Tim Thomas Is the Man
The Infamous Full Moon
Bryce Harper gets his first major league hit on Saturday night but it came after the camera caught a full moon. I guess strange things do happen underneath a full moon. I mean what I want to know is whether or not this guy got chucked out of the ballpark? I mean that is just about as blatant as it gets right there. What about the grandma sitting in the front row just above the word 'shadows' checking out the ace over there. Alright enough of that.
The Infamous Bumping of an Official...Hmm
I see no bump here. Now this is a subject that has become very sensitive to me. When it comes to bumping refs, it really should have to be a clear intentional bump. This just isn't intentional. If you look at the refs mouth too he is clearly taunting Rondo and asking for a reaction out of him. It is an absolute disgrace. Rondo should not be suspended for this at all. Bumping an official has to be more obvious and have more evidence of intent to warrant a suspension. Rondo I feel you baby, I to was once screwed over for a phantom bumping of an official. Still haunts me everyday.

MLB Umpire Takes Down the Steaker
So Clam Jam Again Looked Weak
Okay so listen, it's no surprise that Fairfield is not much of a college town. The police officers there don't fight any crime so the favorite thing to do is to control underage drinking and house parties. I understand that universities always have to have their little spring ragers monitored but for anybody who knows Fairfield, seeing cops on horses is just bad news especially along that road there. The fact that you also need a wristband for an outdoor kegger is just insane and the cops seem to be quite strict about it. Listen, Fairfield is a town that sits on the beach so you would think that it automatically has to be a good college town right? Wrong. It's a very upscale type town. People don't like having drunk college kids roaming the streets and causing all sorts of problems. Why do you think the police are here? It's not because of the university thinks its necessary but its because the people complain. Fairfield just won't be a college town. You got to take it from a true Fairfielder who knows how the town works. It's a fun town, it really is. The Fairfield University students though just don't quite understand how it works. But they are leaving soon anyways and it's back to the old veterans of the field to start taking over the party scene again.
PS- How nervous does kid look on the deck there with the cops looming?
One Fairfield University student had this to say...I wonder how many beers he had in him when he used to the word 'brutality.' Little bit extreme there Gompers.
The One Year Anniversary Approaching...
In one's generation, there is always that moment that seems to define the times. Usually there are events that spark emotion, pain and tears. In my generation, it was the events of September 11th. For many including myself, it changed the way we looked at the world. Most of us just innocent middle schoolers who didn't quite understand the world. It was a time when there really wasn't much of care in the world for us. All we really knew was that we had to wake up at 7:30 am and be at school by 8 o'clock. Then we'd come home, have a snack, go to soccer practice and that would be our day. The entire school year went just like that. But on the September 11th day, everything changed. What struck me was that the world wasn't as simple as just going to school everyday and running around at soccer practice. At that age, you see the horrible images of the attacks and its confusing and you don't understand. I think that we can all agree that it was the first time we had ever seen our parents scared and for me it was the first time they didn't have the right answer for me. Usually whenever you ask them a question when you're that young, they know every answer. They make sure that you go throughout your days with no doubt. But when I asked 'why this had happened' they didn't know how to answer. Nobody did. Who was it? Why did it happen? What did the people who flew that day, or went to work that day do to deserve this? All of a sudden, the young innocent mind became flooded with questions that couldn't be answered. The fact of the matter was that hate exists in the world and not everybody in the world is going to be your biggest fan. Not everyone in the world agrees with the ways of the United States and many will go to extremes to prove this.
In the days following 9/11 I can remember making a sign with my sister that read "God Bless America." That summer, my house had flooded and we were living in Westport, Connecticut temporarily at my grandparents. Now my sister was even younger than me at the time and truthfully I think she understood even less that I did about the events that day. But she without question saw the uncertainty and confusion in my parents. We took the sign and taped it to a big window in the house, facing the road. The road was a dead end and not many drove down it so therefore not many saw it. However for me, it provided a sense of comfort. Nobody had the answers for me so I decided I could compensate for that by showing the country my pride and support. Sure everyday we sang the national anthem in school and nobody thought much of it. But after that September day that song became more than just a daily routine, it became a part of me.
Flash forward to that May 1st night last year. I was sitting on my bed, staring blankly at the notes for my final that I had to take the next day. My procrastination took me to the Twitter. I refreshed my timeline and the phrase 'Bin Laden is dead' caught my eyes right away. I didn't know whether it was an infamous Twitter hoax or if it was actually true. I immediately bolted to get the TV remote and flip on CNN. There it was. The headline that said Osama Bin Laden had been killed. Like I said, a generation will experience a time or an event that sparks pain and emotion but having the confidence in your nation to deliver the closure you need is what fights off the pain and keeps one at ease. Without hesitation, I took off towards the White House as it was only 4 blocks away from my dorm. The rally at the White House represented a moment of closure for all the young Americans who saw their parents scared for the first time that September day. It brought back all the horrible images of the day and the tears. But it teaches everyone the importance of staying true to your nation, and never giving up hope on it. To me, the United States is the greatest country in the world and nobody can tell me otherwise. I trusted that after that day my country was going to achieve justice for those attacks and they would not leave the families of the loved ones lost out to dry.
I still think about the victims of those attacks everyday. A basic routine for them traveling to lower Manhattan or to the Pentagon, like me going to soccer practice, ended up being their last. Surely, none of the pilots, the passengers and the employees deserved any of this. They were fathers, mother, cousins, grandparents, friends. I ask myself everyday how I can honor them and the answer is simple: take advantage of what this great country has to offer and make the most of every opportunity here. None of those people deserved to die that day. Nobody ever deserves that. But I feel that it my duty as an American to honor them through making the most of my life. America of course is the land of opportunity but it is also my home, my colors and my people. If I work to achieve my goals and dreams, I can make this country better, just like all those people were doing.
This fist pump was dedicated to America baby.
This Why I Hate New York
Proof That New York Doesn't Know Sports
This is a store outside of Radio City Music Hall. Jake Long went No. 1 in 2008 you dummies. This city honestly just doesn't get it.

