown is good, but drops too many passes...CJ Prosise is a RB not a WR, that was proven clearly...Good season...But not good enough....

Malik Zaire Out for the Rest of the Season

Right there was the moment when many of us Notre Dame fans said, "Shit! There goes the season!"  Actually I yelled "Mother Fucker" when watching the replay that made it look pretty clear that Irish QB, Malik Zaire's season was done...

The Irish offense seemed out of sink for much of Saturday's game with Virginia...And I wasn't thrilled with the defense's play, especially in the second half...At the end of this run, Zaire had racked up 87 yards on 10 carries for the day...He was 7 for 18 in the passing game for 115 yards and a TD...Not quite the performance many of us were expecting after his excellent showing against Texas...But Zaire is the guy...The coaches love him...His teammates love him...He talent is very clear...So ND Nation has hung our collective hat on this kid...

So when coach Brian Kelly confirmed after the game that Zaire had a fractured ankle and would miss the rest of the season, a week after starting running back Tarean Folson's season was ended with a knee injury, hopes of winning season, and making the palyoffs seem harder to imagine...There has been a lot of talk of Notre Dame's depth, but at this rate how long will the depth hold up?

Enter Sophomore QB, DeShone Kizer...Kizer who stepped in Saturday to complete 8 of 12 passes for 92 yards and 2 TD's...One coming on a fake field goal, and the other a 40 yard, last minute, game winning TD pass to Will Fuller...Pulling out a 34-27 win...

Kizer is 6-4, 230 lb. dual-threat QB from Toledo, Ohio...Coming out of High School Tom Lemming had him ranked as the 40th best player in the nation...He saw no game time last year, and got a bit of mop-up duty during the Texas game...He has a seriously strong arm, but seems to need to learn some touch...Also, while the dual-threat QB is nice, and opens up more of the playbook, they also have a better chance of getting hurt, just like Zaire...

The offense rallied around Kizer at the end...Hopefully they won't miss a beat, but I think this season just got a bit tougher...

Brian Kelly with Shots Fired

Notre Dame head football coach responded today to comments from Gary Pinkel, Steve Spurrier, and Dabo Swinney...All have, in said in some way, shape or form that Notre Dame should be forced to play in a conference, or not be eligible for the College Football Playoff...

Now, I'm a loyal ND guy, and I feel they should be in a conference, but they don't make the rules, they just use them to their advantage...And I think it's clear that Notre Dame is leaning that way, after starting to play a partial ACC schedule last season, as part of the terms for the rest of Irish sports joing the ACC...If the NCAA made them, they would...But let's be honest, the NCAA likes ND being what the are and relevant...It keeps people talking college football, and they like their taste they get from the Irish...

Pinkel made the silly point of there "are no independents at the next level"...He also went on to say that he thinks every league should have a conference championship...

So, while on the Rich Eisen Show, Kelly was asked about these types of comments...His response was great, and can be considered "Shots Fired!"

"Our situation is that we don’t play any I-AA teams," Kelly said. "I think that when they decide not to play I-AA teams then maybe we could be on an equal footing. We’re gonna play teams that give us a quality schedule and that’s all really we can control.”


Suck on that you SEC and ACC douche bags!  Spurrier's South Carolina team takes on The Citadel later this year...Pinkel's Missouri squad opened with Southeast Missouri State, and Swinney and his Clemson Tigers opened the season with Wofford...

Excellent point there Coach Kelly!


You can catch the full interview below, including talk of renewing the Notre Dame Michigan rivalry...

Monday Moaning

Well, it's Labor Day...Summer is officially over...I'm okay with that...I'm a Fall kind of guy to begin with, so the heat and humidity can fuck off very much please...

And what comes with Fall?  Football!  It was great watching the Fighting Irish beat the living shit out of Texas Saturday night 38-3...The Irish defense was pretty dominate...And the Offense, for the most part was able to do whatever they wanted...The O-Line pushed Texas around...Notre Dame picked up 214 yards on the ground, and almost all of that after starting running back Tarean Folston left the game after 3 carries in the first quarter with a torn MCL injury...3 carries, 19 yards, season over...That sucks!

C.J. Prosise, a RB turned WR, was turned back into RB, and put up 98 yards on 20 carries...Freshman Josh Adams added 2 TD's and 49 yards on 5 carries...Fellow Freshman, Dexter Williams picked up 24 yards on 7 carries late in the game...

Much of the talk around Notre Dame coming into this season has been hype about how they feel this is there best group of players, with the most depth...Well, the backfield depth will have to step up and prove that early now...

As for Texas, I thought they would be more competitive this year, but maybe not...The talking heads kept praising Texas QB, Tyrone Swoopes, and going on about his bright future...REALLY?  kid completed 7 out of 22 passes for 93 yards...I wasn't impressed...They may want to give the other kid a bit more of a look...

An impressive performance was my HEISMAN DARKHORSE, Irish QB, Malik Zaire who completed 19 of his 22 passes for 313 yards and 3 TD's...

Here's the whole game in under 3 minutes for ya...





Oh, and Texas...When you're getting your ass kicked 38-3, and the game has less than two minutes left...And you make a tackle on the 4th string running back...That's not the time you stand over the guy and taunt him...Coach Strong, you got a lot of work to do with those dolts!


- As for the rest of the College Football action, as usual the first week was filled with mostly big-time teams playing cream-puffs...But there were a couple good ones...Northwestern upset #21 Stanford...#2 TCU wasn't impressive at all against Minnesota...Washington gave #23 Boise State all they could handle...#25 Tennessee woke up in the second half after Bowling Green spent the first half exchanging punches with them...Everyone who has Bowling Green on their schedule better watch out...This team plays fast and hard...They have the speed to run with the so-called "SEC Speed"...

And for the weekend's biggest goose-bumps moment...BYU beating Nebraska 33-28 on a "Hail Mary"...






That's a play that will get ya right in the feels, as my son says!

-Kansas State Marching Band...Listen, I'm a big supporter of marching bands...Christ at out local high school games, people go to see the band,  not the football team...(the band could totally take the football team out!)  But Kansas State did you really think no one, especially the PC Police wouldn't catch this move?

They are trying to tell everyone that the cock and balls on the right are suppose to be the Starship Enterprise...It's clear that on the left is a rival Kansas Jayhawk...But really, Star Trek? That's no Enterprise....That's a prize about to enter the Jayhawks mouth!

Screw apologizing...You got caught...Admit that you were shitting....Or jizzing on your rival, and own it, you fucking pervs...It's college football, you're suppose to be dicks to your rival!


-As for life here...It's been crazy...The kids will finally start school Tuesday, as their building were under construction...And the wife is back...Last week, I was a single parent as my wife was in Houston doing training for her new job...Other then her having to make a couple trip there each year, it's going to be great for us...On the plus side, she brought me home a sweet Astros cap!


