July 26th, 2023

    I had nuns whack me with rulers and board pointers. I had a couple paddles smack my rear end by priests. I had coaches that called me a ”fat ass” and “queer.”

I wonder if I could go back and file a lawsuit against them?
Here I am driving a beat up car, renting an apartment and wearing jeans with holes in the pockets.
I don’t deserve living like this… I can’t remember the last vacation I went on.
Oh wait, I remember now. I took the Amtrak to Pittsburgh and saw my dad for the last time.
My life sucks because of the abuse I’ve had at the hands of nuns, priests and coaches.
I’m going to hire Jackie Chiles and sue all of the above.
No….. don’t worry! I’m just bullshitting everyone.
I’m actually the person that I am because of those nuns, those priests and those coaches. I drive an old Blazer and I am a career Arb Clerk because of the decisions that I made in life.
Sister Mary Philomena, Father Lonnegan and Coach Hutchinson instilled the integrity and work ethic that I try to use everyday. They gave me the straight F’s in life that make me a strong man.
FOUNDATION: FAITH, FAMILY, FUNDAMENTALS and FRIENDS.
I’m not sure what happened up in Evanston, but I’m sure it is similar to what has happened in Columbus, Ohio and Bloomington, Indiana.
Coach Fitzgerald is cut from the old school. He could probably be compared to Coach Woody Hayes and Coach Robert Montgomery Knight.
Unfortunately it’s another era and Coach Hayes and Knight would never survive in today’s world. They ended up failing at the end in their era.
My oldman always told me that a man can make a decision in a split second that could change the rest of his life. That sure happened to Old Woody on the sideline of a bowl game.
Today’s quote is from The Ohio State head coach, Woody Hayes.
I met Coach Hayes at a funeral home when I was a boy. He talked to me about my grades and if I treated people kindly. He asked me if I obeyed my parents and went to church. Then he asked me what position I played on the gridiron.
Coach Hayes made his Freshman spend a couple hours a week learning grammar and literature in the locker room after practices.
All of the nuns, priests, teachers and coaches that pushed me hard also cared for me and wanted to see me succeed.
….. and because of them I have succeeded.
I don’t have the beautiful wife, the beautiful house and the beautiful car. I do have a strong Faith in God and a strong Faith in myself. I get up every morning and work my dick off. I try hard not to call the guy who didn’t use his directional a "fucking jagoff" in front of the Shepkids.
I’m not sure what happened at Northwestern. I’m sure some things happened that young men and women in today’s world couldn’t handle. Unfortunately now it’s a political volleyball in a media circus.
I’ll tell you one thing. I’d send my kids to play for Coach Hayes, Coach Knight and Coach Fitzgerald in a heartbeat.
It’s Humpday and it’s gonna be a hot son of a bitch out there.
Take precautions!
If you see your Jewish friends today and they don’t seem very happy, let them be. Today is a very sad holy day for them.
