Monday Moaning: SNL, I'm Over It!

 

I have to get this off my chest. Yes, I know SNL has always based much of their content around social and political issues. I'm 45 years old, I remember when the show was not only good, but when it was great. I have never had an issue with the show touching on politics and social issues, but I'm starting to get annoyed with the trending theme of how everything is awful these days. 

I love Kate McKinnon. She funny, a good writer, good actress, but I don't need Kate telling me hard the last year has been. I don't think we need to hear Kate complain about how nothing in America works anymore. I don't need her on-air meltdowns because everything is all fucked up. Yeah her doctor bit was okay and it was funny when she lost it and Colin Jost broke character, and asked "Kate are you alright?" To which she responded "no." That wall being broken down was fun but the show seemed to follow that line and now each episode has a couple skits reminding us how broken or fucked up things are.

I always watched the show for laughs and if you can make a bigger point while getting the laughs, great...But people don't need to be reminded shit blows right now. We're all looking for escapes from that, if only for brief moments.

And we really don't need to be told how bad things are by people who don't have it that bad. Kate McKinnon don't lose her insurance because she's in multiple unions that keep her insured. She still has a nice contract with SNL, so she isn't missing any paychecks. Yeah Quarantine/lockdowns suck. Lack of physical and social contact can suck. I get it people are dealing with even more mental health issues now, then ever before. People in her shoes, have a bank account with big-time movie money in it, giving them many more avenues to get help, unlike countless Americans who are scraping by, hanging on for dear life.

 Yeah, 2020 sucked and 2021 has started out shitty, but something tells me Kate and company haven't had to go through the pain in the ass and embarrassment of having to file for unemployment or standing in line at foodbanks. So when a well-off movie star/comedian keeps losing it, or harping on how bad things are over the last year, that shit kind of rings hollow. 

I don't mind celebrities speaking up for the everyman, trying to support the little guy, but I can't stand celebrities acting like their the everyman, when they have all the means to get through shitty times.

I hope, SNL gets past this phase quickly. I'll tune in this week, not to see if they do, because I doubt they will, they tend beat dead horse. I'll be tuning in solely to see Phoebe Bridgers sing.

Have a week.

Ignorance Is Bliss?

 

Once again my good friend posted a question on Facebook, as she does almost daily...You can see my previous post talking about this...Well, she did it agin...Asked a simple question that should have been easy to answer, and I just started writing away...Just letting the madness pour out of my head...Today's question...

"What is Your Idea of Perfect Happiness?"

Not having to worry about money, the all consuming monster that controls our lives....but that’s a fairytale...

The saying ignorance is bliss is so true...My life was happier before the internet...before smart phones and computers and social media...I physically and mentally happier...Yes, it allowed me meet more people and make great friends from a distance...I reconnected with so many old friends and that is wonderful, but like everything else, it’s been corrupted by money...

Now it’s a war to sift through the bullshit and propaganda and advertisements that pop up after you google something or talk to someone about something...

Yes, the internet has informed me of more things they didn’t teach me at St. Edward High or at Cleveland State...Yes I can make my voice heard through blogging and social media...I feel like I have to make it heard because I have this knowledge and these opinions and this technology to get it out there...

Maybe my mental state would be better off if I just wrote it all with pen in a notebook...Maybe my mental state would be better if I never learned more, informed myself and was concerned about others and the state our country has been in and is in...But then I’d be one of those ignorant people I hate and scream about daily on social media...I’d be ignorant as fuck...but I’d be happier, right?

Blake Snell : Baseball's New Villain

Today we were given the latest Baseball villain... My previous POST  foreshadowed this...But clearly Blake Snell isn't smart enough to read my blog...On his Twitch stream he made it clear that there was no way in hell he was going to be playing this year with the pay-cut the owners proposal has in it...

This is from Tampa reporter Ryan Bass....

