Sports Review

boston_celtics.gifbruins.gifpatriots.jpgred-sox.jpg

I have not written about the local sports teams in awhile. Here is a mid year wrap up:

Red Sox: They won the world Series and I still do not care about them or their players. I wonder all the time, why people love them so much. What is the fascination.

Manny is an asshole, I cannot stand varitek, he reminds me of all those egocentric jocks I knew in high school. Way too controlling and who gives a flying fuck whether he” calls ” a good game. Hit the damn ball. Francona’s mouth is too small for his face. watch him he has a mouth that should be on a 5 year old. He peirces his lips and is always licking them. What is up with the rocking? he loooks like he should be in a straight jacket in a padded room. Wakefield, a 500 pitcher that everyone wants to roll into the hall of fame around here. Do you trust him in a big game? you better not. I have hated him for 15 years, since he would not give my kid an autograph. Is Mike Timlin still on the team? I think I saw him at my class reunion that old dried up piece of poop. Julio by the schoolyard Luogo. I love this guy. He cannot catch, cannot hit, he is another asshole, and he makes $10,000,000 a year. I love him, what balls it must take for him to look anybody in the eye. Theo is a cyber nerd. John henry should use some of his money and buy a meal for himself. The guy looks like he just won ” survivor” he looks like a refugee from some third world country.

I like Mike Lowell and all the young guys. I say they choke this year. Just a guess. I know you all love the red sox, but whatever, it is just an opinion, do not spit in my food.

Celtics:

Woo Hoo, we won. I love KG. he is the man that made it all happen. I like ray Allen too, but he is about done. Danny Ainge did a good job, but I think he just got a little lucky. he decided to blow it up, and it worked. good for him.They guy I think deserves all the credit is the owner Wyc Grocpek, he did what he had too and stayed away from the spotlight, and genuinely seems like a nice guy. I am real happy for him.He is not your typical megalomaniac asshole owner. Paul pierce is still an asshole, and always will be an asshole. he chokes under pressure. Thank God they stopped giving him the ball in the last two minutes. they got smart and finally won. if they kept giving the ball to Pierce in key situations, they would still be in the draft lottery. I like the bench, but can we get some white guys that can play? You have to have a couple of white guys so they do not get sued for discrimination or unfair labor practices, so get one that can play for Christs sakes. they will compete again next year.

Bruins:

Who gives a shit…. until they sell that team to anybody but that moron jacobs, no one will ever care, and they will never win.

Patriots:

To this day, I am not right. The world caved in on me on that February night in Arizona. If they only won and went 19-0 I would have never cared if they won again. But they did not and to this day and to my last day I am totally devastated.

if i was a 150% fan all my life, I am like 60% now. I really do not think it will ever be the same for me. I am serious. Do they have pills that will get you over this type of sports depression? The booze does not seem to be working, and I have been going deep. I think they will still do well for awhile. As long as they have Brady and Belicheck. I still hate Kraft. I hope he gets run over by a bus of buffalo Bills. What a cheap prick he is, all he cares about is him, his family and his money. He is a disingeuous jerk, that should not ever be believed.

I say they go 10-6 in 2008 and lose in the first round in San Diego

That about wraps it up, unless you want to hear about Nascar, Michigan football, Lacrosse or golf.

The penny

The penny is the poor sister of the United States monetary system.

They have outlived their usefulness. They do not look like the others. Most people do not even save them anymore, they just toss them.

The penny jar at the store is proof that no wants wants to deal with them any more. We all agree that we need to abolish the penny! So what is stopping the treasury?

I have an idea? Why don’t we just round EVERYTHING off to the nickel. Brilliant right! I am sure i am not the first to think of it.

Try to pick the right penny…………………..

 

 

 

 

I cannot believe how many people did not choose the correct one!

How much does it cost to make a penny?

The Mint estimates it will cost 1.23 cents per penny and 5.73 cents per nickel this fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. The cost of producing a penny has risen 27% in the last year, while nickel manufacturing costs have risen 19%…

The Federal Reserve, which distributes money to banks, pays face value for coins. If a coin costs less to manufacture than the face value, the Mint makes a profit. Last year, the Mint’s coin-making profit was $730 million. Mint officials estimate the added penny and nickel expenses will reduce the Mint’s profit this year by $45 million.

The most pennies cashed in by a person in a coinstar machine was by Ed Knowles of Alabama. Ed has no life obviously and he turned in 1,308,459 pennies and collected $13,084.59. I hope that Ed boght a life with his new found wealth. What a loser.

Boots vs Suits

Ok!!! for the many many woman out there that read the ” Monty Minute”

I have a question for you? If you had to choose, what type of guy do you go for?

Think about it. Oh ya John T you can chime in here too!

Do you prefer the construction guy with the boots and the tattoos. The guy that drinks hard with the dudes on Friday night and comes home to you after? he might not be the guy with pockets full of cash, or a portfolio of stocks, but he has the muscle.

Or:

Do you like the suit guy. The dude with lots of earning potential. Good looking, but no tattoos, cannot fix a thing around the house, but can pay somebody to do it. The guy that asks you what you want to do on a Friday night. He would ask you first to go to a game. unlike the boots guy who would ask you after his buddies turned him down?

Think about this one? Look back, if you had it to do all over again, you just graduated high school and you can marry the class valedictorian ( decent looking guy that will invent something big , like the cocktail cover and make it big) Or the prom king who was the quarterback on the football team? ( stud)

What do you do?

Lake house or Ocean house