Fake Derek Rose 'Torn ACL and MCL' Tweet
Hmm...any coincidence that this was a story that came out of Miami? No, I don't think so. They are so excited that Rose went down that they just had to spit out a completely false story. How weak does this make Miami look? Basically they just admitted indirectly that they know they simply would struggle against a Bulls team with Derek Rose in a 7 game series. It's that simple. They jumped to conclusions here and it really isn't surprising. They'll get by the Knicks in 4 and steamroll to the Eastern Conference finals where they'll meet the Celtics and lose.
PS-Celtics have a legitimate shot to win the title. Yup.

Why is this News?
Who cares. What is the point of this? What is this proving? And why does Connecticut have so many twins in its state? Is it something in the water? And why do people go through the effort of trying to make this a world record? I'll tell you what I just ate a Chipotle burrito in about 3 minutes, I think I'll call Guinness now and see if its a world record. Sweet.
Clean or Dirty?
That Finger Will Soon Have a Super Bowl Ring on It
Listen, I know all of you are excited about your teams making all these picks and of course everybody thinks their team has made a splash that's going to put them over the top and making them a Super Bowl winner. However, I'm a Patriots fan. I root for the greatest franchise that the NFL has ever seen, so when I say that we basically secured our spot in next year's Super Bowl, you better believe it. Drafting Chandler Jones and Dont'a Hightower literally should be scary for the rest of the league. Now that the Pats are going to have a defense that could potentially be scary, just accept the fact that they have the skill set and talent to go 16-0 again. It's not cocky its just the truth. It just makes sense. We were one defensive stop from a 4th title and these two guys will be able to supply that now. Let's go!
Yeah, Chandler Jones.

