COVID 19 (Blog 3...The NHL)

I love hockey...I love it as much as any of you real hockey fans...Through this whole damn COVID-19 shit it is in the top 3 of things I miss the most...We can get into the other two in future posts...

Like all the sports and entertainment world the NHL has been trying to holdout hope of finishing the season and spit-balling ideas of how to finish the season or jump right into the playoffs or some form of them...Then there was talk of doing the playoffs all in North Dakota...Wonderful arena up there at UND...Throw all the teams into the dorms and hotels I guess...But that has fallen by the wayside...Maybe that's because COVID-19 cases just started to take off in that region...

There has been all kinds of ideas to do playoffs NCAA March Madness tournament style...They have talked about every team going into the playoffs...They have thrown all kinds of ideas out there, changing rules and altering what the season and playoffs traditionally are...I can't stand that kind of shit...

So it came today that the NHL is talking about firing up the rest of the season in July and only playing in 4-5 arenas that are strategically place regionally/conference-wise...

Let me get this straight...Rest of the season, then playoffs starting in July...The way the NHL playoffs go traditionally, The Stanley Cup will be won and within a week or so they will be starting the next season...Which throws free agency into a giant mess...It throws everything out of whack...And if come July things in this country and world are going to be getting back to normal, if only slightly, I don't think a whole lot of people other than diehards like me will be paying attention...

It's time for the NHL to do what the NCAA did...What Junior Hockey did...What high school athletics have done...Just accept it...Take the L. The season is over, there will be no Stanley Cup winner...Make sure everyone is healthy and come back next season and continue being the greatest sport on Earth.

The same goes for the NBA but I don't give a fuck about basketball... 

Have drink.
Stay Healthy.

Monday Moaning

Well, I said it last week...No way Jesus Tebow was going to beat the Patriots...That's right, Timmy Tebow is a mortal...Kneel before the almighty Tom Brady!

Now I didn't get to see all the game...I was indulging in some fine beer and old memories, and making some new ones, with some old friends from high school...But I caught enough glimpses to see the Patriots were throttling the Broncos...Sadly my wife called and informed me the Little Beeze was puking his brains out, and she needed me to come home and help with the chaos...So I drank some water and headed out into the snow to get home...So I saw the end of the game, when it was well out of reach...45-10 final...

My favorite comic, Boston native, Bill Burr gave his prediction for the game on Friday...And also was distracted by some young ladies...




Now the big question is, how will the talking heads handle losing Tebow for the rest of the playoffs? Will they bash him for shitting the bed...Will they praise him, and start hyping for next year...Oh how will the dip-shits at ESPN handle it...I'd say I can't wait to see, but I can...I won't be watching...

Saturday's first game between the Saints and 49ers was fun to watch...The Niners defense took it to the Saints high-powered offense early...In the second half the teams duked it out and to many peoples surprise, it was Alex Smith and company topping Drew Brees and the Saints, with a late TD, winning 36-32...

Sunday, the Ravens took out the Texans, but considering Houston turned it over 3 times, they managed to hang in there and make the Ravens earn it 20-13...And speaking of the Ravens, our pal Steve is a big Ravens fan, who also works for UPS...Hey Steve, I figured out a way to improve business at UPS...Just some minor changes to the uniform, and who's in it...





Sunday's late game was the Packers vs. the Giants...Late in the week, the Giants became the sexy pick...I'm not sure why, that whole division was shit, and they barely made it in, but there they were Sunday evening, fucking up the defending "Super Bowl" champs. winning 37-20.

So now that the Packers are out I guess I have to change my "Super Bowl" picks...Yeah, I'm sticking with the Patriots, and I'll have them going up against the 49ers...Fuck the Giants, those shit heads have been so inconsistent all year...

So I mentioned the Little Beeze was sick...The puke kept coming Sunday...So I broke out the steam cleaner and washed the carpeting in the two rooms he covered in vomit...The Mrs. was doing laundry non-stop, and we were both getting mentally prepared for the other two getting sick...So far, it's just him...I hope it stays that way...There was a highlight in our house from this weekend...Little Miss Molly getting her groove on...




I can always count on her to make us smile...As for my little get together Saturday, well that will get it's own blog post...But in the limited time there, one thing was for sure...We will be doing this more often!

Before I go, we should remember that it is Martin Luther King Day...Yeah, I'm talking to you chick at the Fish House who didn't know this holiday existed...As for what the schools are teaching about Rev. King...Well, I don't know, because the Little Beeze came home from school Friday and informed me that "Martin Luther King Jr. was shot with a bazooka...Time to move to a better school system!

That's it for now, have a week...

The Beeze's Hump Day Hits

So, Stanford kept their QB, but lost their coach...Just as long as they don't lose this gal!

As for the National Championship Game...I thought it was pretty good...It was hyped to be a shootout between to high-powered offenses, but Auburn's defense was outstanding...And Oregon's defense played a lot better then I expected...Cam Newton was good...But the Auburn front 7 were the real stars of the game...