Okay, I get not wanting to take a pay-cut and I get it when Billionaire owners are crying that they are losing money, as an employee I wouldn't feel bad at all for them...Hell, as average Joe, I don't give a fuck about the owners, especially now...But Snell looks like a fucking idiot crying about money when at least 36 million people in this country are out of work right now...And he says "The risk is through the roof"....Really!?!  I'm guessing your risk is not nearly as high of a risk as what doctors and nurses are dealing with and wow are you making a shitload more money then they are...

(wait for it!)

Snell right now has a 5 year, $50 million contract...Is salary for the 2020 season is $7.6 million...In his bitch, moaning and complaining rant he said the owners proposal would have him making 25% of his contract's salary...Holy fucking shit, you poor thing you, you'd be getting paid $1.9 million this year...Oh, and don't cry too hard about taxes, because he plays in Florida, which has no state income tax...

$1.9 million for 4-5 months of playing baseball...(He's a starting pitcher who only plays once every 5 games)...I'd shovel shit in 85-90 degree heat for $1.9 in 4 months...

Fuck me running, I'd go back in the confessional with Father John for $1.9 million....(what, too far? Fuck You!)

Seriously, I have no love for the MLB owners...They're greedy, out of touch assholes...While I'd generally side with the players, Snell showed how clearly out of touch, selfish and greedy he is as well...So fuck Blake Snell!

Can MLB Survive COVID

 So we are in mid-May and COVID is kicking the world in the balls and so many talking heads and politicians want everything back to normal...Refusing to accept that there isn't going to be a true normal until we have rock solid treatment or a vaccine for this monster...But science and research need time, so we have to be patient and realize normal is still miles down the road.

 But Major League Baseball pressured by politicians and greed, today said they have a plan and presented it to the Players Association and now they all have to sit down and hash it out and try to agree on things...The plan is talking about starting in early July, playing about 80 games...Interleague play will happen because the idea is to keep things as regional as possible...They are also talking about everyone using the DH...I'm totally fine with that...14 teams would make the playoffs...And now we get into the mud....The Owners, who are Billionaires are asking the players to take a pay-cut...They say paying prorated salaries will be too steep of a cost for them and they are talking about a 50/50 revenue sharing deal...

Of course agent Scott Boras has already spoken out against this and some players have spoken out against revenue sharing and that revenue sharing is how owners will implement a salary cap...This is where, in typical fashion is where MLB owners and the MLBPA shows how the out of touch they are with us regular people...Not all of them but too many of them...

Sean Doolittle has made it clear his number 1 priority is making sure it is safe for all players, team staff and facility employees before they are worrying about playing...

Safety has to be the top priority...And so far, with this plan and all the plans MLB has kicked around, they haven't answered the big question..."What if a team gets exposed?"  It takes 1 player, or trainer, staff member to catch COVID, and in a blink the whole team is infected...And the tricky bitch about this thing is people can carry it for 14 days without showing symptoms...They say they are going to be actively and aggressively testing, but we have seen most tests have not been 100% accurate...Many tests are being used that haven't even been approved by the FDA...

All the PR people are saying this will be done safely, and every state governor and says they are going to open their economies safely, but how can you do it safely if you don't have an answer for to the big what if? If you can't guarantee the players and staff and facility employees safety, maybe you shouldn't being trying to rush into this... 

Now lets talk about the Baseball aspect...If my beloved Cleveland Indians won the World Series in this horse shit, fake, half season, I'd be happy while watching, but in my heart, and my brain, it wouldn't be real...It wouldn't be legit....More than any other sport Baseball prides itself on History and Stats...Baseball also prides itself on being a marathon...So how can anyone feel a half season with a doctored postseason is legit...As someone who loves baseball and I know guys like me are getting older and are a dying breed, if Baseball is played this season I'll simply see it as an exhibition season...

Personally, I've already stated in a previous blog that the NHL and NBA should just take the L and not bothering trying to cram in an end of the season and playoffs...MLB talking about a half season, starting in July...I say scrap it...It won't be real...If it's not real, why risk health issues or injuries...

More importantly, if Baseball isn't played because owners and players are going to spend the next month bickering over money, they will lose more than just a season (or shitty half season)....They will lose a huge part of their fanbase...They will take a loss that they may not be able to recover from...

