Monday Moaning

This weekend I did something I haven't done in a very long time...I spent some time alone and watched some NFL football....Guess what I learned...

I'll never do that again....All my feelings I've had over the last few years were confirmed...The NFL has become a bad product...The players, the majority that is, are fucking scumbags...The coaches are in over their heads...They can't control their overpaid children...And the fans are still fucking idiots...Be it the fucking assholes in Cincy throwing stuff at the field and Ben Rapistbuerger  and cheering his injury....Or the countless fuck-sticks in Minnesota shitting on Blair Walsh over his missed field goal...Did you see the steady stream Vines and Instagram videos, of fans going out in the cold and kicking a field goal, and then yelling at Walsh?

Hey cunts, life is a lot easier when you don't have a defense in front of you, and don't have 70,000 screaming fans around you....Oh, and it's also easier when you can hit delete and retry your kick you just missed...

Shit, let me stay on these Vikings cunts....You fucking assholes trashing the kicker, and holder...SHUT THE FUCK UP!  If your cunty team would have scored touchdowns instead of field goals all day, you would have won...If your cunty, child beating, self-proclaimed "greatest running back in the league" would have picked up more then 45 yards on the ground, and wouldn't have fumbled at a key point in the game, you would have won...Stop blaming the Special Teams when there is plenty of blame for your whole fucking team!

Hey Kansas City, thank you for exposing another thing I knew to be true...JJ Watt is overrated....(this is the point when some fuck-stick tells me how many sacks Watt has each year)...Yeah...Awesome...He's a one fucking dimensional cunt who loves playing for the cameras and forgot he needs to play against the run...The Chiefs made Watt look stupid and confused, running right past him...Some plays unblocked...His mind is always at going for a sack and isn't reading to stop the run nearly enough...

Hey Watt, go have a Subway and Gatorade...Mug it up real good...Pretend that you stay 8 hours after practice on Hard Knocks working by yourself...Smile at Erin Andrews and make her wet...And get the fuck out of here, just like half your coaching staff that got fired today! CUNT!

(Seems to be a reoccurring word today)....

Pittsburgh and Cincinnati....Two fucking teams I will never like...Two teams with more hate-able players then like-able....Two teams with coaches that seem like genuinely good guys...But they can't control the criminal elements on their teams...I had missed the first half of this game...The wife and I were out to eat and enjoying some us time...But then I got into this later stages of this game...

Many talking heads felt the refs were doing a good job of letting them play and not letting the bullshit get out of hand...Those people are wrong...The refs should have set the tone early if they didn't want any bullshit...Instead the slow boil began to rage late in the 4th quarter...

Listen Cincy fans, I get it...Porter is a piece of shit, antagonist, and as a "coach" shouldn't have been out on the field...But your guy, Pac-Man Jones pushed a ref...Right there, end  of discussion...If you don't think he deserves a flag, you are retarded...Then he cried on the sidelines realizing he had a big hand in losing this game for his team...Then he made a Vine video screaming about how the refs sucked and fucked them...Not wining any points at all Pac-Man...All this stemmed from Vontaze Burfict being called for a head shot on Antonio Brown....





 Then, today hePac-Man was on the Rich Eisen Show saying that Brown was faking, and that's why he was so mad....Really...He faked getting hit in the head...Sorry you stupid fucking cunt, there's no faking that...

A sinkhole opening up under that stadium and swallowing up everyone there would have been the best solution....

I'm still amazed guys like Jones and Burfict are still in the league, since the Goodell was going to be Mr. Law & Order...Oh yeah, that's right...He's a pussy when it comes to serious stuff....

I hate what the NFL has become...I am, officially, 100% done...My hope for the rest of the playoffs is that New England and Seattle meet again in the "Super Bowl" since those are two teams most people seem to hate...I hope the Patriots win...I hope Brady in the MVP...And when they stick the mic in his face I hope he tells Goodell to 'Eat my ass!'

You know what is a great sport?  Hockey...You know who made an awful trade last year...My New York Rangers, they traded top prospect Anthony Duclair for overrated D-man Keith Yandle....Look at this move Duclair pulled off this weekend...






That was sick....Kid made everyone look bad...Especially the Rangers!


There was also a big trade in Columbus...Sadly, I saw this coming back in OCTOBER ....Since the arrival of John Tortorella, rising 'Jackets star (C) Ryan Johansen has become a lump of shit...Bad turnovers...piss poor defensive play...all around, totally sucking...This, a year after a long, drawn-out, contract negotiation, that got him paid handsomely...The 'Jackets sent him to Nashville for rising star (D) Seth Jones...Nashville has tons of talent on the blueline and need a #1 Center which Johansen should be...Jones looks like he will be a top pair defenseman...this looks like it may be one of those win-win deals for both teams...

Sadly for Columbus, After the season Johansen had last year, they could have gotten a bigger haul if they moved him in the off-season...But I guess you never know when a guy is going to start acting like a lazy, cunty, piece of shit...


That's it for now...


Have a week!

Blue Jackets Changing on the Fly

After starting this season 0-7-0 the upper management of the Columbus Blue Jackets felt a change, a drastic change was needed...So this morning, after getting smoked by the New York Islanders last night, the 'Jackets fired head coach Todd Richards and hired John Tortorella...Torts contract is for this season and the next two, which is the same amount of time that was left on his contract with Vancouver...and Vancouver is paying "some of it"....Columbus had to send a third round draft pick to the Canucks

After a season full of injury on top of injury...The Blue Jackets scratched and clawed late last season to be a thorn in the rest of the NHL's side...When the season was over, Richards' job seemed secure and the 'Jackets were on everyone's list of teams to watch this season...That thought was bolstered by the off-season trade for Brandon Saad, and signings of a couple role players...

