Mangini Airliner

I am no Hets fan, nor rumswab. I have no reason to side with Mangini in this case, but I find this firing stupefying.

Mangini didn't throw 2 td's and 9! ints in the last handful of games...this was Favre. It wasn't Mangini who let Chad Pennington go without ensuring he couldn't come back to hurt you. Trading him for even a 7th round pick would have let the Jets management ensure he went to a team in the NFC, or at least a different division than yer own.

Mangini did not do everything right, but he was the smaller part of the problem...and his firing by the GM shows how bad the GM himself did...especially when he wants Favre back and his 9 int's apparently.

You might be a douchebag if...

...you buy ANY Apple product at ANY store other than the Apple store.

Buying ANY Apple product at Best Buy, etc is disgraceful and just pathetic. Not to mention Apple should be ashamed of themselves for whoring themselves out as such.

I love Batman, but...

...after the last movie "The Dark Knight" and it's sensational delivery...this is some terrible, terrible news.

Eddie Murphy has been signed on to play the "Riddler" in the next installment?!?!?!...Uh...this is what they call a WTF moment!!

Eddie Murphy hasn't done a single funny thing for at least 2 decades!!! "Beverly Hill Cop" was his top moment.

This is TERRIBLE news. AWFUL. He's gonna pull a Jim Carey and WAY overplay his hand here. Carey went too far over the top, and Clooney sucked as Batman (tho not nearly as badly as Kilmer).

Clearly, Bale will have to make this movie. BLECH!

Barkley is spot-on

Charles Barkley, the former NBA star and often big-mouth who speaks his mind on topics ranging far and wide, has nailed this issue dead-on.

Auburn and the NCAA is a completely racist organization, the numbers just tell the story.

Barkley has accused his alma-mater Auburn of hiring their new football coach simply because he's white over the choice of an African American.

By the numbers, there are nearly 120 Division 1 college football programs across the USA. There are a whopping total of 4 African American coaches. Quotas, according to the Supreme Court of the United States of America, are illegal, but it doesn't take a brainiac to see something doesn't smell right.

And what stinks up the joint is a glut of old, white, rich, men in the power structure of college football (especially in the South where college football is THE sport) who are preventing African Americans from getting a fair shake at a head coaching job.

These are the very same asshats who refuse to allow the BCS to go away and put in the normal playoff system.

All of Boston waits...

...for this man:

The Bettman Stars'

He's known to be a nasty, stocky, short, player full of vitriol and one who plays his ass off. His primarily role is to piss people off when playing and get them off their game.

His name: Sean Avery, of the NHL.

His crime: Being a general asshat, pain in the ass.

But, it's really not a crime. There are things called "role players" and Avery has been playing his "role" in the NHL for years, and doing it successfully mind you.

In July 2008, the Dallas Stars hired Avery, signing him to a lucrative long-term deal (4 years, $15.5 million). Avery broke into the NHL in 1999, and by now his rep had been well-established.

13 days ago, he made the following comments before playing a game: "I am going to say one thing. I am really happy to be back in Calgary. I love Canada. I just want to comment on how, it has become a common thing in the NHL for guys to fall in love with my sloppy seconds. I do not know what that is about, but enjoy the game."

For just SAYING these words, Avery was suspended and the Dallas Stars are looking to sever their deal with Avery.

Here's the thing: Avery is who he is. He's never changed. The Stars and Brett Hull were stupid to have signed him to such a long-term deal. Avery doesn't deserve any of the crap he has dealt with here. Avery might be an asshole, but he's still an American asshole that has every right to speak his mind.

With the NHL suspending him for uttering "sloppy seconds" is pathetic and sad. Get a grip commissioner Bettman. You have bigger fish to fry, like figuring out how your league is going to survive when the salary cap is going to be shrinking sometime soon. Grow up Bettman.

The Non-Drunk, Drunk Driver?

Interesting story from Sweden where a lady was pulled over, given a breathalyzer test and she failed. The rub? She hadn't drunk alcohol for 5 years!

The po-lice think it was her windshield-washer fluid....odd!

Da Coppers & Entrapment

One of the longest-running and most awful shows on television has been the show "COPS."

Since the show premiered on March 11, 1989, I have watched a whopping 30-40 mins of this "show."

I find this show to be dreadful and I think it shows what asshats cops generally are. I have contempt for the practices often featured in the bits of the show I have seen.

I am all for entrapment when it comes to big time crime like murder, fraud, etc...but I have seen cops use the standard of probable cause as a total joke and pull people over for no serious reason.

The ends do not justify the means in these cases. Most of the cases I find annoying involve drugs and/or prostitution. This could be because I believe we should legalize prostitution and at least decriminalize most drugs.

This story from Reason Magazine shows what asshats vice cops are: A former cop bought two small xmas trees and grew them inside a rented house utilizing lights often/usually used to grow marijuana. What do you know, the cops forged an affidavit, used illegal technology as defined by the Supreme Court to detect those types of lights from outside the house, and proceeded to bust into the house only to find two xmas trees growing and NOT some marijuana plants. WHOOPS!!!

This kind of cop "work" is bullshit and it's exactly the type of shit we should NOT be wasting our time on in a time when the world is exposed to terrorists. Everyday hundreds, if not thousands, of shipping containers get shipped into US ports and are not inspected because some knucklehead cop is getting his jollies off busting people who do some weed.