The NCAA is at it Again

Three years ago the NCAA forced the University of North Dakota to drop their Fighting Sioux nickname and logo...And while the University is trying to figure out what change the nickname and logo to, Alumni, students and fans, have yet to fully embrace the passing of their history...

So the cunts at the NCAA have piped up again, with a threat to North Dakota athletics...the NCAA has told the school that if a competing team were to file a complaint about fans continuing the use of ‘Fighting Sioux’ or ‘Sioux’ in chants, like in the anthem ending, “and the home of the Sioux!,"  the NCAA could sanction the athletic teams.

“Schools can be held accountable for their fans’ actions/behavior at school events,” said Gail Dent, the NCAA’s associate director of public and media relations...

University of North Dakota spokesman, Peter Johnson knows it will be hard for fans to except and embrace a new nickname/logo...Johnson made it clear that the school does not want to tell fans what they can and can't say and wear, as many fans still wear the classic Sioux logo...

“The president has said pretty consistently that people can certainly wear what they want to wear and say what they want to say within the bounds of, well, the kinds of things you can say.”

It was bad enough when the NCAA forced UND to drop their name...And that logo...One of the best in all of sports...And North Dakota was forced to be without nickname for 3 years...Somehow it was figured this would give the fan-base a cooling off period...Yeah, right...When was the last time you saw some one cool off and be okay after you fucked them in the ass, when they didn't want your money-grubbing-politically-correct-bullshit cock in their ass!?!

The NCAA picks and chooses who they screw over...No problem with criminals at Florida State and their Seminoles mascot/logo/nickname...UND had backing of multiple Sioux tribes, yet the nickname/log was deemed "hostile and abusive."  by the NCAA...The logo which was designed by Bennett Brien, a local artist and UND graduate of Ojibwa ethnicity....

The NCAA also picks and chooses what to take stands on...Student athletes who literally can't fucking read, at North Carolina are getting passing grades so they can play Football and Basketball...Student athletes can't except a free lunch from a coach, even if they can't afford to eat...But the NCAA is worried about nicknames...

This is the idiot shit they do...Just like politicians...'Look at this shiny thing over here, ignore the real issuses.'

They make a stink about something dumb, all in an attempt to distract us from the fact that they are a multi-billion dollar corporation making all that money on the backs of their unpaid employees! 

 The NCAA is said to be a non-profit organization that regulates college athletics...It was created to help, and protect the student athlete after major injuries and deaths had been occurring on the football field during the early 20th century, which was leading Universities to kill off their programs... 

I truly love college sports...But it gets a harder and harder each year to support this mess...the governing body is only worried about padding their bank accounts...The Universities have the same mindset...Is it any wonder you here so many college athletes saying, "I gotta get mine!"

As for UND...The school has been going through the process of adopting a new nickname...The list is now down to five....Fighting Hawks, North Stars, Nodaks, Roughriders and Sundogs. UND president Robert Kelley has also suggested the no nickname option after a large backlash of fans, students and alumni felt that was the best way to go...Either Fighting Sioux or no Fighting Sioux is their feeling...

NHL Makes Deal with Adidas

News broke a couple days ago that Adidas has won a long-term contract to make uniforms for all 30 NHL teams, starting the 2017-2018 season...Adidas will be taking over for Reebok, a brand owned by Adidas...

The current deal with Reebok annually brings in the NHL $35 million...The new rights deal with Adidas will bring in double that...Adidas beat out Under Armour and Bauer Hockey for the deal...

This deal has many Hockey traditionalists worried about what type of changes Adidas will make to NHL jerseys...Myself, I would hate to see them fuck up the traditional look that so many of the teams have...Many fear that Adidas will add their signature three stripe style to the jerseys...I hope they will respect tradiotn, like they did with Notre Dame...Adidas was with Notre Dame Athletics for many years, and stuck with the traditional look...They added the signature three-stripe to practice jerseys, but game day gear was basically left alone...

