 It can be understated that Deion has already done some great things at Colorado, whether it be pulling in be recruits, utilizing the transfer portal to the fullest extent or literally tripling the Buffaloes win total of 1 from last season. Does Coach Prime rub people the wrong way? For sure but he's been rubbing people the wrong way his entire career, that's what he does. Hand up I was one of the people rooting hard against Deion, was actually pretty stoked when he got annihilated by Oregon. The sports media and normal media alike has been cramming Colorado and Coach Prime down our throats since Deion came to Colorado, it was a lot. The fact is Colorado isn't there yet, they have a long way to go to be considered a top 10 team. Look at the facts, they beat a grossly overrated TCU team who lost 20 starters, a rebuilding Nebraska team and had to come from behind and take Colorado State to over time. I guess my point since they started was, let's not crown them yet. Deion is doing incredible things and will continue to do incredible things but they are no where near the upper level of College Football just yet, so if we can pull it back a bit, enjoy watching them, it'll be fun. Shadeur is an absolute stud, Travis Hunter is a dog and he'll pull in some solid recruits just by being Prime.
Now on the flipside let's not glorify every loss that they have like they're nothing. Colorado has made close to $100 million in revenue already, you read that correctly $100....million. Last year they were 1-11, they won 1 game against a bad Cal team and 10 out of their 11 loses they lost by more than 20 points. The fanbase will be happy with a fuckin 5-7 team this year, they're currently 3-2 and coming off a loss to USC where they came back in the second half and nearly pulled out the dub. They still have a lot of tough games left so we'll see how the rest of the year turns out. Let's not glorify every loss, let's not suck Coach Prime off after every win. Colorado isn't Georgia, Alabama, Oregon, Texas, Notre Dame they're not even close. Will they be one day? I can't say, I'm genuinely not smart but I can tell you this, if they win a National Title before Notre Dame I will lay down in the middle of the highway.

 First off let me get this out of the way real quickly, I do not dislike Megan Rapinoe due to her sexual preference or political affiliation, I don't care about any of that shit. Love who you love and vote for whoever you want, they all suck anyways. Yes, Rapinoe was one of the best US women's players ever but she is so absolutely insufferable. She's just purely annoying, yeah I said it she's one of the most annoying athletes I've ever seen. Whether it be her lame dancing wherever she is, her lame suits and stupid sunglasses she always wears, also? I believe she may secretly be kind of a dick. Equally pay for women was a solid thing I could get behind, mainly because the USA men's team has been so dreadful for so long but her constantly coming out and continually talking shit about the USA(no matter who the president was) was just so annoying. She always on her god damn soap box about this thing or that thing, Jesus I feel like all we've seen in the last year as far as women's soccer goes is her and I was for one thrilled to see her retire.
Let's go back to her HORRENDOUS missed PK in the world cup then she smiles afterwards. Let's be real, she didn't give a shitttt. She was just terrible during the entire tournament, she shouldn't even have made the team. Can you imagine some little girl watching the game thinking "she's nailing this PK" then she screams one 10 feet over the bar and crushes that little girls hopes? That was she is a dream crusher. Right after they won the World Cup she was asked about attending the White House and her response was "I'm not going to the fucking White House, we won't be invited". Yeah I'll be the first to say it, I don't like Trump never have never will, think he's kind of a chode. I know you can say "But but but Patttt they asked her a question", I know but she doesn't have to be such a dipshit about it and it always someone comes back to Trump, he's been gone for 3 years can we just fucking let it go now? For fucks sake she's been talking about this guy when he got in and the 3 years since. Let's not forget when she kneeled for the national anthem, I get it I get it....but can you imagine this movement when it started? Someone sitting here fighting for equality thinking "man I hope some random white women's soccer player kneels to support us". It was the most "look at me moment I've ever seen", no one really gave a shit about her then she thrusted herself into the spotlight by "Standing up to injustice". CMONNNNN she doesn't