Roger Goodell is at it again in his mission to destroy football as we know it. The NFL commissioner, who was just re-signed to a five year contract extension, appeared on television recently exclaiming he would possibly ban the three-point stance from the game.
The three-point stance has been a part of the game itself since its beginning, and has actually existed longer than the actual football itself. The ball has gone through transformations in both shape and the materials used to construct it, yet the three-point stance has gone untouched.
The thought of taking the three-point stance away from the game is virtually akin to the game of baseball deciding to ban to use of bats. It makes about that much sense, but this is the nonsensical definition that embodies the Goodell administration.
An era of continued perpetuated confusion that has put the quarterback virtually in a glass bubble wearing a dress to separate from the rest of the competition. A faux pedestal aimed as a marketing tool more than to protect the leagues anointed golden child.
Goodell gives lip service that his reasons are to try to prevent injuries, but the words come from a man who led a privileged childhood provided by a New York Senator as the patriarch of the family. A man who hasn't played organized football since high school, and used his fathers connections to get a job with the NFL fresh out of college.
He was eventually taken under the wing of then-commissioner Paul Tagliabue, a lawyer who played the game of basketball in college and was as clueless as Goodell. It made for a perfect partnership where a fool mentored another fool on how to effeminate the action on the gridiron, prefer greed over honor and dignity that the NFL tries to claim they embody, and ostracize the players from their own union that is always led by a league owned puppet.
Through the years, the game of football has certainly shown that it has a violent side. The league and media likes to label the games as "wars" and "battles", where the participants are called "gladiators" and "soldiers". The men who play the game realize and embrace the violence in their quests to be champions.
With this violence comes injury. It is as much a part of the game as the flesh and blood that pushes against one another until the final whistle that signifies the end of the scrum. There have been innumerable broken bones, sprained and torn ligaments, concussions and more along the way in a game that has even cost many people their lives on the actual field of play.
Concussions have recently been in vogue for discussions in and around the NFL. Though there have been countless players whose quality of life was greatly hindered because of the game, the NFL has now taken a pretend stance on caring after decades of neglecting and totally ignoring these occurrences. One theory of this new found stance is because of the litigious possibilities that can be born, though the league has defeated other players lawsuits that tried to bring attention to this problem in the past.
Though gridiron legends like John Mackey and Mike Webster are amongst the most recognizable men whose lives were afflicted with brain injuries stemming from concussions, it took the NFL decades to even intimate they recognize the effects. Many retired players are currently sitting at home disabled and forgotten by a players union that obviously does not care about them and does not truly acknowledge their contributions to help make the game as wealthy as it is today.
A union that has so neglected the players they represent, many feel it is manipulated by the league. With the current strained labor relations between players and the league, it appears the lip service Goodell gives is a smoke screen to get the players to accept a contract for less than they truly want to offer to avoid the almost seemingly inevitable lockout on the horizon. Business as usual in the greed mode that Goodell exudes.
Now that it is evident the game has five more years of Goodell to destroy it further with his incompetent regime, the question will be what is next after he gets his way in taking away the three-point stance. Will they have players wear flags on their dresses while adopting the college overtime rule? Perhaps he will order all personnel to be castrated so they will become the benign eunuch that he is?
One certainty does arise with Roger Goodell at the helm of this massive monetary ship that barrels over the waters that carry it without concern of what lies in its wake. This is not your fathers NFL, nor is it even the NFL those old enough to read this article grew up with. It is much worse and worsens with each destructive day with the deficient Goodell in office.

I've been thinking about this for awhile now...There seems to be a trend happening lately...Every time some one famous like Tiger Woods...Or slightly famous like Steve Phillips, gets caught cheating on their wife...They play the "I'm a sex addict" card...Then the head off to some bullsh!t sex rehab program...
Then afterwards we have douche bags like David Duchovny, and Phillips doing interviews, telling us how this is a disease...IS IT!?!
So I started wondering, 'Am I a sex addict?' Honestly...Now I haven't cheated on my wife...But I do love sex...If have sex today with my wife...I'll still find time to rub one out...At least one! I think about sex all the time...I want to fuck all the time...Ask her...I'm always hounding her for more! Thinking about this made me do some research...God bless Google!