Adidas sales dropped 7% last year, and they are looking to make a big turnaround...Future star Connor McDavid has already done a commercial promoting the brand...And talks have begun with Sidney Crosby, who's endorsement deal with Reebok will expire at the end of this month...

But there is another fear about Adidas and the NHL getting into bed together...Will this move bring what many have feared for years, but have seen coming...Advertising on the jerseys...We have seen it in junior hockey...We have seen it in European hockey leagues...The AHL...And many NHL teams have had an advertiser on their practice jerseys...But game jerseys...It just doesn't seem right...

Listen it seems natural in auto racing...As far back as I remember, and before me, ads were on race cars...But not on Hockey Jerseys...I'm sure Holy Hell would be raised if MLB tried it...

But the NHL wants to grow...And they want to line their pockets more...NHL officials project that ads on jerseys could bring in $4 million per team each year...

What's the saying?  Money talks and Tradition walks...Something like that!

Hey, I like India Reynolds in Adidas...

I'm not sure if I'll like hockey in it...


Then again, We like India Reynolds in or out of Adidas!

Monday Moaning

Welcome to another installment of Monday Moaning...You will read nothing about Soccer here...Sorry folks, but I can admit what so few people seem to be able to lately...I'm American...I don't give a fuck about soccer...Don't watch it, don't act like I have  a clue about it...don't waste my time, money or energy bothering to pretend to give a shit...It's soccer...Let's be honest, in a couple weeks 90% of you will be back to not giving a shit...

So what should be the big topic this week...Is it the rumors that LeBron James kids have been enrolled in a Northeast Ohio school...No...DON'T FUCKING CARE!

How about this...Friday night I attended what will be my last Major League Baseball game...Unless by some freak way I become rich....My wife's company got tickets for the staff and their families for the Indians and Tigers game...And good seats...The Club seats...You know a "higher class of fans" until they put us there! Supposedly the food is better...There's a full blown bar and dinning room...With the seats food and soda (pop for Ohioans) were free...Well thank you, because if I paid for that crap, I would have puked it back up into their faces...

Yes, I cook for a living, and I know quality food...But I love a good burger...I like greasy fries, and all kinds of unhealthy regular Joe shit...That's what I eat, because cooking in a fine dinning restaurant doesn't make you rich!

Seriously, I had a burger and fries that were nauseating...Then some one pointed out a buffet line with "the good food"..."pesto alfredo with fettuccini"...except there was no pesto in it...Hell, there was no alfredo in it...It was buttered noodles with a splash of cream and parsley...Au Gratin potatoes, that were disgusting...One bite and you could taste the powdered cheese and milk mixture on the under cooked potatoes..."Braised Beef"....NOPE...barely boiled meat is what it was...I bet I've taken shits that would taste better!

I was physically ill...And I hardly ate...Later my wife got an old school pretzel...Best thing she ate all night...And beers...Beers at a ballgame are as American as a teenage loser fucking an apple pie...Ummm, or something like that....Beer prices ranged from $7.50 to $9.00... I stuck to free Dr. Pepper...Hell, this was the wife's outing, I was driving, she handled the drinking duties...She had a couple beers then her and her friend went to the bar for cocktails...Which were around $10...So we dropped about $50 on just getting her primed up for postgame fun...

Oh, I mentioned I was driving...We live 10 minutes from downtown Cleveland...We left a hour before the game...We sat in traffic for at least 40 minutes because there's so much road construction not getting done, that half the city is shutdown...BLOW ME!

Then after parking, which I went budget and found a $10 lot, which means a little more walking, but fuck paying $35 to park...We get to the Stadium...The game has started, and we stand in line for 10 minutes, waiting to get through the metal detectors...I remember a time when this didn't happen at stadiums...And yes, we are a more scared, and frightened nation these days, mainly because there are just so many worthless, fucking, nut-case assholes out there...

So here is the choice...Should I be inconvenienced by waiting in a long ass line and missing an inning or two because there is a chance some  fuck-tard wants to shoot up a stadium?  Or should save the $67 per ticket, stay in the safety of my own home, watch the game on my HD-TV, drink my 6-pack that cost as much as one beer at the stadium, and eat fucking awesome food that I made myself?

