This Week in Rage

Customer service Lines. Let me explain something to you. having an automated voice try to guide you to an answer is about effective as fighting a war with paintball guns. you might hit your target, but you're not gonna receive the desired effect. So please why can't I just talk to a human being if that's what's gonna end up happening anyway, you're an automaton middle man so I can talk to another middle man. How about this, I call you up and I get press 1 for english  2 for spanish and that's fucking it, let me talk to a person who is capable of understanding that I don't want to be talking to this person any longer than I have to, what is essentially a business transaction is being streached into a inconvenience for myself.

Paying for shit that used to be free. Remember when cheat codes were free? Well EA reached a new level of making you pay for your game well after you've started playing it by offering the Time is Money DLC pack that unlocks all the locations and skater items, it's 400 MS points which is roughly $5. You may remember in Madden 07 they did the same thing for each team's throwback jersey and classic stadiums for the Xbox 360 that were included (for free) on the PS2. I'm sorry, microtransactions are the epitome of evil, nickle and diming someone who just dished out $60 for a game and then charging them another $5 for all the content is a bit, um, douchey.

Light beer. I shouldn't have to try to remember what beer tastes like, unlike many of my contemporaries I don't just drink beer to get drunk, sure, that serves a secondary purpose, but if I'm drinking something, I want to enjoy it. I speaking specifically to the corona/ budlight/ natty light fuck tards. you are the reason why the drinking age is 21, shit, I would raise it to 50 if all you plan on buying is that piss water beer, I would give an 8 year old child a yuengling black and tan just cause I know it's gonna keep him busy for a while, mean while he's drank four bud lights before the end of the first quarter. Long time readers may notice my bias towards Yuengling, you know why that is? It costs just as much (if not less in some places) than bud light and guess what? IT'S STILL FUCKING AMERICAN MADE! now granted, yuengling makes light versions of their products, but point is, light beer, specifically bud light, is used only by those who are using it as a means to an end, cause there is no way you think that shit tastes good.

No dog in the hunt? why not root for the birds?

Now here's the thing. Untill this year there were several things that had not occurred in or for Arizona. amongst them are:

1. NFL Playoff Home game

2. A Division title

3. A Conference title

4. A Super Bowl appearance

5. Martin Luther King Day being observed. 

Well, 4/5 ain't bad. 

Unless you or any family members are from Pittsburgh and you're rooting for the Steelers. You're an asshole. 

or If you, like Donovan McNabb have had something happen to you in arizona. There is really no reason why you shouldn't be pulling for the cards next sunday. They're the ultimate underdog, even moreso than the Tampa Bay Rays, the Ray's are barley even ten years old and after sucking for nine they made it to the World series. The Rays are pretty much  The Titans if there was a football equivalent. Their unprecedented success ultimately fell short and they lost to a team that had a much more longstanding history of futility. The Cardinals are quite literally the football equivalent of the Philadelphia Phillies. After years of being considered the laughing stock of the NFL, The Cardinals are one win away from a Super Bowl victory, that same victory might very well land Kurt Warner into the Hall of Fame. 

Can't forget about the Patron saint either.

God, this cold be awesome. Chutley and Leinart both getting rings this year is gonna make my head explode. 

Well, I have a bus to catch to head back home. While there I will attempt to live blog the Flyers-Panthers game (that's hockey fyi) and chances are manage to not get drunk at all while im down there.

I want to murder your face

We Dont need no education: notable underclassmen who've declaired for the draft

Mark Sanchez, QB, USC
Percy Harvin, WR, Florida
Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech
Nate Davis, QB, Ball State
Andre Smith, DT, Alabama
Knowshon Moreno, RB, Georgia
Matthew Stafford, QB, Georgia
Chris "Beanie" Wells, RB, Ohio State
Donald Brown, RB, Connecticut
Jeremy Childs, WR, Boise State

Stafford might as well practice falling down and landing on his back in ford field. Percy Harvin should be thankful they fired Matt Millen otherwise he's be the one wearing silver and blue. Andre Smith can continue to overeat at St. Louis. Beanie Wells and Chad Johnson at the same place at the same time is scary. Sorry to tell you Sanchez. the best looking girl in Kansas City is her, and she's taken.

Florida Gator fans are the "new" New England Patriots fans

Now, this has been brewing for a while, and here, I'm saying it. Shut up, please. My mind is slowly wrapping around the concept of the preposed college football playoff. let me rephrase that. The awesome Obama backed idea that would all but eliminate this shit from occurring once again. Let me make the following cases for Utah, Texas, and USC. allow me to adjust my seat so I can fully hate the florida gators for what they are and their narcissistic self absorbed asshole fans. KSK might have coined the phrase Massholes for fans of the new england area teams. but I think we can all agree if there was something just as catchy to call gator fans, that shit would be gangbusters. 

Let the cynicism begin.

Utah- Only undefeated team in college football. Only problem is, they're not in a BCS conference. Defeated Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Had their coach Kyle Whittingham named AP Coach of the year in the FBS. Still not in a BCS conference. Named #2 in the final AP coaches poll, Defeated 3 ranked opponents, including a team that was #1 in the nation for 5 weeks. Still not in a BCS conference. Imagine being in American Idol, but being placed 3rd and not even being considered for the final two because you were born in canada. 

USC- Maybe the only competitive team in the PAC-10, Although, they also lost to #18 Oregon State. OH, WAIT. UF Lost to #14 Ole Miss. I get it, in conference losses only count when you're in the "vastly superior SEC" blow me. Number of SEC ranked teams: 4. Number of PAC-10 ranked Teams: 3. It all makes sense now, that one extra ranked school makes the SEC 100x better than the pac-10. it makes sense the more you think about it. and shove bamboo under your fingernails.

speaking of ranked schools and better conferences, you know who has more ranked schools than the SEC? THE BIG FUCKING 12. Which brings me to my final point.

Texas- If I'm Colt McCoy I'm wearing a huge happy hat for next year at Texas. Being ranked #3 and losing out on the Big 12 championship would make me feel amazing. not only did we beat Oklahoma in the regular season, our only loss came to TEXAS FUCKING TECH ON THE LAST PLAY OF THE GAME. I use all caps to emphasize that I'm actually yelling as I type this. alright. That's it for this week in Rage.
