To NCAA or Not to NCAA.. I apologize to ALL MEN for dropping the NCAA Hoops Ball !

Every year when the NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament starts I get all excited and decide I’m going to watch EVERY game..Bar none. Then the tournament starts and I start losing interest until the Final Four, and then I get mildly interested again,and watch pretty much the remaining games. But I’m really pissed this time because I did it again. I got psyched up.. Watched every first round game with fervor and then my interest fell off and I missed some really great games. The GEORGETOWN collapse ( Why does John Thompson Jr, get a pass for that one), STANFORD game Sat night, UCLA’s wicked comeback, and many more games that I probably missed too. The only reason I knew about the afore mentioned games was I heard all my buddies talk about them on Monday ..PATHETIC ! So here’s my Promise to all GUYS. I no longer will dismiss 2nd and 3rd round games of the NCAA tournament ! I will watched the Tournament with lust and fervor, and record every second in my memory bank for future discussions, and I will never, never, turn off a game with more then 10 minutes remaining. Apology accepted ?

JP Morgan -Bear Stearns Cha-Cha.. How long before BEAR STERNS is back to original Price ?

irst they find that BEAR STEARNS has huge problems and they have to immediately have to BAIL them out. The FED meets with JP Morgan and they say. ” We need to bail out the whole banking system, so here’s 30 bill boys , Can you take over Bear Stearns out at $ 2 a share?” . The officials look bewildered but know a good deal when they see one , so they say ” Yeah sure..” Like Frank Pantangeles in the GODFATHER Pt 2. Then the FED add’s. And for being good soldiers, we’ll throw in a .75 rate cut” The boys at JP ” Lick their chops and exclaim to the world…We BUY ” Now I don’t think anybody really thought that the demise of a major firm like BEAR STEARNS would go happen so quickly and without any resistance ( Lawyers are licking their lips) , but does the Government, JP Morgan, and even Bear Stearns think we are all idiots? Uh for those that have forgotten ENRON,LONG TERM CAPITAL, The Banking Scandal, TYCO, World Com, etc etc the ansewer in a resounding YES ! Now JP Morgan is feeling guilt for stealing the firm at $ 2 a share, so they want to raise the bid to $ 10. So what’s next on the wink-wink front ? $ 15 a share..Then 25 $ , Then back to the price Bear Stearns was before the supposed demise? What a Machiavellian setup this was..is !

I’m 51andPissed because my Portfolio looks like Keith Richards hair !

Down they go.  Then down more, and then down again.  Then a HUGE investment bank takes a header,and the world looks like it’s about to end.  I have huge headaches.  I can’t Sleep. My portfolio looks  like  Keith Richards hair, and friends and fellow townspeople are down big time because they are either worried about losing their job or worse yet they have already lost it.   And then like a red tailed hawk swooping down on a innocent squirrel, JP Morgan scoops up Bear Stearns for $2 a share(swiinngg), the FED cuts rates by .75 and there is Euphoria in the air.  Up 400+ points and now my head really hurts.  Which way now ?  Is this the bottom ?  A dead cat bounce ? Or just another  head fake by the Worlds Economy.. I don’t know, but it makes my stomach contort like Mary Lou Retton and my head hurt like Jim Morrison after the concert in New Haven.  That’s why I’m 51andPissed !

Is this the beginning of a GREAT DEPRESSION ? Bear Stearns sells for $ 2 to JP Morgan !

This is a bailout plain and simple. Who is next though ? MERRILL LYNCH ? LEHMAN BROTHERS ? My guess is GOLDMAN SACHS. Goldman has remained clean though this whole ordeal, but now there looks like there are cracks in the dike. I wouldn’t be surprised if GOLDMAN took a spill. Watch that one and don’t be afraid to short it !

PISSED OFF.No.6, BILLY CRYSTAL aka EDDIE GAEDEL signs 1 day contract with YANKEES !