I think that's an easy question...MLB, and the Cleveland Indians, you won't be getting anymore of my money...

As for the game...The Tribe lost 6-4, but my fantasy team scored HR's from Victor Martinez, JD Martinez, Carlos Santana, and Asdrubal Cabrera, plus hits from Kinsler and Brantley, so I felt like a winner...

Have a week...

Monday Moaning

 

 

Well I hope everyone else had a fun St. Paddy's Day...Maybe not as classy as these two, but still fun...(thanks for that Barstool!)

I have to give B-Dub a big thanks for covering for me...I also apologize for not being around for the last week or so...Things have been a mess here lately...My St. Patrick's Day blew...Molly had to have her second major dental surgery first thing that morning...Nothing like putting your 3 year old under and handing over $1600 on a bright Monday morning, when the cool people are having kegs and eggs...

The first hour or two after coming out of it sucks...But she bounced back well...Better then she did last time...In the afternoon I got some Irish boiled dinner going, just to get a bit in the mood...The next day I took off work as well, just to help her have another day of taking it easy without the morning runaround...We just relaxed and played, it was a nice day...until the wife and I looked at just how fucking broke we are right now...

Then we had a guy come out later in the week to check our basement that has suddenly been taking water this Winter...He found some issues...Basically the foundation is fucked, and we're sitting down with some people this week to get estimates on the options we have, and financing options...

If anyone out there has an extra $20,000 out there, it would really help the Beeze family out...I apologized for being absent lately, but it may be happening more, as I'm going to be looking to pick up extra hours at work...or if you have something under the table, that would be sweet too!

Sports has clearly been on my back burner...I couldn't tell you shit about the NCAA tourney, except my bracket is totally fucked...Hey, I was just guessing anyways...

The NCAA Hockey Tourney is set after this weekends conference tournaments were finished...

The Northeast Region is 1. Boston College vs. 4. Denver
 2.UMass-Lowell vs. 3. Minnesota State

Odd since  Lowell won the Hockey East Tourney and BC was bounced early by Notre Dame...

The East region is 1. Union College vs. 4. Vermont
 2. Providence vs. 3. Quinnipiac

Union was the ECAC regular season and tournament champion...

The Midwest Region is 1. Wisconsin vs. 4. North Dakota
 2. Ferris State vs. 3. Colgate

Ferris State lost to Minnesota State in the WCHA Final...

The West Region is 1. Minnesota vs. Robert Morris
 2. Notre Dame vs. St. Cloud State

Notre Dame lost to UMass-Lowell in the Hockey East semifinals...St. Cloud who has been a good team all year, got bounced in the first round of the NCHC tournament by Miami...

Clearly, the regular season means a lot more then the conference tournaments  based on teams in and out, and seeding...

I would like to say the Irish will take the whole damn thing, but I'm not sure they'll get by St. Cloud...I think we'll be seeing a Minnesota vs. UMass-Lowell final...

That's about all the sports I have for ya...

Oh, except, this...If you're going to a hockey game, and you're going to bang on the glass, you better be ready....





That's all I have for now...

Have a week...

An Open Letter to Browns Fans

It's time...Time for me to sit you down, and tell you what needs to be said...I'm not the only one...There are a few guys on the new 92.3 "The Fan" that feel the same...But I don't know how many people are listening to the channel that use to be the best music station in Cleveland, and is now sports talk...Now we're left with Oldies, 80's, and ACDC and Pink Floyd being rammed down our throats...I've had enough of that...But this post isn't about Cleveland Radio...

This post is about the Browns, and Browns fans who are loyal, to a fault...I grew up a Browns fan...I lived through some tough times..."The Drive" is always talked about...But it was Earnest Byner having the ball stripped from him at the goal line that made me cry...My loyalty and devotion to the Browns left, when the team left for Baltimore...We always saw players that we loved on our teams leave for greener pastures and greener money...But the whole damn franchise leaving showed just how little loyalty in sports meant...A fan base that hadn't had a winner since before the "Super Bowl" existed, sold out it's 70,000 plus seat stadium every game...And they got screwed...My team left and went to Baltimore...

