How Jeff Fisher kissed the media's ass to avoid criticism that he sucks

You may have noticed as the Rams are off to another lousy season perhaps they will rally for the Jeff Fisher special 7-9 or 8-8, he has already done it nine times in his career. In fact, in twenty years Jeff Fisher has made the playoffs four times ever.  More stats he has not won a playoff game in a decade.  Of the four times he made the playoffs twice he lost at home and the third time he needed a miracle play.  In fact, if not for the Wycheck lateral Jeff Fisher would have a grand total of one playoff win.  Why is that Jeff Fisher is somehow consider a competent or good coach?  You would think the media would be all over this Kotite imposter.  Look at all the negative stories about Rex Ryan, who by any standard is a better coach then Jeff Fisher.  Why because Jeff Fisher shares an agent with many of the NFL media, and he feeds them stories like it is going out of style.  You think it does not matter check this out. Take for example Mike Silver of the NFL Network, he shares the same

Spencerport's Racism exposed in the Urban Suburban Program

Yesterday, was perhaps one of the saddest days in Spencerport the towns history, as during the urban suburban hearing, the raw side of Spencerport's racism was fully exposed.  To review the Urban Suburban program is a state funded program that gives opportunity to minority students in the city school district to seek education at a suburban or higher performing district.  You might think what a great program that has no cost to the town taxpayer, increase diversity in the schools and allow other children an opportunity.  Apparently, there are people in Spencerport that oppose it.  Here is a story on the hearing here: http://13wham.com//news/features/top-stories/stories/urban-suburban-proposal-stirs-up-controversy-18345.shtml?wap=0&app_data=%7B%22pi%22%3A%2242705_1418208271_1886727084%22%2C%22pt%22%3A%22twitter%22%7D An 81 year old man threatened to not pay the taxes if this passed.  An 81 year old man currently benefiting from Medicare and Social Security was worried that so

Boycott the City of Rochester as long as Lovely Warren is mayor

The mayor of Rochester Lovely Warren, she of the Uncle Reggie scandal and the RHA board scandal has stepped in it.  Again, upon the decision not to indict Darren Wilson over the Michael Brown shooting, she posted on her facebook inflammatory statements.  With the line that "the cop had no respect for the life of Michael Brown" basically contradicting the findings of the grand jury.  This statement was meant to be provocative, but this crossed the line. Mayor Warren has taken upon herself in her administration to fire and remove white and Hispanic office holders, to replace them with African Americans.  Lovely Warren like it or not is racist, and antagonistic towards the views of the suburbs. I understand the local businesses are not responsible for the mayor's views, but as long as she is the mayor of Rochester I cannot in good conscience give money to support her racist views.  There are plenty of innocent business owners in the city, but the line has been crossed, no

Best websites for Free Fandeul, Draftkings, and Daily Fantasy Football advice

I started playing daily fantasy football this year.  I have turned a 25 dollar investment on fanduel into 300 dollars currently so I have won.  How have I done without having any experience at this game?  Simple, I listened to experts and took their advice.  I did not have to pay for any premium memberships I just took what was free and what was out there and I have turned a decent profit.  But there is so much fantasy football advice websites out there?  What are the best for daily leagues such as fanduel or draft kings. First, you have to understand daily leagues are different then seasonal leagues, the strategy is different thus the advice has to be different.  When Matthew Berry or ESPN makes their ratings for the week, they are doing it will seasonal leagues in mind.  While Berry will occasionally acknowledge daily leagues in his articles, (more and more recently), he is primary crux of his advice is seasonal, not daily. So where does one go to, to get the best advice on daily

Should Lovely Warren be recalled?

