And the sky didn't fall!

Since it was founded in 1932, Augusta has been a Men Only Club...Until this week, when they invited former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, and South Carolina financier Darla Moore, to become it's first female members...I'm sure some of the good ole boys were clutching their chests, thinking this was how the end of the World begins...Relax, it's okay, the world will survive this...

But now that this barrier has been broken through, I feel it's time for me to make a push, to break down another barrier...Tomorrow, I'm going to begin my quest, to become a member of CURVES...I bet they won't let me in...As much as women complain about males and their double standards, they often don't budge on theirs...Hey, ladies are allowed in at Augusta now...Why can't a guy workout at Curves?

I actually don't care if Curves lets me in...There are plenty of places for me to workout at...Oh yeah, I gotta get my fat ass off the computer, and actually make an effort to exercise, before I should complain about where I can exercise...Just like there were plenty of other places for women to play golf...(Seriously, over 17,000 in the U.S.)...So why make such a big deal about stupid Augusta? A bunch of narrow-minded rich douches...Why would you want to be around those ass-hats?

Do women really feel they have reached some level of equality now?

Women have always considered the weaker of the two genders...Which I would gladly argue for the side of women...Yeah, I may throw a better punch then my wife...Sure I can throw a baseball, and I have better bat-speed then her...But I was there as she gave birth to our 3 children...Throwing a punch ain't shit compared to pushing a life out through your pisser...And I won't ever be offering to do that...And I highly doubt I have the same mental toughness that she had to go through that...

I find everything about this topic, idiotic...It's stupid that Augusta has refused to allow women in for all these years...But it's a private, and they have the right to do what they want...Yet women have fought against it for years, even though there are plenty of other stupid golf courses...Oh, and golf is stupid...Women have no problem with having their own private places...And now there are women who have a sense of equality, because a bunch of rich, backwards-thinking , douchebags, have allowed two rich, women to join their club...Now a few more sponsors will be happy to put money into the Masters and Augusta..It's all fucking nonsense!

And ladies, as a father of two young girls (almost 11 and almost 2) let me tell you what I intend on telling them as they grow up...

'You're equal to, if not better then any man out there...You don't need to be a member of their shitty golf club to prove that...Do your own thing...You don't have to prove anything to anyone except yourself.'

Look out Curves...I'm coming for you!

Later, The Beeze.
 

Don't worry Gabbers, I got this - it's in my roundhouse!!!

First off, you all know I RARELY post on days not named Tuesday, but I gotta vent and if some of this may not make grammatical sense.  So What - I don't fucking care!  If you're a member of the grammar or cursing police - jump off now or suck a big fat one, I could care less, but either way get out of my face because I'm venting whether you like it or not!  

Oh boy, Jim Rome has an MF-ing woody this morning after the news broke that Dwight Howard was taking his dwightmare to SOCAL so he can hang with the SOCAL Pimp in the Box.  Here's a question for you Rome, you get on everybody about "Jaking", but I wonder what you'll say when Dwight Howard has the miracle recovery and plays well in November, you know, sort of like he never had a back injury - GET MY MEANING?

How's that NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement that was supposed to protect small market teams doing? Yeah David $tern, you save the Kings for Sacramento, but for what - to take a four game beatdown against the West-Coast All-Stars during a glorified regular season? Yeah Stern, just keep up with that shit-eating grin you slimy worm - you got what you wanted Lakers/Heat in June. Go fuck yourself.

LA Lakers come up with their sixth HOF Center and give up next to nothing? So let's take stock here: The Lakers this off-season (barely six weeks old) come up with Steve Nash, Antawn Jamison, and now Dwight Howard? Hey David $tern, how the fuck does this happen? Uh, don't answer that because when you stopped CP3 from going last year, I knew Howard was gonna become a Laker.

Here's the deal. If I am an Owner or General Manager of either Houston or Brooklyn, I never again deal with the Orlando Magic. Not only that, any calls made by them to my organization go unreturned - ANYBODY WHO RETURNS A CALL TO ORLANDO GETS FIRED ON THE EFFING SPOT!!! Orlando should be suspended for tanking the 2012/13 season! If I'm an owner and my GM came to me and wanted to make a deal with either Orlando or LA Lakers, I fire them on the spot for stupidity!

Now to the rest of the league not named Los Angeles Lakers:  WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?  Seriously - how many times are you ignorant bastards going to deal superstar and potential HOF players to the Lakers and get absolutely nothing back in return while the Lakers rack up even more bling while laughing at your ignorance?  It absolutely astounds me that after seeing what the Lakers did to Memphis four years ago that they didn't make LA give up far more than they did. 

MEMO TO THE REST OF THE LEAGUE NOT NAMED "LAKERS":  Feel free to NOT hand the Lakers HOF talent every couple of years or so. 

