Monday Moaning


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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




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

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

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

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

Later, The Beeze.

Browns Hire Pat Shurmur


The news came down this afternoon...The Cleveland Browns have decided on anew head coach...Pat Shurmur, son of Fritz Shurmur, who was Mike Holmgren's defensive coordinator in Green Bay back in 1996 when the Packers won the "Super Bowl"...

The reaction in Cleveland is mixed...Some are saying Pat Shurmur doesn't have enough experience...He's only been an offensive coordinator for two years with the Rams...Before that he was a QB's coach in Philly...Browns GM Tom Heckert worked with him there and has been high on him for awhile...

Some feel Shurmur will just be a puppet for Holmgren who they feel still is a coach, but doesn't want to put in the hours...But many of these people are also the ones that wanted Holmgren to take the job right from jump...So would it be that bad if he was playing puppet master...

Many Browns fans wanted a BIG name coach...Gruden was on every one's list...Old Walrus Holmgren said he spoke with Gruden, Cowher, and Fox, before interviewing the three others they talked to...Many feel it will be hard to land solid free-agents with a rookie coach, and a team that seems to be in a perpetual state of rebuild...

The first candidate they interviewed was Defensive Coordinator Perry Fewell, another innocent victim of the "Rooney Rule"...Everyone in the free world knew the Browns wanted an offensive minded coach, Fewell didn't stand a chance...The "Rooney Rule" is becoming a joke....The other candidate was Atlanta OC Mike Mularkey, another Holmgren disciple...

Me, I'm not one of these Clevelanders who is saying, "In Holmgren we trust"...He hasn't done shit to earn my trust yet...I like GM Tom Heckert who had a very good draft last year...Oh, and he pulled off the Brady Quinn for Peyton Hillis deal! Heckert seemed very confident in the press conference today...I like that...But I'm not sure I'm sold...I didn't hear of any other teams wanting Shurmur, just the Browns...

I'm glad they brought in an offensive guy, and if they land Dick Jauron as the new Defensive Coordinator, that may ease my worries a bit more...And yes, that is the buzz around town, that the Browns are close to getting Jauron...

I'm not going to shit all over this move, and I'm not going to celebrate it either...I'm going to just wait and see...As always in Cleveland, we're waiting until next year!