Lovely Warren is the mayor of Rochester, and her term can generously be referred to as rocky.  So far she is barren in accomplishments, yet bountiful with patronage.  Just this week, the board she appointed anointed her supporter Adam McFadden as head of the RHA.  He has no experience in housing or running a business that big.  He now takes over a 62 million dollar business with over 180 employees.  Since McFadden got his job via Patronage how many other jobs at the RHA will go to patronage.  Will he hire based on who you know whether then what you know?  Why was no reason given for Castro's dismissal.  This is maneuver reeks of illegality and demands an independent investigation to see if laws were broken. Then later this week she altered the route of the St Patrick's day parade because of safety.  By this logic should not the Puerto Rico festival be cancelled because of safety.  This change only hurts the business owners (aka the only thing keeping Rochester up and running)

Where is the outrage over Amy Menz's hit and run

Just three weeks ago the Rochester community came together when officer Pierson was killed in the lined of duty.  There were televised funeral services, funds raised for the family.  Condemnation of the assailant.  Two years before that fire fighters were killed, services from all around.  A Fairport teacher was killed in a drunk driving accident, there is a memorial run, the coverage of the funeral was a huge deal. Amy Menz was killed in a hit and run after leaving her mother's house Saturday Night, she was a mother.  The assailants pulled over and then drove off.  Where are the cries of outrage, why is nobody raising money for a reward.  Perhaps, the people who committed the hit and run were not in the wrong, maybe Menz walked into traffic.  However, the assailants driving away seems to impune their motives and gives us a good idea they were at fault.  Additionally, since it was Friday Night it is safe to assume these drives may have been drinking. But there has been no wall t

Best Fan Duel Plays for Week 4 2014 NFL Season

Below I have done all the exhausting research and determined who are the best fanduel plays for week 4 of the NFL season.  I did by who is the best bang for the buck: QB: Aaron Rodgers 9,500 vs the Bears sure he was down last week.  But did you see what Geno Smith did to the Bears, who knows what Rodgers could do. Drew Brees 9200, one of the best QBs in football against one of the worst defenses.  Yes, please.  Spare me the Cowboys, are improved defensively.  They just gave up 31 to the Rams. Matthew Stafford 8600 vs the Jets.  You know who is playing CB for the Jets next week, me.  They have no corners.  Play all qbs at all times vs the Jets.  Bonus is their run defense is great so teams have to throw. Jay Cutler 8,100 vs Packers-  Fanduel is simple you want good players against bad defenses this is the perfect example. Colin Kapernick 8100 vs the Eagles,  Did you see what Cousins did to the Eagles, Kapernick has been a quality ff qb this year. Eli Manning 6900 vs The Redsk

Best Fan Duel Week 2 2014 Fantasy Football Strategies and Plays

I play fanduel, I win more then I lose.  But, no I cannot do it for a living.  But, I can help you win, by reading this blog.  Below I have listed in what my opinion are the best week 2 plays in Fantasy Football in the fanduel salary cap game and system.  I will go via game and list the players I like for this weekend: Indianapolis Colts- Philadelphia Eagles- I love this game for playing fanduel, if you are playing this should be a high scoring affair and you are going to want multiple action in this game.  LeSean McCoy at 9,2000 while high could be a huge bargain.  Indianapolis has surrendered more then 30 points in its last 3 games.  In fact, the only Eagle I would avoid is Foles only because I think there are better quarterback values to be had.  Jermey Maclin at 6,300 and Zach Ertz at 5,600 are great bargains as well. As for the Colts they are a tough team to figure who will get the ball and score the touchdowns.  I personally feel luck at 9,200 is too rich, Pep Hamilton will go

Why Scott Spezzano and Sandy Waters to 98.9 the Breakfast Buzz is doomed to fail

Entercomm is switching their successful team of Scott Spezzano and Sandy Waters from the morning show at 98 pxy to the Breakfast Buzz.  This move is being performed due to the removal of Kimberly and Beck from the transgender scandal in May.  The man behind this move is Mike Danger.  A couple facts 98 pxys morning show will be fine without Scott and Sandy.  Meghan Carter has needed a bigger platform for sometime and is a vast improvement over Sandy Waters.  I know nothing about the new host, but I have no doubt the formula will be the same and that the target audience will not leave since PXY enjoys a virtual monopoly over their target demographic in this market.  Essentially, Scott and Sandy were not successful because they were a great morning show, they were successful because they had a monopoly in this market.  Every market has a morning show such as Scott and Sandy and what they were doing it not unique and most of their bits were played out and stolen.  Add this into the factor

Will Adam McFadden resign over referring to Anderson Cooper as a "faggot"

A lot of people called for the resignation of Kimberly and Beck over a routine about transsexuals.  Yet, their voices are now silent about Adam McFadden's post on his facebook where he used the term faggots above a picture of Anderson Cooper.  It appears to be a shared post but you get the idea.  The D and C called for Kimberly and Beck to be fired for consistency sake they must call for Adam McFadden to resign.