And now, maybe we all should except that the SEC is the best conference in College Football, considering they just took the last 6 titles...

Trevor Hoffman has decided to retire...He ends his career with 601 saves...Is that enough for this closer to get into the Baseball Hall of Fame? Who knows with how those ass-hats vote!

Michigan has hired Brady Hoke to be their new Head Football Coach...Honestly, I don't know anything about him, and I'm not willing to research the guy...the only thing I care about Michigan football, is watching them lose!

This week in the NFL playoffs, I'm gonna give you my predictions...Patriots roll the Jets and Rex Ryan, and his stupid big mouth! The Ravens will beat the Steelers in a close battle...The Falcons will take-out the Packers...And the Seahawks will shock people again...Upsetting the Bears...But if not, take the Seahawks with the points anyways...they'll keep it close!...

The shooting in Arizona is still a hot topic all over the TV and well, it should be...But too many people are trying to spin it to make others look bad, or to try and push their agenda...I tuned into the Daily Show, and once again, I was happy to see Jon Stewart, once again, being the voice of reason...Although, isn't hat kinda sad, that the Daily show puts the "news" networks to shame...

So, do you still think the Seattle Seahawks don't belong in the playoffs?


Are you sure?

After the Seahawks_shocked_the_Saints Saturday they may have changed some minds...Especially since they were the only home team to pull out a win this weekend...

That's right, the Colts lost at home to the Jets...The Chiefs lost at home to the Ravens (not that surprising)...And the Eagles lost at home to the Packers...Maybe home field doesn't mean as much as some people like to think...(except in Seattle right!)

I'm glad the Jets won...After big fat, Rex Ryan was swinging on Peyton Manning's nuts last week, and taking a couple little jabs at Tom Brady, I can't wait to see the Pats give the Jets another beating...Yes I said another beating...Rex and others seem to like to forget the 45-3 beating the Patriots gave them a few weeks back...And you know Bill Belichick with two weeks to get ready, is just licking his chops...It's going to be "Must see TV!"

Now, all this sports stuff is nice, and I'll get back to it in a minute, but I have to talk about the weekend's biggest story...Saturday afternoon, some asshole named Jared Loughner, and yes, I'm judging him right from jump, he's an asshole...Anyways, said asshole opened fire on an Arizona Congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, and a the group of people who went to met her, and speak with her...6 people were killed, including a 9 year old girl, and a federal judge...The reasons why he did this aren't known...Many are saying he's just nuts...Clearly! Some think it's purely political...Maybe, but these only leads back to nuts...Let me explain...

The government pisses me off constantly, but I'm not out there shooting at politicians...And I'm sure as hell not shooting at random people near a politician...Seriously asshole, what did a 9 year old girl do to piss you off...How did she deserve this...She didn't! The way it looks, the only person in that crowd Saturday that should have been shot was the asshole, Jared Loughner...

Gabrielle Giffords was doing what we want so many other politicians to do...She was meeting with constituents, speaking with them, and listening to them...The 9 year old girl was there, because she wanted to learn more about the political system...Christ, she could have been the one to fix this screwed up political world...

If this was at all politically motivated, then what does this say about us as Americans? It says we aren't far off from being just like a the crazy, fanatical, asshole Muslims, that will kill anyone for having a different view then them...Fuck that!

Politicians need to disagree without the hatred...Even if it is just staged hatred...And yes, Sarah Palin may want to stop making "target lists" which Gabrielle Giffords was on...I'm not putting the blame on her, the fuck-tard that she is, but politicians and the TV talking heads need to be more responsible with their words...No offense, but not everyone of the people watching, or listening are mentally stable, or even smart...And too many of these dopes on TV and radio play to the lowest common denominator...

We're suppose to be better than this America...

Now off my soapbox, and onto some T & A...

The College Football National Championship is Monday Night...Who do you have winning?

OREGON...



or

AUBURN...




I'm going with OREGON!

Have a week...

Seahawks Shock Saints, and a Few Other People!

Yes, the Seattle Seahawks upset the New Orleans Saints yesterday, beating them 41-36...

Sadly, I didn't get to watch the game...I was working a double at the Fish House...When the bartender came back to the kitchen and told us, I thought he was just fucking with us...But after work, when I sat down with a Killian's Irish Red and popped on the NFL Network, I saw the highlights, in all of their glory...

I don't have any real insight to give you on this game...I thought the Seahawks would be in it, with the help of their crowd, and the fact that all of the Saints running backs are hurt...But this post is simply me getting a chuckle at all the people who thought Seattle had no right to be in the playoffs, because the had a losing record...They won their shit division, so they get in...And what do we always hear the talking heads say..."The playoffs are a whole new season"..."On any given Sunday/Saturday any team can win"...

So yes, I'm sticking my tongue out at you, and pointing and laughing...Go Seahawks!