-One last thing...The judge made his ruling...We all Goodell an his ego are going to fight it...Whatever...I don't give a fuck...So, ESPN, FOX Sports, Bleacher Report, SI, and even us at the Gab...Can we please shut the fuck up and never hear or say the words "deflate-gate" again!?!


Have a week!

Irish Running Back Out for the Season

Just a few days ago it was reported that Notre Dame running back Greg Bryant would be suspended for the first four games of the season...The reason?  The ever so popular "undisclosed violation of team rules"....

News has gotten worse for Bryant and the Irish backfield...He has now been declared Academically Ineligible for the 2015 season...

As a Sophomore, Bryant averaged 5.4 yards per carry last season for a total of 289 yards and 3 TD's...He had been battling (RB/WR) C.J. Prosise for the #2 RB job before this...It looks like Prosise just won that battle...Junior Tarean Folston is slated as the #1 RB...

This will have some impact on the team, but I don't think it will be a critical loss...I'm just happy that on occasions, the Irish show that they still have standards...

Shembo is no Prince

The Atlanta Falcons have released second year LB Prince Shembo after he was charged with Aggravated Cruelty to Animals...Shembo a former player at Notre Dame, had admitted to his now ex-girlfriend that he had kicked/killed her dog after she had left the Yorkie with him...The dogs injuries were as follows...

"The dog had a fractured rib, fractured liver, abdominal hemorrhage, thoracic hemorrhage, extensive bruising and hemorrhage in the muscles in her front leg and shoulders, head trauma, hemorrhage and edema in lungs, hemorrhage between the esophagus and trachea, and hemorrhage in the left eye with internal injuries," police said.

What a fucking asshole!

Now I'm a diehard, loyal Notre Dame fan, but I have no problem calling bullshit on them when needed...And clearly Notre Dame had the warning signs that this guy was a fucking psycho...While at Notre Dame Shembo was accused of Sexually Assaulting female 19 year old St. Mary's College student  Lizzy Seeberg...

The Police filed no charges and there was no real investigation...Shembo wasn't even interviewed...Seeberg was told to by friends of Shembo to not "mess with the football program"...The University, instead of investigating the assault charges, started a smear campaign against Seeberg...Within 10 days of her assault, she killed herself...

Then the University felt some pressure to look into it, but it was far too little, and way too late...Shembo's name was kept quiet throughout the whole thing...Seeberg's father said that "the university and police more aggressively investigated the 2012 case of linebacker Manti Te'o's fictitious girlfriend than that of his dead daughter."

It wasn't until he admitted that he was player in question during the NFL combine that it became public knowledge...So the Falcons also knew he was a possible piece of shit too, and still drafted him...Such is the NFL...

I hope ND has changed how they handle things like this, but the big business of football often clouds judgment...I'm very disappointed.

Sexual Assault...Killing a dog...What's next for this psycho Shembo!?!

In Other News...

So, we're looking at a battle of the O's....

Oregon vs. Ohio State for College Football's new and improved National Championship...Go ahead and guess who I'm rooting for....Well shit, when these final four teams were picked I said then I was going with the Ducks....I hate FSU and Winston...Wow did he look like a fool! I hate Alabama and SEC country, which put me in the odd spot of rooting for Ohio State Thursday night...But you won't see me doing that again...Gotta strap on some green, or whatever damn color scheme the Ducks will be wearing for the big game!  I'm all in...Deep down inside I was meant to live in the Pacific Northwest!

-Earlier in the day I popped on the Cotton Bowl...But I quickly turned it off...1. ESPN has decided to change their in-game scoreboard graphic, which was taking up an eighth of the screen...2. They were playing the Cotton Bowl...But they weren't playing in the Cotton Bowl...It just didn't look right...I know this isn't the first time, but I'm old-school...You play the damn Cotton Bowl in the Cotton Bowl....

-Luckily there was something much better on TV to watch...The Winter Classic...

I had no rooting interest...Ok, slightly...Caps Goalie Braden Holtby is on my fantasy team, so I was glad to see him get the win...Also, the jerseys the Caps wore were the best looking ones they've ever had....The Blackhawks Jersey just had slight changes to their classic style...

The Winter Classic has become one of something the NHL has done well over the last few years...

I know they added extra outdoor games last year, and I feared it would be over-kill, but they haven't ruined it yet....Yet, is always a key word with the NHL...


-Earlier this week the Notre Dame Fighting Irish did their best to salvage their Football season...It started well, but the wheels fell off after the loss the FSU....But they managed to beat LSU...I hate LSU, LSU fans, and the SEC gasbags that will tell you a 4 loss SEC team should be in the National Championship over an undefeated team from anywhere else...So, while not thoroughly impressed with my Irish, I was still very pleased to beat those ass-hats...A win is a win...A win over a SEC team is even sweeter!

-So, it is 2015...Still feels a lot like 2014...2014 sucked for the most part in my own little world...I have hopes that 2015 is much better...The Holidays blew past me...It was a blur...For the first time in my life, I really didn't enjoy the Christmas season...I hate that feeling...Christmas Eve and morning I enjoyed seeing the kids enjoyment...but when it was all over, and Christmas night when everyone was in bed, I sat in my chair depressed...Not wanting it t o end, because I felt like I missed most of it...I stayed up late watching the last glimpses of Christmas movies...Sadly the last thing playing on TV was Christmas with the Kranks...Wow did that blow...

So, while I never make New Year's resolutions, this year I will...One, to get healthier...Two, no matter how, busy, tired, frustrated, and whatever else, I will get into, and enjoy the Christmas season of 2015 and not just get it done...Three, I'll win the fucking Lotto!

I hope you all had a great New Years...At least better then this fool's...

And I hope by now, you aren't still feeling like this...

Have a week...

Have a great 2015...

Yep...Monday comes running in like a boot to the head!

Seriously, when I saw this play, I laughed my ass off...This play, and well the play that followed pretty much some up the Cleveland Browns since 1999...




Now lets be honest...Brown could have easily cut left, and blown past Lanning, just as he did to ever other member or the Punt coverage team...But shit, what would make this highlight sweeter? Hurdling the damn punter...Dude had to go for it...But when he realized he wasn't going to clear Lanning, or Lanning wasn't getting out of the way...Fuck, time to move that punter...BOOT TO THE HEAD!  Not a Steelers fan...Not Browns fan...But damn I loved this play!

So, they moved it back because the refs felt the boot to the head was "unnecessary roughness"...Okay, give it to Bell now that we see the Browns can't quite tackle! It's so damn Cleveland, us Clevelanders can't be mad...You just gotta laugh!