SportsCenter Not Top 10...Awkward Moment
Wednesday, April 25, 2012
Rating the Alive at Five Lineup This Summer...
So aside from me waking up to a brutal, ruthless comment, I was brightened and cheered up by the announcing of the Alive at Five lineup. It goes as follows:
So the big question is: how does it measure up to last year's lineup which included 'Third Eye Blind' and 'MC Hammer.?' I'm going to come out and say that this lineup is much improved from last year's performances. Obviously, I don't think you are going to top that Third Eye Blind show simply because that was just one huge sing-a-long and I crowd surfed so that won't be topped. I'm not saying I won't crowd surf again this year but we might have to wait to see that until July 19th with my boys Hot Chelle Rae. By the way, the two sleepers in this lineup are the Los Lonely Boys and Foreigner. The Los Lonely Boys have sick summer songs that'll just get you in the mood to have a good time. They may be just a tad bit washed up but they'll put on one hell of a show. Then to close out the series we have "The Eye of the Tiger." That's the only song I know by them and it just gets me going. May be too much of a hype song for the end of summer but regardless, it's go time. So all of you from Fairfield down to Greenwich, I'll see you on Metro North. And can you make an agreement to not crowd in front of the train bathrooms? I know it becomes a zoo on those trains but let's just be civil. Alright good talk. See you soon.
Woke Up to this Comment Today...
So I woke up this morning to this comment posted underneath my little write up about how Eli Manning is really being just a flat-out baby. Talk about a nice, positive way to start off your morning huh? Well, allow me to respond sir. First of all, being a Boston fan is a way of life. It starts with representing the city and the teams regardless of the situation and I'm sorry that I take it seriously. Just like people cry and go absolutely nuts when they see a girl like Justin Bieber, I do the same when it comes to my teams. Sure, they may not know who I am or know that I rock their gear, but I'm going to back them up each and everyday. I apologize for actually having a passion about something and when my team wins like they all have in the past 11 years, I feel like I've won too. You can say all you want about Boston fans, you can say all you want about how pathetic I am but sports play a pretty big role in my life. Sports are something you can't script, not like a stupid Hollywood movie where everything is fake. In sports, the joy is real and the pain is real. There is no middle ground. Is there jealousy? Not really. But isn't this what makes sports fun, the ripping and the ranting? But thanks for your last line though, glad you think I'm funny. Later dutch.
Must Be a Good Book...
I mean the Royals really aren't this bad that this guy has to be doing this. I can understand whipping out a book during a play but during a big league ballgame? If this guy has a wife, she should automatically divorce him right away. This has 'man-card revocation' written all over it. If you can't have some bronsons and sit down and watch a game in possibly the greatest seats in the park, then I'm really not sure that you that your wife can even respect you anymore. Soft move my friend, very soft move.

In Case You Were Wondering What Happened the Last 3 Times the Bruins Played a Game 7...
vs. Montreal, Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, 2011
vs. Tampa Bay, Eastern Conference Finals, 2011
vs. Vancouver, Stanley Cup Finals, 2011
"WE DIDN'T LOST TO THE BRITISH, AND WE ARE NOT GONNA LOSE TO BRITISH COLUMBIA."
An Entire Playlist Dedicated To 'Call Me Maybe' Remixes
I'm not going to complain at all. Nothing wrong with this whatsoever. I'm still a huge fan of the original. I was one of those who was a little late on the 'Call Me Maybe' bandwagon but this song can flat out get the people going. If you can't belt out a few words and just pump the fist to this jam then I really think you just lack the whole 'having a good time' mentality. I'll be honest, it's playing right now as I am typing this. Another great aspect of this song is that you can just 'cat-daddy' 'dougie' or do the 'twist' to this song and you don't look dumb. It flat out gets the people going. So if you're a DJ and the alcohol isn't lubricating the people enough, just play this song and people will be coming out of their shells in two seconds. Guaranteed.
Oh, it's provocative.
So Apparently Catfish Have Armor Now?
I don't know how many times I have to say it, we humans just don't belong in the water and now all these little critters are fighting back. If it isn't a shark, then it's a whale and if it isn't a whale then now it's apparently this catfish that looks like it could destroy me. They're affecting land now too. They are making their move. Apparently they cause erosion but I really don't care about that. The bigger deal is that they are burrowing holes along that water's edge that have apparently caused injuries to many people when they step and trip on them. Can we not take a hint yet? Catfish are supposed to the friendly, ugly looking things but are supposed to be harmless. A lot of people even like eating it because it is supposed to taste good. Now, you have this catfish that is just straight taking over. Gone are the days of the ugly looking ones and in come the days of the armored catfish. It's a revolution of catfish and we are about to experience a little bit of a problem. Everybody panic!
Stay Sharp There Dutch
Were they going for some sort of witty pun or play on words here? I can't find it so therefore this is just a real dumb sign.
Study Shows More and More Teens Are Turning to Hand Sanitizer to Get Drunk
Well I never thought I'd see the day. More and more teenagers these days are apparently ditching the Dubra and Zelko and are going straight for the Purell. What in the name of whatever is going on right now? Whatever happened to the days of getting your older sibling to supply you with the goods? Now kids can literally get hammered in a school bathroom. I really want to interview a kid who has done this and ask him or her what the heck they were thinking. I honestly take one whiff of this stuff just by casually applying it to my paws and I feel like I'm going to fall over and faint. Apparently the alcohol present in hand sanitizer is about 120 proof. Your standard shot of vodka is about 80 proof. In my eyes, any alcohol that is stronger than Captain and his 100 friends (100 proof for those who are slow) is just straight lethal. You really shouldn't mess with the triple-digit proofs unless let's say it's your 21st. Could you just imagine a 15-year old stumbling into the house and the mother asks to smell the teenagers breathe? Probably not a trace of an alcohol scent. Would pay to see a mother's face when the kid admitted to slugging some green hand sanitizer. That would certainly be rich.
I Am So Sick of This Guy
Eli has come out and has said that he is "the third most talked about QB in New York." Newsflash: you are because you suck. You aren't good. I don't wanna hear anything about how he beat Brady again because the last time I checked, Brady and him don't go up toe to toe and line up. Look at the stat line in the game, it was basically even. If it weren't for Brady's interception (he was injured after the Raven game) the stats would have been in Brady's favor. Eli you aren't good. You are nothing but a little whining Manning brat who literally will not even be close to being as good as his brother or Brady. If you can still win a Super Bowl again and still not be talked about then you just deserve no credit and basically should just accept your role as a mediocre, Trent Dilfer-like quarterback. You are getting overshadowed by Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez. Yikes man. That just stinks. This just ultimately proves that not even New York City thinks Eli is an elite quarterback. For crying out loud, Alex Smith is better than Eli and they were thinking about dumping him.

