I'm a big sports fan and there aren't many other things in this world that I enjoy more than going to a live sports event. The atmosphere can be electric and you get to be apart of something the the television audience misses out on at home. Unfortunately with the good there can sometimes be bad. Loud mouthed, hot air blowing idiots who carry on the entire game with comments distracting those around them from the in game action.
I was at a hockey game last evening where the home team won 3 - 1. I along with my friend we in the upper bowl of the arena with what some would say are "real fans". In our section alone I counted at least 25-30 younger children, ranging in age from maybe as young as 8 to as old as 13 or 14. In the first period there was this large gentleman sitting almost directly behind me who seemed to have a comment for everything. One player would touch the puck he'd have a comment, the referee would blow the whistle, he'd have a comment. At one point he dropped a number of rather crass words, too harsh for publication on this blog...fuck is mild compared to some of the words this ass was using. Immediately to my friends right was a young boy, no more than 7 or 8 years old and this neanderthal is just spewing garbage out of his mouth in front of this child. My friend just leaned over to the young fan and said, "Don't listen to him.". In the second period he had moved a little further down the aisle, but was no less aggressive with his words. Finally in the third period another fan had heard enough from this over sized whoopee cushion and they exchanged some words, which again distracts the rest of those in the area away from the one ice action.
I'm all for going to a live sports event, enjoying a beverage or two and cheering your home team, or jeering the opposing team. Sometimes though, there are people who just seem to think they are the only one in the entire venue and that everything coming out of their mouth is as funny as they think it is. This social reject seemed like he was only there to get drunk, it was apparent he was not a fan of the home team, nor was he a fan of the visiting team, he was just there to drink and annoy those around him. If you want my opinion, that's an expensive night if you are simply going to listen to your own verbal diarrhea, you could have easily stayed at home, grabbed a two-four and screamed your obscene vocabulary at your what I assume would be an over sized tv, to make you feel better about your obesity issue and small penis!
Dear Annoying Ass Face,
Your Zellers sweater and Giant Tiger dress shirt didn't hide, but exemplified that you are a complete douche! Perhaps you could afford better quality clothing if you didn't spend all your money on expensive sports tickets and booze just so you can put on your idea of a comedy show. You annoyed not only me, but on several occasions distracted a very young fan from the game with your profane language.
Go crawl in a hole, take a shit, eat it, then maybe your mouth would be cleaner for it! Next time you're at a game, look around you, take note of any young children and then maybe use your judgment and just leave before you ruin someone else night PRICK!!!!

17 Years and Nothing
Pardon my patriotism for a moment as I go all Canadian on ya!
Yesterday was the seventeenth anniversary of the Toronto Blue Jays winning their second consecutive World Series, seventeen years since "Touch 'em all Joe, You'll never hit a bigger one..". Seventeen years ago yesterday and what do we have to show since then???? Seventeen years and only five Canadian teams have made it to a championship final, (only 4, all from the NHL if you don't count NLL as a real professional sport). Granted there are not a lot of Canadian teams in major sports our only championship comes from Montreal, which doesn't really count because they don't want to be apart of Canada anyways...plus I hate the Montreal Canadians...
Dear Carey Price....thank you for helping the Canadian Junior team win gold...but it wasn't you it was Johnathan Toews....fuck you Price!
Moving on...one of my biggest beefs is with Canada's largest city. Toronto. Toronto has a team in every major sport other than the NFL and we have, in seventeen years only been able to manage 3 Grey Cups (CFL), 5 Champions Cup (NLL), 0 World Series Titles, 0 Stanley Cups, 0 NBA Championships, 0 MLS Cups. Seventeen years and nothing!!! In seventeen years you would think that the largest city in Canada could produce something.
As a fan of Canadian sport it's difficult year in and year out, season start to season end to watch as our home grown teams get beat out by American teams filled with our home grown talent (mostly in the NHL). It's lucky we have the Olympics every two years and that as a nation we can come together for those two and a half weeks every two years, because for the two long years in between the summer and winter Olympics this nation and it's cities don't give sports fans a lot to cheer about!

