Random Thoughts

Alrighty, it's been like a week since I've typed anything up, so I'm just going to riff on a couple of topics...here goes:

Milton Bradley-The guy didn't deserve what happened to him. Yes, I'm a little bit sensitive, I blew out my ACL years ago. Apparently the Ump in question called him "a fucking piece of shit", and just set him off. Shocking! How would any of us react to being told that...at your job?? Of course, the sweet college wrestling takedown done by his manager is what caused the injury, but if the ump doesn't act like a jackass, none of this happens. Oh, and the ump has been suspended the rest of the year...whoopdi-damn-do, the season ends this weekend, and then their is a month of playoffs, which he wasn't going to make anyways....real tough, MLB.

The editor at the CSU student newspaper that put "F--- Bush" as an editorial has hired the same lawyer that represented douchebag Ward Churchill. Shocking...not even remotely. I'm only 98% certain that he'll work for MoveOn.org, NBCNews or CNN someday. That's not journalism there, dipshit, that's what Howard Stern and Opie & Anthony do to get noticed. I bet you and Jason Blair will have a nice time working at Dairy Queen when you're 30. Sorry, I'm just tired of some people hiding behind the 1st Amendment and/or taking a journalism course in college. Die hippie die-Eric Cartman

The Red Sox-the magic number as of this evening is now 2, they've clinched a playoff spot, and Manny is back in the lineup....let the fun begin!!

The Patriots....I'll say it now. WOW. Up next, Cincinnati. I know everyone will be predicting a blowout, but I think the Pats will work on the ground game. And since Cincy cannot stop anything, Maroney will go over 100 and Sammy Morris will have 80 and 2 TD's. I think it will be closer than some like, but the Pats win.

It finally caught up to them. The Broncos finally had it catch up to them. They still have no semblance of a D-Line, and Jacksonville gutted them, for over 180 yards rushing. The Broncos will end up with a great passing defense numbers, but that's only because everyone will run on them. Oh, and a note to the head coach, stop being cute in the red zone. If you're inside the 20, run the damn ball. Why spend all that money for Travis Henry's kids to run bootleg passes to TE's that can't catch? Knock it off, and I bet you score more points, I'm just sayin'!

The D-Coordinator of the Raiders, Rex Ryan, looks like an overweight Lebowski. Yup, I said it.

Is it me, or were there a lot of kickoff and punt returns last weekend? I think I saw 5, seriously.

Manners time....I know it sounds simple, but with my lovely new 2 week job, I found something else to piss me off....Sorry, I was raised with manners. I always thought that if you were on an elevator, it was right to get off and then let others on...apparently I'm wrong. I'm now at a place where people get on before you get out of the elevator, and then kind of give you that "What?" look. If you know me, you know what my look means.

So I have a 2 week job. I'm working at a childrens hospital installing video game systems and TVs. I'm doing manual labor, and not a big fan of it. But some money is better than no money. I haven't had to see any kids yet, and I am worried. I hope I act responsibly when I do see one of them...heck, I hope I get to whoop a kids ass whose XBox I installed....kidding. Oh, and when I was thinking of taking this job, they told me, jokingly, not to steal anything, because that's been a problem....Are you kidding me????????? Who the hell steals from sick kids? I'm pretty sure if you do that you get to skip the line on the way to hell. Kind of like the bouncer is one of Saddam's sons and gives you the thumbs down go pass.

The Extra gum commercial where the guy is dancing thru airport security...someone please punch this guy, I'll pay for the attorney.

Doug Stanhope is funny. Check out his latest special, it's on ShowTime. You may squirm every once in awhile, but he's pretty darn good.

the other stuff

The Sox are killing me....Manny, get your ass back out on the field.

And ESPN won't shut up about the Yankees. We get it, they're really good, they better be with a $200 million dollar payroll.

Fantasy baseball, my team is doing well, but there are some people who are way too serious about this thing. The funny insults passed a few months ago. All this for an $11 entry fee. People need to calm down.

The Family Guy is getting re-run on cable....ah, heaven.

Stay tuned for tomorrow afternoon's NFL Week 3 breakdown.

Oh, and how would you react to someone who said they never saw Fletch?