Bulls on the Loose in Fairfield...But Captured
And as I was about to post this...they caught the bulls. Stay away from Stillson Road!
Your 2012 MLB Ballpark Beer Prices
Naturally Fenway charges the most for a beer. It used to be fine that Fenway charged the most because the team was actually good. Now people probably run out of cash trying to drink away the pain of what they are watching at the ballpark night after night. I was ecstatic that last night's game was rained out. It probably would have ruined the Bruins epic OT win down here in this "city" they call DC. My bold prediction is that Bobby V doesn't make it through the All-Star Break and fans go on strike to charge less for the beers. I also see Fenways consecutive sell-out streak coming to an end by late May, early June.
I Have NO Problem With the Artest Cheap Shot
And here are his tweets following the incident...classic.
Wait, People are Just Starting to Realize that Detroit is Neglecting Tiger Stadium?
I was there for the Final Four in 2008 and this was going on. I saw it first hand. Tiger Stadium, the once historic site, and the one time home of the Detroit Tigers is nothing but a wasteland now. However, this is just becoming a news story today? I mean c'mon. This has been going on since its closing and it is just getting noticed? It is one of the saddest sites to see in today's world easily. Especially being a baseball fan, watching a stadium like this just go to waste is a sad reminder of what is currently going on in Detroit. I could not even imagine if Fenway was left to crumble like this. It really is a sad, eerie site. All that is left there now is untamed weeds and benches. No plaque? A one time place of joy is a symbol of struggle in the Motor City.
It stood like this for about 10 years for lack of funding.
The half-standing stadium with the old Union Station in Detroit abandoned in the background.
It stood like this for about 10 years for lack of funding.
The half-standing stadium with the old Union Station in Detroit abandoned in the background.
And this all that stands on the site now. Home plate is barely visible through the towering, unkept grass.