And I don't care fellow Clevelanders...So what the Browns came back in the second half, and tied it up...Way to go! Then they fell for a fake punt deep in the Steelers end...Totally got burned...Right then they lost the momentum...And eventually they gave up a big drive, followed by an easy game winning field goal wit h no time left...Sorry, no moral victory...They did what they do best...They lost!

Up next for the Browns...A pissed off New Orleans Saints team that got beat by the Falcons...

Hey, anyone see what happened in College Football this past weekend? Texas got abused, at home, by BYU...I forget the score, but it was BYU: a lot, and Texas: hey when is Texas showing up?

Ohio State lost in prime-time , at home, to unranked Virginia Tech...Urban Meyer admitted afterwards that the Hokies exposed their weaknesses...Like, apparently they stopped recruiting QB's when Braxton Miller signed there, and their young offensive line needs a fuck-ton of practice...

Oregon was down to Michigan State...But then they flipped the NIKE switch, and blew the Spartans out of the water in the second half...

But the best game, in my opinion, was the final matchup (for the time being) between Notre Dame and Michigan...If there is one thing I have in common with Ohio State fans, it's a pure hatred for Michigan...Well, folks...The Irish ended this rivalry in fucking style...The beat the shit out of Michigan 31-0....31-0!




Awesome! There's nothing else to say....



No, seriously, I've got nothing else to say...

Oh, did I forget your weekly eye candy?

Here ya go...

Have a week...

Monday Moaning

That's right people...Kate Upton is a Rangers fan too...But lets be honest...Smart, foulmouthed guys like me, and good looking women have one thing in common...Our love of the Rangers...Am I right Margot Robbie?

Yeah....I'm right....

Sunday night the Rangers tied up their series with the cheap-shotting, always crying, Shittsburgh Penguins...The last couple of games the Rangers seem to be clicking...Although it still scares me that the line of Brassard, Pouliot, and Zuccarello have been their best line...Pssst...Rick Nash, get your shit together!   Game 7 will be Tuesday night...And of course, like most games nights...I'll be working...SHIT!

And anyone who wants to deny Crosby is a cheap-shotting, dirty, crybaby player...NBC Sports actually showed it, and called him on it...I know...I was shocked too...It was after game 5 and the Rangers had all the Penguins frustrated...Crosby slashed, speared, cross-checked, shoved, multiple Rangers, and then would cry when some one knocked him on his ass, or pushed back...Here's a clip from game 6 of Crosby being a punk-ass...But there's a bonus feature in it...




Watch closely, as Crosby is slammed to the ice, and Lundqvist is skating by...Henrik gives him a little water bottle squirt to the face...I love it....

It's even more funny, because there was all kinds of shit raised about Bruins Shawn Thorton squirting PK Subban in the face Saturday...I believe Thorton was fined...So I'm sure Boston will be watching to see what happens with this...Mind you, any fine they could give Lundqvist wouldn't even dent his wallet...

Anyways...Fuck Crosby...I'd completely be happy if his career ended Tuesday...He may be a superstar that the NHL is trying to sell...But he's not what you should be selling...I would never tell a kid, 'watch Crosby, that's how you should play'...It's not...If I was building a hockey team and was told I had to take 5 Penguins...He wouldn't be on my team...He can score...Big deal...Hockey isn't just scoring...Fuck Crosby!

Now...I guess I need to talk about the NFL Draft...I mean it was the big news this week/weekend...I watched Thursday night...I loved the Browns trading down...They robbed the Bills of their 1st and 4th next year, just so the Bills could move up 5 spots...Then the Browns took shutdown corner Justin Gilbert...And Browns fans bitched...Heaven forbid you have a guy playing opposite Joe Haden to lockdown the secondary...There was even a former sports writer from the Cleveland Plain Dealer who bitched on twitter how CB's don't win games, QB's do...Hey Timmy Rogers, maybe that's why you're out of work dipshit...You're right, Seattle's defense had nothing to do with their success...Fucking idiots!

Then all the talk was about Johnny Manziel falling...Except, if anyone paid any real attention to scouts, you'd know that NO NFL team thought he was worth a top 10 pick...Then the Browns jumped up from 26 to 22 for their 5th round pick, and....They took Manziel....And Cleveland went batshit, fucking crazy with joy...A new savior has risen to throw interceptions!

Forgive me for not being as excited as the rest of Cleveland...I don't like the kid...And I don't think he'll last in the NFL...Then Friday it was leaked that the Browns paid $100,000 for a full, analytical, statistical breakdown, of who would be the best QB in this draft for them...It came back Teddy Bridgewater...So, that the guy I liked, and I'm not surprised the Browns ignored what their money told them...Then, just before round two and three kicked off, it was released that All-Pro, WR Josh Gordon failed another drug test...Second in the NFL, plus two in college...Some fucking assholes never learn...So he'll be suspended for awhile...But the Browns didn't change their draft strategy, even after it broke the WR Nate Burleson broke his arm in OTA's...So Greg Ooops I Dropped It Little is the man, because the Browns drafted no WR's...But I really like the RB from Towson they drafted...Could have...Better have a strong ground game this year!

Listen, I don't like the Manziel pick, but I like how they got there...I like that they raped the Bills over 5 spots, so they walk into next years draft with 2 first rounders again...I love the Gilbert pick...Dude also is quick and can return kicks...They picked up a good Tackle, and a good Running back...A strong LB from Iowa, and another depth CB...They had a plan and they executed it...We'll see how it works...


And then some draft news for all the Notre Dame haters...The Irish had 8 players drafted...Then 6 undrafted free agents signed...How'd your team?

Oh, and when you watch the draft next year, watch on the NFL Network...Fuck Berman, Gruden, Kiper, and Ray Lewis...And besides those annoying ass-hats, Mike Mayock blows Kiper out of the water...Dude knows his shit...Hits on a lot more then Kiper or McShay...Shit, Mayock nailed it at pick 100 when it was a kid that won't even play next year because of a ACL injury that happened at the senior bowl...I about shit...

That's it for now...

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...

WOW!

That's all you can say...This past week the Cleveland Browns traded Trent Richardson to the Colts...Cleveland fans were pissed, and rightfully so...HERE was my view the day after...Most Browns fans saw it as the organization throwing in the towel on the season...That tied with the fact that 3rd string QB Brian Hoyer was going to start this week's game...Then our pal Radatz posted THIS history of the Browns on Sunday...For those who are unaware of the highs and lows of the franchise, it's a great piece...

So after all this, what happened Sunday?  The Browns rolled into Minnesota, and found their way to a 31-27 victory...The team seemed to have an energy they lacked the first two weeks...A key piece of that spark on offense was the return of Josh Gordon from a two game suspension...Hoyer added another spark...While the Vikings did get three picks, Hoyer seemed to scan the field better then Weeden...And the most noticeable thing he did was get the ball out of his hand quickly...Quick decision making and quick release...Something Weeden hasn't shown...

