Chris Kluwe, Gay Rights Activist

He’s also now a punter for the Oakland Raiders. I was kind of curious about Kluwe’s press conference today. He actually spoke more about football than politics. He said his focus was mostly on making the team. If I remember correctly, when a member of the Vikings, Kluwe  sent an obscenity-laced letter to a Maryland state delegate. This was in response to the lawmaker’s letter to Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Biscotti regarding another player’s stance on gay marriage.

Personally, I think Kluwe, despite being a foul-mouthed jerk, should be given a wide range of latitude here. After all, BSP doesn’t consider punters to be football players. Kluwe has plenty of time to worry about political bullshit. What is practice like for a punter? What does a punter do on the sidelines besides spin a ball and kick it into a net? The guy probably wrote that document on the sidelines while Adrian Peterson was running wild over an NFC North opponent. The Vikings must have been impressed with Kluwe’s political stances. They thought Kluwe was so awesome, they told him he could kick for someone else.

Kickers who get involved in non-football stuff are actually beneficial. If your place kicker or punter is worried about other weird shit like “One Million Moms”, they won’t be thinking too hard about the game and bang that game-losing field goal wide.

Courtney Robertson’s Doing Just Fine

I was paging through some of my favorite online trash when I saw The Bachelor’s Courtney Robertson on TMZ.

Can you believe I had a video of convicted murderer Jodi Arias here? Well it’s gone. Big mistake, I apologize.

Anyway, since her high-profile dumping by Ben Flajnik, she’s been doing well.

Then again, it didn’t turn out well for him in the Bachelorette, when Ashley dumped him:

“I’m sorry”

“I didn’t see this one coming”

Damn.

“Good things don’t end unless they end badly”

Like we say, douchetastic behavior is a common trait among the Bachelor/Bachelorette  persons. For a look at Courtney on the TMZ site, you can click here. That’s a smokin hot white woman for sure.

Dick Trickle Dead of Self-Inflicted Gunshot Wound

Another sad story. The former NASCAR driver, Dick Trickle died today of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 71 years old. According to the Associated Press:

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office said authorities received a call believed to be from Trickle, who said “there would be a dead body and it would be his.” Authorities tried to call the number back, but no one answered.

In case you didn’t know, Dick Trickle had become famous due to his inability to win NASCAR races. What even fans of NASCAR may not know, Dick Trickle was a legend in short track racing. He reportedly won over 1,000 short track races. Legendary douchebag Keith Olbermann would regularly mention where Trickle finished after each NASCAR race.Most of all, Trickle was known for having a ton of stories and being a genuinely fun guy to be around.

According to TMZ, Trickle had been sick and depressed prior to the suicide.

RIP, Dick Trickle.

 

Caps Collapse Yet Again

Last night, the Washington Capitals fell in yet another Game 7 travesty, 5-0 to the New York Rangers.
Lets set aside my enormous dislike for the Rangers and virtually all New York related-sports. Lets not talk about my boycott of all hockey this year. That’s right: I didn’t watch a single full game of NHL this season. I was totally outraged by the lockout, something I figured they had finally gotten right with the season lockout in 2004-05.

Lets talk about the Washington Capitals.

This team has some decent talent but for some unknown reason can’t get past the second round of the playoffs. Not only have they lost, when they have won series, they take no less than seven games to do so. They’ve lost to better teams, to worse teams. They’ve lost in sudden death; they’ve been blown out. They’ve lost to eventual Cup-winners; they’ve lost to teams eliminated in the next round.

How does a team end up failing so often in big moments? I don’t know. Fans get into the general manager, the coach. The general manager doesn’t shoot the puck and he doesn’t make saves. They have changed coaches; twice since they started making the playoffs regularly. One of their core players, Alex Semin, departed. No change.

I’ve often wondered what makes a team repeatedly fail in big moments. I can’t say the will to win isn’t there. It’s possibly the fear of failure. Players don’t want to make a mistake so they don’t play very well.