Ranking the Rochester Radio Morning Shows

So, I have listened to all the morning shows in Rochester since Kimberly and Beck left.  And I have decided to rate them and rank them.  I did not include national shoes such as Elvis Durand or Mike and Mike.  Nor did I include 1180, which lets face it is essentially news unfiltered.  Since Chet Walker left there is no personality anymore its just rote news for the most part. 1. The Break Room with Duffy- Duffy has settled into the host roll nicely, the whole cast works together.  And they are funny and witty, with Tommy's comments.  There is no dead weight on this morning shoe which is more then I can say for other shows in town.  Duffy knows sports so his interview of sports people are a little more credible then Moran's who does not know sports as well.  2. 92.5 WBEE- not my cup of tea as morning shows go.  But again there is no dead weight here and they all play a role.  The host has to carry the show as his sidekicks are what they are sidekicks.  But the show works and

How the Democrat and Chronicle delved into anti cathloic bigotry in a bigotry article

I have written previously about how the Democrat and Chronicle employs an anti Christian blogger (who called for the firing of Kimberly and Beck): http://rochesterhate.blogspot.com/2014/05/does-democrat-and-chronicle-employ-anti.html This time an article about David Andreatta about Mercy High School honoring Abby Wambach.  This could not just be Mercy High School honoring its most famous alum.  This had to be a strike against catholic bigotry. Here is a line written in the article with no supporting data: We live in an age in which Catholic institutions fire workers for being in same-sex relationships and rescind awards bestowed upon people later revealed to be gay. Pro Tip: If you are going to accuse an entire institution of bigotry, provides some evidence. Why is it so hard for people to understand that Catholicism has teachings they choose to follow.  It is not bigotry, its what they believe there is a difference. And what David Andreatta leaves unsaid is the vast majori

Did Mike Brown assault the St Louis Police Officer before being shot

So, by now you have heard of Mike Brown the unarmed 18 year old black male was shot by St Louis Police following getting caught shop lifting.  The coverage has gone out of its way to say Brown was fleeing police.  But, as witness say Brown was in custody, how does one get out of custody without using physical force.  This would seem the natural question and would explain the officers actions.  However, none of the news media seems interested in asking the question.  They are mainly interested in having black witnesses (with obvious axes to grind) attack the police for what they saw.  On a side note, if as many people witnessed this event as they claim did it take place in Edward Jones Dome.  Can the media at least attempt to screen witnesses before putting them on TV, some of these people are clearly lying.

Why Comission Junction is better then Linkshare

In the land of affiliate marketing one has to be careful, a lot of the opinions you are being served are an enticement for you to purchase something through their link.  So finding an honest take on affiliate marketing sites is very difficult there are some message boards that are informative but that is about it.  I have been affiliate marketing for about three years now with moderate success.  Most if not all of my success has been with Amazon.  But I am not blogging about them today. I am blogging about linkshare and commission junction (and no I am not going to try and sell you something).  For two years I have tried everything and every angle with commission junction and linkshare.  I have tried posting banners on my website and get  100,000s impression and never had a purchase from a banner.  Banners do not work, and I am talking about putting up 1-800 flowers banners before Valentines day. One of the problems I have had with linkshare and the main reason I support it over Co

Did Dustin Johnson fool around with Allie McKenzie

In the Golf magazine story on Dustin Johnson's suspension it mentions that he fooled around and affairs with two players wives.  One of which broke up a marriage. The second comment here in Deadspin makes a fairly good choice it was Allie McKenzie: http://deadspin.com/report-dustin-johnson-had-sexual-indiscretion-with-p-1614689008?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow They are now divorced.  Here is a pic of Allie McKenzie she is hot.  She is a model and has been feature in FHM according to this Golf.com profile: http://www.golf.com/photos/real-housewives-pga-tour/alli-mackenzie