Other Items that are making me scratch my dome

So I'm flipping around reading on the internet, and I read that Jesse Jackson has stated that Barack Obama is "trying to be white." I was going to wait a long time before I went off on the so-called Reverend, but this time, it's time to attack black.
Jesse Jackson is a race pimp. He's never done any good for the black community. Ever. He's managed to get a bunch of people up in arms about not being responsible for their own actions. If I were black, I'd tell him to get away from my community and stop telling me he's my leader. If that's all that is coming to the forefront, him and Al Sharpton, I'm good. I'd manage on my own. Why not Bill Cosby? Becuase he keeps it right?
What else has Jesse done? He's managed to get his son the best Budweiser distributorship in the country...pretty damn lucrative if you ask me. Oh, and he was a confidant of Bill Clinton while siring a child out of wedlock, while he was married.
I can only hope that once Jesse gets to take his eternal dirt nap, he's met at the pearly gates by Martin Luther King and St. Peter lets MLK whoop his ungrateful, egotistical, hypocritical ass.
That is nothing more than the equivalent of black on black crime. Acting White? What does that mean, he's acting like Carlton on the Fresh Prince? Why would you want to keep another black man down? Here's the first somewhat mainstream black candidate for president since, well, Jesse, and he's now tearing Obama down. Jesse, good luck with the shit storm you're creating in your own community, because you've become irrelevant. You're a sad excuse for a man, just in case you weren't aware. If you were my so-called leader, I'd try and hit the reset button when it comes to picking pigmentation. Funny, white people and latina people don't seem to have a leader....hey black people, maybe it's time for someone new, or a better idea, stand on your own. I may be wrong on plenty of occasions, but at least they are my ideas, and I'll be wrong on my own accord, not because of some moron trying to hustle some major corporation.

Oh, and I don't even like Obama, I just can't believe I read this....and I know I won't hear anyone else talking about it. It's shameful.

Musings from a long weekend...

Okay, so I don't really feel like looking for a job just yet, not a crime in most circles. Good news is I won't be broke anytime soon. Oh, and I just got a 3 week gig setting up tv's and video games for a hospital. It could be worse, I could've gotten bed-pan duty...yuck!!

So Friday night the Sox lost, all because of bad bullpen management. Tito, I love what you've done with the boys this year, but you can't keep throwing out Okijima to face Giambi....the law of averages dictates that eventually someone will get a hit. That and the guy just might be flat out tired. Saturday was a 10-1 game, but Youk got hit in the process. His loss will hurt, as you'll see below. Sunday night's game sucked, for oh so many reasons. Mostly because Schilling shouldn't have been out there in the 8th. He just doesn't have that stamina right now. This was like his 5th or 6th start since being hurt, and eventually that lineup will get to you. And don't go pitching to Jeter with 1st base open. Have you not been watching baseball for the last 10 years???? All this guy does is deliver. Here's another note from watching Sunday night baseball-Hey Joe Morgan, just get it over with, go down to the dugout, and blow Joe Torre. There, I said it. Enough is enough, how tough is his job? The guy can't manage a bullpen to save his life, ask Ron Villone, Scott Proctor, and Tom Gordon. And all you do is gush over him, while wishing he'd gush on you...pathetic.

Currently the Sox are up 2.5 games. Yes, I'm getting antsy, enough is enough already. Where the hell is Manny Ramirez? I love the guy, but this sideshow business has got to stop. No Coco or Youk tonight either. No one can expect Papi to carry the team this late in the season, not without a solid lineup in place. Manny, get back, and do it now. The band needs you!!

As for watching football on Sunday, man, do I love sitting on my ass doing nothing but flipping channels. I leave my comments for Cameragate or whatever the fat media slobs are calling the Patriots cheating "scandal" to its own paragraph later, but for now, here's my take on some other teams that I either got to see, see highlights of, or tracked on this here trusty laptop on Sunday....
NY Giants-their season is just about over, since they can't stop anyone. 80 pts in 2 games?? Why do you have Strahan and Uminyora? They didn't even get close to Favre on Sunday, he picked them apart. It's clear they've tuned out their head coach. And the fact that I had to see Tiki Barber's goofy-ass smile Sunday night makes it even worse. Fuck Off you fumbling prick. If it weren't for the coach, whom you're now blaming for not wanting to play anymore, no one would know you for more than anything other than costing the Giants games. You're the definition of a loser.
2. Green Bay-not sure if they're for real, but they've beaten 2 supposedly decent teams. Yes, Favre looked like a kid again, and I'm happy. But does this mean I have to listen to every windbag over 40 sound like they are going to blow him?
3. Pittsburgh-I'm not convinced yet, because you beat a clearly unprepared Cleveland team and a Buffalo team dealing with a teammate in the hospital that may or may not walk ever again.
4. Denver-the luckiest 2-0 team in the league. They almost lost at home to the Raiders. And you can mark it down, you read it here first, they might make the playoffs, but they're going to get killed when they play a running team. Oakland busted open holes all day against this defense, and they still have KC and San Diego twice to go, along with Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Chicago and Minnesota. All run-heavy teams.
5. Indy-I know everyone else thinks they are great, and their offense is phenomenal, but Tennessee and Jacksonville seem to punish them. I don't think they'll be as great if someone figures out that they'll need to block Bob Sanders, who is playing great. Manning, as always, just keeps impressing me with his accuracy and his ability to out-think everyone.
6. Tennessee-Get Vince Young some help!!!! Eric Moulds is 4 years past being any good. Can't you find the guy someone decent to play pitch and catch with? He almost won last week by himself. And their D is brutal, Indy better hope they have the division wrapped up before the last week, or else it could be ugly.
7. Cincy/Cleveland-last one to score turn off the lights.
8. New Orleans-you guys know the season started, right? I think they spent too much time pass-blocking in camp. You've got nothing but road-graders up front, use them already. Reggie Bush is dancing too damn much, and not giving the Deuce enough touches is plain stupid. Pound Deuce (he-he) and it sets up play-action. As for their defense...ouch.
9. Chicago-look, you had a couple of weeks to sign Leftwich, why didn't you do it??? That guy makes way too much sense, a good QB with a cannon who doesn't make a lot of dumb mistakes...funny, you have the exact opposite right now.
10. San Diego-You know what, keep flapping your gums, Chargers. You got your asses handed to you on a platinum platter (yes, we've upgraded from silver to platinum). How could no one see this coming? Norv Turner is a hell of an O Coordinator, but a crappy coach. He's never succeeded, ever. He has no killer instinct, no fight, and soon, he'll have lost a team with basically the same roster as the one that went 14-2 last year. Keep yakking away LT2, I'm sure you meant that the "next, next time" is when you'll beat New England. At this rate, you'll be lucky to make the playoffs, there I said it....and here's why

