For those of us who love competition, it really doesn't
get much better than the Winter and Summer Olympics.
This is one of those rare opportunities where you not
only feel the joy of the winner, but have compassion
for the loser, even if they're not from your own
country. It's also one of those "not rare enough"
opportunities where you are left flabbergasted by the
cruelty of the pre-determined judging, as witnessed
by the entire world just the other night. You know, of
course, I'm referring to Pairs Skating competition.
The one where the Canadians skated flawlessly only to
see their olympic hope for the GOLD THAT THEY TRULY
WON be given to the Russians, who, while skating
beautifully, DID screw up a number of times on their
landings....something the Canadians did quite cleanly.
We've been privy to this type of thing before. It's
not uncommon for us to disagree with a judge's
perception of events. The problem here is that it's
such a blatant act of scummery it's actually being
investigated! Certainly, everyone who reads this is
in 100% agreement with me. Unless of course, you're
one of those people who think its appropriate to take
a payoff at the expense of someone who has trained
their entire life for this one moment!!
What are we learning now? That the French and Russian
judges had an agreement that the French would ensure a
Russian gold in pairs skating if the Russians would do
the same for the French at another Olympic game. I
could just puke!!!!!!!
Fortunately, something has come from this....other
than the fact that the world had to witness an
EXECUTION of a Canadian Dream for Gold. The IOC has
announced that there is "substantial" evidence PROVING
the judging was rigged, and that the French judge has
been dismissed. They have further decreed the
Canadians recieve the Gold they deserve. You would
think this would be good news for everyone...but
naturally the Russians are furious and consider the
decision " a huge blow to the Olympic spirit."
According to Russian Olympic Committee official Rudolf
Nezvegsky "By doing this, they (IOC) just struck a
huge blow, not only to the Olympic spirit of fair
competition but also to the whole nature of sport. It
went against any moral and ethical norms that exist in
sport where athletes, not lawyers, compete against
each other on the slopes and in the sports arenas and
not in back rooms. Mr Rogge, who has just become IOC
president, probably does not understand what he has
done for the sports movement for future Olympic Games
"
WHAT A SCUMBAG. This is not suprising coming from the
same Russians who added 3 seconds to a FINISHED
basketball game won by the Americans so their Russian
team could have one more chance to win the
game...ILLEGALLY. It is the Purveyers of Falseness,
like this loser slimeball, that wreck the dreams and
TRUE accomplishments of others, with complete
disregard for correctness or rationality.
At least, for once, we have the honor of witnessing
righteousness...which we all too rarely see.
O' "LAY"
Can there be any end to the coldhearted cruelty that
is canvasing our planet? From the Olympic treachery
to that of the financial world, as it pertains to
Enron. Olympic in its own proportions, this scandal
seems to have an endless stream of executives who made
millions while evidently knowing NOTHING about their
company. At least that's what they'd like you to
believe.
The scumbags are such wonderful specimens of Walking
Pieces of Crap! And justifiably, should be wiped off
the ass of the planet. Dingleberries one and all,
these jerks weren't content with bankrupting their own
people. It's now learned that as recently as last week
they were STILL screwing with the books and pocketing
millions to themselves...all this while the people who
slaved for years working for them are thrown even
further into debt. Certainly they had full
understanding of what their actions would do! In my
view, these people are traitors to their country and
should be treated as such.
The sad thing about this is that the one guy everyone
is blaming is turning out to be the one guy who is
really innocent of the downfall...Ken Lay. This guy
just got destroyed by Congress, and it now turns out
the guys who work for him were lying to him about
everything. Setting him up to take the fall they all
knew was coming...while trying to absolve themselves
of any wrong doing. SCUMBAGS! Not totally scum-free,
Lay 'did' encourage stock holding employees to
buy stock while he was selling his.
I'm so over people like this that I'm pushing for a
new law! One that will hopefully be embraced by all
rational thinking people. It's a simple law
really.....one called ETHICS!
We should start by teaching this in schools. I would
suggest from K-1. Maybe if we start today, by the year
2030 things will start to look up. You would hope
that with something like 9/11 these types of things
wouldn't happen....COULDN'T happen. Surely the
tragedies that mark this planet today would make
everyone, not just Americans, think about their
actions and decision making, in an effort to insure a
more rightous way of life. I can't begin to comprehend
what it must be like to have no soul. No heart. No
feeling. No compassion. No truth. And worse....No
Regret!
I thank God I'm not like that!
GLAZERS ABSOLVED!!!!
Sometimes the best you can hope for is that the people
ruining your favorite team stumble around in the
dark....much like we've been witnessing for the past
few weeks. That way, it's hard for them to see their
way clear to totally put you out of business, but
still lucky enough to where they could stumble upon
the answer. Sometimes in life that's how things work!
You just kind of happen along and then fortune
smiles...and this is a Cheshire Cat Smile...Ear to
Ear. For by now you surely know Jon Gruden is the new
Head Coach of our beloved Bucco's.
Anyone who knows anything about football knows this
guy is one of the most enthusiastic go-getters the NFL
has seen in some time. In fact, this is so clutch,
that the Glazers should be immediately absolved of all
the tomfoolery we've been witness to as of late.
Gruden is an Offensive Genius, and one of the most
inspirational coaches in all of sports. While I just
blasted the Glazers at the prospect of losing McKay,
it's kind of difficult not to be totally stoked with
excitement at the prospect of what Gruden brings to
the team!
As for what this miracle is costing the Glazers,
getting the services of Gruden is well worth it. This
could be a hiring of Landryesque proportions. We're
talking about a guy who I personally remember cooking
my chicken wings at Hooters on Hillsboro Ave! He's a
homeboy thru and thru. This is where he wants to be.
And if his past glorys are even a hint of what we have
in store....then I'm definitely READY FOR SOME
FOOTBALL!! GO BUCS!!
Till next time, take care and God bless,
Matthew