A Serious Write-Up Regarding the Sox
When one thinks of the Boston Red Sox, they think tradition, the plain old uniforms, Fenway and one of the greatest fan bases the world of sports has ever seen. The Red Sox have been inflicting pain on their fans more often than not, that's just the way the game works. You can't win a World Series every year, you can't win every game, you can't beat the Yankees all the time. But what do you tell a fan base that expects all of these things year in and year out? Call us crazy, but this is what we expect. We may be smart enough baseball fans to know that winning every game is impossible, but winning the World Series and beating the Yankees every game is expected and desired. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm writing today because in an era where the Sox are expected to be atop the division and the baseball world year after year, it is hard to come to the conclusion that this team is in fact changing. Change is inevitable when success is experienced so much in a decade. What we witnessed at the end of last season was the end of an era, an end that is experienced by all champions at one point in time. A newer folk rise up like the Rays and the Rangers and take center stage. The Red Sox have to change their role as a team and understand that they are no longer feared. The stitched letter 'B' on the navy blue hat is no longer feared. The talent may be there on the roster, but talent only gets you so far. We hear constantly about having a swagger about oneself. Well in baseball, an entire team needs to have a swagger. For the Sox its swagger was killed last September. We thought they were back after taking 3 out of 4 from Joe Maddon's Rays, but Texas brought them back to reality.
I look in the dugout and I don't see the same '04, '07 mentality. I don't see any confidence, I see no trust and most of all I see no team. I don't see the bunch of idiots that I saw in those championship years. I can't remember the last time the Red Sox had a manager, player incident but Bobby Valentine changed that with just one answer to a question. They never used to be this fragile. The bottom line is, the Sox are no longer what they used to be. But the best weapon that the Red Sox have is their fans. For 86 years the fans did not give in and we don't plan to now. Through all the tough economic times that this country has seen, the Sox have been able to sell out every home game since May 2003, a feat that is unmatched in sports. It is important that we, THE NATION, stand together because even though our team is no longer feared like it used to be, it is our turn to give back and rally them. In times of rebuilding, it is not impossible to hoist the World Series trophy at the end of the year, but that takes extra effort from the fan base. If the boys trot out there on a warm June evening and they see empty seats, scattered red and blue seats all around, rebuilding becomes simply rebuilding. My Sox are still my pick to win it all because they got me. No they may not know my name, no they may not know what I look like, but I'll fill a seat and I'll watch every game. A rebuilding year is a rebuilding year if you make it one. My job is to keep supplying the beer and fried chicken so my Sox can become elite again.

Florida Loves Their Panthers, huh?
Uhh, wrong logo there hun. Okay, so the Florida Panthers aren't the greatest franchise in the NHL. No they are not a powerhouse, in fact they are far from it. However, this was a team that put together a fairly impressive season this year, claimed the 3 seed in the Eastern Conference and currently have a 2-1 series lead on a very good Devils squad. However, I don't know what it is but the folks down in FLA just don't seem to just catch on to their sports teams at all and this picture just proves it. The news team didn't even know if they were talking about their pro hockey team, or their Florida International University Panthers. It's just comical and sad at the same time. The lack of support spans across the state. The Jacksonville Jaguars are on the verge of moving potentially where they basically blackout every home game, the Rays only get cow-bell crazy fans during the playoffs and when somebody goes to a Miami Marlins game, it turns into more of a social gathering as opposed to people cheering on the home team. It's sad. The Panthers may play in Sunrise, Florida sort of in the middle of nowhere but c'mon folks...
Seinfeldism of the Day: We've All Been Here
Whether your in DC or New York or just looking for a seat anywhere, it really is one of the most humiliating feelings. Walking around all awkward because you are looking for that seat that isn't next to anybody and is the perfect distance from everyone. Then you realize the place is all filled up and your face turns all red and you start sweating a little bit. You feel like everybody is looking at you and you feel like a huge distraction. Happens in lecture halls all the time. Just act like Kramer. Go ham.
Honestly Is 16-0 A Possibility? Yeah It Is.
There really isn't one difficult game on this schedule. Aside from maybe the Raven game in Baltimore, I really think that's the only tough game on the schedule. Everybody is hyping up the Bronco game but Manning is with a new squad, they are going to experience some growing pains. It helps that we get Denver so early in the season. Maybe if the game was later in the season it'd be a little different but Manning just won't beat us in week 5. It also helps that we are playing the NFC West and that we get the Jaguars late in the season. What up 16-0?
This Why Raffi Torres Will Always Be the Biggest Scumbag in the NHL
I said it last year in the Stanley Cup when he was with the Canucks that he was a piece of work. He's a headhunter and a hothead and he just sidelined one the game's biggest stars for the rest of the playoffs. What does he not understand about not being able to leave your feet when hitting someone? That Canuck scumminess is still very much tattooed on him.