That said, I'm not planning on seeing the Browns in the postseason...Part of this win falls on the Vikings Defense that has shown a knack to crumble in the fourth quarter...That and their offense has looked one-dimensional...Hoyer is probably not the long term answer, but he could be a nice stop-gap for the time being...Sunday's game may have helped Browns fans' mood...It may have helped people's view of the front office, but I suspect that will be short lived after next week, when in my opinion they'll lose to the Bengals...

-This week College Football was full of a lot of shit games...A week full of many of the big boys beating on smaller programs...People were raving in this neck of the woods about (4) Ohio State destroying FAMU 76-0...Well no offense to FAMU, but Ohio State should have destroyed them...(1) Alabama beat Colorado State 31-6...But don't let the score fool you...'Bama struggled...They didn't pull away until the fourth quarter...Heading into the 4th they were only up 17-6 and the Rams had shut them out in the 3rd quarter...

For the second week in a row, (15) Michigan nearly lost to a team they should have blown out...It wasn't until just under 5 minutes left in the game, that the Wolverines took a 24-21 lead...Did these guys shoot their load against Notre Dame, or are they simply playing down to their competition?

Speaking of (22) Notre Dame, they defeated rival Michigan State 17-13 in a sloppy, sloppy game...both teams didn't look that good...You could call it a defensive battle, and both D's did play well, but both teams racked up too many penalties...And Irish QB Tommy Rees showed too many flashes of his old self...Looking right at his primary target...Not scanning the field...Luckily, MSU's aggressive corners were too busy getting too physical with receivers, drawing penalties, instead of reading Rees' eyes...Sooner or later,  Rees is going to lose a game all on his own...He's just not that good...For 3 years I've been dying to see Andrew Hendrix get a real shot as  the starter...I don't think Coach Kelly has that in his plans unless Rees gets hurt, or full-out shits the bed, which he has done before...The road doesn't get any easier as (14) Oklahoma comes to South Bend this week...

-If you were looking for a shootout this weekend, your game was Friday night as Boise State and Fresno State got it on...I missed the first half...Friday evening I decided I needed to get away from this house for a bit...This new puppy shit added to the mix has been kicking my ass...For some reason, I'm the one this dog wakes up in the middle of the night...And I'm the one he wakes up at 5:30 AM everyday...Between the kids, and my role as Mr. Mom, along with work, mixing in the puppy, I was feeling frazzled...So, I went to a local bar and watched the Indians game and talked movies with some strangers...And I got a solid buzz on...

When I came home, (slice of cheese cake in hand to help stay out of the dog house) I popped on this game...I always enjoy watching both these teams...Sadly, I passed out in my chair...Luckily Finnegan the puppy started jumping on me and scratching my leg to wake me up at 3:30ish AM...The game was being replayed...So I took him to dump, then he ran around the house like a maniac, and threw  stuffed dog a hump be fore he laid back down...And I enjoyed watching Boise State coming back to take the lead with 7 minutes left, followed by Fresno State scoring the game tying TD and game winning extra point with 2 minutes left...41-40 Fresno State...

I ended up staying up until 8:30AM...Then I went to bed for a 3 hours before getting back to the grind...

So, since I mentioned the little mutt...I may a swell share this video I took this past week...And Older couple down the street have the same type of dog...The kids loved seeing it when they would walk him...This dog is what started the push for us to get one...He's a year old now, and has some size on our 6 week old Finnegan...And Finnegan missing playing with his sisters, and dad, was looking to get rough with another dog...This is just tiny bit of what was an hour of Finnegan acting tough...




The other dog, Jasper was actually afraid at first, but he finally realized he could easily knock Finn on his butt...And up until this interaction, we had only heard two tiny barks from Finn...The kids got quite a kick out of it...

That's it for now...

Now if you saw this at the Browns game, then you actually would have had a decent reason for all that wasted time and money...To steal from Ben Folds, Sunday the Browns opened their season at home against the Dolphins in "The Battle of who could care less." Although the Jets and Bucs seemed to have one of those going on too...

Living in Cleveland and being a sports fan sucks...You won't get the normal Cleveland whining from me though..."We're cursed"..."I'll never see a championship"..."Just one before I die"..."Art Modell and LeBron did this to us"..."Why did we trade ROCKY_COLAVITO?"...Fuck that...Grow up! 

The Browns suck because of years of bad management...The Expansion Browns were a rush job and everytime a new coach and/or GM come in, let alone owner, the process is started over again, because they all want to do it their way...Sundays in Cleveland were happier days when the Browns were gone...Clevelanders spent a lot less money on Sundays...Fans loyalty shifted solely to their fantasy players...Now you always have that one dope who;s gotta draft Browns...You go right ahead and draft Weeden and his 3 picks! Nothing like a second year QB who is a project, and he's about to turn 30...Just one of many problems that the Browns put on display Sunday...I will say the defense wasn't half bad...They shutdown the Dolphins ground game...Although that could be because the Dolphins don't have a ground game...

The Browns lost Sunday, and they looked bad doing it...I know Clevelanders hate this local boy for his negative views,  but since I gave up on being a loyal Cleveland sports fan, I've been a lot happier...Sunday I watched the whole Browns game...It was the first time I've watched a Browns game from start to finish in 2 years...I just wanted to see the direction this new coaching staff/GM/owner were going in...I wanted to see if there may be any progress...Looks like the same old shit...Maybe I'll see ya in another 2 years....Go Seahawks!

Sadly, Saturday evening sucked for us Notre Dame fans...The (#14) Irish fell to (#17) Michigan 41-30...So much for the Irish Defense being the unit to rely on...Not that the offense was stellar...One Irish TD came on a Stephon Tuitt interception in the end zone...

One point that needs to be made to coach Kelly and his offensive staff...Golson isn't there...Tommy Rees is your guy, but he can't throw on the run...So taking those fucking plays out of the game plan....Or play Hendrix who has a better arm, and can run, and can run and throw at the same time...Rees threw a INT late in the first half that was very costly...He was rolling left and attempted a throw he can't make...This is the shit that gets Rees in trouble...Coach, you want to stop screaming at the kid...Stop trying to get him to do shit he can't do...

I didn't expect the Irish to win this one...After week one, it seemed clear to me that Michigan was a better team...Then Kelly said stupid ass shit about how he didn't think Notre Dame vs. Michigan was that big of a rivalry...WTF! Where the fuck have you been...I've been to 4 ND/Michigan games...Shit is intense...By halftime I'm looking for a Michigan fan to skull fuck!  When he said that shit, I just knew it...Brady Hoke was gonna have his guys geared up...And look out Buckeyes...Hoke has got that program turned around...That Big-10 title isn't locked up yet...