I found this when looking for symptoms: "It is thought that sex is used by the addict as an escape, a means of avoiding stress, emotional strain, boredom, anxiety, and the pursuant shame and isolation that results from their compulsive behavior. Sex may be used to feel powerful or desirable."
Okay, raise you hand if you haven't in any of those ways...We're all screwed!
I also found this..."Other signs of sex addiction include regularly engaging in the following:
-Excessive (compulsive) masturbation (self-stimulation to produce sexual pleasure) or use of pornography
-Obsessive dating (e.g., through personal ads)
-Phone sex or sex via the Internet (cybersex)
-Sex with anonymous partners (e.g., one-night stands)"
Okay, I do masturbate a lot, and I like pornography...I use to get into the phone sex...Until the wife found that one huge phone bill...Who hasn't had a one night stand in their youth?
I've spent a couple hours looking at all these sites that want to tell you all this stuff is bad...Sex is good! Actually, it's fucking great! Masturbating is good...Having sexual desire is good...Ruining your career and marriage is bad...But, these dolts didn't ruin these things because they are sex addicts...They ruined things because they're assholes with no self control...
I want to fuck all the time...But my wife isn't willing to spent 20 hours of the day bumping uglies...So I tug one off when I can...I don't go banging other woman when ever and where ever I can...Unlike Tiger Woods...It's self control...Just like fatties...If you don't want to be a fat tub of yuck...Don't eat half a dozen donuts every day...
I'm trying to lose weight...Which means I need to have the self control to not eat twenty Oreos at 1:00AM before I go to bed...All these douche bags are just trying to save their ass...
Worst thing is, average Joe could play the sex addict card...Say average Joe gets caught cheating on his wife, average Jill...If tries to tell her he's a sex addict...She's slapping him across the face, and throwing his sh!t out the door...She knows it's bullshit...And what good does it do her to stick with him...He's not rich like these other so-called sex addicts...Plus if she did buy it...The average family can't afford to send Mr. Horny to sex rehab with that bullsh!t artist Dr. Drew...That guy needs to choke on a cock!
I think this sex addict stuff is a bunch of crap...If it isn't, then I better get some help...I wonder if I can get disability for being a horn-ball!
Later, The Beeze.

Attention YouGab Gabitants. You’re regularly scheduled broadcast has been hijacked. We are broadcasting this blog from a space unknown and is most definitely not in the broken stall of the Tavern’s men’s room. To emphasize our intentions in taking over this segment, we have the following message from our leader…
What the hell are you guys doing back there? I’m trying to conduct a hostile takeover of this timeslot, and you’re screwing it all up with this childish prank.
Anyway, while we sort through our, err…technical difficulties, I’ll proceed with conveying our messages.
Firstly, I want to discuss the recent article written by Ken Rosenthal over at Fox Sports. Now, as a baseball fan, Rosenthal is normally one of my favorite reads, but I felt the need to address this one particular post of his. It’s actually a follow-up piece to one he wrote in 2008 that paid special attention to the Red Sox and the demographics of their roster at that time, particularly how much is leaned toward white ballplayers. In this new post, Rosenthal laments having written the first one because of the backlash it received, as well as it being featured on white supremacy websites. But rather than letting sleeping dogs lie, Rosenthal then goes into an analysis on how the Red Sox have added two African-American players (Mike Cameron and Bill Hall), as well as Adrian Beltre, a Dominican, to their roster this off season and labels this as a positive development.
Now, I’m not trying to push racial buttons at all. Rather, I’m simply pointing out that while Rosenthal feels badly about having written a piece that never needed to be done, he has no problem in further investigating the issue. Sure, it comes off as self-serving during an otherwise slow news time for Major League Baseball, but again, it’s a piece that doesn’t need to be written. Hell, in his own post, he contradicts the need to even discuss it when he quotes Mike Cameron as saying, "Different teams go through stages where they have more or less African-American players on their roster. With only about nine percent in the league, it's going to happen."
