Michigan football program is not improving

About seven weeks ago I posted a blog that stated Michigan "was back"...I was wrong...I have no problem admitting when I am wrong and this is one of those times...

I am a loyal Michigan supporter, but the fact is, the Michigan football program has shown no improvement over last year's 3-9 debacle...I attended the Michigan-Penn State game and was totally disheartened by the poor defense and lack of offense...then after watching their performance against a 1-6 Illinois team who was 0-5 in the Big Ten, I am starting to wonder if Rich Rodriguez is the right man to lead the once proud and winning Michigan football program...

As of today, October 31, 2009, the Michigan football program is just an average program...Michigan athletic director Bill Martin and president Mary Sue Coleman need to monitor this situation closely...look at what happened to Nebraska...the Cornhusker administration stayed loyal to Bill Callahan and now the Huskers are just a 6-6 or 7-5 team - at that...through today, Michigan is not even at that level...

In this game against Illinois, Michigan's Ray Roundtree failed to score on a 70 plus yard reception as he got caught on the 1-yard-line...why was Roundtree caught?...for two years I have been drinking the Kool-Aid of Michigan strength coach Mike Barwis...Barwis talks about speed, speed, speed...then why did Roundtree get caught?...

Michigan then had it first and goal on the 1-yard line and could not score on four attempts...once again, where is Barwis and his strength program?...Barwis is nothing but a blowhard...he talks a good game, but since he has been in charge, I have seen nothing different in the players strength and speed than when Lloyd Carr was in charge...Barwis is nothing but a fast talking workout warrior who fooled the Michigan fans for the last 20 months...

As for Rodriguez, for two years I have heard about this potent spread offense...if the spread is a high scoring offense, why did Michigan score only 10 points last week and 13 this week against a 1 win team?...in Carr's last game, Michigan beat Florida who was led by Tim Tebow...since that game, the Michigan football program has plummeted faster than the economy did over that same time period...if Michigan played Florida today, the Wolverines would be crushed...

Michigan is sitting at 5 wins...and in reality, it is 4 wins because one of those victories came against a hapless I-AA Delaware State game...through 9 games, I don't see any improvement from this year's team than I did, through 9 games, of last year's team...I see a team that is struggling to score points and stop points...

Rodriguez has 3 games left - Purdue, at Wisconsin and Ohio State...if he does not beat Purdue next week, Michigan will not make a bowl game for the second straight year...after their performance over the last two weeks, there is no way Michigan is going to win at Madison...and there is no way they are going to beat Ohio State...so basically, Rodriguez's last shot to get in a bowl game will be next week...

The fact is, the Michigan football program is getting worse as the season wears on instead of getting better...that is why the Michigan administration needs to make a decision after the season...these next three weeks may determine Rodriguez's future in Ann Arbor...

Halloween Pumpkin Carving: Gateway to Mass Murder

By Roode

Kids love Halloween. It's the one time of year they can get free candy that doesn't involve creepy old men in bathrobes. Adults love it, because it's the one time of they year that dressing up like Tyra Banks isn't exclusively for drag queens.

Remember when Jamie Fox was funny? Of course you don't.

I don't dress up. I don't trick or treat. I don't have kids so I'm not forced to pretend I give a shit. This may surprise some of you, but I'm not a happy go lucky holiday celebrating person. I wouldn't put up that fucking Christmas tree if I didn't get a guilt trip from the wife each and every "have to buy new strings of lights because the ones from last Christmas never fucking work" year. I suggested we just forgo the tree one year. It was like I proposed we put on cleats and go kitten stomping.

My bags are always packed for the latest guilt trip provided by The Wife Travel Agency.

Last weekend I hung out with Ren. I was bored and sober. I knew that belligerent Irish drunk had booze. I had wifey in tow for a low key Saturday evening. Adel was out of town making plans for her wedding (that's right kids- more on that another time) and who the hell knows what Tresckow was doing. Maybe storming Poland?

Tank rental is surprising affordable.

I was quite happy to sit there, watch TV, and suck down Guinness. The hens were yapping in another room and Commando was on TV. Awesome! Beer, violence, and HDTV. I defy you to come up with a better combination. Defy you, I say!

Somewhere around the part when Schwarzenegger is slaughtering the island army lead by Nick Tortelli Ren had the most horrible idea since CNN's coverage of the Michael Jackson funeral. "Hey! Let's make Jack O'Lanterns." Bitch.


Sure, I protested. You married guys out there know resistance is futile. Over the years my "Fuck it! Whatever!" switch developed a hair trigger. I learned about three years into married bliss that it's the path of least resistance that gets you laid. So, when someone has a fucktarded idea like this and the wife is into it, fuck it. I'm as powerless as Valtrex is on Tila Tequila.