11. the New England Patriots are the best team in football. Crown their asses. After 2 weeks, it's not even close. I can't wait to see what happens the rest of the way. Thank you so much, Roger Goodell, seriously. You couldn't have pissed off a nastier bunch of guys. They love BB and the hoodie. Oh, and all you teams claiming that you want all the Super Bowl wins rescinded, boo-frickity-hoo. Ain't happening, and the ass-whoopin' tour has just started. You big talkers in Pittsburgh and Philly are coming up, and I can assure you that the boys will have a mud-stomping party ready for you, and in your honor. The real beauty for the shit-talkers? They get to go to Foxboro. Oh, and the drunken degenerates will open you all with open arms and 2 middle fingers extended. Look, BB broke the rules and is being punished for it. He videotaped something that other people just look at and write down. Same difference, if you ask me. And just as I thought, once the ass kicking of SD happened, the story died down. As I told one of my buddies, screw 'em all and run the table.

This weekend vs. Buffalo, so I guess I should start feeling bad for Dick Jauron. Tough job there, coach. But the rookie RB is good. And in all seriousness, I do hope that sometime this season, Kevin Everett gets up out of bed and walks. That alone would be the best victory your team could get all season. I can't imagine it being easy to coach with that on everyone else's minds before, during, and after every kickoff.

Enough is Enough!!!

There is a story going out there that Hollywood will be globalizing G.I. Joe. Now, I grew up on the cartoons and action figures, and G.I. Joe is "The Great American Hero". These Ass-clowns in Hollyweird want it to be "Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity".

Fuck You! He's as American as muscle cars, apple pie, hot dog eating contests and fake boobs. Hey, Terrorist apologizer, yes, you, the one in the directors chair. I get it, you don't like the war. Most of us don't, we're numb to it. But now you're going to crap on G.I. Joe???? Stop doing this crap, because if I ever get to La-La Land, I'm knocking you the hell out, and then kicking you with Army issued boots. Bunch of Savages....

You're kidding, right?

So I'm perusing thru some websites as I'm apt to do after lunch, and the headline on Yahoo! reads: "Alex Rodriguez delivers heroic performance"

here's the link: http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=jp-arod090507&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

WHAT???

It's a sprained ankle, people. Believe me, had he played for the Red Sox and this crap came out, I can only hope I'd say the same thing. When is a sprained ankle heroic? It's time we stop using this word for things that aren't heroic at all. Same with the words brave and courage. Enough already.

You know who is brave, courageous, and heroic? Police officers, Firemen, and people in our military. They literally don't know what could happen from minute to minute.

The last athlete I saw do anything remotely heroic was Derek Fisher. To keep his mind in a playoff game knowing his 11 month old daughter was struggling with cancer, that, I assume, would be tough. A sprained ankle, please. I played thru most of my jr. year of high school with them. Tape 'em up and go play. Do I get to be labeled a hero? Not freakin' likely. Because I did nothing heroic, not even in my own mind. I played....and it wasn't even my job.

That's all this is for A-Rod, it's a job, it's how he earns a living.

Please, I'm damn near begging the media on this one, stop yourself from using those words, it's cheapening them for those that truly deserve it.