So Cleveland may have won the legal battle to keep the colors and the name, it's team was still gone...So I've never been able to fully embrace the new Browns...But many people did...No one shits on my town Cleveland, as much as me, but I'll say this...Clevelanders, for the most part are good people, and loyal...Way too loyal...And they're very hungry for a winner to cheer for...Since 1999 Browns fans have bought into multiple team philosophies...Multiple coaches, GM's, multiple presidents, and multiple QB's...

It's time to STOP!

Stop making Randy Lerner's life easy...This guy barely notices what is going on with his team...He's more focused on his Soccer team...Hell lives most of the year in New York...Yet, Browns fans never hold him accountable for how the franchise is run...Stop putting money in his pockets...It's time to stop spending money on a losing product...You wouldn't continue to dump money into any other product in your life, that gave nothing positive back to you...The Browns are a drain...They take your money, and give you heartache, pain, misery, and shitty football!

Stop making Mike Holmgren's job and life easy...It's time the Walrus has his feet put to the fire...People just want to believe that because he won "Super Bowls" as an assistant coach and one as a head coach, that he knows how to run a football franchise...When he went to Seattle front office, he drove it into the ground...His only good decision was hiring GM Tom Heckert...And Heckert had a lot of catching up to do, after many years of bad drafts and free agent moves...Luckily, he has an eye for talent on the defensive side of the ball...Stop wasting your money!

Coach Pat Shurmur clearly refuses to look at what he has talent wise, and fit his scheme to fit with the talent...Colt McCoy showed flashes of excellence last year, on a bad team...Shurmur's offense has him stifled...McCoy has regressed this year...And The O-Line has struggled all year...Some of that has to be scheme...They have refused to put McCoy in the shotgun, which would buy him an extra second before he has to run for his life...McCoy either can't throw a deep ball...Sooner or later that will catch up to you in the NFL...Just ask Tim Couch!

Last year this team was lead by a power running game, and play action passing...NONE OF THAT this year...The WR's can't get open...Some run bad routes...Some just don't have the speed, or ability to beat a DB...Too many drops has been a problem for years...I think Braylon Edwards spilled a bottle of dropsies all over Berea, and they still haven't washed it all away...

And don't forget about that 3 year stint when every time a player had an injury, he ended up hospitalized with a Staph Infection...Why are you still spending your money on this team? STOP!

Monday October 31, 2011...Coach Shurmur's Monday Press Conference...It was the first time a Monday Press Conference lasted less than 10 minutes...WHY? Because Shurmur, who Holmgren said he wants to be the voice of the organization, has been pissy with the media on the rare occasions when they ask him the tough questions...Or when they push for a real answer...He is always defensive...Listen, when dumb things are happening, and the play is awful, and the offense is moving backwards, the press and fans are going to have questions...But this dick comes in there acting like he is Bill Belichick with 5 rings...Dude you aren't shit! So Monday, the press quickly got sick of his act, and stopped asking questions...Dead air...

The Browns are alienating the media...The fans will be next...The whole organization is going backwards...Stop drinking what they are spilling!

Tell me, what have the Cleveland Browns done for you since 1999? Not Much right! So why do you keep doing for them? Respect, honor, and loyalty are supposed to be earned, not just given away...The same goes for money...Stop giving yourself away Browns fans...Make these dolts earn your respect, honor, loyalty, and money!


Later, The Beeze.

Money, the NCAA, Ohio State, and Money

Well in case you missed the news that has been buzzing around Ohio since last night, 5 Ohio State Football players have been suspended for the first 5 games next season, including "star" QB Terrelle Pryor...Apparently, the players have been selling off jerseys, and shoes, and awards, for money, and or discounts...They also swapped autographs for cheap tattoos...