Ranking My Top Five Celebrity Crushes
People always seem to rip me for my taste in girls but all I simply say is that I like a real woman, not a stick. I like a girl who has a little meat on the old bones if you know what I mean. For lack of a better word, I like women who are a little supple. Well, I've decided I'm going to give you the top five women I would marry in 5 seconds if they came knocking on my door. If this crazy thing ever happened and I still have hopes it will, one of these lucky women will get to marry the kid.
5.Christina Hendricks
I mean this is without a doubt a sleeper pick. I mean she's in Mad Men and she's unreal. Kind of like the underdog in this countdown. She climbed up the ranks as I've slowly gotten into watching Mad Men. I really know nothing about her but she's phenomenal looking.
4. Snooki
Now, I mention that I think Snooki is pretty and the whole world jumps down my throat. People think that the word "pretty" can't be used in the same sentence as Snooki but I got news for you all, you're dead wrong. The Snookster here has the goods. She's got what it takes to bring home the bacon. Not only can she bring home the bacon, but she can fry it in the pan. Now I know she's pregnant and I know she's getting married to whoever, but a man can still dream right?
3. Katy Perry
Now I better not hear any arguments with this one. Perry is wicked cute. Her music is absolutely dumb and makes no sense to me but when it comes to the looks department, I'm buying it. She just seems like a chick who likes to have a good time and is easy to chill with. Easy pick here at number 3.
2. Christina Aguilera
I don't watch The Voice but whenever I do and I see her hitting the red button and spinning her chair around I don't know, I go ape. If you don't watch The Voice, you have no idea what I'm talking about and if you do, dear Barbara.

1. Kelly Clarkson
Now I take a lot of heat for this one. People are always telling me how her weight fluctuates more than the US economy and right, I get that. But honestly, she has easily the prettiest face in the land hands down. Her eyes are green and mine are green so if that's not a sign that we are meant to be, then I don't know what is. She's got the greatest voice in the music industry and she's still on the market. If she asked me to marry her in her nice southern accent I'd be psyched to put in simply. Kelly will probably always be number 1 on this list.
Can You Say 16-0?
It's in the bag. Went 13-3 with a decent schedule last year and this coming year only 4 of our opponents had 9 wins or more in 2011. Bingo baby.
Apparently This Happened Today and I Didn't Hear it Somehow?
Probably best I didn't see this. If I walked out and saw this in the distance I probably would have absolutely bugged out. This isn't something you see everyday, never mind ever. Had no idea this was supposed to happen. Being that I'm only like 4 blocks from the Lincoln and 6 from the White House, I'm shocked I didn't see this or hear it. Well, here are the pictures.
Production Team Wants to Do a Show on Cromartie's 75 Kids and Wives
Antonio Cromartie has blocked the idea of allowing a production team to start a new show based around his 10 kids with 8 different wives in 6 different states. Is this just not the classiest man in the NFL? Apparently he just recently had another a second child, with get this the same woman! Unheard of. I love this idea of them trying to expose how horrible a man Cromartie is by trying to make this into a show. He may not be inclined to see this happen but it will give the women he's given a child to a chance to make some extra money. He pays 3,500 dollars to each woman (except one) each month which equates to $294,000 each year. His contract with the Jets is worth 30 million bones. So the women need the extra money. I say do it.
So with all these kids who are 3 years old, he was basically 'cheating' on his women like crazy.

Nothing Like a Nice Wet Willy
Sportsmanship at its finest right here. Delonte West just continues to shock the NBA world with the stupid stuff that he does. Nice to see that the city of Washington, DC (where he grew up) teaches individuals about maturity. It certainly wasn't on display last night at the Verizon Center either.