give a shit about injustice, she never did....Megan Rapinoe cares about Megan Rapinoe. Then there was this moment.....Jesus Christ did this moment piss me off. I believe it was 2 years ago at the ESPY's, she sitting with her wife Sue Bird, when a young kid....maybe 10-12 years old? Comes up for an autograph. Think of it like this? Can you imagine sitting there thinking you've been sitting there waiting to meet her, waiting for her to sign this soccer ball and the girl signs it, doesn't even speak to you, doesn't make eye contact with you, shoos you away when she's done. If this was any other athlete they would be DESTROYED for this, Imagine if Patrick Mahomes or Lebron did this? Holy shit ESPN would have a field day calling them terrible people and asking what their problem was. But because for some reason Megan Rapinoe is put on such a pedestal, no one gave a shit. She was such an absolute dick here and through all the other times I've mentioned.  Let me start off by saying a lot of this is my fault, I could be a normal human being a just watch sports for fun but that's not how I'm wired. Even now as a father I'm way to invested with how my teams perform, to the point where if my team loses? My day is completely ruined. I'm 36 years old soon to be 37 in a couple of months and I have yet to see a championship in my life time(I don't count the Bulls from the 90's because everyone was a Bulls fan and when Cuse won the natty in 2003 it sucked because everyone around me is a fucking Cuse fan). For Christ sake Cubs fans and Red Sox fans have even seen a World Series title and they didn't win a title for about 300 years. I sometimes sit and think to myself, is it me god? Or did I just pick bad teams? Maybe in my past life I did such terrible things that this is my penance that I have to pay? I don't know but I would like to analyze my heartache. First let's start with the fact I'm a Notre Dame football fan or as I like to call them the Buffalo Bill of college football. For the past 10-12 years we've been good not great. Just a constant swinging door of average. They are the team who beats the teams they're supposed to beat and they never beat the teams they shouldn't. I started with Notre Dame because they are the team that has broken my heart most recently with a metaphorical kick in my nads with the loss to Ohio State. The fact that they out played the Buckeyes, ran for nearly 200 yards dominant defensively then we play bitch ball at the end of the game on offense and let up a touchdown with 4 seconds left. I've seen this team go to one National Title game and get their shit absolutely pushed in by Alabama. They've been to two College Football Playoffs and again.....got their shit pushed in by Alabama(again) and Clemson. Sure you wanna say we beat Clemson when they were #1....Trevor Lawrence had COVID and didn't play....oh yeah then when Lawrence played us in the ACC title game? Lawrence absolutely DESTROYED us. Sure that was Brian Kelly's thing, could never win a big game....shit he's still doing that at LSU. This year should be the best chance that the Irish could get that Natty Title chance, there is not one team above and beyond in college football this year, the loss to OSU knocked us down but not out.....if they run the table? There is still a shot at the CFP SADNESS RATING: Kind of like finding out my parents weren't really my parents but I was adopted 6 out of 10 On to the Carolina Panthers....idk man this team just blows. Now first let me say Super Bowl 37? That was amazing, we were right there....right fucking there. Jake Delhomme played his absolute balls off, out dueled Tom Brady the entire game, I do not care what any one says it's the truth, Carolina's front 4 on defense was unreal, the running game with Davis and Foster was top notch and Smith and Muhammad at wideout were one of the best receiving duo's in the NFL. Then John Kasay kicks the kickoff out of bounds....the Pats march down the field and Adam Vinatieri kicked another fucking game wining field goal and ripped my heart out again. Then there were the next years....they were bad.....real bad. BUT WAIT! WAIT! WE GOT CAM NEWTON! Cam came in won and MVP 3 straight division titles and it was time it was our fucking time. Super Bowl 50, 2015 Carolina went 15-1, completely dominate in the NFC playoffs capping it with an absolute ass kicking of Arizona, just beating the SHIT out of the Cardinals 49-15....absolutely untouchable it was our year. NOPE! Super bowl comes, just an incredibly hideous game, Cam played like garbage, Peyton didn't win the game the Panthers lost it. The offense was fucking horrible and the defense couldn't make stops when they needed. Let's not forget about Came