Why would they do this? This is a know NCAA violation...They did it for money of course...Everything about this story is all twisted up in money...The NCAA suspended them for the first 5 games next season, but not for their upcoming Bowl Game...Why not the Bowl Game? Because, it's a BCS game, and the NCAA doesn't want to lose any money they can make off the backs of these players...Who is really going to tune in if Pryor isn't playing...The next best QB for Ohio State is a high school senior...there is no way the NCAA is going to pass up on making big-time Bowl money!

The players most likely felt they needed the money, because they aren't allowed to have jobs...The universities make boat loads off of College Football...They make a shit-ton of money selling merchandise...Are Dayne Crist, and Brady Quinn seeing any money from all the #10 jerseys that get sold...NO! And Pryor isn't getting a dime for all the #2 jerseys sold in Columbus...

Now many say, 'Well those kids are getting a free college education!' Yes they are, and I use to argue the same point...But the cost of that education, doesn't even compare to the money the schools and the NCAA take in from those players busting their asses on the football field...A regular student, can get grants, and academic scholarships, and they are still allowed to get a job and have some cash for beer, and condoms, and whatever else they may need...

There has to be a way to give players a stipend...Just a little something for their efforts, and giving them the ability to have some spending cash, so they don't screw their team by breaking some NCAA rules...Maybe if college players got a stipend, we wouldn't have Heisman winners tainted by allegations of taking money from boosters and agents...Maybe we wouldn't have dumb players trading autographs for tattoos, and trophies for money...

That said, these douchebags at Ohio State knew they were breaking the rules...Some say the penalty was too harsh...Not me, but maybe that's just because I don't like Ohio State...But I'll take them over those ass-hats from Michigan any day! Anyway, they knew what they were doing was wrong...And for some reason, the fact they sold awards off really bothers me...I don't understand how you could just toss aside something commemorating an achievement of yours...And the players who sold their Gold_Pants, that is really bothering me...The Gold Pants are all about tradition, and Ohio State's rivalry with Michigan...Clearly, either these guys don't give a shit about tradition, or they are really desperate for money...

They should have been suspended for the Bowl Game...But as I said, money won't allow that...The NCAA should look in the mirror, and think about giving players a cut for what they do...But most likely, money won't allow that either...The schools and the NCAA don't want to share their wealth

Why Should I Feel Bad For Oprah?

I wasn't gonna do this, but I have to...With all the $h!t going on in the world right now...Bombs flying all over the place....People losing their jobs....People losing their homes.....And what the f**k do I see on the TV? Oprah crying, on some BS "News" show....Are you kidding me?

It's bad enough that she's on TV crying...But the why really pisses me off. There she is with her "doctor" (shrink) telling us about her problems....Her problems!!!

Now I know Oprah has done countless charity work, and I truly believe she is a good person....A good person with a big fat ego, that needs even more attention....But the last thing somebody worth 2.7 billion dollars should do, is go on TV crying about chips being her drug of choice...Funny how none of these fat f**ks ever say that salad was their drug of choice....And lets be honest, you sound like a dummy calling food a drug....If you want a drug problem chunky butt get yourself some blow...It'll help you keep the weight off too.

It was also said Oprah "lost her zest for life." Really crybaby? If being worth 2.7 billion dollars takes away your zest for life, then sign me up.

Listen...I get it you have problems.....So does everyone else, and we don't have the money for personal trainers, and personal chefs, and dietitians....You do twat-zilla....So I honestly don't give a $h!t about your problems....There are a lot of people suffering and struggling out there everyday....Just trying to keep their head above water....And all they do is knuckle up and keep plugging away....Trying to beat there problems...Trying to keep their homes...Trying to make it another day....They don't go on TV crying about being fat, and how it's so hard to put down the chips....Shut the f**k up...hit the gym...and mix in a salad fatty.

I just had to get that off my chest....Sorry if it offends you...But not real sorry.

On the lighter side...A pal of my started a blog last night. His blogs name is "What a Jurk" If you don't like the band Linkin Park, you'll love his first post.

Check him out....http://turkthejurk.blogspot.com/