Alex Ovechkin says “nobody remembers losers.” Wrong. People remember losers who continue to lose.

The Dirtbag Starting Five

Are you kidding me?

Just when you think the Jodi Arias trial is done, who comes up to extend Headline News run of horrible celebrity court appearances?

The Juice.

Too funny, HLN just ran a split screen with Jodi and the Juice. Two of the five most hated people in America sharing a screen. I bet each one thinks the other one is a complete scumbag.

HLN = Ratings Hoes.

By the way, who, in BSP’s eyes, are the five most hated people in America? In no particular order:

- Casey “Casey BigRack” Anthony
- Orenthal James “The Juice” Simpson
- Jodi Ann Arias
- Jerry Sandusky
- Ariel Castro

I’d put that dirtbag starting five out there against anyone else’s.

Letting men be men

Last night I was watching my usual DVRed trash TV when a part of a show comes on. Its a Sitcom; since sitcoms suck I had no idea what the title is. The guys are supposed to be overly smart, scientifically gifted and somewhat shy.
Another show has on a guy who’s loud and supposed to be a big womanizer.
The problem is, these guys who want these women are overtly GAY. I saw one episode where one of these gay guys is in bed with a smokin hot Indian woman, as if he actually had sexual relations with her. Are you kidding me? The last time that dude saw a vagina was when he was on the way out of it.
The key point here is, these sitcoms are shaping American thought. I suspect the producers and writers in these shows dont know what heterosexual men are really like. These guys are portraying men who are only interested in boning chicks, have no depth in relationships and are socially deficient. Meanwhile the one or two gay men on these shows come off as near perfect in the public’s eyes.
I tell you what: men have similar problems to women. Men pretty much want the same things out of relationships as women. Unfortunately men can’t be men. Men have to be “dildos with a heartbeat” as stated by the late Travis Alexander. Low expectations are met. In the eyes of these sitcom writers, ideal (gay) men are supposed to be compliant and basically catering to a woman’s need and desires.  “Regular” men are oafs with their minds firmly in the gutter.
That, my friends, sucks. I love to look at women. But I’m completely devoted to my wife. She knows this. The thing is, I tend to her needs, and only her needs. She tends to mine. I dont have to agree with her on everything. I dont have to suck up to her. And I don’t have to be a Neanderthal.
I hope the phony sitcom dies a harsh death. They suck.

The Verdict: GUILTY

Jodi Arias, found guilty of premeditated felony murder.

Her reaction? Virtually none. So what? She’s a killer. She can kill someone; she can slit someone else’s throat. She’s a murderer. She isn’t going to have a reaction. She’s a narcissist. She’s smart, but she has no common sense. Earlier this week, Arias provided a nasty tweet at Nancy Grace. She had sent a series of demeaning tweets on Juan Martinez earlier in the trial:

Now they go to the aggravation phase. The prosecution has to prove cruelty. That shouldn’t be a problem. She got him out of the shower, stabbed him and kept stabbing him. As Travis Alexander stood at his bathroom mirror, the last thing he saw was this crazy woman stabbing him. I can’t even imagine what the dude thought when Jodi grabbed his head to slit his throat. Then she dragged him back to the shower and shot him in the head.

And then she stomped his dead body.

Jodi Arias clearly thought she was going to get away with it. I’m still surprised five jurors only got her for premeditated murder, the other seven got her for premeditated felony murder. Unless you were on an island, you know she was a cold-blooded killer.

After the verdict, Arias was heard screaming at her attorneys. She shouldn’t. Their muddling the prosecution’s case is the only reason it took 15 hours. She’s highly likely to get the worst possible sanction.

Get this: Arias reportedly said she’s praying for each person on the jury. She’s nuttier than a fruitcake! I hope the jury gives her what she deserves…a trip to the gurney and a dirt nap.
