Hateful from Rochester NY

Had enough of those arrogant Lacrosse players.  Here are ten reasons lacrosse sucks and is the stupidest sport in America   10.  The Sport is whiter then snow.  1.9% of the players playing at Division one schools are minorities.  It is almost like non athletic whites found a loophole and a sport they can excel at, without having to worry about "brown" players showing them up. 9. Its not played in 75% of the country, high schools do not have this sport in most of the south and west.  Lacrosse is played in the pockets of upstate NY, Virginia, Maryland and some areas of California. 8.  You cannot see the stupid ball, try watching a game, you though trying to follow a hockey puck was hard. 7.  The players constant have their sticks with them, do football players wear their helmets, do basketball players dribble basketballs in the hall? No.  6.  The Jerseys, they look like football jerseys, its like saying we are football players only with smaller penises.  I mean a psych

Aquinas Football recently won the 2013 State Championship for the State of New York Class AA.  For this they should be congratulated.  But there are certain facts that must be presented:  1) Upstate NY does not care about high school football 2) The quality of High School Football in upstate NY is among the lowest in the nation (Don't believe me, look at how many kids get scholarships compared to areas of similar populations). Aquinas probably has the best coach in the country in Battaglia.  He won at Penfield, which is next to impossible.   Aquinas recruits, its fact they do.  So you are combining a private school that recruits and gives "academic" scholarships with the best coaching in the area of course they are going to win.  For what its worth the elite Triple AAA schools would probably stomp them.   So please, Aquinas is not a feel good story, it is a school that uses its advantages to win at football.  If the non football playing enrollment at Aquinas is not

The purpose of most scholarships is to help people attend college that would normally not be able to.  Or to reward somebody with an enhanced ability.  Lets start with these facts: Every single college lacrosse program in the country loses money Lacrosse programs add nothing to campus life, and nobody goes to their games, attendance on average is less then 1,000 people. Lacrosse abnormaly skews to rich kids.  I bet you think that is just a stereotype, and stereotypes are wrong. Well here is a list of the Top 4 High School Lacrosse Programs and their average income in that area: 1. Ward Melville $96,000 2. Boys Latin Maryland tuition 25,000/year 3. LaSalle College High School PA $99,000 4. Garden City NY 136,000  I could go on further, but the bottom line lacrosse is a sport that trends to the affluent who do not need the assistance.  It is time for colleges and universities and in the case of public colleges to stop sending kids to college on the tax payer's dime.

Richard Davis came hard charging into the American viewing public in 2007 as the star of the television show Flip This House.  The show featured Richard flipping houses for a profit with the help of his lovely assistant Ginger.  A lot has changed since that TV show, for one Richard married Ginger, after divorcing his wife. Richard sued A and E and won a 4 million dollar verdict.  He then launched a competing show on TLC, which failed miserably. But recently, it appears Richard and his company Trademark properties has fallen on hard times.  He was recently sued by a real estate agent for trying to nudge him out of a restaurant deal: http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20111208/PC1602/312089885 The real interesting segment of the lawsuit is where, the real estate agent contends that Richard Davis and Trademark Properties have outstanding liens and are in serious debt.  You might think this is just ramblings of a lawsuit.  Except, read this lawsuit against him from Wells Fargo, a

First, off let me say this, I am not affiliated with Business first or a teacher or administrator at any school in the area.  However, after investigating this list especially the elementary school ratings , I observed a fatal flaw in their ranking system .  Quick review: Business First ranks the schools based on a formula that measures socioeconomic and test scores to find the best schools in a given area in Western NY.  The affluent school districts always score the highest, so clearly the system is not weighted correctly.  But, I have figured out a fatal flaw to their elementary school rankings. Now follow me for a second, Business first, creates a socioeconomic rating based on a districts level of wealth.  They have a certain system for establishing the wealth for a district, and I have no issue with the formula.  They then take the socioeconomic status of a district and combine it with the test scores to generate a ranking for a given school. The problem with the elementary

1180 WHAM is losing viewers by the day, not because people are changing the channel, but because their viewership is dying.  The signs of 1180 WHAMs decline is everywhere, recently their news director left to join NPR.  They have juggled Lonsberry's schedule yet again moving him 30 minutes earlier.  None of this will save WHAM.  The problem for WHAM is a stodgy, unqualified management that is fiddling and holding on to an outdated business model. You probably think this the bitter rantings of a lunatic, yes I am crazy.  And at one time, I used to love WHAM, I still think Bob Matthews is a great sports talk show host.  Though he has slowed down in recent year.  He was one of the most innovative sports talk hosts on the radio at one time.  However, in WHAM I see a station, whose website is poorly constructed and confusing.  The depth of the articles make a YMCA pool deep.  Lonsberry and Matthews are the only two personalities that have even semi interesting blogs.  Think about that

A popular question in Monroe county, is what is the best school district?  The answer is generally the district with the highest incomes, because they score better on the standardized tests.  But this overlooks the fact that generally higher income students will outperform low income students on tests.  By now factoring in income into the equation a false narrative develops of the best school districts.  So, what I have done is factored income into the equation in order to establish what the best school district is.  In other words do their students perform to grade level.  So, what was done is school districts were ranked by income, then using the Common Core test results, the schools were ranked in two subjects. Very simply, the schools were given a score of minus one if they were below where they should be according to income.  Because in a vacuum the school with the highest income should score the highest on tests.  Does this punish the higher schools since they are more prone to

I am so sick of everybody talking about how great Wegmans is, and especially rochestarians.  This is 21 reasons that Wegmans actually sucks.  It is a response to the 25 reasons Wegmans is awesome 21.  The parking, if I wanted to have to park like I was at a sporting event I would.  I do not like spending ten minutes navigating a parking lot 20. The Limousine Liberals that frequent Wegmans.  They are all about helping the poor, as long as they are not in their grocery store. 19. The Happy Employees-  Give me the "I hate the world" mentality of the Topps employee.  I am in a grocery store I am there to shop, not find out how much you love your job.  Just scan the groceries. 18. When I am out of town, and run into somebody from Rochester.  They bring up Wegmans, not the Lilac Festival, Sea Breeze, Garbage Plates, Frederick Douglas, or Susan B Anthony.  They talk about a fucking grocery store 17.