We verbally beat the ever-loving shit out of douche-bag Ohio State fan, but man, has anybody heard the ignorance shit coming out of bandwagon Laker fans yaps and twitter accounts? You've got to be shitting me!!! Yeah fuck stick bandwagons, I see you working, you'll be the a-holes with half-Laker/half-Heat jerseys and hats running around BF Nebraska or down in the ATL acting like this is the greatest thing for the NBA. Might be for you bandwagons, but for us fans who have legitimate interest in single teams that year in and year out have no shot, this is the worst thing that can possibly happen.

And Laker Fan, don't hand me that shit about giving up Bynum - he was a mother-fucking head-case from hell who is going to piss Philly fan off royally with his me-first antics.  Doug Collins doesn't have a fucking prayer and with no quality vet to knock some sense into him, Philly is heading for some stupid-ass drama and trust me when I say this, Philly fan will not tolerate it well at all!

Denver gets AI.  So what?  Another wing man. 

Colin Cowherd you ignorant big-market shill/slut, don't tell me the Lakers are that much smarter and that much more aggressive than any other market - they're not, they're being handed stuff.  WHY?

Magic Johnson, SHUT THE FUCK UP!  You have absolutely no business being on TV you Laker-biased bastard.

Fuck you NBA!  Now you know what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna purposely pimp OKC.  I want OKC to layeth the smacketh down on LA Lakers candy asses.

In the meantime, the real fans of the league will be bored with a damn pre-determined outcome and many of us will waste time debating the NBA when all that really matters is that it will be Lakers/Heat come June.

Lastly, living in Sacramento I have one question for the NBA - why should I buy a ticket to come to the unnamed arena to see Toronto, Portland, or Milwaukee come play Sacramento from here on out? Seriously, what's the point? It's a notch above the D-League but it's damn sure not the NBA! The superstars have all moved to the LA/NYC/Miami markets. Did you know that the 2008 olympic team almost exclusively now plays in those three markets?

Australian hurdler, Michelle Jenneke...Watch the whole video...She's hot...She has a nice warm up routine...Oh, and she runs the hurdles pretty damn well too...





I could care less about the Olympics, but I'll check the guide to see when the Women's Hurdles is on...

Later, The Beeze. 

  Well before I get to how the NCAA came down on Penn State, I have to get to this...It was announced this afternoon/evening that my New York Rangers, finally got a deal done with the Columbus Bluejackets, for star winger, 28 year old, Rick Nash...Even better, is what the Rangers gave up for Nash...The Rangers sent forwards Brandon Dubinsky, Aretm Anisimov, and defenseman Tim Erixon, along with a 2013 first-round draft pick...Besides getting Nash, who has 6 seasons left on his contract, the Rangers get defenseman Steve Delisle, and a conditional 2013 third-round draft pick...

Dubinsky was one of the key guys in the locker room, and while his offensive numbers dipped last season, his toughness, willingness to drop the gloves, and defensive play were very important to the Rangers success...His contract size pretty much made him expendable...Columbus fans will love him, on and off the ice, just as they did Nash...Anisimov is a good player, but hasn't yet reached his full potential...Erixon had a cup of coffee in the NHL last year, and should make the Jackets roster this season...Lots of upside in his game...

As the talks have gone on for months, names like Kreider, Stepan, and Del Zotto kept coming up...No way did I want the Rangers to move Kreider and Stepan...As much as IO love Nash, I didn't want to lose those guys...DZ okay, but those other two kids, give the team so much extra jump...Stepan has already shown the ability to be an excellent two-way player, and the spark Kreider gave the team in the playoffs, made it clear that this kid is one of the key building blocks...

Adding Nash's offensive skills is huge, especially since Marian Gaborik will be out for the beginning of the season recovering from a shoulder injury...Nash's work ethic, and professionalism will fit right in with the Rangers and what coach John Tortorella has been doing there...I'm very happy with deal!

Now, to the way the NCAA dropped the hammer on Penn State...$60 million fine...Yes!
4 year ban on PSU going to a bowl game...Yes
4 year ban on conference championship and national championship eligibility...Yes!
Loss of 40 scholarships over 4 years...Yes
All wins from 1998-2011, stripped...Yes/Wow!
I have to say, stripping the wins, shocked me...

It's rumored that PSU had this option, or to have a 2 year "Death Penalty"...Shutting down the program for two year...I have to say, this may actually do about the same kind of damage to the "Death Penalty"...Losing 40 scholarships, and the 4 year bans, just kills recruiting for at least 3 years...And yes, there are still PSU alums, and fans, and students bitching and moaning about this...And yes, the Paterno family is holding firmly to their belief that Joe Paterno was a mother fucking saint...He wasn't...I'm sorry you were fooled...We all were...Even people like me, who aren't Penn State fans, we all respected Paterno as a coach...He seemed like a no-nonsense guy...He disciplined his players fairly, and harsher then most coaches did...Sadly he didn't do the same when it came to his coaches...

This was a strong statement by the NCAA...All programs have been put on notice, that this shit can't go on...But now that the NCAA has taken, a moral and social stand, they need to live up to it...There are plenty of other wrong doings that have and will go on...They need to continue to be firm if they want to change the "Football first culture" that NCAA President Mark Emmert spoke of...

That's it for now...
