Dance Party NFL

This is just a quickie, but if the NFL is worried about gang activity, get rid of the dancing. I mean it's like a training ground for Dancing with the stars. Every play has a dance or a posture. Are they capable of just going back to the huddle? Instead of pissin and moanin about it, throw a flag on every play that there is a choreographed dance, stance, or prance. Every single play. It's getting so I am losing interest in the games. If I want to watch dancing I'll look up the Solid Gold Dancers or tune into Soul Train. Play ball fellas!

Maryland Prisoners Get Satellite TV

Who do I have to kill to get satellite TV? That may be a sticky question now that some of Maryland's state prisons are adding it for the prisoner's entertainment. Is it for entertainment, or are they doing like many parents with small children do, as a babysitter? A spokesman for the Department of Corrections says it so the prisoners stay in their cells and the guards don't have to watch them. What about commercials and when there isn't crap on?

Am I paying for these people to watch satellite TV? Corrections say no, it is paid for by the prisoner's commissary and telephones. The prison commissary must have a profit margin like Exxon Mobile! I'm going to open a little shop selling Little Debbie's and tooth brushes just to watch the coin roll in! I thought the phones were all collect calls only? Did that change? Are they offering cellies at the prison boutique now?

Let's make prison a punishment again. First time in is what it's like now. Second time in is in a tent city in Western Maryland. No electricity, no running water. Third time is escaped from Hagerstown! Wall in the old prisons, turn off the power, and pull out all the guards. Escape attempts are stopped by machine guns and those winged monkeys from "The Wizard of Oz!" Let mob rule, it apparently is if they are placating them with satellite so they will behave.

Right now prison is better living for these people then home. Let's make it worse, much worse. Prison is supposed to be a deterrent, right? Let's make it less appealing then it is apparently to some. At the rate we are going we are going to spend a lot of money on prisons. Oh that's right, we already are! That's how you make it safer to work in a prison, pull all the guards out and let the prisoner's do their thing. In a few years I bet you don't have many 3 time losers, or 29 time losers like we have now! If we do, so be it.

Gang Signs In The NFL

I did not know that gangs had infiltrated pro sports. Where was I when that happened? I thought gangs were something that young minorities joined to have a sense of self? What was it the Celtic player did during the championship that caused such a ruckus? I'd like to know so I don't accidentally do it down to the Piggley Wiggley! I said a few posts ago I thought Kevin Garnett was speaking a different language. Was he gang talking? This is a pickle!

Don't these guys know gangs are a bad thing? It looks like the NFL is taking steps to stop this right here, right now. Did you know the NFL had an orientation for new players and a part of that orientation is to let them know they can"t be in gangs? I did not know this, but I'm glad I do now. The referees are going to now be like hall monitors in Junior high, or guards in prison, whichever one works for you. On top of calling the game, the refs are going to report any suspected gang gestures, or dances, or whatever looks gangy.

How do the refs know what is gang related? Are they going to watch the movie "Warriors" from 1979 and see what they do? No clicking beer bottles together in the end zone? Now I remember what they are going to do. The league hired gang experts to review films of NFL games to see if anyone is doing anything they shouldn't be. I wish this was a joke, but it's not. The player that got killed last year was shot by a gang member. Is this retaliation for that?

I know, this is crazy, but it just might work. Any player caught flashing gang signs gets banned from football, forever, has to pay all the money they earned back, and has to pay a fine for violating the rules of the league. How about they ban all the tribal dances after each TD and all tackles. No flexing, no posturing, no choreographed celebrations. Go back to the way the greats played. Unitas didn't have a Sharpie, and he let his play do the dancing. Don't give me any of that I'm black, I gotta dance crap either. This isn't about race, just ask Jim Brown. He had a pretty fair career and didn't dance, didn't pose. Didn't Walter Payton use to hand the ball to the ref after a TD?

Let's face it, things are out of control. These guys are making a ton of money, traveling with entourages, not living a normal life. The NFL leads all other sports in arrests. True, most of the guys playing are doing a great job. It's the old story, a few bad apples. Let's just get back to the games. Make it so we want it to be Sunday again. This crap continues and I'm going to flash the NFL a sign, and it wont be a gang one!