This fucker is pretty much always set to "on."

I knew I was in for a rocket ship to a ball taggingly painful night when it took the girls 30 minutes to find the right pumpkins. It was the like the Goldilocks of pumpkin searching. This one is too small. This one has too many bumps. This one has a funny looking stem... damn it! At this point I didn't give a shit if the son-of-a-bitch was oozing blood while demonic voices chanted an ode to Satan. Why the fuck can't women find ANYTHING in under half an hour? Holy yeti piss, the fucker's going to end up a rotting corpse on the stoop anyway.

Pictured: Good investment.

After buying four medium sized pumpkins (four, because the odds of fucking up are excellent when you've been drinking since 3) we carted the orange bastards back to the house. First off, let me say it's completely fucking ridiculous the amount of goddamn work you have to put in just to cut the top off. Then, there's a shitload of stringy, gag reflex slapping innards that have to be scooped out. This shit looks, feels, and acts wrong. Not only does it feel like goopy, stringy shit from a camel with diarrhea, it's nye impossible to keep it in one place. If you're lucky, it just falls on the floor like so much spaghetti of the damned. If you're not so lucky, it can find its way into your pants. Don't fucking give me that look. It happens.

Look at this putrid, stringy mess and tell me you don't want to blow chunks.

It's not over yet. Oh no, there's more labor intensive bullshit waiting to play ping pong with your dangly parts. Now you have to scrape the meat of the friggin thing. There's nothing remotely appealing about that phrase. Scrape the meat? That conjures up all sorts of fucked up Donner Party images.

Delish.

Hold on! Before you start scraping chunks of pumpkin meat, you need to know two things; 1) No kitchen utensil in the known world is built for this and 2) if you take too much out the whole fucking thing will collapse. Who knew this was a science?

I don't know, Bill. Maybe there is no cure for Jack O'Lantern carving rage.

Of course, my wife is a friggin genius with this shit. She's the artsy crafty one. I'm the one that gets pissed off and dynamites random things in nature. Ren, the dumbass that came up with the idea, redefined suck. She bought one of those stencils that is supposed to help you carve designs. That fucker was too complicated for a drunken Mick. It didn't end well.

After giving up on ever stenciling this thing right, she decided to carve the fucker with a hammer.

Well, that gourd was out of commission. Mine, on the other hand, was still in the race. Sure, it frustrated me a little...

The fucker had it coming.

This sucks! Who started this butt fucking tradition anyway? Liquored up, pissed off people shouldn't be asked to hack the almighty shit out of produce. That's how Bundy got started.

Bundy.

After another (4) beer, I went back to the taunting, round poop stain. OK, I just stabbed it a few times. It's fixable. I'll just get to work cutting out the nose and smile. This shit has to be getting me brownie points with the wife, right? RIGHT? Besides, I know I can do better than Ren's second attempt.

I've never seen a Jack O'Lantern with Downs Syndrome before.

I decided, then and there, that I would not be defeated by a piece of fruit... or vegetable... whatever. With each slip of the knife and fucked up tooth, I started to fantasize about setting fire to all it's smug ass brethren. All of a sudden I understood punkin chunkin. Its not a bunch of drooling momma's boys who smell like a mix of body odor and Red Bull (not exclusively, anyway). It was mankind's way of getting back at those sack lickers.

This may have cost more money and time than any sane person would invest,
but, it must be therapeutic to see that mother launched into the air and disintegrate on impact.

When the dust settled, there were three Jack O'Lanterns. Mine looked like it was married to Ike Turner. Ren's did an amazing Sling Blade impersonation. My wife's... that's not important. Shut up!

One of these days she's going to fuck SOMETHING up and I'll be there to see it.

If the night wasn't rage inducing enough, this Jack O'Cock Knocker saved the best for last. As soon as I picked it up to carry outside the asshole started to cave in. Remember that whole don't scrape too much of the meat off thing? Well, guess what? I didn't fucking pay attention to that at all. The face started collapsing faster than Michael Jackson's cosmetic surgery (yes, two MJ references in one article. I'm not proud).

Stick a candle in his skull and it's the spitting image of my imploding Jack O'Lantern.

It was over. The damn thing didn't even stay together long enough for me to make it out the door. I snapped. To quote a great philosopher, "That's all I can stands and I can't stands no more!"

Wise beyond his years.