Just Our Secretary of State Raging in Colombia
I kind of like this. Nice to know that when I'm out this summer just killin it as usual, Hilary Clinton is doing the same thing. Love when I see high powered figures having a good time. They are people just like us and nobody doesn't like throwing back a nice brewski after a hard day of work. Party hard Hilary!
Washington Again Proving Why They Haven't Had a Sports Title Since 1992
If you want to poke the bear that is Tim Thomas, then go right ahead Washington do it. However, let me be the first to warn you that it will result in a 4-1 series loss without question. You literally are going to awake a sleeping giant. So if they all want to wear Obama masks in the stands and think it'll affect Tim Thomas at all then let them have their fun. They can drink their Yuengling, be drunk off of 2 of them and have their fun. I mean I just feel bad for this city. Their sticking up for the federal government essentially after Thomas shunned it but it is the same government that refuses to give DC any sort of rights or representation. Sounds pretty hypocritical to me don't you think? So yeah, rock the Obama masks at least it gives this wretched sports town a reason to cheer I guess.
How'd poking the bear work out for our good friend Roberto Luongo here?
Seinfeldism of the Day: Don't Smoke
I've always said that smoking just turns people ugly. Like when you see a really attractive girl smoking it absolutely just kills me inside. There's no reason for it. A girl could be as gorgeous as anything, but the minute she picks up the cigarette, I write her off. Just awful.
And Then They Responded...
Moral of the story here is that the Canucks are down 3-0 to the Kings in the series and these guys will be forgotten about in a few days. Just had to let them know how I felt about their attitude.

Another Canucks Playoff Video...Absolute Jokes
Killed this song for me. Nothing can kill a song faster than a bunch of Canuck fans singing to its melody. Just trashed all over this song. Now when I hear it i'll be thinking of that horrifically ugly logo and those horrid colors. This video gives me so much joy at the same time however simply because they are down 2-0 in their series with the Kings right now. President's Trophy my ace...looks like you guys are falling short again this year. Could you also have a more depressed fan base. This has to be the least motivating video for the playoffs that has ever been made. Usually it is supposed to hype people up but instead this just keeps bringing them back to their defeat last year. This honestly puts me to sleep. And they really take a nice low blow at Luongo. I mean he is atrocious but he's your netminder you knuckleheads. Can you invite me to the riots this time?
BTW- What is the kid's deal at the 3:30 mark? Busted my ear drums.
Here's a bright idea: let's gather 100,000 plus people into an area and let them get hammered and watch game 7. Nothing bad can come out that right? Just don't get it.
Decided I also let them know how I feel about it too...

How Fast Does Timmy Thomas Get Off the Ice Here?
World record possibly? Love it though. Just put it behind you and move on. Said the Bruins would win in 5. Prediction still in tact but I didn't think the Bs would drop one at home.
Carl Hagelin Sends Off Text to Alfredsson, Still Gets Suspended
Clearly this was no heart-felt apology to Daniel Alfredsson at all. This 'sorry' text message was simply a way to try and prevent himself from getting suspended but in the end, Hagelin got bagged for 3-games. His season essentially could be over if the Senators manage to take the next 3 games. Is it going to happen? Probably not however I'd love to see it. Sportsmanship aside, is this literally the softest move in hockey? Hagelin just doesn't want himself getting targeted next game when (if) he faces the Sens again. He doesn't mean the apology at all. He doesn't care that Alfredsson is a seasoned veteran. He has no respect for the game obviously by hitting the face of franchise up high. Typical John Tortorella attitude rubbing off on his players. John, you won your cup a long time ago so take the fake hard approach facade off and just coach and stop acting like a lunatic. It's rubbing off on your players.
Squirrels Again Just Making Moves
So we all remember the rally squirrel from last year's playoffs right? Well on the Cardinals new World Series championship rings they have included the little creature in the design. I told you that squirrels are without question the greatest and smartest animals that roam this planet. That squirrel knew exactly what he was doing when it came to sprinting across the batter's box in the middle of the game. He knew that by doing this he'd spark a rally and end up being put on a championship ring. You don't see any other animal making moves like these critters do you? I've been saying it all along, squirrels are my favorite animal and again they just prove to me their greatness.
For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about, here it is...

Paging Carl Crawford?
Song kind of fits my mood...
Today in Weird People and Protests at the White House
Well, today you have your Syria Protest. Actually the people were pretty friendly. They didn't seem overly hostile and weren't ranting and screaming into a megaphone on top of a soap box. The issue is a little depressing but for the most part they respected the grounds they were on and kind of kept to themselves peacefully. I give them a B as a grade. I dropped them a letter grade simply because of where they were standing. Right in the middle of the walkway there, horrifically inconvenient. Got to find a new spot next time.
