Well, my weekend had started out pretty damn good...Friday night the wife and I went to dinner...We both had steak, because that fish on Friday thing is crap...Just an old bullshit deal the Church worked out with the fishermen to help increase the sales of fish...Then we saw the movie "Safe House"...Pretty good...I liked it...Kept you wondering, and had some good action...Then on the way home I talked the wife into giving me some road head...Always good!
But after about an hour after wee got home, something happened...Something went wrong...Twitter blew up with the news that the Washington Redskins had traded 3 first round picks, and a 2nd round pick to the Rams, to move up to the number two slot in the draft...Locking up the ability to draft Robert Griffin III...My dream of seeing this was crushed
Kid looked good in Brown and Orange...
I was pissed...Then rumors came out that the Browns had actually been in the mix...Offering almost as much...But honestly, I don't believe anything Adam Schefter says...Guy just throws shit against the wall and waits to see if it sticks...He's wrong at least 75% of the time! So I'm skeptical about how much the Browns really dug into the trade talks...
That said, looking at all the holes the Browns have to fill, and the fact that GM Tom Heckert said he doesn't plan on making a splash in free agency, maybe it's better they didn't give up this year's 1st and 2nd, along with their next two 1st rounders...(Yeah, I'm trying to be positive)...
Then of course we have had to deal with the Peyton Manning circus...Christ, early in the week the news broke that the Colts were going to release Manning, and all the fuck-stains at ESPN acted as if they were shocked by this...We all knew this was going to happen. Why is everyone going bat-shit about it?
Then the "Bounty-gate" talk has continued...First, I'm sick of everything semi-scandalous event, or topic having "gate" added to the end of it...This is all Nixon's fault...Ever since Watergate, we have had to put up with this...But fuck-heads, it took place in the Watergate Hotel...Gate doesn't mean bad, or dirty, or scandal...It was just part of the hotels name...So knock off all the "gate" shit!
Second, fuck all this pussy talk about this bounty shit...Monstrous men, playing a violent game, having their coach offer them money to take the violence up a notch...How and why is it so shocking? What shocking is it took this long for some one to actually talk about it...
Now I'm going to get into the political waters...Always dangerous, I know...I've avoided politics for awhile...I've been pretty much sick of all these dolts! But I have to speak up about this Rick Santorum idiot...
Listen, I understand and I can respect that there are people who's political views can be some-what shaped by their faith...But this guy is out there constantly talking about religion...Nothing about the economy...Nothing about foreign policy...Nothing about the environment...Nothing about the cost of education going up, while the quality of education is going down...It's just all about his Christianity...Are you running for President of the United States, or High Priest?
Santorum said that Kennedy's speech about separation of Church and State made him want to puke...Then I see some idiot bitch on TV saying she likes him because he believes in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights...No he doesn't! If he did he'd be all for Separation of Church and State...This country was founded Freedom of Religion...Not 'freedom to be Christian and if you aren't we're going to force our beliefs on you.'
And then of course there was big, fat, Rush Limbaugh calling a young woman a slut, and a prostitute...Rush and Rick don't think women's contraception should be covered by insurance or medicare/medicaid...Nor should having their tubes tide...Yet it's okay for a vasectomy to be covered...It's okay for Limbaugh's Viagra prescription to be covered...And yes, all those old timers have Viagra covered by Medicare/Medicaid...
Rush likes to stand on some moral high ground...Really, guy who has been divorced 3 times...He's on wife #4, yet he's fathered no kids...Were they using contraception? Has Rush been shooting blanks all these years? Maybe...Could be a side effect from all those years abusing Oxy!
It's odd, these two guys are a couple of these fuckers who say Government is too big, and needs to back off...But then they want to tell people what they can and can't do in their bedrooms...They turn around and say, 'You two women can't love each other, can't muff dive, and can't get married.' Or they say, 'Of course have sex with your wife, but no birth control allowed.' Or, 'Sorry you had a fucked up family member who sexually abused you, and got you pregnant, but you aren't allowed to abort it.' Yet none of these fuckers are standing in line to adopt the unwanted children they want to force women to have...
And fuck off if you to bash me for being pro-choice...Sorry, I don't believe some suit should be making choices for all women because of his faith...And while I believe that, clearly I'm pro-life...I got these three kids running around making me crazy don't I!
If your religious, if you have faith in a higher power, fucking awesome...But your faith shouldn't be trying to dictate government policy for a country made up all kinds of different faiths, and people who don't attach themselves to a particular faith...
And the only bit of God I want to hear about in the bedroom is this...
Well normally Monday Moaning is full of sports talk, but sad to say there wasn't much in the sports world that crabbed my interest...It doesn't help that I feel like shit because of an awful case of Bronchitis...Oh, and our furnace died Thursday...Let's start there...
So the fucking furnace took a dump...The one motor was going...I called early in the week and set up an appointment for the guy to come out...Then it crapped out Thursday afternoon...So I called the office and let them know...I specifically asked the woman if the guy would have the part....She said yes...So, the wife crabbed a couple space heaters on her way home, to get us through the night...Yes, the cold weather came moving in this week...
So the guy shows up Friday, about 4:30 in the afternoon..."Yep, it's dead...I can't fix it until Monday." Of course I responded with a, "What the fuck!?!" He didn't have the part, and couldn't get one until Monday...The office never updated him when I called Thursday...So the Beeze family has been running 3 space heaters all weekend...Yes, Friday got really cold...Some areas got snow...Happy November!