making a "business decision" and not jumping on a fumbled ball basically calling it quits. Then Jerry Richardson made a comment about some girls jeans, he sold the team to David Tepper and he completely drove it into the ground. He hired Matt Rhule who was at best a joke, now we have Frank Reich who's something like 3-17 in his last 20 games, we traded a shit ton to get Bryce Young to be our QB which he might be good but the team around him is just terribly offensive. It's going to get way worse before it gets any kind of better in Carolina, hopefully Tepper says something about someone's jeans and he has to sell the team. SADNESS RATING: It's kind of like going out to a fancy restaurant then when he pull the cover off of your plate instead of food its just a big pile of shit and for dessert the waiter comes out and puts a lit cigarette out on your face 8/10 Now we come to the Buffalo Sabres....I've seen 1 Stanley Cup appearance in 20 plus years of watching this team, we've had some pretty solid times and some absolutely awful times. It has been 12 years and counting since the Buffalo Sabres have made the playoffs and let's be honest for 11 of those 12 years it's been real fucking bad. The last time we made the playoffs was 2011, we were the #7 seed and we played the Flyers the #2 seed in standard Buffalo fashion we took a 3-2 lead, lost game 6 in OT then got beat 5-2 in game 7 and it wasn't close they scored 5 goals, Ryan Miller got mercy pulled and that was it.....the Sabres as I knew them were done. They were all gone sooner rather than later....Miller, Vanek, Soupy, Roy....all of them gone. Miller got traded in 2014 to St Louis and we haven't had a real goalie in the near decade since he left. In the 12 years since we made the playoffs we've had 7 coaches including Ralph Krueger who I still say is the literal worst NHL coach in the history of man, I don't think people understand how far back Krueger set the Sabres back. I mean fuck we've been so bad, I think we had the worst record in the NHL 3-4 times, we've picked in the top 10 constantly, had the #1 pick twice and 12 years later we're finally getting there. Now I come to the man who was supposed to save this franchise.....Jack Eichel. Eichel was taken by the Sabres #2 overall in 2015 and he was supposed to be the guy.....he was supposed to save our franchise, we gave him an 8 year deal, 10 million a year, named him captain but the wheels fell off. Eichel was never a captain he was a douche, chasing coaches and players like Ryan O'Reily out of town, he was a cock sucker to fans and a complete diva. Eichel had a neck injury, wanted this surgery, Sabres wanted him to have that surgery, blah blah blah blah and Buffalo became the laughing stock of the NHL. Eichel was eventually traded to Vegas got his surgery, won a cup, can go fuck himself. It's almost like when Eichel got traded, not to sound corny....the healing and the rebuild could finally get going. Buffalo now has superstar and 40 goal scorer Tage Thompson, Jeff Skinner, Alex Tuch and young stud Dylan Cozens have been putting up 30 goals. young defenseman like Rasmus Dahlin and Owen Power are looking to anchor the defense for years to come and the cherry on top is.....the Sabres may have finally found their goalie in 21 year ABSOLUTE STUD Devon Levi. This could be the year the Sabres break the playoff drought and make some noise this year. But overall it's been a painful last DOZEN years. SADNESS RATING: It's kind of like having a great job, great wife and family...then you find out your wife was a whore the whole time and was banging your boss, the kids aren't really yours, she leaves, takes the kids and the dog and you become a raging alcoholic for over a decade but now you've decided to get clean and find the love of your life. 8/10 Then we come to the New York Mets, They suck. They always suck, they're always going to suck. No matter how much money they spend, no matter what stars play for them.....they're always going to suck. Babe Ruth and Ted Williams could come back from the dead and Babe Ruth would hit 5 home runs and Ted Williams batting average would be under .200. Prime Nolan Ryan could pitch for this team and go 2-22 and have an ERA over 5. We could get Shoehei Ohtani, Mike Trout and Ronal Acuna and they would all simultaneously tear their ACL's coming off the fucking bus to the game. Again the Mets are suck and they will always be suck SADNESS RATING: It's kind of like when you marry a prostitute then find out she's banging random people, you knew.....you always knew 1/10 I know they suck DISCLAIMER: I blame a lot of this on my brother because growing up I followed the same teams he did, Thanks for nothing and pain Mike! |