Best Tuna Subs in Rochester NY

A good tuna sub is outstanding, the problem is too many sub places mail in their tuna sub with substandard tuna or mix.  The bread has to be just right, a lot of times sub places, do not have good tuna subs, because their bread is better suited for an Italian.  With a Tuna Sub you want a soft bread, one reason why Subway's tuna sub is one of their better subs on the menu.  Below I have listed what I believe to be the best Tuna Subs in Rochester (of the ones I have had) 7.  Wegmans-  Face it, everybody loves Wegmans so they grade it on a curve.  Guess what you take the Wegmans name off of it and its a bad sub. 6. Pellegrinos-  I just do not feel Pellagrinos puts the necessary work into their cold subs.  I have tried a lot of their cold subs and none of them really measure up to their hot subs.  Its not just one thing with their Tuna Sub, it all does not work.  As the saying goes get your hot subs at Pellagrinos and your cold ones at DiBellas. 5.  DiBellas- except Dibellas Tuna

How Red State and Chris McDaniel invented false voter fraud accusations against Thad Cochran

Chris McDaniel lost him primary election to Thad Cochran.  His actions since then have caused him to lose his political career.  He has acted like the racist that Democrats often say Republicans are.  Suffice it to say you have seen the carnival barkers such as Erick Erickson trumpeting vote buying by Thad Cochran.  The only problem is the information they leave out.  Akin to how the liberal media edits their reports, Red State and Erickson have devolved to mimic them. What if I told you all this vote buying accusation eminate from one single source who was paid off by the blogger who broke the story.  You would probably say the story is crap, but has Red State mentioned it once, No.  The source of the story is an African American minister who was paid by Thad Cochran's campaign to transport voters to the polls, a common practice in all elections. (shh Chris McDaniel does it too). Read more about it here: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2014/07/chris-mcdaniel-just-wont-gi

Rachael Barnhart's Liberal Bias

Rachael Barnhart is the best reporter in Rochester, NY currently.  She has had the bravery to question everything from the Jazzfest to Lovely Warren.  Her twitter account has over 20,000 followers and her facebook page regularly generates 100s of comments for news items she posts.  But, she also has a clear liberal bias, which she would never admit to but is plain to see.  One only needs to go to her twitter account and observe the many liberal stories she retweets contrasted to the number of conservative slanted stories she retweets.  (guess what there are no conservative stories). Need some examples Here we go: She retweeted this is from a well known liberal blog, she retweets failing to note it is an opinion piece not a factual piece: Dean Baker @ DeanBaker13  ·  1h reality is so unfair to opponents of minimum wage.Job growth was faster in states that raised MW than other states http://www. cepr.net/index.php/blog

Chet Walker gone at 1180 WHAM, downward slide continues for once proud radio station

Chet Walker has now been removed as the host of 1180 WHAM in the morning, after his partner Beth Adams was removed a couple of years ago.  1180 WHAM ratings have been dropping locally, due to their inability to adapt.  This appears to be an attempt to skew younger as the new team is of younger age. Also, an obvious cost cutting move as Chet had been there since 1982 and was no doubt making a lot more money then other people.  Its unclear why you would attempt to go younger when you have Lonsberry from 8:30-12, who skews very old.  The question is, will this move be followed by Bob Lonsberry being removed.  If WHAM is serious about appealing to a younger demographic will they go all the way.

Does HGH use cause LeBron James cramps?

So, game one of the NBA finals is over, and the media has come into roaring defense of LeBron James.  They have gotten angry at people mocking LeBron over not playing with cramps.  Note to Media:  Nobody has done that seriously check the twitter feed.  People are accepting LeBron's cramps for what they are.  Poor hydration issues.  But, god forbid the media actually make him personally responsible for his cramps.  Lets attack a straw man argument nobody is making. Now since LeBron James joined the Miami Heat he has gotten bigger, in 2010 the beginning of the end in Cleveland LeBron weighed 225, he is now listed at 250 lbs (no way in hell).  Who was the last athlete who dominated his sport like LeBron dominates basketball?  If you answered Barry Bonds you would be correct.  What does LeBron have in common with Bond's sudden weight gain and increase to physique when he suddenly became dominant. Well, what do cramps and LeBron with PEDs have to do with each other simple.  Ther

Does the Democrat and Chronicle employ an anti Christian bigot?