There were other fans feeling low Saturday...(#15) Texas got fucking steam rolled by BYU, giving up 550 yards on the ground...The QB ran for 259...Hey Texas, the read option is here to stay...Time to get in some film study and tackling drills!

(#25) USC Trojans showed they don't deserve their ranking, losing at home to Washington State, 10-7...USC only scoring 7 points...Wow that is beautiful! The world's most overrated douchebag coach, Lane Kiffin looked clueless...As usual...He tried both his QB's because he just can't figure out which one sucks less...How many more chances is this dick-bag going to get...He fails and leaves programs in a mess, yet he keeps coming back...I hope USC keeps him for awhile so he can run that program into the ground for a long time...

(#12) Florida fell to Miami 21-16, turning the ball over 5 times...(#16) Oklahoma, like USC, grossly overrated, squeaked past West Virginia 16-7 in an ugly game...(#7) Texas A&M gave up 28 points and 240 rushing yards in their victory over Sam Houston State...Boy oh boy the rest of the SEC are going eat them up....

For the second game in a row, South Carolina star defensive end, Jadeveon Clowney didn't do much to live up to the Heisman hype that has been swirling around him...His (#6) Gamecocks fell to (#11) Georgia 41-30 in what was a must win for the Bulldogs after falling to Clemson last week...

In Beeze news, we're getting a puppy...The talk has gone on for awhile...I fought it for a few years...But the wife, and Molls broke me...We picked out a little fella when friend shad a litter recently...We've named him Finnegan...Finn for short...

 His got a little cleft lip, but it gives him some character...He's been healthy, and goes to the Vet this week for another check...And if the Vet gives the okay, we'll get him by the weekend...He's been the most active of the three puppies, and the first to eat solid food...He's little but tough...We went to see him Saturday...

Molls loves the him...Or as she put it..."Him my puppy, Finnegan loves me!"

Mrs. Beeze is all excited to buy stuff for the puppy...I swear to God she's more excited then the kids...That is until the first time he shits in her shoes...

That's it for now...

Well here we are...This is the first time I have opened my laptop in 5 days...Yes I looked at some things via my iphone, but other than looking at Twitter, Facebook, and a bit of news, I took a mini-vacation from the Internet...I mean, Summer is at it's end...My oldest and I took in our first high school football game of the season Friday...And yes, College Football season kicked off this week...So there is no shortage of sports to write about....

So why not start with the hot topic...Johnny Manziel...The NCAA hit him with a meaningless, weak, 1 half suspension for the first game...The first game being against Rice....That'll teach him!  And anyone who thinks he didn't break the rules...You're foolish...There is a story quietly floating around that this could be an even bigger deal, that the NCAA wants to keep quiet, and that may be why they reacted so swiftly, and softly with Manziel...A CLIENT_LIST of College Football players going back to 2004 who signed shit for money...

But then there was Manziel, taking the field in the second half against Rice...




Hey, I'm okay with trash talk to a degree, but when all this shit just went down, and your first move out of the gate is to air-sign autographs...That's a dick-bag move...But wait, there's more...

Look, Johnny just threw a TD pass...Now he's counting his money....Fucking dick-bag...Then late in the game after throwing another TD pass, he went and talked trash to some Rice players, and got flagged for it...



Big, fucking, Dick-Bag....After this move, the coach yanked him...And he's got to be concerned about how many more headaches is this kid going to give the program...And while Johnny is talking shit, maybe he should realize that Rice may not have won, but they just showed everyone in the country how weak the A&M defense is...Rice scored 31 points while gaining 509 yards...306 of those on the ground...

Manziel has talent, but he's clearly an asshole...For the record, I'm rooting for him to fail, and fail big-time...This now brings us to Backell...If you don't know him, he's a douchebag from way back in the days when we all blogged at Sporting News...There are many reasons to dislike this guy...Like being a liar, and a fake...Saturday, he started a threat on a Facebook page, commenting about Manziel's taunting...

"I've just got say, Johnny Manziel is really putting his signature on this game.

I went there."

People came in, and dropped their one liners, and two-cents, and then suddenly Backell called out everyone's comments ripping Manziel for being "#sechaters"

Well, I do hate the SEC, but as many of us pointed out, this was not about how we may or may not feel about the SEC...It was how we felt about Manziel, his antics, and his disrespect for his teammates, opponents, the game, and the NCAA...Which, I have no respect for the NCAA either!

So "F5", you wanted to stir the pot...You wanted some attention...Well here you have it...You made it into Monday Moaning...I can can only speak for myself, although I know many who feel the same...You're hack...You're an arrogant douchebag...And you're an asshole...You and Johnny Manziel will make a lovely couple, eating each others asses in your own little, asshole hell!

-In other College Football news...North Dakota State upset Kansas State 24-21...If that isn't sexy enough...Eastern Washington upset (#25) Oregon State 49-46...Those FCS schools are fucking with people!

And all of you who get pissed about hearing about (#19) Boise State late in every season, and how they could throw a monkey wrench in the system...No worries...The Washington Huskies dominated Boise State 38-6...(#18) Nebraska squeaked out a 37-34 win over Wyoming...I'd like to thank Ohio State for not covering the spread against Buffalo...The Buckeyes only beat the Bulls 40-20...That's my gambling tip people...First couple weeks of the season, when the big guns have a cream-puff on the schedule...Take the puff with the points...Love that shit!

-My Fighting Irish were not spectacular in their 28-6 win over Temple...They looked fucking amazing during their first two offensive series, and it looked like it was going to get real ugly, real fast...But the Irish got a bit sloppy...Too many penalties...The Special Teams were awful...I'm trying to get a scholarship this week to be their new kicker...At times the defense seem to be taking plays off, and were playing a lot of bend don't break...

There is plenty of talent on this team, but if they don't clean it up, they'll get smoked at Michigan next week...

Molls was happy with the win...

-The big game of the week was (#5) Georgia at (#8) Clemson...I give both teams credit for opening their season with this big game this...If Clemson loses they're out of National Championship contention...If Georgia loses, they'll have to run the table the rest of the way, and get some luck...The game lived up to the hype...And so did Clemson QB Tajh Boyd, (my #2 pick for the Heisman) who passed for 3 TD's and rushed for 2 more leading Clemson to a 38-35 win...

-My #1 guy for the Heisman, Louisville QB, Teddy Bridgewater torched Ohio U. for 355 yards and 5 TD's Sunday in 49-7 win...Even more impressive to me was Louisville's defense shutting down the Bobcats strong ground game, holding them to just 81 yards, and forcing them to try to do it all through the air...

