I watched the Royal Rumble at Buffalo Wild Wings. The place was packed (I have no problem because I get there early). Everyone was getting into the matches.
Bret Hart appeared backstage talking to Alberto del Rio before Alberto's match with the Big Show.
Y2J was a surprise at #2 facing off against Doug Ziggler. Goldust and the Godfather also were participants.
Alberto Del Rio defeated Big Show to retain his World Heavyweight Title
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...
Damn, that looks like me dealing with my new Samsung Galaxy 2 - yeah, yeah the old fart has a new toy! Welcome to the tantrums, where we are inching ever closer to the beginning of March Madness, where my Tuesday Brother and I can fight about how many damn teams the Big Least gets into the dance at the expense of more deserving teams. I'll fire the first shot BB - Nine teams from the Big East is FAR too many!
Rant of the Week – Mickey Loomis. Who? That’s what I initially said. We all know there is trash talking when it comes to contract negotiations and that people say dumb things, but for Loomis who is also known as the GM of the New Orleans Saints to say that Drew Brees is a very good QB and not a great one? How stupid does this guy sound? Look ass-munch, I see your game, keep the price down so you can keep some of your other players – I get it. But by saying this? I think Mickey is still on something from Mardi Gras. Yeah I know it’s semantics, but are you kidding me? Didn’t New Orleans just win a Super Bowl two years ago?
Rant of the Week #2 – Rush Limbaugh. Pretty simple here, I have my thoughts about taxpayers paying for contraception for kids going to school but damn big boy, calling a chick a slut and wanting video of her "in action" on National Radio in front of 20 million robots? That's just flat out stupid! And stop trying to play it off like that wasn't what you meant, you said it - own up! And those of you d-bags running for El Presidente who didn't call this d-bag out for this - YOU SUCK!!!
Oh yeah, you talking heads who are crying because a-holes like Bill Maher were calling Sarah Palin similar names, grow up! Anybody that can think for themselves knows that Maher is an ignorant prick who is just trying to bunch up your panties - so stop playing "the media is picking on us" card. This isn't fourth grade you stupid bitches - yeah Sean Hannity, I said it. For once, do the right damn thing and tell Limbaugh publicly that was a douche-bag move, and say it with conviction and in public.
Oh, and before I forget - can one single piece of shit politician stand up and talk about REAL issues that we REAL people are dealing with? You know - unemployment, shitty education of our kids, crime, drugs. Anybody? Bueller? Bueller? Hey people, if you vote for any incumbent then you lose the right to bitch about anything any more and I don't want to hear you flapping your gums. Vote 'em all out - YOU HAVE THE POWER!!!
MLB. Lenny Dykstra gets three years in the hole for Grand Theft Auto? What about the coke, "X", and synthetic growth hormone at his home? I don't get it, is there anybody else (other than that turd Suckeye Art Schlicter) who has fallen so far? Seriously, how does this dude do this shit to himself? Hey Lenny, if you end up at the prison near my house, let me know, we'll give you pointers about what to look out for...
While I'm ranting - yeah New York Mets, I'm looking at you. You owe $83,000,000 to a trustee representing folks bilked by Bernie Madoff? Screw the dumb shit, whoever is responsible should be Bernie's cell mate. Not only did investors get screwed, but so did Met fans for the forseeable future. Hey Met fans, speaking as a fan of a team that has sucked forever, I feel your pain...
As an observer of the Oakland A's, I get real nervous when I read a report that says that Cuban defector Cespedes is taking batting practice with Man-Ram. Oakland finally spends some money and is relying on Manny Ramirez to provide guidance? Uh oh...
NFL. What N'awlins, did somebody slip some crack in your Gumbo? Perhaps an intervention by Deputy Steven Seagal is in order down on the bayou? First Loomis says ignorant shit about Brees, then you're caught running an ineffective bounty (hell, if you give up 36 points to my SF 49ers in a playoff game, your defense sucks!), and now you want to bring Randy Moss in for a workout? Memo to the Saints - put the crack pipe down and back away real slowly!
I find it totally amusing that Philly “franchised” DeSean Jackson, couldn't have happened to a whinier bitch. Like was said elsewhere, the team has taken control of his immediate future and there’s no way he can pull the diva act like he did last season. If he does, Philly can trade him to a place Jackson doesn’t want to be. Hey DeSean you sissified diva, grow the hell up, become a damn man and play for the team - NOT YOUR DAMN SELF!
Now we get to Chad Johnson (I'm not going to call him Ocho Cinco). This dude is running it on Twitter that a freaking lion pissed on him. What? This is too damn funny, but apparently this drama king is being totally serious.
NBA. Man, I just can’t go two weeks without talking about something “the Chucksta” said. This one is a jewel – he says that 80% of the fans are OK, but the other 20% should be taken out back and shot. When given the opportunity to take the comment back, he didn’t. Judge for yourselves people!
Kenneth Faried of the Denver Nuggets is a freaking beast. He's a normal Dennis Rodman!
Only the Sacramento Kings could be up three with less than a second left in the game and foul somebody shooting from behind the three point line while in the act of shooting rather than foul before the shooter gets into his motion. Then to overtime where they give up a three to the Nuggets with four seconds left. I'm tired of this - it's just plain stupidity!