I bellowed "Fuck you gourd!" OK, so it was a bit loud and I'm pretty sure someone called the cops, but I didn't give a shit. This sadistic orange fuck has toyed with me for too long! I let it drop to the ground and I nailed the mocking tea bagger in the mouth. That's right, pumpkins everywhere can eat me. It's on now. Every assclown pumpkin I find will die. I hereby declare my plan for pumpkin cleansing! Pumpkins, watch your backs (wherever the fuck your "backs" are). It's war now!

He was, but the first to fall!

Sincerely,
Roode

Living in America

The biggest story in the news today here in America is the 'scandal' of one of our finest NFL stars having committed an unforgivable sin.


Larry Johnson

Larry Johnson, star running back for the Kansas City Chiefs, is in deep trouble with the bitches who run the National Femmeball League. He's been suspended from playing for the next 2 weeks, which is as big a blow to the Kansas City Chiefs as it is to Larry himself because they desperately need him. There is talk the NFL wants to suspend him permanently.

So what did Larry do? Did he allegedly spread herpes to some random woman in Miami? No, that's old news.

Did he rape someone? No.

Beat his girlfriend? No.

Kick a clown? Punch a child? Piss on a portrait of Obama?

No, no, no.

Larry said "fag."

Yep, that's it. That's what he did. And now it's all over the news and supposedly a huge scandal. This big, mean, evil, dark-skinned athlete has 'victimized' anyone in America who considers themself to be a 'fag' by using a word that gay guys use to describe each other all the time.

Keep in mind, Larry didn't say "I hate all gay people. They are fags." He wasn't even talking to any gay people, as far as anyone knows. He wasn't even actually talking about gay people. He was expressing intense frustration at the way the Kansas City Chiefs football team is being run and coached. He was making it clear that he did not wish to talk to reporters.

But here in the land of Political Correctness, facts don't matter. All that matters is that he has sinned against the Church of Pride and Corruption and must be punished.

Of course, if he had said "honkies" or "crackers" or "fucking white people" then there would be no scandal. The NFL would surround him with cheerleaders and protest anyone who criticized by declaring that he has a First Amendment right to spew hatred of white people. Just not gays, lesbians, women, blacks, Jews, hispanics, Democrats, muslims, labor unions, atheists, or the current half-black, bastard President.



American C$ar
Meanwhile, Barack Obama's unelected, unaccountable, Marxist "pay czar" has ruled that our greatest minds in finance and banking must not be paid in accordance with their skills, but instead must be punished for being so rich. This is how communists treat the intelligentsia - they destroy them. And along with them, all productivity and progress. This is why they refer to themselves as "progressives." It all makes sense in Opposite World. And this is deemed to be not news.



American Prince$$
The Communist Party's "health care bill" is certainly news. Its intention of destroying the free market system that has been responsible for the vast majority of advances in medicine over the past 50 years has been made clear and clearly written in, but we mustn't stop long enough to think or even read it. No, we must simply sign it and leap over the cliff before anyone has a chance to ask any questions. This is 'leadership'. This is Marxism. Yay! Oh, and more taxes for all of us because this new cheaper alternative costs a shitload more than the old free-market system.



Crazy Lisa Nowak
NASA is preparing a new rocket to take Americans back to the moon. True, we've already been there, but after 40 years of affirmative action we've found it rather difficult to get back. The biggest obstacle now, aside from the fact that most of the government funding has been sidetracked to feminist organizations and labor unions, is the battle over whether the first astronaut to step onto the moon's surface and make a scripted politically correct remark will be black, female, gay, or all three. No white males need apply for this job.



2 Jewish men were shot in the legs and abdomen by a black man while outside their synagogue in LA. It appears the man was aiming for their groins, like the police do, but missed. Since the shooter isn't a white male he won't be charged with a hate crime. It's just too confusing to try to sort out which privileged group is the more privileged when no one involved is a white male.



I've been sick with some sort of stomach virus all week. Sitting at home flipping channels and sleeping a lot is not my idea of a good time, but it's the time I'm having. Not even Facebook or Twitter can take away the boredom. Actually, I've spent little time on either while sitting at home with nothing to do. Odd, isn't it? I wonder what that means?

I have a female friend who is confusing the hell out of me. About a year ago she asked me to stop associating with a male friend of hers with whom she had had a falling out. She made it clear that should I wish to continue associating with him, she would no longer speak to me or have anything to do with me. Well, I cared far more about her than I did him. I only knew him through her, after all, so I agreed. Now I discover that for the past 3 months they have been friendly again. Nothing has been said to me. I am still prohibited from speaking to him, as far as I am aware.


Here is a quote from a genuine American leader from long ago. I know that at least half of America won't fully understand the meaning behind this, but I am going to put it out there anyway:

"If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed and given medical care. The only thing lacking ... is freedom."
Dwight Eisenhower, 34th U.S. President

Cavaliers "buying" a championship?

