- The Texans are bad. Like...BAD. Except it doesn't make any sense. The defense is still very good. I don't like Case Keenum and I was probably 1 of 10 people not calling for Kubiak's head for the Schaub switch. I think in desperate situations where the inexperienced player isn't getting it done, YOU HAVEEEE to go to experience. Also our offensive line kills me. I notice them every play. I shouldn't. Stop it.
- Peyton Manning is a freak of nature. I mean that. Like...who seriously thought he would come back from that neck surgery? And now look at him.
- I laughed at the Patriots fans upset about the call (well, no call) at the end of the game last week. Do you not remember the blatant holding that wasn't called to win over New Orleans? I do. Karma.
- I'm listening to "Monster" (Eminem ft Rihanna...incredible song.) He just mentioned Russel Wilson. You've made it.
- Oklahoma State plays Baylor this week. I could not be more hyped about it if I tried. If it's not orange, I haven't worn it this week.
- Also, I'm going to be cheering very loud for the LSU Tigers this weekend. GEAUXXXX. Bet on Mett? I am.
- Speaking of, how does AJ McCarron not get more Heisman hype. Dude's about to win his 3rd Natty.
- And the prospect of Florida State and Alabama playing for the title has me 9 kinds of excited. That could be a great game.
- On the Winston rape charges: I'm one that believes that allegations made by a woman should always be taken serious. I air on the side of caution in this and I'm well aware his DNA has been linked. But I read in part of the police report she originally estimated him to be between 5'9-5'11. Maybe it's because I'm on the taller end of the spectrum in that range that I don't get it, but how are you so far off. Dude is 6'4.
- Hockey is beautiful. And a mess. (If you have twitter I highly recommend following Roberto Luongo. Guy is hysterical.) The Avs look good (didn't see that one coming.) The Oilers don't look good. (How do you have that many number 1 picks and still struggle?)
- If I had to vote today Josh Harding would get the Masterton (Trophy for perservation, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey) and the Vezina (Top Goalie). He has looked truly phenomenal this season. You probably wouldn't even believe me if I told you last November he announced the world that he was diagnosed with MS. Tough as Hards is my new motto.
- The Sabres are awful. It's so disheartening sometimes. You have Ryan Miller making 42 saves behind you and you still lose 4-1. They did a major shake up at the top, but I'm still waiting them to truly just gut their payroll and rebuild. It's time for it. Stop just saying it.
- The Rockets look good! This season seems exciting. I'm not even going to pretend like I've been paying that close of attention to basketball season. For starters the CSN deal is a freaking KILLER. Can't watch any games! Also, f**k you, Les Alexander. I don't know that there's a pro team owner that I dislike more. Which is saying something because Bud Adams, may he rest in peace, MOVED a football team from my hometown to TENNESSEE.
- I really, really, dislike Les Alexander.
Like ALOT.
I've commented on fans before and I need to take the time and patience to sit down and type out my thoughts. It's just hard cause it's personal for me.
I have some really amazingly talented friends.
Most of them make me twice as proud off of the field/ice/court as the do on it.
And it doesn't bother me when people say they suck. I just laugh. They sucked their way to this level and tricked every scout and higher up amongst organizations along the way. There's a reason you're not in the position and you watch from a chair and I guarantee that 99% of the people making these comments couldn't perform at this level or they would be.
What kills me is when people chop their character or their work ethic.
Unless a player has PERSONALLY done something to offend you, stop. STOP.
I can tell you I have NEVER had a player be rude to me when I approached them as a fan. But I also don't do it if they're eating, or if they're with their kids.
Also, STOPPP insulting their work ethic. I have personally heard someone in the stands call somebody I knew a "lazy bum."
This person works hard than anyone I know. He is constantly trying to improve himself.
I've also heard fans talk about a player be a "crybaby" and not coming back out to join the team after being pulled.
Those fans had no idea that said player was playing with an unannounced/undisclosed injury and didn't come back out immediately because they were receiving treatment from a trainer in an effort to get them ready for the next game.
I have watched friends go to practices sick, get IV fluids before, practice their ass off, get fluids after, and lay in bed the rest of the day.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT GOES ON HALF THE TIME. Be upset about their play on the field, yes. But please, for the love of all sanity, stop insulting their character.
Continue with the "you suck" chants all ya want. Sometimes this girl needs a laugh. (Saying a player is not playing well at the moment makes you sound much more informed that declaring they overall suck. As a personal disclaimer: there is one player I would yell a "you suck" at. I have yet to figure out how he has a job...)