Well, if you have watched them, you have seen that they aren't very watchable...The numbers of mistakes made by their defense is horrifying...A team with high expectations starting 0-7 is no good, and a move of some sort seems to be demanded by either the media, the fans, or both...Richards ended last season getting high praise form both...Now he has been shown the door...How quickly things can change....

Tortorella, well known for being a pain in the ass to his players, has a 444-371-115 record as a head coach...And a Stanley Cup ring from his time as the Lighting head coach when they won it all in 2004...When Torts time ended with the New York Rangers being hated by his players, who made it clear they were happy he was gone...His tactics that worked when they were young kids coming up, had grown tired...

In Vancouver, Tortorella didn't have the players to play his style...And they didn't seem to willing to buy in to his temper and tactics...When the coach leaves the dressing room to go after the opposing coach in his team's dressing room, it says a lot about your team and/or a lot about how they feel about you, when they don't follow you in...

In Columbus, there are a number of young players, especially on the blueline, that could use a Tortorella kick in the ass...There are also guys like Brandon Dubinsky...

Dubinsky played for Torts in New York...He became the player he is because of Torts...Playing Tortorella hockey killed some of his offensive numbers, but he plays every other aspect of the game very well...He's a Tortorella guy...I just wonder if he wants to deal with it again...

Nick Foligno can play Torts hockey...He seems to fit  the mold...Saad can play it too...Christ, just walking in the door to Columbus killed his offensive numbers, so what the hell...Guys like Calvert and Atkinson, and Campbell will fit well into his system...

The guy who will have the most trouble with this move is rising superstar center, Ryan Johansen....

Johansen has all the skills...All the talent...He can play two-way hockey...But players like him often get caught in a tight spot with Tortorella...They are expected to play tight defense, physical, and then knowing their skills, Torts piles the bulk of the offensive pressure/load, on them...


I think Tortorella will help Columbus, but he may have to pull back on the asshole level slightly...His teams play D...This team has played no D so far...The 'Jackets will turnaround...I just don't know for how long...

Monday Moaning

Gate - "A gate or gateway is a point of entry to a space enclosed by walls, or a moderately sized opening in some sort of fence."

Yes people, that is the definition of "Gate"....It doesn't mean, 'lets add it to the end of every possible conspiracy ever'....Back in the tricky Dick Nixon days Watergate became a big thing...A big crime...a big story...But it was called Watergate, because that was the name of the damn building where it happened....

So when you talk about the New England Patriots underinflated footballs and call it "Deflate-Gate," you sound like a fucking idiotic asshole! Just as you did when you called the Patriots spying shit "Spy-gate"...Or the Saints bounty plan being called "Bounty-gate"...Or every other conspiracy over the last 4 decades...Seriously people, read a dictionary...But while I'm at it, why didn't they call that Ray Rice mess, "Woman Beating-Gate?"

Stop with the "Gate Bullshit"!

And no, Ballgazi isn't any better...Sure it hasn't been beaten to death for 4 decades, but it really has the idiotic political overtone of trying to blame President Obama for it...Anything he does gets a "gazi" thrown on it now, he doesn't need the Patriots balls on his head too...

And yes, I said President Obama...I'm not sure when it started but I'm sick of hearing and reading people referring to the President as juts "Obama"....At first, it seemed like it was just a Republicans?Conservative way of disrespecting him...But I have heard it on the left too...Some of the President's biggest supporters regularly, simply refer to him as "Obama"...I don't care if you like him or not...Agree or not...I was always taught, and believe you respect the office...Even if you are opposed to the man...Average Joe doing it doesn't surprise me...But so-called journalist doing it makes me sick...Truly respectable journalism is dying away at a frighteningly rapid pace...

-Okay, Let me get into a little sports...Saturday the NHL had it's All-Star Skills competition...Sunday was the game, but that's always a joke...The skills competition is all about the players having fun, and the fans getting a look in at not just the fun, but some skills as well...Columbus, Ohio has become a good hockey town, as was pumped for this weekend...And Columbus Bluejackets Center Ryan Johansen made the place go crazy during the Breakaway Challenge...It's become their version of the Slam Dunk contest, where the guys like to get creative...Here's his first shot....





The fans in Columbus ate that shit up...But I was really impressed with his second effort...





The kid is  the son of one of the Bluejackets trainers...Just an awesome moment...Former Bluejacket Jakub Voracek didn't want to be out done, so he tried the same move with his own little guy...






But in the end Johansen won...The other big story from the Skills Competition was Shea Weber winning the hardest shot contest with 108.5 miles per hour...It was a bit easier for Weber this year, without Chara being there, who holds the record with 108.8 mph...




Now, as I said the All-Star game is a joke...No Defense, no hitting...Goalies getting hung out to dry...I was at work and didn't see the game...Luckily, the NHL broke down the tape...Here's all 29 goals in a minute and a half...




If you can watch more clips of the skills competition, do it...Then watch some hockey...Any hockey...Junior, AHL, high school, NHL...It's better then basketball...And the week of bullshit leading up to the "Super Bowl" is just that...Don't waste your time...Tune it all out until Kickoff on Sunday...Fill that time with hockey...

That's this week's public service message...Now, one last video....The Mrs. and I took Molls out with us to eat Saturday evening...The other two didn't want to come, and the oldest had a friend over...So it was just the three of us...And the little girl was cracking me up...I hope you enjoy this as much as I do...





Have a week...

The Beeze.