                      One of the staunched advocates of firing Kimberly and Beck was a women by the name Andrea Raethka she wrote a blog about how Kimberly and Beck should be fired because they are bigots.  Feels that people need to be educated below you will find a sampling of her statements and quotes from her personal blog and twitter account.  Read the anti Christian and anti Conservative bigotry based on her own qualifications as she articulated in the Democrat and Chronicle she is a bigot.  If the D and C does not ends it relationship with her immediately, they are endorsing bigotry.    Someone defending spanking their kids because it's biblical on Facebook.. I *probably* should have just backed away slowly. @.o   Don Jones fined for Michael Sam tweets = shut your bigot mouth. have we learned our lesson yet Hollywood/sports stars/ famous chefs?   I really don’t know why we’d be surprised when a graduate from Roberts Wesleyan College, a known local Christian c

The Kimberly and Beck Double Standard of the Democrate and Chronicle

The Democrat and Chronicle has been grandstanding , oops I mean covering the Kimberly and Beck controversy and feeding the outrage industry in this country.  I am sure you remember all the outrage from the Democrat and Chronicle reporters from Bill Mahrer's anti Christian rants or some of the anti Mormon comments of Mitt Romney.  Oh, that's right.  But here are some tweets by these "supposedly" neutral reporters covering this issue.  Let us understand, their comments were not what I would term "hateful" or a number of people.  But D and C reporters and the newspaper took it as such.  Here is some tweets: Sports Reporter: Jeff DiVeronica ‏ @ RocDevo 10h Hadn't heard this. Dumb and cruel. Local Radio Hosts, Kimberly and Beck , Disgrace Station, 98.9 w/Transphobic Rant http:// on.rocne.ws/1gQQpHC Dumb and Cruel?  really, what was cruel about as for dumb I believe legit issues are raised about using tax do

The day Michelle Beadle called me an "Asshat" for my opinion

Michelle Beadles is a failed host of an NBC sports network show and is now a current host of ESPNs lowly rated sportsnation.  When Michael Sam was drafted by the St Louis Rams, she had some opinions she had to share.  And it was clear everyone who disagreed with her was wrong. Whatever you think of the Michael Sam making out with his boyfriend, should be your opinion.  ESPN felt the need to write an article about a football player who used the word "horrible" to describe.  How dare he have an opinion.  Some people think that homosexuality is morally wrong.  They are allowed to have that opinion, it does not make them bigots.  A bigot denies a homosexual a job because they are a homosexual.  If a person thinks being a homosexual is morally wrong but does treats homosexuals the same as heterosexuals they are not bigots.  But anyways I digress, back to Clay Matthew's girlfriend. So, after Michael Sam was chosen by the Rams Michelle Beadle took to twitter.  And of course

Ten Things Tops does better then Wegmans

Wegmans to some people is a religion never to be questioned, while Tops is considered the step brother that is never talked about.  I am here to tell you that there are items that Tops does superior to Wegmans.  Try to cover you eyes you liberal elitist snobs that want to ignore all faults in your pagan master.  So without further ado Ten Things Tops does Better then Wegmans: 8.  Chicken Salad-  Tops uses there rotisserie chicken to make a delicious chicken salad.  While Wegmans is bland and without flavor. 7. Putting their specials at the front of the store.  What does Wegmans put in the front of there stores, normally some produce that is in season but obscenely over priced or perhaps the latest and greatest organic wegmans cereal.  What is in the front of Tops store, there latest buy one get one free offering, specials, sales.  What a unique concept? Its like they actually are helping the consumer instead of pushing their latest high priced liberal lovefest food. 6. Deli Counte

Why did Lovely Warren lie about Joe Biden's visit to Rochester

It probably went unnoticed with the multiple lies she has told in the Uncle Reggie saga and speeding ticket.  But this women who had the gall to take credit for an "amazing" two weeks in office.  Took credit for the VP visit.  Never mind Biden went to MCC which has nothing to do with the city of Rochester and or any relation.  According to Channel 8 Lovely Warren went to Washington and told Obama about all the great things happening in Rochester and specifically at MCC.  She is asking us to believe that in the two and half minutes (tops) she got with the president she mentioned an entity that has nothing to do with the city?  Here is the question as the same with the speeding ticket Why Lie? Why embellish?  Just say your excited the VP is coming, do not attempt to claim credit.   But alas no one on local news coverages ever asked if this story made sense so they parroted her original statement.  Does this women realize that most significant Rochestarians think of her as a jok
