Let's Talk About Sports Baby - Volume 16

I didn't go all gung ho in my predictions over this year's Super Bowl, because I had managed to make an ass of myself all year, as it pertained to football. I was pulling for the Saints and anyone that reads my sports ramblings most likely know why. For those that don't I will spell it out like this. I can't stand the Indianapolis Mannings and as a side note I can't stand the San Diego Chargers. In a Saints victory I would have two victories in one. I would have the laughter within my heart that Manning apologists would be able to torch all of those people who cost “The Greatest Quarterback and only actual person on the Colts” his inevitable Super Bowl title, and more importantly I could grab a picture of that “washed up loser of a Quarterback that the Chargers couldn't wait to get rid of” holding HIS trophy over his head. In other words, it was Christmas in the Crow Domain tonight.

I never held any animosity towards the Saints. Of course I have called them The Ain'ts just like everyone else, but I would have been perfectly happy with saying “The Ain'ts ain't the Ain'ts any more” right along with everyone else. Hey I'm a 20 year Red Sox fan so I get the whole misery and lack there of, but as a Patriots fan I was rather perplexed as to why the Colts were so heavily favored. I heard all the reasoning along the way like, Peyton Manning, Peyton Manning, and if that isn't enough, Peyton Manning, but I also know that MY team played both of these teams this year, and lost to both, but very differently. The Colts beat the Patriots barely because of a bad coaching decision, and some would say a bad ball spot by the referees, but the Saints murdered them. I mean I had that impression in my mind, and I had to wonder why the Colts were just the “Chosen Champions” the whole way. If I were a Saints fan I would be pissed off about the whole “Super Upset” claim that all the sports casters are throwing out there. Easy for me to say huh?

Seriously though, I have seen this happen a few times as of late, and that would include what was an embarrassing end to my Patriots season a few years ago. The Giants barely lost to the Patriots to end the season and I am ashamed to admit that I bought the hype leading into that Super Bowl and for what? The game was exactly as close as it should have been and the better team won simply based on the score, but realistically it was a toss up the whole way. This game wasn't even really that to be honest with you. It had the exact same elements that a typical Saints game had, even including that spine crushing interception for a touch down. THAT was the New Orleans Saints that played. It wasn't an inspired underdog, it was the team that was the Super Bowl champion, and like any game of football that appears to have only one star on the field {Peyton Manning .. go back and read the articles leading up to the game} all you have to do is remove that one player and win?

We could analyze this further, if you want to be fair. How about that Giants – Ravens Super Bowl a while back. The Ravens blowing out the Giants was a complete shocker and moreover I still can't make that game work in my mind. Sure the Ravens defense was amazing, but so was the Giants, but with the caveat that the Giants actually had an offense. Anyone who would even insinuate that the Ravens had an offense is full of crap, regardless of that blow out. How about what most people still call the greatest upset in Super Bowl history {and it was trust me} when the Patriots shocked the Rams. I liked what a few of the Rams players said after that game when it was brought up that the Patriots wouldn't hold up in a 3 out of 5 when they honestly said “I couldn't move my arms at the end of the game. The Patriots made it so we couldn't play another game either,” but the reality was that NOBODY saw that game outcome. People could see this if they were rational, but I don't think many were rational.

In the end I think this Super Bowl was one of the best I had ever seen. It was exciting and the outcome made me happy of course. Thanks to Doritos the commercials this yer were WAY above board and although I won't make a moratorium on it, I want to thank Tim Tebow and his mother for making a very classy commercial on an issue that needs to be talked about more. I would like to thank the Who for making the halftime show pathetic, and a far better lead in to what was a very rare second half that was better than the first. Most of all though I would like to thank Roger Goodell, the frauds at CBS, and anyone else who make a big stink about Rush Limbaugh ever owning a stake in a football team. It makes loudmouths like myself that much more self righteous when we are forced to watch a half hour infomercial from a pathetic excuse for an anchor woman, and a pathetic excuse for a president speaking NOTHING BUT BULLSHIT POLITICS during the pre-game show. Even a venue like this won't bring their numbers up, and I have a feeling that I might get a happy surprise when the next round of “favorable” ratings come out for both of those clowns. Christmas Christmas Christmas! ;8o)