-Lastly, I want to talk about Keith Olbermann...I liked him early on...Then in his later years at MSNBC his act got old...He became quite annoying...But now he is back talking sports...He's doing some things with sports, that made him appealing in his early "Countdown" days...Last week he had a great segment taking apart the NCAA...Then I saw this...Talking about concussions and and idiot columnist, Pete Prisco...




I know Olbermann has a rep as a douche, but he's doing some good stuff on ESPN2 week nights at 11:00PM...

That's it for now...

So, you may have noticed that my blogging has slacked off...I use to post at least three times a week...Not so much anymore...I won't lie, there are times I want to write, but there are times that I think about it, and I say, "ahhhh, screw it!"  I'll also say this...Back in late December, 2012 I saw and heard a lot of people that were thrilled 2012 was ending...They hated that year...No me...I loved it...2013 on the other hand has sucked ass...My wife and I are looking forward to 2014...That is after the financial gauntlet that his December passes...Both the girls birthdays and Christmas...Yeah, December gets tight...

This year we dealt with a bunch of crap with my wife's parents...Her father had multiple strokes...His Dementia has gone wild...He's a totally different person now...Her mom losing her mind, from dealing with him...Getting them settled into an assisted living place...We've burned up our vacation time and money dealing with that stuff...The last step for awhile hopefully was taken care of this past week...My wife sold her parents house...There was some sadness mixed with relief...

Then we got a notice from the city...We've been cited for our garage...The roof started ripping off back during the Ohio version of "Super Storm Sandy"...We have an asshole neighbor who has complained before...He also complained about our hedge...The city said it needs to be shorter than 8 feet...This pisses me off because asshole neighbor has 10 foot tall hedge...The Beeze will be making some calls this week...Too bad one will be to a roofer...

There is other stuff on my mind...Work related stuff....The Beeze is feeling unappreciated after almost 20 years with this company...These fuckers have been cheap with the cash, and clearly loyalty doesn't matter anymore...So, I been looking...And I've had offers...The wife and I are weighing the options and something will be settled on soon...

With that all said, writing has fallen by the wayside...But Friday I found a few things that caught my interest and shared them HERE...

-So I cam across this Sunday evening...

 

 

Yep...Those are your highest paid public employees...In 27 states it a head football coach...13 states it a head basketball coach...College Presidents took 5 states...Pretty scary...Even scarier when I read this....Is anyone surprised that the top dog in Nevada is a Medical School Plastic Surgeon!?! Holy Shit, even in Hawaii it's a football coach...I thought the State would have had Dog the Bounty Hunter on the payroll by now!

"This revenue rarely makes its way back to the general funds of these universities. Looking at data from 2011-2012, athletic departments at 99 major schools lost an average of $5 million once you take out revenue generated from “student fees” and “university subsidies.” If you take out “contributions and donations”’some of which might have gone to the universities had they not been lavished on the athletic departments’this drops to an average loss of $17 million, with just one school (Army) in the black. All this football/basketball revenue is sucked up by coach and AD salaries, by administrative and facility costs, and by the athletic department’s non-revenue generating sports; it’s not like it’s going to microscopes and Bunsen burners."

So why exactly are our tax dollars going to pay these guys?

"Far exceeding these base salaries is the “additional compensation” that almost all of these coaches receive, which is tied to media appearances, apparel contracts, and fundraising. While this compensation does not come directly from the state fund it is guaranteed in the coaches’ contracts; if revenue falls short, the school’and thus the state’is on the hook to cover the difference."

More and more I find myself being turned off by the world of college sports...I hate saying that because I have always loved college football, hockey, and baseball...I just don't know anymore...College Coaches are getting millions, and communities and cities have to keep laying off Police and Firefighters, and cutting elementary school programs...But fuck it, Pay Urban Meyer a fuck-ton to coach football, while the department he works for loses money...AWESOME!

-So now that I bagged on big-time college football...Let me talk about some bad news from Notre Dame...A private school, so you folks in Indiana can't be pissed about how they spend money!

The Irish's starting outside linebacker, Danny Spond has retired from Football...After missing the first two games last year while hospitalized with migraine headaches and what was thought to be concussion symptoms, Spond played the rest of the year, and caught the attention of NFL scouts...Many were looking forward to what Spond would do in his senior season, and had high hopes...

When it was announced, it was said Spond was doing so for medical reasons...All the assumptions have it being a concussion thing, but now that is being squashed...Spond was seen walking into the facility with a cane, so the reason why is still unclear, and Irish fans are waiting for Spond to explain...Coach Brian Kelly said, "He loves his teammates, but I think he did what was in his best interest for his future." Kelly also said Spond, who was Kelly's first committed recruit, "He'll be with us every day. He'll travel with us. He'll help coach."

I hope Health-wise Spond will be okay...He'll be missed on that Defense...It will fall on Junior Ben Councell and  Freshman Jaylon Smith to pick up the slack at OLB...

-Now last week I promised some college football posts were on the way...That still is going to happen...I've been doing some homework...This week my Heisman preview/prediction will go up...And just a teaser for ya...Johnny Football isn't in my top 5...That's how this year is gonna go!

That's it for now...

Have a week...

It is the Monday after the NFL Draft, and I don't know about you, but I need a bath...Why you ask? Well, I live in Cleveland...And after this draft, it really fucking stinks in here! 

There is this thing in Cleveland when everyone gets their hopes up when the Draft rolls around...Sadly, since 1999 the Browns have had a lot more misses then hits...In April Browns fans are blindly optimistic, lead by the Cleveland media that is more often than not blindly swinging on the nuts of the team, and believing everything they say to be gospel...There are very few who are willing to criticize the team on draft weekend, and those who do, like me, get shouted down....

Example: When the Browns took Notre Dame Safety Jamoris Slaughter in the 6th round, I voiced my displeasure with this move...You know I love ND, and I like Slaughter, but kid played 3 games, and tore his Achilles last year....The year before he missed most the season after a shoulder injury...He was only in the draft because the NCAA disallowed a second medical redshirt...Yes, he's a big hitter...But he's a small guy, just under 6 ft. and 195 pounds...So of course it was tweeted at me that in 39 games he made 98 tackles...Big fucking deal...Former ND safety, now Vikings safety made 93 tackles in one season...Another ND Safety, Zeke Motta, taken in the 7th round by the Falcons made 77 tackles this year...Why the fuck wouldn't you take the heavy hitter that he is, instead of the guy who has been hurt the last two seasons?

Another asshole tweeted at me, "You know it's the 6th round?" Yeah dick face...I also know there are better players and players who aren't hurt out there!  Everyone at 92.3 the Fan are fucking idiots, who just got the rights top air the Browns games this season, so they're all afraid to be fucking honest...

