10 years ago

This last week has been very challenging for me. It seems like everyone and their dogs have tried to push my angry button. If this would have happen 10 years ago I know exactly how I would have handled this situation. I would have cranked up my mic on that 100,000 watt blow torch known as 105.3 FM Talk in Dallas and started blasting folks. I would have flipped that switch and went scorched earth until whoever was pissing me off called me crying out of pure embarrassment. I was just a kid back then 10 years ago. What the hell did I know?

Even when my old boss tried to talk sense to me & warn me about karma, not talking bad about people etc.etc.... He got an on air tongue lashing too. I guess looking back it is no wonder why I got "laid off" from that place. Oh well,live and learn. Now that I am 10 years older and all grows up I would never ever dream of bashing people like that ever again.

For example: I would never mention in this blog how my non psycho ex girlfriend showed up on my door step wanting to do her laundry at 5am one day this week. In her defense she did text me in the middle of the night to let me know what her intentions were. Then like any other sane person on this planet she reached the next logical conclusion. Since I didn't respond to her text, nor have I talked to her in weeks she decided in her non crazy brain it would be ok to just show up and wait outside my door for me to wake up. Surprise! Basket of dirty laundry and all there she was when I went to leave for my morning work out. (I'm just glad I locked the dead bolt that night!) 10 years ago you better believe this would have got an on-air segment. I could have taken calls and probably found some way of getting a free restraining order. Now I think I will just let it go like it never happen.

Then there is the captain of my former dart team. I was on his team until Friday Night. Friday Night is when a casual game of darts turned Fox and Hound in Dallas into a War Zone. After I beat our mighty captain (throwing my way not his) he stormed out of the bar throwing a fit like a five-year old child. 10 years ago this jack ass would have had an on-air bit dedicated to him too. You know one of those bits where I am telling the story and there is a crying baby sound effect in the background. These days I don't feel that story should be told in a public forum.


Then there is the Facebook over commenter. Look, I love social media as much as the next guy does. I really appreciate you taking the time out of your schedule to comment on my post but, you really,really,really don't have to comment on every post I make. 10 years ago the over commenter would have got some comments from me he couldn't delete with a click of the mouse. I'm glad I have matured though.

I don't want to forget about the midget at work. This mighty mouse size guy is very comparable to a yippee yappee (that little s.o.b just interrupted me while I was typing this to ask me about a DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince Song. Seriously! WTF?) little dog. He just barks nonsense, non stop all morning long. Yip-Yap!Yip-Yap! Back in 2001 I can hear myself doing a midget being beat to death bit. Today I'll just turn the proverbial other cheek.

I guess this blog is proof that I have calmed down in my advanced age. What can I say? I'm older and wiser! The one thing that hasn't changed is; I can still pick football games! BOOOOYOOO

Prepare for 6-10

I have accepted the challenge and will take on this tremendous burden to be the bearer of bad news here on BigBadSportsDaddy.com. The news is that our own Dallas Cowboys are going to suck both this year and next! Sorry, but it’s true, damn true!

So as we prepare to break an all-time heat wave record here in DFW, the Dallas Cowboys are wrapping up training camp in San Antonio as they prepare for the upcoming 2011 season. Even though we have had a turbulent off-season, it looks like it's business as usual for the Dallas Cowboys. For example you have Jerry Jones with his eternal optimism that the Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl again like it is the year 1995, you have new Head Coach Jason Garrett telling the media what they want to hear, and not to mention our new Defensive Coordinator Rex Ryan (whose dad Buddy is still Cowboys public enemy #1 by the way) making national news talking smack about the Eagles.
To the Eagles, huh Rex? Do you think that's really a good idea? The Eagles who went out and inked every Defensive Free Agent under the sun, and then traded for more. The Eagles whose QB is a hardcore puppy killing convict. To the Eagles, the team that will dominate the NFC East in 2011. Giving the Eagles bulletin board material in training camp is an even worst idea than calling Chuck Norris a puss.


Fact...the Eagles and Cowboys hate each other enough already! Fact...the Eagles did everything they needed to do in 2011 to improve their pathetic no trophy having franchise while America’s team did nothing. Fact...this season is going to get ugly for Cowboys fans.
The popular opinion with both hardcore homer Cowboys fans and national media alike is that Tony Romo will be the Cowboys' savior in 2011. Where did this come from? Tony Romo is a glorified Chris Miller. T-Rom as D-Bags like to call him, is just good enough to keep his job but not good enough to get the job done. Is he better than what we had last year? Of Course! Is he an elite NFL QB? Hell no...not even close!
The O-line could be five fat girls at a Hanson concert and nobody would know the difference. The Running Back situation is a huge cluster F! The D has more problems than the USA credit rating. Overall, if I were grading this team, I would give them a D for Disaster.
If you are a Cowboys fan, then you need to prepare for what looks to be a 6-10 season. If you are like me, you should do some extra fantasy research. Mark my words and take my advice hardcore football fan...your Fantasy team will be your only distraction from The Dallas Cowboys suckiness in 2011.

Frickin Lockout

I am sick of hearing about Lockouts! The NFL is in the middle of one and the NBA is about to have one. Can you guys just cut out the petty bickering-bitching and just play? Please for the love of God Shut up and play!

Do you remember when sports was fun for everyone? Back in a time before Deion Sanders would make "Business Decisions" on the field. Back when the players hatred towards other team's players was so much it created rivalries? Yes kids Rivalries are almost extinct but it is still a word. Look it up if you don't believe me.


I myself think it is us the fan who is going to get screwed in the end. Yes sir we will wind up paying for the sins of the owners and players.

Example: Let's say The Owners and Players put a new CBA in place. That would mean the owners are paying the players' union more money. Which in turn means prices at the stadium go from way to high to astronomical!. Do you want to pay $15 for a beer at the game? I bet you money you will in the next five years. Joe $32,500 gets to spend more of his hard-earned money to watch these millionaires play and put more in the billionaires pocket. Real classy NFL.


I know the players are fighting for guys past,present and future and that is commendable. My questions is why should the owners have to pay for that? The Players make enough money if they all would agree to hold 2% out of their checks for ( lack of a better term)an old timers fund. Then we they retire they would be eligible for said fund. When you are making $150,000 a game no one is going to be sorry for you if they hold an extra 2% out. Sorry Players.


The thing that gets me is there is plenty of money to go around between players and owners. How rich do you have to get? They are both going to start losing money because they are stubborn jack asses and won't budge an inch.

Are you ready for a logical all be far fetched solution? A solution that would make the game better as well. You know what screw you NFL you don't deserve this solution! IF the USFL or another league wants to take this and run with it,HAVE AT IT!

My solution goes a little something like this,each owner has to put up a prize purse before the game. In each and every game each team has to put up an equal amount. The amount would be set before the season started. After that it is winner take all! They can then divide that amongst the team based on performances of that game. It is simple and it is fair.

It's kind of like Rodeo. In Rodeo If the Cowboy doesn't win; The Cowboy doesn't get paid. It would provide players more incentives to play harder. No more " Buissness Decisions" out there. It would make the game more exciting for the fans,players and owners. It looks like win! win! win! to me~


 Do you have a better solution? If so let me hear from you. Or if you got big boobs let me hear from you too!