Superdaddyman Takes on the Pink Mafia - Volume 19

Of course there is nothing better than sitting around in the ballroom of a fancy hotel and going through a seminar on company safety, but in the city of Megalopolis, this can be a harrowing adventure in and of itself boys and girls. It was extreme deep cover for everyone's favorite super villain turned super hero, as tracking the evil doings of the dreaded Pink Mafia had officially gone prime time. The Caped Pervader was taken off his game as he was surrounded by many of the most hardened criminal thugs that make up the minor reality of the Pink Mafia under culture alone but to have to do it in unfamiliar surroundings to boot is something that requires mad skills. This can't be good when the second obstacle was placed firmly in the path of the Superdaddyman throughout. The cute little waitresses in pencil skirts carrying food.

During the brief moments of clarity that the Superdaddyman took time away from his duties {staring at the legs in black stockings as they passed hither and fro} we find our brave young {damnit!} hero being fraught with peril from a new operative from the mountain regions of PMHQ. She was trying to indoctrinate the thuggery of Pink Mafia East Coast {PMEC} toward a culture of safety that should lead them all towards a never ending Barney Song of happiness. The Superdaddyman was a bit worried in the beginning as she was extolling the virtues of everyone throughout the Pink Mafia becoming “spies” for the greater good. In the name of “safety” she actually expected the gang of thirty four to scope out their environments on a daily basis for the overall health a productivity of the work force. Of course with out much thinking {and that can be a good thing} the Caped Pervader remembered that most of these people will never become intimately related to their environment, the environment of others, or reality in general and was able to get back to the important work of examining the fair maidens of Megalopolis as they carried food around.

Heaven forbid that anyone in the Pink Mafia simply pick up their messes because it's the right thing to do? In the end like so many policies in a corporate environment {aka Criminal Empire}, you simply have to equate common decency with a safety violation so that you can fire someone for idiocy as opposed to firing someone for idiocy outright. Now a simple rule of “clean up your messes and organize your workspace or we'll fire you” has to be placed in the context of “clean up your messes and organize your workspace because OSHA says we can fire you” keeps the ACLU from showing up and defending the rights of someone to be stupid. The Superdaddyman despite being one of the super secret agents of all that is good and safe in this world always fears days when you have to pit one whacko extreme organization against another whacko extreme organization just to run a whacko extreme organization efficiently. The one thing unemployment crisis has done for Megalopolis is made it easy to threaten people to shape up or don't work.

Towards the end of the evil seminar we find our favorite super hero sitting in his group of five working hard on a project {playing Operation .. and not the good kind of Operation that involves the fair maidens in the pencil skirts} where as four people attempt to do death defying tasks {pulling plastic bones out of a game board without setting off a buzzer} and the other one is given the task to “observe” them and take notes. The Operative From The Mountains {OFM} didn't seem to like the way the Superdaddyman cut strait to the chase with his observations {they're idiots and nobody should have given them tools to begin with} and took his “observing duties” away from him. This gave him more time to set off the buzzers while the fair maidens of Megalopolis leaned over tables to get the dishes on the other side, often pulling the heels of their feet out of their shoes {God that's HOT} and muse about how observant he truly is! The complete novice that was taking “observations” during this didn't even get the reasons for his inability to extract the “charlie horse” correctly right. Had he truly been observant he would have blamed it on the redhead, and not the generic “lacks focus” crap that he used. See what the Superdaddyman has to deal with here?

After another wonderful round of training {Jenga .. and the Superdaddyman fared much better here as the fair maidens of Megolopolis had since vanished} the entire hostage situation was ended with a grade of B+ applied by the OFM. She must have watched the Presidential grading system on that one, but we are sure that there were bonus points applied since nobody actually go hurt during the endeavor. Upon being released the entire gang minus one Superdaddyman {who was the only one who had to go back to PMHQ and work .. rats} took their particular brand of evil to the hotel bar, in an attempt to do what they usually do. Get the Pink Mafia banned from ever attending another function at that particular hotel. This being a rather perplexing predicament as this is the last hotel that the Pink Mafia has yet to suffer a lifetime ban from, but then again the Superdaddyman hasn't gotten around to checking the PMHQ communique {e-mails} on the subject yet. That has probably changed since last night. ;8o)