Obviously, Major League Baseball is aware of the disparity in terms of the presence of African-American players in baseball. However, they also realize that the issue isn’t buried in racism, it’s in the marketing of the game toward that particular demographic. Knowing that they lagged behind the NBA and the NFL in terms popularity among African-Americans is precisely why MLB has established centers across the country to teach the game and to showcase it to all races.
My point here is that you don’t write a post to discuss racism in an area where no one is crying foul unless you want to drum up discussion or start a fire. There are enough people throwing that card down on every side of the argument, do we really need to create more hostility just to drum up winter readers?
Alright, I needed to get that off my chest like Tila Tequila needed to Tweet another cry for attention. Anyway, let’s move on.
So what’s the deal with all these NBA players flaunting their junk on the internet? A couple weeks back, Greg Oden of the Portland Injured Reserve apologized to fans and the league for pictures that were leaked of him and his geriatric ding-a-ling online. Now, just a couple of weeks later, George Hill of the San Antonio Spurs is crying sorry about the same shit. Hey, I have something to share with you guys; YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO PHOTOGRAPH THE WOMEN, NOT YOURSELVES. Taking nude photos as a guy serves only two purposes; sending to your “secret partner” or securing yourself a spot on the next episode of “To Catch A Predator.” So unless you’re going for either one of those coveted slots, just put down the cameras already and play basketball.
There’s been a lot of talk in gold this week about Tiger Woods making a possible return to the game soon. My question, why didn’t is come last week during the Dubai Desert Classic on the European Tour. Seriously, it would seem to me that a guy who now has a known history of washing his balls at every tee would do so in the Middle East where he doesn’t have to worry about the women talking about his escapades.
Alright, and one last thing before I go. I want to touch on a topic that no one else has this week; the rape lawsuit against former Cowboy and all-around scumbag Michael Irvin. Now, Irvin’s the kind of guy you want to root against like you were picking sides in a battle between Clamidia and a condom, but I’m going to take his side here for a second. Now before you get all antsy, I’m not defending the douche. Instead, I’m going to praise him for his decision to fight this by counter-suing the accuser. That’s right, I’m about done with this barrel-scraping, gold-diggers looking to make a quick buck off of every athlete out there. If there was any validity to her accusations, she would have gone to the police. Instead, she thought about how she could make money off the deal and went that route. Well, Irvin wasn’t going to have any of that shit and saw her bet and raised her. Too often these guys sit back and proclaim their innocence only to settle up out of court. Irvin decided he wasn’t going to have his name dragged in the mud and if she was going to slander him, he was going to slap her back. For once, the dude was thinking for himself without the coke.
Finally, it appears we finally got our shit together and have that recorded message ready from our fearless leader…
DAMMIT!!! You guys are all fired. Rest assured though America, and Gabitants, we’ll be back stronger than ever…Until then, I'll leave you with my latest Experiment with Photoshop at the top and the reminder that it’s Truck Day and I’m going to enjoy it!

With every fibre of my moral being, I honestly think it should be Betty Fox. Fuck Wayne Gretzky. Talk is rampant that Gretzky should be chosen to light the cauldron at the Olympics tomorrow. Fuck Gretzky. That is probably the only time I will bash a national icon...but fuck you. If they do select Gretz, he needs to do the honorable thing and turn it down for Fox. Here is why...
Betty Fox is from the Vancouver area, and is the proud mother of Terry Fox. Since her son's untimely death in the middle of the "Marathon of Hope", Betty has campaigned tirelessly for Cancer research, and is a vital component of the annual Terry Fox Run that takes place every year in Canada. The "Marathon of Hope" happens every year around the world, and even involves schools going out and collecting donations for cancer research. Betty supported her son through many trying and difficult times.
Not to discount what Wayne Gretzky has done, but he has not touched as many Canadians as the Fox family has. Sure, Gretzky probably donates to charities, but has his life become running and operating a charity? Nope. I understand that some people may think that an athlete should be the one to light the cauldron. In this case, I strongly disagree. No Canadian or Canadian family has sacrificed as much as the Fox family. I am going to leave you this in closing...
Thanks for reading.