I live in N.E. Ohio, and as a fan of the New York Yankees, I have always had to listen to the Cleveland fans cry and whine how the Yankees "bought" their championships even though they somehow had amnesia when the Indians "bought" Roberto Alomar, Chuck Finley, Juan Gonzalez, Orel Hershiser, Jack McDowell, etc...but that is for another day...

Anyway, what do the Cleveland fans have to say about their suddenly beloved Cavaliers...during the off-season the Cavaliers went out and acquired one of the biggest names to ever play in the NBA - Shaq - in order to try and win the NBA Championship...personally I do not have a problem with a team acquiring quality talent to try and win a championship...that is good for the fan base when an owner is committed to winning...

My only comment to the Cleveland sports fan - the next time you are ready to open your mouth and complain about the Yankees "buying" their titles, you better look at your own backyard because it looks like the Cavaliers are trying to "buy" a championship too...

The Boss will be in the house tonight

From the Associated Press:

NEW YORK -- Once he was omnipresent at Yankee Stadium, micromanaging so much that World Series tickets could not be sent out until he revised the seating charts in his office. He raged at his players and celebrated them with equal gusto.

Now George Steinbrenner is 79 and frail. Still the owner but no longer the leader of his beloved Yankees, he saw just three regular-season games this season.

But he's coming back to New York just for the Series, and the Yankees can't wait.

"We're trying to do this for pops, Mr. Steinbrenner," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.

George Steinbrenner was missing from the bubbly fueled celebration in the well-appointed clubhouse of the new Yankee Stadium on Sunday night, after the Yankees captured their first American League pennant in six years. He preferred to watch from home in Tampa, Fla.

But he was very much talked about.

His deeds were praised. Toasts were made in his honor.

"It means a tremendous amount to him," son Hank Steinbrenner said Monday. "And then winning the World Series would mean a tremendous amount to him."

Billions of dollars were spent to assemble baseball's priciest collection of talent, and they came from Steinbrenner's bank accounts. After erecting the fanciest ballpark ever seen, at a cost of $1.5 billion, it could even be said that he laid the very foundation for the franchise's latest restoration.

Yet he's been more an absence than a presence at the new stadium, visiting from Florida only for Opening Day, a 10-2 loss to Cleveland. The other games he saw were in Tampa.

He speaks haltingly in public and walks with difficultly following the second of two fainting spells that required hospitalization in December 2003 and October 2006. When he's seen, most often during spring training, he appears withdrawn.

His trademark attire used to be a turtleneck and navy blazer; now it's dark glasses. George Steinbrenner largely has been silenced, at least for Yankees fans.

He's said to easily get emotional in recent years, a wave of sentimentality he fought to suppress during his younger days. Hank Steinbrenner said his father has singled out Mariano Rivera and Alex Rodriguez for special praise.

"This has taken him back 10 years, this team," Hank said. "It's very important to him. It's very special."

Heading a group that bought the team in 1973, Steinbrenner became famous on the back and front pages of New York's tabloids as "The Boss."

He fought with manager Billy Martin and lavished love and money on Reggie Jackson as the Yankees captured two World Series titles in the 1970s. His relationship with the 1990s teams was more tranquil, although losing streaks usually would bring back the old venom. He was a clubhouse presence into 2006, but by the time he attended the 2008 All-Star Game at old Yankee Stadium, he was in a golf cart to deliver the balls for the ceremonial first pitches.

He didn't even go to the final game at the old place, wasn't there to hear Derek Jeter implore fans to "take the memories from this stadium, add it to the new memories that come with the new Yankee Stadium, and continue to pass them on from generation to generation."

And he wasn't there for the most important initial memories from the new ballpark, missing all 15 walk-off wins during the regular season and skipping the playoffs against Minnesota and Los Angeles.

"We want to win this whole thing. We're one step away. We want to do it for my dad." said son Hal Steinbrenner, who was doused by Jeter in the clubhouse. "I know we all feel the same."

Hal Steinbrenner succeeded George as the controlling head last November, becoming the spokesman for the ownership group. Hal hasn't veered far from his father's feared standards, although he delivers them without the lava flood.

"We expect to win the championship. Every year," he said. "It's not going to change."

Steve Phillips: another horned dog from ESPN

Another ESPN personality got the can...this time it was baseball analyst Steve Phillips...Phillips had a nice gig going as he was the third man in the booth with Jon Miller and Joe Morgan on Sunday Night Baseball...