I Ain't Mainstream and I Ain't Media - Volume 2

Well I finally cracked .. um .. accidentally found the login codes for one of my favorite porn sites, and all of the affiliated sites for it over the weekend. It's one of those ones that specializes in nylon perversion which is right up my alley, so I have been scouring all of the good movies off of it for research purposes of course. Heaven forbid, when God gives you the gift of being able to accidentally find the login algorithms for a complicated computer server, you don't take advantage of it. I believe in the full potential of mankind after all. With that said my server arrays have been downloading about 2 megabits of porn nonstop for about 4 days now, and I am a bit concerned that Comcast will send me the “unfair usage of bandwidth” warnings or just give me an outright cancellation here pretty soon. You may laugh, but it is a real problem up here in the Northeast, where Comcast has completely monopolized the high speed bandwidth market.

A few years back there was a huge scuffle over whether Verizon was going to be allowed to sell their wire lines to Fairpoint Communications, and Comcast was heading that whole political scuffle. Wholly bought subsidiaries of Comcast {Democrats like Arlen Specter} shoved their noses in the whole thing, and it was all because they were accusing Fairpoint of creating a monopoly. The laugh riot of the whole thing is that Verizon like Comcast was already a monopoly, and now the Verizon monopoly simply changed it's name to Fairpoint, and it is the same old bad business going on around here. How does this effect me? Well I have exactly 1 choice for high speed internet, and exactly 1 choice for cable television. I pay what they tell me to, and I have no recourse in any way shape or form. Surely I could swap my television to a satellite dish assuming that I didn't live in the woods and I could plug that old 56k modem in and rock & roll like the turtles in the Comcast commercials, but I have no options. It is of course all about me.

Now with this said, Verizon was working on it's “FIOS” networks around here when the sell off to Fairpoint was going down. They had DSL lines, and the other services that could at least give you another option to the Comcast Goliath that whacks you down with a whopping 60$ a month for internet. Fairpoint moved in and it all ended. Calling them will get you the standard answer of “We have no plans to offer Fiber Optic or DSL in New Hampshire at all” and they aren't kidding. Comcast of course uses this as a club to beat you down at all levels. You get poor service, with high rates, and threats to be cut off if you use the “unlimited” internet too “unlimitedly” and they are extremely mean about it. This is probably different for people in areas that have other companies they can go through, but not here. Oh of course there is the phone line and the antenna on your roof.

Now of course if I get really angry I can cancel the phone service through Comcast but then I would be rewarding the bad behavior of Fairpoint. They infuriate me with their attitude towards my state since they went on that huge campaign bragging about all of the great things they would do for us when they got “up and running” which was a pile of lies. Your friends in Washington DC are constantly whining about how unfair the whole phone and cable monopolies are, and how they are going to tax the shit out of it all to make it better. Other than the long distance break up back in the 80's they haven't done anything other than steal more money from me along side these monopolies. Now they are talking about “Net Neutrality” like it is some dogma fiction that will make everything fair and free. All it's going to do is take people kinda like myself that are frustrated, but with a whole lot of ignorance mixed in with it, and give us a Chinese style internet with 75 Czars regulating what you can and can not look at. You can see why I think this whole government enforced monopoly system is merely a means to a communist end, as almost every Progressive idea coming out of Washington {more frequently now} has been since John McCain's hero Teddy Roosevelt gobbled up huge quantities of land “for the greater good” and forced unions on the heart of American economy. Although at the time unions were a good idea you'll note that “the Heart of American economy” from those days doesn't really exist in America anymore.

In the end I see this whole monopoly of how you get your information in certain regions of the country completely falling apart and choking off those areas from stupidity of the real reasons for it. While the government enforces these monopolies, they do it with the caveat that later on YOU won't even understand that they did it to you when they cancel the monopolies in favor of government sponsored and monitored monopolies {as opposed to the capitalist sponsored and government mandated monopolies we have now} and that type of clamor is more suited for 1917 Russia than it is for 2010 America, or is it? Those that do not learn history are doomed to repeat it! Our healthcare system started falling apart {well the financial sector of it, the technology sector is still the envy of the world} when by fiat Bill Clinton mandated the HMO system and killed off the traditional catastrophic medical system we were all used to be the Blue's and the Crosses. Now we have an uneducated populous that blames the system and not the dictators. A little history people, before we lose the ability to even discuss these things, which is certainly the end game. ;8o)