Ahhh I smell Bill Veeck , remember the little Eddie Gaedel dude (can’t say midget anymore) ? Shame on the Yankees. What would the YANKEE CLIPPER, THE BAMBINO, THE MICK, THE CHAIRMAN BOARD, think of this debacle..Then again those guys were so hammered (except Joe D) that they would prob have liked the idea. Derek Jeter, Arod, and Jorge Posada won’t say anything because it would be a PR nightmare.. So I’ll will say it ..It sux and it pisses me off. C’mon Steinbrenners(George and Hank) , stop the BS You have the greatest franchise in sports history, don’t f,it up with 60 year old dudes who want to get their rocks off playing for 1 day. I know he’s a lifelong YANKEE fan, but so am I . so can I play shortstop during the first game of the ALCS ? Please .. I’ll name one of my KIDS . EDDIE GAEDEL !

ELLIOT SPITZER tells AIDES he’s involved in Prostitution ring !

Supposedly SPITZER told some of his aides he is involved in a VIP Club that caters to wealthy individuals. If true Ken Langone, Dick Grasso, Ace Greenburg and others will have a field day.

Things that Piss Me Off, No. 5.. MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY !

I want to like him.. I really do. Seems like a go0d Irish Guy, but every time I see him he’s making another BAD movie,dating a SUPER-HOT Model or Actress or walking around with his shirt off and a Cowboy hat on near a beach or a pool. I think it was 2005 when PEOPLE named him sexiest male on the planet. Now that sounds like I’m jealous, but I’m not..For sure. But here’s why I’m pissed. He has never made a Good Movie ( please don’t say WE ARE MARSHALL or DAZED AND CONFUSED(the 14 year old boy next door to me could have done it), his hair is retreating faster then our shorelines,but he still gets like 3 mill a movie, gets superhot chicks, and drinks Tequila on any beach in the world at anytime he wants. Ahh , maybe I am jealous ! That’s why I’m pissed !

3 Things I love about Rain.. BEER , LACROSSE,MOVIES !

Here I am.  In Northern NJ with rain coming down in buckets of sadness and I’m happy.  Happy why ?  Happy because the rain boxes us in . It boxes us into corners of houses and keeps us there because we are always running to games or work or something else and being put in that box makes us relax and sit on the couch , crack open a ber, and put on ESPNU and watch the UVA Cavaliers vs the PRINCETON Tigers.  So here I am ..Lacrosse, A Couch, a Beer, a Blanket, and PEACE !   Bring on the RAIN !  PS  After the Lax game I watched the BUDDY HOLLY STORY and had a nice little nap ..Nirvana !

Pissing me off today.No 3 ! Women with skin rash serving me at Bagel Counter !

Here’s the scene.  I’m standing in line at the local Bagel store.  They have the best Bagels(fresh, not doughy) and I LOVE their coffee.  The line moves up and as it becomes my turn I look up and there is a woman with a bad skin rash on both sides of her mouth.  ” may I help you she says”  and as the last word is released from her mouth she reaches up and with her platic gloved hand ( didnt matter what hand) she rubs the rash.  I’m frozen.  I can’t respond.  What should I do ?  I wanted to say ” What the hell was that”  but I was shocked and scared and didnt want to embarass her. ” Embarass her ?  Am I high ?  So I casually calculated my choices.  Bagel ..No !  Coffee ..No !   Aaahhh..yeah the newspaper..  Yeah that’s it ..I turn to pick up the paper but their is none ..Ugh.  No what ?  I turned back to her and said .” Just a plain bagel please..nothing on it”  She knew something was up , but couldn’t respond..” Yeah sure..” she drawled.  She plopped the bagel in a brown bag and mumbled..$ 1.25   I gave her 2 and waited for the change like Dorothy waited for the sand to run out of the hourglass. each second was like a single grain of sand..until she handed me the .75c.  Another dilema( to be continued)
