Wow. Never before have I ever heard a celebrity or athlete come right out and say something like, “Well, you know I hate gay people.” Tim Hardaway was taking an interview from Dan Le Batard on CNN sports radio when Le Batard asked him how he would handle playing with a gay teammate. Here is his reply:

Do you believe that? Agree or disagree, you gotta be shocked with how eager he seemed to be about telling the world he’s a homophobic. See my previous article on homophobia for my thoughts on this matter. I’m sure “Timmy” would agree with me there.

This ranks up there with Rick Santorum’s comments about gays:

“If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything,”

Santorum basically blames everything on the gays. Whilst I agree with Santorum, you gotta be careful about what you say publicly. As for Hardaway, it won’t matter; he’s retired. As for Santorum, I think it bit him in the ass during the midterm elections last year. He’s no longer a Senator from PA; he’s just a gay-bashing citizen now.

I don’t normally watch the Grammy Awards. Yes, it’s true I’m a huge music fan, and a guitarist, but that’s exactly why I don’t watch the Grammy’s. Music doesn’t mean the same thing today as it did when they stopped making the music I enjoy: Rock & Roll. Take Timberlake for instance. Justin Timberlake is not a musician,  he’s fucking noise. He’s not cute. He’s not talented. He has no redeeming qualities to him whatsoever. Does that stop America from eating him up with a spoon? Hell no. He’s a hack who is over-produced, engineered, and is what the music industry wants you to like. Although “technically” the Dixie Chicks produce music, I can’t say that I’m pleased to see a single award go to the liberal, white-trash band from Texas.

If you’re recall, only a few years back, the Dixie Chicks trashed George Bush, the Whitehouse, and everything on the right side of the isle. While I always support the right to free speech, you gotta admit, there are still things you shouldn’t say, at least in a particular venue or context. The Dixie Chicks crossed the line back then, and as a result, I’ll shit on their music until the day I die. I follow plenty of left-affiliated muscians, but only until they cross the line. Take the Dave Matthews Band. He’s as liberal as it gets, but you’re not made aware of his politics unless you ask for them. He doesn’t assume all of his fans are liberals, and I appreciate that.

I guess the reason those three bitches from Dallas really won, wasn’t because they’re an outstanding act, but because the competition was really weak. Aside from RHCP (oh… Red Hot Chili Peppers), there really wasn’t anything I cared for. Consider this: The NFL, MLB, and NHL all have halls of fame. So does Basketball, but they incorporate high school and college, so the pool is too big to be considered here. To be eligible for the hall of fame in the MLB, you have to have been retired for 5 years. Then, if you’re voted in, you’re in, if not, good luck next year. If there happens to be a HOF class where nobody is worthy of entry, we’ll go a year without an induction. The same isn’t true of the “Album of the Year” Grammy Award.

Each year an “Album of the Year” is given out. This means that no matter how piss-poor the talent field is, one will be selected. This doesn’t mean that if the album wins the award, it’s worth sampling; It just means that it wasn’t as bad as all the others.

And what’s worse? The meaningless drivel of an acceptance speech (each time they won). At one point, the short little stubby piglet-looking bitch said: “To Quote the Simpsons: ‘Ha ha!’ (like Neslon Muntz)”. What the fuck was the point of that? Why would you do that? Who are you laughing at? Other musicians? If yes, then you’re an ungrateful, spiteful, nasty, bitch. If no, then you’re a fucking retard. Either way, keep your mouth shut, and let someone with even an iota of intelligence accept the award gracefully. Man, what a pig.

Ok, I’ve ranted on enough about a trio that shouldn’t mean a lizard fart to me, but I feel that because they’ve been placed on a pedastal and crowned as music royalty, I should say something.

I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves.

The Colts Post Super Bowl Celebration (2/2007)

This display by the Colts fans is disgraceful. This is the first Super Bowl championship for the Colts since 1971, which makes XLI the first win since the team moved to Indianapolis.

The Steelers Post Super Bowl Celebration (2/2006)

The Steelers brought home the win from Super Bowl XL, the first in 26 years, and this is how my fair city responded. I’m proud to be citizen of Steeler nation.

I don’t think I need to say anything else. This was an easy post.

 

*Thanks to my boss, Maria for sending me these photos.

This isn’t a story which will (nor should it) garnish much attention, but the Average White Guy doesn’t care. Here, we talk about the not-so-obvious issues, but only to support the mainstream issues. While reading the Drudge Report, I found a headline I needed to read more about: “Pelosi’s push for jet remains up in air…”. Go ahead and read it, I’ll wait…

You back? Good. So what do you think? Is this woman nuts or what? Why should she get her own jet? What makes Nancy Pelosi so special that she deserves treatment where others don’t? Why should we taxpayers let her privatize her flight schedule, just because that’s the way she wants it? How else can Pelosi abuse her power? I’m betting next week, she’ll want to have a desk in the Oval Office, or she’ll want a house built for her official title. The “Speaker of the House” house would be eggshell, and we could call it the “Eggshell House”. Maybe it won’t be as dramatic as having a new building built. Maybe she’ll just demand a teleportation device similar to those seen on Star Trek. Maybe she wants her own “Speaker of the House” Island, where the cabana boys and estate staff are completely exempt from a minimum wage increase.

Ok, all joking aside, I’m sure it sucks flying from San Francisco to Washington D.C., but so what? Private jets cost money, and someone who believes (and campaigned) that Bush is singlehandedly responsible for destroying America’s budget should willingly reject any offer of a private jet, much less whine and cry until you get one. I really keep expecting more from these adults who have been elected to office, but that’s my fault.