Don't Be Stupid...Be a Fan Not a Douche!!!!
Here we go again. Another incident between a professional sports player and a fan. Now you can say that Rick Rypien is the "professional" and he should have let things be, but I don't agree with that. You want to talk smack, you want to get in the grill of a guy double your size, expect consequences. You wouldn't walk down the street and call out some large man on his looks, or the way he chooses to dress without expecting a confrontation.
I acknowledge that it is part of sport to heckle and get in the head of the other team, but leave it up to the professionals to start face to face encounters. In my opinion, that Minnesota fan got what he had coming. He's actually lucky that Rypien didn't give him a souvenir of their encounter.
Let's look back at other fan/player skirmishes shall we? How about that night at the Palace with Ron Artest and the Detroit fans. You chuck a beer at a player, already involved in a heated exchange on the court and you don't expect him to retaliate on you ass? That guy got what he deserved.
How about the penalty box incident with the Philadelphia Flyers fan and Toronto's Tie Domi. Domi started it, but he finished it too! That guy got what he deserved.
Professional sports try to make the game as fan friendly and involved as possible, but then you get these incidents which affect all sports fans. Because some idiot from Minnesota runs his mouth and get's pushed around a little, that might now influence the view of the next fan sitting in that seat (if the Wild organization decide to install a partition).
This fan walks away from that game with a story to tell, 15 minutes of fame and with no physical damage. Rick Rypien gets 6 games and a bad name. That fan did NOT get what he deserved.
Dear Minnesota Fan,
You are a coward and a disgrace to Minnesota hockey...not that I agree Minnesota should have gotten a new team ahead of Quebec or Winnipeg....but whatever Gary Betmans the biggest Douche in professional sports...but that is another rant...back to you, you coward. Man up, back up your words and try keeping your mouth shut when a man twice your size walks by, because 10 out of 10 times you are going to get your ass kicked you DOUCHE!!!!!

Those Damn Yankees
Dear New York Yankees,
Give it up. Both you and your fans. You are clearly out matched by a younger, faster, more powerful Texas Rangers team. I have had just about enough of seeing you in the playoffs. Half your team should retire and start managing in the minors! From top to bottom your team is full of doucebags. Let me start with A.J. Burnett.
Dear. A.J. Burnett...fuck you.
I was glad to see the Yankees walk the batter in front on Molina last night, only for Rock Star Burnett to serve up a juicy pitch that Molina ripped to left. Molina played for your team, you know he can hit home runs!!! It's almost as if the Yankees feel like they don't have to try, that for some unknown reason believe they just deserve to be in the playoffs and make it to the World Series year in, year out.
The Yankees are the center of the baseball universe and I think it's time that a new team emerge. There are plenty of great ball clubs, amazing ball parks and crazy ass fans outside of New York. What about Pittsburgh? PNC is a stellar ballpark in which all other ballparks should be envious of. The ball club, not so good, but they sell beer super cheep at this bar across the street!
Back to the Yankees....their slugger Mark Teixeira went down and is done for the season...so this I say to you Mr. Teixeira.
Dear Mark Teixeira....you look like your mother drank when she was pregnant with you...fuck off.
And a big New York F U to the Yankees!

Bret Favre and his Penis
In the wake of all of these athletes with their scandals and cheating ways it starts to get to be a little much. Now I want everyone to take a moment to see if from the perspective of the athlete. If I'm Bret Favre one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, the IRONMAN of football I would think that pretty girls would like to see my junk too! I can see where he gets this delusion that the women of this world would want to enjoy images of his Farve Unleashed. With this being said, Bret you are as old as God, at this point the only person who wants to see your junk is Betty White. The only person who sees my junk is my wife and she doesn't always want to see it! Perhaps you should reevaluate your career, have a look at yourself in the mirror...with your pants on (just a thought) and focus on what you do best (or at least to do best) football. Your team is 2-3 and don't show any signs of improving. You have a bum elbow and you refuse to take a week off and you are tossing interceptions as frequently as you were sending wiener pics to that intern.
Bret Favre! Retire already! Then you can spend all your free time sex-ting all the girls you'd like.

A Whole Lot Coming At You at Once.
Welcome to my first post.
If you have read "about me", you understand that this is not a serious sports blog, it's a method of releasing some aggression, chatting sports, expressing my opinions (right or wrong), but most of all making your laugh...or at least trying to!
Below are a few examples, a taste test if you will of what's to come. Hopefully you like what you read, if you don't, at first don't write it off, maybe come back in a few days and try again.
And away we go......
Dear Nick Foligno,
You have an asshole face. If I ever say you on the street I would beat you until you realize you are a terrible hockey player!!!! You suck!
Dear Mike Fisher,
I got stuck with you on my fantasy hockey team and not by choice. You stunk the first 3 games of the season, so I dropped your ass. That night you go out and pick up 3 points. You're a doucebag!!!
P.s. Your wife is hot!
Dear Roy Hallady,
Where's my no hitter? For 11 years in Toronto we made you feel like the greatest man on earth. You leave for Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love and you throw two in one year!! This means one of two things, you like brothers more than the beautiful women of Canada, or you are on steroids. I hope your arm falls off from leprosy.
Dear Tiger Woods,
Good for you. Next time try not to get caught. Now get out there and win some golf tournaments!
