And this is how it ends

This picture basically sums up how everyone outside of NE feels about Deflategate.

Brady will sit for 4 games.  Legacy tarnished.

Pats will go 2-2.

And after that, there is only one thing left to do....

Win the whole damn thing.

And pray for the Browns which will be Brady's first game back.

GO PATS!!!!

Schilling....please stay off of social media

So as expected, ESPN finally axed Curt for his trans-phobic Facebook meme/response.

And of course the morning guys at EEI held a candle light vigil and decried what is happening to the First Amendment and it's scary and blah, blah, blah.

First off, these are the guys that mocked Don Orsillo when he got fired for no reason but are up in arms about Curt.

I don't know if it's because he's a friend of the show or what but these guys just will go to bat for him no matter what.

I mean it's pretty simple.  You work for a company that leans left.  For fuck sakes it's Disney.  They told him to cut the shit on social media.  He didn't.  He got terminated.  Want to work for a company that leans right- go ahead -free to do so if they will hire you.

What am I missing here?  He's free to post whatever he wants- just everything has a consequence.  Now he played dumb (not hard for him) on EEI about it but he clearly knew what he was doing.  I would never advocate for anyone getting fired but I can't fathom why I would feel the least bit bad for him.

Also, this is a guy who hunted down twitter trolls who said vile shit about his daughter, outted them, contacted their employers and got them fired.  Had no problem with accepting praise on EEI about that.

Should the twitter trolls say that stuff?  Nope.

Were they dangerous?  Nope.  Just complete losers and Curt attacked them and made their pathetic lives more miserable.

Look- bottom line is this.  I'll always admire Curt for the bloody sock.  Amazing performance.  And at his heart I think he is a good guy that does a lot of work for charities.

But he is very, very, very, very, very, very dumb.

From 38 Studios (thanks for the extra tax bill!), to evolution, to memes, and everything else- he's just a stupid guy who could throw fast and pampered his whole life. 

Stick to baseball and charities.

Cue Clips Callahan- "freedom...."  Nothing in life is free.  Just stay the fuck off social media.  Who gives a shit?

He's up at 1 am dropping mother jokes on people.  I legit think he has a problem.  I mean, I can't imagine telling my wife, after blowing through my personal fortune (maybe) that I got fired from my lucrative job because I couldn't stop posting on Facebook/Twitter because it's my right.

So go to Fox 1, analyze baseball, continue with the charity work and cancer PSAs but maybe just keep your opinion to yourself.

I'm offended as well...

So apparently the new thing that college kids are upset about is that Zoolander 2 was being shown and it makes fun of people and they cried and asked for their safe space and....

I have a lot to say about the status of college kids, protests and the downfall of society.  Which I will address.

But right now I am in agreement with these cry babies.

Zoolander 2 is offensive.

Movie sucks, sucks, sucks, sucks.

Obvious money grab.

The first one is so, so good.  Top 5 all time good.

This is a disgrace and shouldn't be shown to college students or anyone else ever again.

Now to my safe space...

More like the Hunky Bunch am I right?

So the Boston Marathon finished up yesterday and Marky Mark was at the finish line filming his movie Patriots' Day.

Jake Gylenthall was at Fenway throwing out the first pitch with Jeff Bauman at Fenway for his movie.

All seems...just a little off.

I guess if you are going to make the movies you have to.  But lots of people are going to make top dollar off a tragedy which again...seems off.

My hope is that Marky Mark donates a big chunk and so do the films but no bad publicity and they won't do anything is my guess.

Weird.  I have no desire to see either film and probably won't.

I'll keep my money thanks....

I'm back and I have big, big, big plans

Hello.

Since nobody reads this nobody has missed me so I don't expect a welcome back.

Took my wife to dinner and she indicated she liked my writing so from time to time I will hop back on here I've decided.

The title of this post is that I have big plans.  And I do.

First plan is to acquire $300,000.00 (Plan not finalized).

Next plan is to build a moat around my house.

A real, actual, legal, self-sustaining, self-cleaning moat.

What happened to moats?  Seems like such a good idea?  Allows you control on who comes in or more importantly who stays out (teenage boys in a few years for example).

I think we can trace society's downfall to the lack of moats.  I intend to fix this.

I'm debating whether crocodiles or piranhas will be used to fill the moat but I guess I can just flip a coin.

Obviously, it won't be hippos as Hippos are Dangerous.....

Bunch of hacks.

So the magazine that sympathizes with terrorists got brought out to the woodshed on their false campus rape story.

Systematic failure everywhere.

Nobody will lose their jobs apparently.  Which I don't give a shit about.  I mean- if you want to read this crap that's on you.  The National Enquirer has more credibility.

What I don't get is why the left isn't more upset at the person who made up the story or the magazine?  Haven't they made it harder for actual rape victims to report?

All I get is excuses and criticisms and the right is happy now because of this.  Really makes no sense to me.  You'd think they'd boycott or want charges pressed against this person but apparently not.

I just don't get it.


I hope the magazine gets sued to the Stone Age.  F them.

Opening Day!

 

 

And it's supposed to snow this week.  Enough is enough.

Hero

 

 

This is the officer who was shot in the face by a felon when he was being pulled over.  Video is being released later this week.

 

 

The felon, was also in a car with other criminals, as the ankle bracelet on one of them alerted the police.

 

 

The man is a former war hero and saved Dic Donahue's life in the Marathon Bombing.

 

Hero.

 

 

Which why the protestors sicken me.  Screaming at the police.  A Harvard Student called the Commissioner  the n-word.  No word from Harvard.  Oklahoma will expel a frat for it- Harvard ok.

 

And immediately after the shooting, because this is the world we live in, the police showed black leaders the video showing what happened.

 

 

And still yelling and protests.