Then they start tweeting that Mike Mayock was raving about the Browns getting Slaughter...Well no shit...He gets one of his paychecks doing color for Notre Dame games...He's not gonna blast a ND guy...Fucking tools!

The Browns first round pick, Barkevious Mingo, DE from LSU...Fine pick there...They had no 2nd round pick...They gave that up when they took Josh Gordon in the supplemental draft last year...Fine...Kid has skills...3rd round they took CB, Leon McFadden from San Diego St....WTF!  Kid is 5-9...I like my corners a little taller...Kid ran a 4.5 40...I like my corners faster, especially if they are short...Kid was projected as a 6th rounder....Of fucking course he was!  Then they show a quick video of him...The clip showed him getting beat by a WR 4-5 inches taller and if the QB could hadn't overthrown it, it's a TD...

No worries, the Browns have more picks...Wait, they traded a 4th and 5th to the Dolphins for Devone Bess...Okay, so adding him, plus the recent acquisition of David Nelson, the Browns are okay at WR...Then they traded another 4th round pick to Pittsburgh for their 4th round pick next year...Then they traded another 5th round pick to the Colts for their 5th round pick next year...Okay, so they are already throwing in the towel on this year's draft...Got it...

In the 7th round they drafted two guys, one DE and one OL, both from division 2 schools...Listen, no offense to D-2 guys, but if you wanted them, you probably could have signed them as rookie free agents...The DE has a great history of getting busted for selling dope to undercover police...TWICE!  Great pick...Then the Browns went and signed Notre Dame C/G Braxston Cave...(Finally a smart move)...They also locked up Bess for 3 years...

The media kept saying this draft was weak...Light in star players...So maybe be smart and load up on depth...Like the Patriots who traded out of the 1st round (29 overall) for a 2,3,4,and 7th round picks...Oh, and they made a trade Jeff Demps and a 7 for LaGarrette Blount...The depth they added...2 WR, OLB, ILB, CB, S, and DE...3 players, all on Defense from Rutgers...I guess Bill liked something he saw from the Scarlet Knights D...

All I know for sure, is a couple months back I talked about me and my sports fandom being free agents when it comes to the NFL and MLB, because the Browns and Indians make me sick...I gave my baseball fandom to The Nationals with an eye on the Orioles and Pirates...In the NFL I talked about the Seahawks and Patriots...Yeah, sticking with that...The Browns proved me right this weekend...All I had to see was what the Bengals and Steelers, and Ravens were doing in the draft...Ravens looking to fill holes and maintain...Steelers and Bengals looking to get better...And they both did...The Browns look like they are maintaining...Only problem is, no one should want to maintain when you are a perennial loser!

-Other Draft news...Matt Barkley proved something I've known for awhile...USC QB's are overrated...4th round to Philly...Ouch...Which of their 4 QB's will stay and which will go?

Geno Smith doesn't go in the 1st round, which is hilarious since both ESPN and NFL network filled their promo shit with him...Lucky guy then goes to the Jets...Clearly the Jets wanted to lead the league in drama again...6 QB's now...Including the hack, Mark Sanchez, and the media darling Tim Tebow, now adding Smith who has already shown what a twat he is by tweeting his smarmy feelings to scouts and draft "experts"...Kid is going to flop...Especially going to that environment...

What I watched of the draft I watched on the NFL Network...ESPN is awful...I can't stand Berman, Gruden, and Kiper...How is it old Mel keeps his job...All this guy does is analyze players for the draft, and he is religiously wrong...Mayock is a douche, but he's right a lot more than the dopes on ESPN....

But then the NFL Network guys got on my nerves when they wouldn't shut up about Manti Te'o...People, you want to know why he slipped?  Watch the National Championship game again...Missed tackle after missed tackle...Found himself out of position to make plays for the first time all year...On the biggest stage...With a cloud of lies hanging over his head about a fake, dead girlfriend...It's not the girlfriend shit...It's not even the slow 40 time...It's that game, and how he got owned...I knew he'd get drafted...There is too much potential there not too...But 1st round...No way...hey, lucky for him, he's going to San Diego...Wasn't his girl in the Hospital there!?!

-The NHL playoffs will get started this week...My NY Rangers are playing well and seem to have it all together at the right time...They'll start off with The Washington Capitals...Hopefully they roll right through them...Rick Nash finally gets to take his game to the Playoffs...Looking to see him shine...

Chicago is the favorite out West, but they open up with the Minnesota Wild who have been a pain in their ass this year...The Wild have invested a lot this year...They want to win now...Should be an interesting goaltending battle between The Wild's Backstrom and The Blackhawks' Crawford...Both teams have firepower, so it will come down to which goalie can steal a game or two.

-This coming Saturday we have the Kentucky Derby...I love Derby day...We get the kids together and all pick horses...The kids have done well the last few years...Always a good time...Maybe I'll give them a couple Mint Juleps...Make it easier to take their money!

-One last thing...Last week I wrote about my love of Boston, and about how awesome that city was in the face of tragedy...I meant every word of it...But I have to say, I'm kind of getting sick of the media and Boston itself patting themselves on the back for singing the National Anthem at sporting events...No offense Beantown, but where I grew up, that's what you're suppose to do...Be proud, but no need for a curtain call for doing what you're suppose to.

Have a week...

The Beeze's College Football Wrap Up

This week we start out with the great and powerful SEC, and their premiere team (#1) Alabama'a match up with SEC newcomer (#15) Texas A&M, who finished 6th in the Big-12 last year...Oh, what ever could the lowly Aggies do against the almighty Crimson Tide?

Let's switch that to Crimson Stain....Because 'Bama shit the bed Saturday, falling behind A&M 20-0 in the first quarter...Alabama struggled to fight their way back, and got themselves in position to take the lead...29-24 A&M is ahead..."Bama is driving...And then they shit the bed some more, as A. J. McCarron threw an INT at the goal line with a minute and a half left...

But wait, there's more...The Aggies ran the ball three times...'Bama holds, and uses time outs to save as much clock as possible...4th and short...A&M set to punt...'Bama jumps the neutral zone...FIRST DOWN AGGIES!  Game over!  Eat a dick overrated Alabama...And eat a dick overrated SEC...As every team you have tried to hang your hat on this season, has fallen on their face!

Aggies young, star QB, Johnny Manziel had a big day, passing for 253 yards, and 2 TD's, while rushing for 92 yards...This kid has a bright future ahead of him folks!

-Next we take a look at another SEC darling...(#7) Florida who was at home against Louisiana-Lafayette...This game was way too close if you're a Gator fan...How close? Florida returned a blocked punt for a TD wit two seconds left, to take the lead, and win...Yes, Florida has had a better team than people expected, but when you struggle against ULL, it proves you weren't ready for prime time...