Then I figure I'll calm down by going through the stuff sent home from school...Friday was report card day, and my daughter was excited to see how she did...She got a certificate for perfect attendance, and we got a letter telling us what the school fees were this year...The delayed telling us this, until after a school levy renewal was passed...But there was no report card...Call the school, and they said it was in the office with a group of students that weren't paid up for lunches...Except, we are...She checked, and of course I was right...She apologized, and said we'd get it Monday...
Then Sunday night her teacher emailed me...I had sent her an email Friday asking about it, before I called the school...She informed me that the school policy was to hold report cards until the fees were paid...The fees that they had just informed me of, right then...She apologized for the mix up, and explained that many parents were upset about this...I hope so...I also hope they responded like I did...
I sent the school Superintendent an email, stating how ridiculous this was...They were holding parents hostage for money that they had just told us about, like we're all some kind of deadbeats...The phrase, How dare you, was used...Along with a good rant about how disrespectful this is to parents and students...I also made it clear, that if her report card didn't come home Monday, that there is going to be Hell to pay...
Yes, Paul, Everyone is Stupid!
So, Monday should be interesting!
Let me mix in some sports here...I don't know what everyone else will be talking about around the country, but I know what the people in Cleveland are going to be talking about this week...
The Cleveland Browns, beating the living shit out of the New England Patriots...34-14...I found myself in an odd place...I had assumed the Browns would compete, but that the Patriots would do what they do...Well, they didn't...This was the first Browns game that I had watched every minute of this year, and I'm glad I did...My inner Browns fan showed up as I was watching Peyton Hillis run all over the Patriots defense... Hillis rushed for 184 yards on 29 carries, with 2 touchdowns...He also caught 3 passes for 36 yards...I also have to admit, I haven't been a Colt McCoy fan, but the kid played well...He completed 14 of 19, for 174 yards, including some clutch plays...and NO turnovers...He also rushed 3 times for 20 yards and a touchdown...Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's the second coming, but he played well, and he didn't shit the bad, at all...
The best thing to see was the line play...For years, I bitched about people who always wanted the Browns to draft the sexy players, and go after big-money skill guys...To win, you have to start up front...The Browns Offensive line owned New England's defense...And the browns front seven handled handled the Pats O-line...The Browns aren't great, but they're getting better...Maybe Mangina will keep his job a next year...
For those who are use to reading my Monday Moaning post, you're probably use to an opening image like the one above...You also expect some sports coverage...For those new to this blog, or even those who have been here before, you may be wondering what does this picture have to do with sports? If there is anything that should be considered a sport that isn't....What's going on in that picture, sure as hell should be!
Over the past few years that I've been blogging, my posts and sometimes my comments on others' blogs, have offended people...Including little things like that picture...So I ask, if it offends you, why do you read it? I'll tell you why...That picture peaked your interest, and you're wondering, will I offend you today, of make you laugh, or make you think...That's one of the two reasons I write...
1. I write to get all the voices out of my head...I'm trying to get my emotions out, so I can go to sleep already...But I'm not that guy that just says I write for me...What good is it if nobody actually reads it? This leads us to number 2. By doing this, I'm trying to draw an emotion from you...If what I write makes you laugh, pisses you off, or makes you think....I win! I have done what I've set out to do...You may not like what I said, but if it affected you in some way, that's a good thing...I hope that clears things up with some of my haters...If not, tough shit I guess!
Now to some sports...
Of course I'm starting off with Notre Dame football! Why the fuck wouldn't I? The Fighting Irish opened the Brian Kelly era with a 23-12 win...Were they outstanding? No...Were they good? Yes...It was nice to hear Kelly afterwards already thinking about what they need to work on...
The Defense had been questionable the last few years under Fatty Weis...They played okay, including two picks, but they still have plenty of work to do...Especially getting more pressure on the QB...
The Offense played well...Their third series, the O-Line started blowing the Purdue Defense off the ball...Both Armando Allen, and Cierre Wood ran the ball well...I would love to see the Irish be able to pound it down people's throats...
I'm not going to get too excited over this win, but since Kelly was hired, I've felt like he's the right guy for this program...The Irish should win at least 8 games this year, and if the continue to progress under Kelly, 10 games could be possible...That said, I expected them to thump Michigan next week, but after the game the Wolverines played against UConn, the Irish better be ready for a battle...
Nothing comes easy in College Football...Just ask Ole Miss...I know everyone has mentioned it, but screw it...Jacksonville State beat Ole Miss 49-48 in overtime Saturday, and it's worth mentioning again!
The NFL season opens Thursday, which means some important shit had to happen this weekend...Mainly, drafting for my two fantasy football leagues...And as always, I feel confident that I'll beat all your assess! I won't bore you with my rosters, just know I'll be taking some people's money!
Moving along...By now we've all heard about the little scuffle at the U.S. Open...Now the "Situation" looking guy has been taking some shit, and as much as I don't want to stick up for his Italian, "Jersey Shore" ass, dude was in the right...Fuck that bitch, and that old guy, and all the other haters...Knock that old fucker down "Situation"!
BREAKING NEWS!!!!!!!
Derrelle Revis will be signing with the Jets Monday! No terms available right now, but it's rumored to be a 7 year deal, with a shit-load of money!
Before I go, I hope everyone has had, and will continue to have a great Labor Day weekend...The Beeze family checked out our local high school game Friday night...Saturday night the Mrs. and I got out of the House for awhile...A little dinner and a MOVIE...Sunday friends of ours came to town for the Air Show...Fucking Blue Angels are amazing! Monday, I plan on relaxing...It's Labor Day...We all should relax and take a break from the grind...Just like Peter Gibbons...
