Big Blue Weekend Kicks Off With ‘I Am A Champion’

 

Dallas. Check. Atlanta. Check. Next stop…15-1 Green Bay. All corny headline titles aside, I cannot wait until Justin Tuck separates Aaron Rodgers’ shoulders. Everyone keeps saying ‘I wonder what defense will show up’ or ‘I wonder what Eli will show up.’ How about the defense that has showed up for the past 2 weeks just embarrassing the opponents offense or the Eli that is on pace for another Super Bowl MVP truck? What’s even better is when Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz are discount double checking and salsa dancing all over the endzone. Also, will someone please shut BJ Raji the hell up? Ya didn’t do shit all year and now you’re gonna open your mouth? You’re Jersey, you ski in your jeans. Sunday can’t come soon enough and I expect every Giants fan to be sporting their blue this weekend!

Side Note: Fuck Tim Tebow and the halo he rides in on. I hate the Patriots but this ESPN coverage NEEDS TO BE STOPPED before my head explodes! Go Pats.

Hoboken Cancels St. Patty’s Day Parade

NBCNewYork:

The Hoboken, N.J. St. Patrick’s Day Parade has been canceled by its organizers, who said the city’s decision to move the event to a weekday in an effort to cut down on rowdiness was “insulting” and “unreasonable.” In its 26-year history, the event has drawn spectators from throughout the tri-state. Last year, after police made 34 arrests and issued 296 citations for violations like urinating in public and carrying open containers of alcohol, Mayor Dawn Zimmer announced that the 2012 parade would be moved to a Wednesday “to reduce the amount of partying that occurs.” “The city of Hoboken’s inability to protect our spectators, bands and participants led us to this heartbreaking decision,” the parade committee said in a statement Friday. “The idea of marching in a parade, in the dark, on a week night, is as insulting as it is unreasonable.” In a letter to the parade committee last month, Zimmer denied the committee’s request to have the parade on a Saturday, telling the group that the parade is a “great celebration of Irish heritage” that gets marred by criminal activity and other unrest throughout the day. “Residents and business owners suffer significant property damage and crime spikes to unacceptable levels, parents are afraid to let their children play outside and many residents simply feel forced to leave town or close their businesses for the day,” Zimmer wrote in the letter released by her office Friday. “I believe that the public safety concerns pose too much of a threat to our community, and I stand by my decision,” she added. In a statement on its website, the group says it will consider invitations from other communities to march in their St. Patrick celebrations. Zimmer called the parade organizers’ decision “unfortunate” and said the city would come up with its own plan to celebrate Irish heritage. “While the parade is a beautiful event, the impact of everything that happens after the parade in our community, sexual assault, property damage, children can’t walk around on their own, it’s an unsafe environment,” the mayor said in a statement. “That’s what this decision is all about, making sure our community is safe.”

 

You can cancel the parade but you can’t cancel the party. Yes, it won’t be the same not hearing bag pipes and fire trucks driving down Washington but everyone knows St. Patty’s Day in Hoboken is the first Saturday of March. This is absolute bullshit what the city is trying to pull because in reality, all they’re doing is taking the parade away. You can’t stop people from going to bars or throwing apartment parties. It’s going to happen whether you like it or not! People will be puking in the streets, fights are gonna break out, and people will be passed out on the sidewalk. Isn’t that what St. Patty’s Day is all about anyway?!

6 Year Old Gets Ticket After Driving Toy Motorcycle Into SUV

HuffPost:

CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico — Police in this border city repented Thursday over ticketing a 6-year-old boy for reckless driving, driving without a license and not having his vehicle registered after he drove his miniature motorcycle into an SUV. The boy’s mother, Karla Noriega, said police impounded the miniature gasoline-powered motorbike that her son got for Christmas after he crashed into an SUV on Dec. 27. Noriega decided to go to the media and make the case public after finding out she would have to pay what she called a “ridiculous” $183 in fines to recover the toy motorbike. City council Secretary Hector Arceluz said Thursday that authorities had dropped the fines, released the motorbike and would punish the police officers for having acted improperly. Noriega’s son Gael was happy to get his minibike back, but said it no longer works after the accident.

 

What? You think just cause you’re 6 you don’t have to abide by the rules? I woulda tested this kid for a DUI. Get him to walk a straight line and recite his ABCs without singing them. Oh, you don’t know your ABCs? We’re taking you downtown for a breathalyzer. That’ll teach him. What a great picture that would be. 6 year old in the back of a police car driving to the station with a toy motorcycle hanging out of the trunk. Poor kid is gonna have a rough time as it is growing up since his name is Gael so hopefully this toughens him up.