 

 

Just sad.

 

 

If he makes a full recovery, what a tough son of a bitch.

Indiana.....

 

 

Quick thought on all the stuff happening in Indiana.

 

 

First off....this law is in 20 other states and at the federal level.  So let's not attack this state alone.  Don't like it?  Abolish it all.

 

 

I for one have no idea why someone would care if someone else is gay or not.  Makes no sense to me.  But do you really want a government to tell business owners they have to do something if they don't believe in it?  That's a slippery slope.

 

 

Like this pizzeria.  Jesus Christ. Said they would serve gay people but wouldn't cater a gay wedding and people went nuts.

 

 

Who cares what these hicks think?  And they won't cater a wedding?  Oh well- go somewhere else.  Their loss.  Now they are getting threats and $100K in donations.  Strange world.

 

 

Bottom line.  Don't allow bigotry but don't force someone to do something they don't want to do for any reason.  Done.

 

 

Only good Indiana is Indiana Jones....

What is this world coming to....

 

 

So I occasionally peruse Gawker and Jezebel because I like to see how the other half thinks.  Usually I just ignore it but there was an article up there that really bothered me.

 

Apparently a rugby team from a college was shut down because 8 members at a party sang a rugby song.

 

 

And a feminist went to the party, which she wasn't invited and usually wouldn't go, to tape it and report it.

 

 

Ok then.

 

 

First things first.  I've sang many, many, many rugby songs.  Very, very, very, very offensive language.  Can't stress that enough.

 

There's been girls there as well.  Most of the time.  In fact the girls rugby team was much more offensive than us and usually out drank us as well.

 

 

So here's the thing- if you were so offended- just leave.  That's all.  Say this isn't for me and go to a different party.

 

If you were scared because you thought that these people who had no interaction with you were going to do these things to you than that's on you.  You are an idiot.

 

 

If you lobby a complaint against the team, and they approach you in a public place, offer their hand and say they'd like to discuss the issues with you either accept or don't.  But then don't lobby another complaint saying they made you uncomfortable.  Grow up.

 

 

I weep for the youth of America.

 

 

And I'd have no issues with my daughters singing/playing rugby songs.  None.

MBTA....

 

 

So the commute in Boston in 2015 has been a nightmare.  The MBTA has failed time and time again.

 

 

I know people are sick of me bitching about it but it really does have an impact on your life.  First off, I leave earlier and get home later.  The trains are PACKED.  The death march after you get off at South Station is unbearable.

 

 

This is all because it snowed in January and February.  That's what people can't understand from real cities with real transit.  Like- it's not snowing now so why the delays?  Or more importantly, why is this happening until the end of fucking March???!!!

 

 

Incompetence.  Corruption.

 

 

The sequence of events is amazing and defines Massachusetts.  Turns out the GM they hired racked up 8 grand in expenses before she started.  It's probably important to note here that the MBTA is 8 billion dollars in debt.  You read that right.

 

 

So storms come and they have to shut down service for a couple days in January.  Since that time- they are on a "recovery" schedule and can't get back up.

 

 

The GM quit.  Claims she wants to spend more time with her granddaughter after raking in 220K in taxpayer funds.

 

 

Special board set up to determine what the hell is going on.  Head of the board misses first day...as he is chilling in Jamaica.  Then has to resign.  Little tax problem.  About hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes.

 

So to summarize....they hired someone to figure out why the debt ridden agency can't get it's trains to show up who didn't show up and is a tax cheat.

 

 

Another day at the MBTA.

 

 

What a disaster.  That's why I laugh whenever anyone says Boston can support the Olympics.  No it can't.

 

 

So how to fix it?  Easy.  Long....but easy.

 

 

1). Pensions are done.  It's killing the taxpayers and the agency.  If you are in the system now....congrats.  You can retire at 41.  Any new hires- no pension.

 

2).  Put the T in receivership.  Obviously they can't find a GM that can handle the situation.  Get someone (NOT FROM MASSACHUSETTS) to run it.  Cut the fat.  Get a budget.  Figure out how to pay the debt.

 

3). Fuck Keolonis.  That is the company that supplies the trains.  Get someone else- may cost more but have to do it for the long run.

 

 

Overall, this problem will take DECADES to fix.  The short term solution is going to be more taxes of course because that's all this state does.  But if they don't know how to spend the money you could give them billions and they'd fuck it up.  During all this they gave their top executives raises!

 

 

So the long and short of it is....fuck the MBTA.

Parade in danger....

 

 

Been a while digging myself out of the snow.

 

 

With more on the way, and ten foot snow banks, it looks like Southie may not be able to host the parade this year without help from the state.

 

 

Don't want the kids puking in the snow banks.

 

 

Anyhow, I have no issue whatsoever about the state giving extra funds to help Southie.  On one condition.  Very minor and shouldn't be an issue.

 

 

Gays can march.

 

 

That's all.

 

 

So you either drop your exclusion and allow gay people to march or good luck with the snow banks.

Done with snow

 

 

Another two hours of shoveling this morning after being out there all day yesterday.

 

No more.  Please.

 

I give up.  And more snow tomorrow. 

 

 

Awesome.

Do your job.

 

 

Welp, the Patriots are champions again.

 

Another SB victory, another parade, another controversy.

 

 

But I got to tell you.  Deep down I didn't think they would do it.  That game took years off my life.

 

 

Now we just need one for the thumb....

So....

 

 

Record snowfall amounts.

 

Going to surpass Blizzard of 78.

 

 

Terrible to see what global warming has done.  Just terrible.

Deflategate is....

 

Stupid. Stupid.  Stupid.

 

 

Bad look for the Pats.

 

 

Ultimately meaningless.

 

 

We are on to the Superbowl.
