Which weighs more: 100lbs of rocks or 100lbs of Feathers?

 What to do when anger overtakes you? Makes you into a person who you were not intending to be, turns you to the path of ill repute? Has you fathoming the most dastardly things imaginable by even the most hostile and vile of people? What do you do when the earth beneath your feet is suddenly taken away? When what you know to be the norm suddenly becomes the past definition of life? How do you continue on with life when “life” as you know it ceases to be that? Ever question obvious things? If it’s illegal to ride around while speaking on a cellular phone (without a hands free device/feature), shouldn’t you be able to make a citizen’s arrest on the officer that cut you off because he didn’t see you as he was arguing on the phone with his mistress? What do you do?

 Why is everybody in ol’ boy RayRice business? I’m not an advocate for men putting hands on women for any reason, however there are those circumstances where in the aftermath of it all a genuine (real) female will admit that she was attempting to push said man to the edge in order to get a reaction out of him. In regards to that situation in particular I have only one thing to say: ‘she took the ass whoopin as his girlfriend and is watching all the news fallout as his wife’. Point blank period. It’s over, none of our business, they’ve taken care of it within their camp so therefore it has nothing to do with the rest of the world. Unfortunately for Mr. & Mrs. Rice their lives are public, so even though she spit in this man’s face, and smacked him about 3 times (that we saw on camera) he was in error for putting hands on her. Let’s not forget to examine the man too though; this is an athlete we are talking about a man whose life is about testosterone, whose job it is to either get around or through somebody. Come on now, you know another man wouldn’t have pushed him like that, spit in his face and smacked him about. Factor in the element of Atlantic City; the alcohol, the gambling, the fact that she probably caught him at least 6 times that night with a wandering eye.

 The real story in this whole situation is this dirt bag Roger Goodell, commissioner of the NFL for anybody like me who doesn’t watch sports and didn’t know off the top of their head, acting as though he didn’t receive that tape when it first came out. Really? What year are we living in again? What country is this? How much money does this man have? SHIIIIITTTTTTTT (in my Bunk from the Wire voice) Them ‘good ol boy’s’ sure know how to pass that buck right? This man Rice gets tossed back out into the cold even though this whole matter was discussed and dealt with months ago, but Rog can act as though he had no knowledge and it all gets sweeped under the rug, I call BULLSHIT NFL.

I think it’s odd that people pick and choose when to get upset over a general issue. The man put hands on his lady and was punished, fine, but when it comes out that Goodell was/is a lying sack of horse manure somebody needs to lose their executive skybox seats, that’s all I’m saying. If they got all these ‘put the phone down’ and ‘click it or ticket’ campaigns going on and tickets are starting at like $150 in some places for violating said laws. Then all things being fair and equal, I should be able to stand at the corner and write out citizens’ arrest tickets for every officer I see violating or riding around with their seatbelt off. Ha, wouldn’t that be something? I’d probably get arrested for disorderly conduct or something like that.

That’s all for now, I know it’s been a while but I had to drop a lil 2nd day of the week on you, one time for the one time. I’ll definitely be back next week as the fall premiers start to roll in. I’m already not feeling one, but I’ll reserve my judgment until I see the pilot. Any love/hate mail holla at my inbox ceizzo86@gmail.com.