But he could not keep his pants up as he was banging a 22-year-old named Brooke Hundley in parking lots (photo above of them) ...the funny thing, back in June I was following her on Twitter...she usually had something interesting to say about ESPN...

Now that Phillips lost his job, he entered a "treatment facility"...what type of treatment facility???...is it an alcohol or drug facility?...the only other facility is a mental hospital...is there such thing as an over-sexed facility?...

Come on, tell us what facility!!!!..

Oh well, here is what was reported on ESPN.com:

Baseball analyst Steve Phillips was fired by ESPN on Sunday night less than a week after the former Mets general manager admitted having an affair with a production assistant at the cable network.

A representative for Phillips also announced the former Mets general manager was entering a treatment facility "to address his personal issues."

Phillips acknowledged Wednesday he had a relationship with 22-year-old Brooke Hundley.

"Steve Phillips is no longer working for ESPN," network spokesman Josh Krulewitz said in a statement. "His ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways."

Phillips had taken a leave of absence after the affair became public. Krulewitz declined comment when asked Sunday night about Hundley's status with the company.

The Memories....

Megan Fox is beginning her promotional tour in Europe for Jennifer’s Body

Jesus. Has anyone told this girl, “Before you answer a question, just stop and think about the words you are about to say. Just think about what it sounds like.” Because this sounds like Megan wants to teach little girls how to act sexy. No, thanks, Megan. You’re not Miley Cyrus! Besides that, I think the reason Megan thinks “sexiness” is power is because that’s all she’s got. Just FYI, to all young girls out there - intelligence, education, self-respect, grace, humor, talent, compassion and humility are also pretty powerful weapons in the arsenal of modern womanhood too.

In this interview, Megan loses the graciousness she had at the Scream Awards, and instead snots out this gem: “This is a bull—- industry and I made a decision not to be a bull—- person. I need to hold onto my soul and my integrity and I can’t compromise that.” Right. Because whenever I hear the word “integrity”, Megan’s face always floats up.

Earlier this year, her comments to a magazine journalist that Michael Bay, who directed her in the two Transformers movies, is “like Hitler” on his sets prompted an angry response from three crew members who called her “dumb as a rock”, before going on to dismiss her as “thankless, classless, graceless [and] unfriendly”.

Fox shrugs off the criticism, when I meet her in Toronto – where her new movie, the demonic-possession horror-comedy Jennifer’s Body is getting its world premiere. “I’ve definitely said some things that I shouldn’t say,” she admits. “I sometimes forget how things will translate once they are in print. But this is a bull—- industry and I made a decision not to be a bull—- person. I need to hold onto my soul and my integrity and I can’t compromise that.”

“It was a difficult movie to make because I was under a lot of pressure to do Diablo’s script justice,” says Fox, “so I was nervous about that. I was always questioning myself and trying to bring some real elements to Jennifer. I wanted people to feel empathy for her; I wanted her to be a real person, and not a caricature, like some of the characters I may have played in the past.”

Asked what she makes of the “Sexiest Woman in the World” label, Fox laughs. “I don’t take any notice of those polls. I take it with a grain of salt. I think that because I was in a movie [Transformers] that made $800 million, they threw me on the top of the list.” But what about her remark to Esquire that “I’m just really confident sexually and I think that sort of oozes out of my pores?”

She sighs. “Sometimes I say things that I think are obviously sarcastic and people take them quite literally. In America we’re still very uptight about sexuality: it’s considered scandalous for women to be sexual or speak about sex in a humorous way,” she says.

“For some reason it makes people very uncomfortable, possibly because our society is still very tied to archaic biblical principles that we try to force on each other and force on our children. It’s very unfortunate because men are embraced for their sexual prowess and women discouraged from it.”

“In Europe, women are celebrated for their sexuality and appreciated for it. There you can still be both sexy and intelligent. Go figure.”

While another actress might bemoan the fact that being named the sexiest woman alive would hinder her goal of becoming “A Serious Actress”, Fox says: “I didn’t decide I’m going to be an actress because I want to be respected for how I play chess. I don’t think men approach me for intellectual conversation. I’m definitely labelled in the pin-up category and I haven’t given people a reason to take my work seriously yet.”

In the past, Fox has been outspoken about being bisexual and having had an affair with a stripper while in her teens. But, for the past five years, she has been in a monogamous relationship with actor Brian Austin Green, who is 13 years her senior.

When discussing Green, Fox suddenly, unexpectedly, begins to cry; then she dabs her eyes with a tissue, smiles and apologises. “Man, I just get emotional,” she says. You don’t come across a lot of genuine people in this industry and I feel blessed to have someone who will stick around through my bull—-”