-Speaking of not ready for prime time...(#9) Louisville did what all Big East teams do...Remind us that the Big East is garbage...The Cardinals went down to Syracuse...Syracuse...Thanks to Louisville, these Orange dopes are now a .500 team...Louisville gave up 278 rushing yards to the 'Cuse, as the Orange won 45-26....Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater passed for 424 yards and 3 TD's, and it just wasn't going to be enough on senior day in Syracuse...

-(#2) Kansas State went to Fort Worth to take on TCU, looking to jump up to the #1 spot, with Alabama falling to Texas A&M...Collin Klein and company didn't put up huge numbers this, as they battled and grinded out a tough 23-10 win against the Horn Frogs...The talking heads already have (#3) Oregon leap-frogging to number 1, but I've got K-State at the top spot...Especially since, as I write this, Cal is only down 17-10 against the Ducks, and it's almost halftime...Normally Oregon has hung 50 on teams by this point...

-The (#11) Oregon State Beavers were having a heck of a season until they took their second loss in three weeks...This time at the hands of the (#14) Stanford Cardinal, 27-23...With Cal and Oregon left, Oregon State's season is just going to get tougher...While Stanford heads to Oregon and then to UCLA to finish out their year...I guess their road won't be too easy either...

-Next up, the (#4) Notre Dame Fighting Irish went to Chestnut Hill to face Boston College...

The Irish pounded out 3 long scoring drives, one in each of the first three quarters...They also had another good one going in the 2nd, but it was ended by a George Atkinson fumble...the first of two fumbles forced by BC...Both were good defensive plays, but the Irish defense made sure to keep the Eagles out of the end zone, as the Irish stayed undefeated with a 21-6 victory...

It seems each week, we see a little bit more growth, and confidence in red-shirt freshman QB, Everett Golson...Saturday he passed for 200 yards and 2 TD's, and rushed for 39 yards and another TD...Theo Riddick showed off his versatility rushing for 104 yards and catching 4 passes for 56yards...TE Tyler Eifert continued to improve his draft stock, with 6 catches for 67 yards...But more then that, the most improvement in his game, has been in his blocking...NFL teams gotta love a 6-6, 250 pound TE with great hands, good speed, great jumping ability, and excellent blocking skills...

Next for the Irish, they'll be at home against Wake Forest...Then they head to (#19) USC to finish out the season...The Trojans by the way, worked over Arizona State, 38-17...

-This week's Big Ten highlights...That just sounds silly...The Big Ten is such crap this year...Nothing like your conference's best team being under sanctions, so everything they do means nothing...

(#16) Nebraska had to come from behind to beat Pedo-Cover-Up University, 32-23...Then Michigan beat (#24) Northwestern 38-31 in OT...

-As for (#3) Oregon at Cal...While the Bears have been playing tough, the Ducks have started to do their thing, and have gone up 45-17at the start the 4th quarter...So I'm assuming they will hold on to win...I'm off to bed...We'll see tomorrow...

Feel free to add your two cents...

Monday Moaning

I've never really liked Halloween...I always thought it was a stupid holiday/tradition...I gave up on the whole trick or treating thing after 5th grade...Just seemed stupid...And like a waste of time, money, and effort...I guess I was born an old curmudgeon...

But I do like some of the costumes...

       
Yes, ladies get to wear whatever they want...And we don't mind...I mean, you never see a nurse look like this at the doctors office...

 
Halloween...Women's free pass to slut it up, and not have to take any shit for looking like a whore...

I could go on for days just posting pics of slutted up Halloween chicks, but shit, I've got a job and kids to worry about...So lets get on with this...First off, until my College Football WRAP_UP yesterday, I've pretty much avoided writing...I've just been uninterested...Hell, I barely went on Facebook and Twitter last week until Thursday...But Notre Dame beating Oklahoma Saturday got me going well....That along with the horrible injury to Marcus Lattimore...All that can be seen in the Wrap Up mentioned above...

I had fun bashing Rick Reilly after the ND win...I was giving it to him good, since he trashed ND this pre-season, all because his daddy was too stupid, and flunked out of Notre Dame...Reilly blocked me on twitter...What bitch...Fuck him, he's garbage...But I found it sad, that the ND win, and trashing Reilly was the highlight of my weekend....Seriously, this weekend just sucked for me...

My plans changed a couple times, and none of the things planned involved anything I wanted to do...I hate to complain, but it just sucked...First the Little Beeze and I were going to go camping with the Cub/Boy Scouts...But after the news broke a big story about years of covering up sexual abuse in the scouts, especially in Ohio, I started thinking differently...It didn't help their case that each week at the meetings, I look around at the adults in the room and think, 'these fuckers are weird...I'd never hang out with these creeps.'  

Then the wife was talking about a girls night Saturday...Then a couple days later she informed me she would be taking the kids on that event...All her and the gals were taking the kids trick or treating in the one skirt's neighborhood...She said, "you'll have the night off!"  I could deal with that...Just me and football...Then one of the gals said her dude was coming...So I got signed up too...Then she said, "Good, I can drink with the girls, and you can drive."  Promises were made...Luckily I got us out of there in time to see the ND game...I had enough of these people, and enough of the sugared up mess of kids...I hustled us out of there, got home...Got the kids to bed...Football and promises...But she doesn't drink as well as she did in her youth...She was feeling to sick to keep those promises...So it was just me and football...

And then of course, it hasn't stopped raining for 3 days...And this is before we get our blast from stupid Hurricane Sandy....Oh, and snow is a possibility in the forecast this week too...Sunday, the kids and I were going to get pumpkins, and all that happy horse shit, but the weather killed that...I didn't watch the Browns...They won 7-6...Doesn't sound like I would have enjoyed watching it anyways...I've thrown in the towel on the Browns...I'm just not going to intentionally piss myself off anymore...Just not worth it...I actually didn't watch any NFL games...I just wasn't interested...

The Giants swept the Tigers in the World Series...I can't offer any insight, because I didn't watch any of it...But I did just see Bud Selig present the Trophy to the Giants...He sounded like s sleepy stroke patient...Christ this guy needs to go...And my God, FOX is just putting Erin Andrews on TV constantly...Earn that over-inflated contract money bitch!

And in case you care, the NHL has canceled any possible games for November...1. No shit...2. Most people don't care, because the NHL lost all the steam they had gained the last few years, just by announcing the lockout...Personally, I haven't missed the NHL yet...And I won't this year, because I'm pissed...I've enjoyed following college hockey even more then I have in the past...I'll be fine without you NHL!

That's it for me now...But look for me to post a very offensive Halloween treat soon...

Have a week...

The Beeze.
