...Seeing as me talking hockey is like playing the outfield on stilts with a frying pan for a glove, I offer something I know something about; drinking and getting caught doing it on-camera.
Now that’s how you do it (nice snag by The Stool). Boring game. Your team’s losing. WHAM! Whip. It. Out. And. Get. It. On. Wonder if that was Tyler Seguin’s dad?
OK, I’ll stop talking hockey now before my pucking awful hockey knowledge shows it’s pimple covered mullet-haired head.
I can not even fathom how much time it took this genius/madman (one in the same, really) to pull this off. The design alone...then you gotta shave that shit. Wow. Bra-fahkin-vo, farmfellow. This tribute makes anything any of us have done or will do look pretty amateur hour. And I’m totally cool with that. Good shit. S’GO BEEZ indeed.
Yeah yeah, “Fitzy where you been?” - “What the fuck, no videos in like 2 months?” - “How’s the Bruins bandwagon feel, Mr. Tom Brady On A Mexican Waterslide Assclown?” - ALRIGHT! I hear you! I do. I had to, umm, go pay the bills and shit. Especially since I’m not doing POCKET MONEY this year (I’ll allow you a moment to compose yourself over this tragic loss). But we’re getting the band back together. And by the band I mean I’ll have some time to kick the tires and light some GFY fires. Heck, maybe I’ll make a video or 3 with a couple laughs in them over the next few weeks. YOU JUST NEVER KNOW, YOU FAHKIN’ HUMPS!
Anyhoosiers...I’m as psyched for the Stanley Cup Finals as any bandwagon-jumping, genuine fan who just doesn’t watch every game and will freely admit hockey is his #4 sport of the 4 majors in Boston (stop kidding yourself, Revs fans). I am. I really can’t fahkin’ wait. it’s the most excited I’ve been for hockey and the Beez since the days of Lemelin and Moog (no, I didn’t have to look those names up, thank you!) It’s gonna be puckin’ awesome, and I think the Bruins can do it. My call? Beez in 7. Whatchoo got?
So yeah, let’s fahkin’ do this, Beez! The city of Boston’s streets are aching for another of Menino’s famous “Wolling Wally” duckboataculars.
And yes, I’ll be on Bax & O’Brien, Rock 102 Springfield (rock102.com) Thursday at 8am to recap Game 1, talk some Sox, bring some opinionated misinformation to the masses.
And double-yes, I meant it when I said lots of new videos soon.
I made my last appearance on The Bax & O’Brien Show for a month on Thurs Feb 10th, as I prep for my annual sports hibernation/pre=spring training powernap (if you wanna listen to any previous Bax & O’Brien audio disasterpieces of mine then CLICK HERE). A long season of Pats madness, especially one that ends in dickpuncheriffic fashion like this past one, does take its toll on a hump like myself. So as to rest, refresh, recharge and a bunch of other R words that mean mostly good things, I take to my annual retreat. Not that I’ve been making videos at a breakneck pace or posting 5 times daily or nothing. But in order to bring you, the fans, freaks and fuckheads, the highest-quality low-brow sports commentary and such this coming year then it’s best to go back to the lab for a bit. We know the C’s and Beez are gonna make the playoffs, and with that comes a lot of viewing, chirping, drinking, bitching, worrying and tweeting, plus there’s the NFL Draft (and I need to think of something ut of this world for April 2011 because the Jets fans are gonna come after me worse than ever this year). AND, much like I imagine is the case for you I’m so friggin’ excited for the upcoming Sox season it’s ridiculous. Just foolishly excited, and I don’t want to get my Sox off before it’s time. Got a TON of new videos lined up for the season, so best to remember it’s a marathon, not a sprint, people.
A picture of Fitzy, taken right after the Pats devastating playoff loss to the gaddam Jets.
This isn’t to say there’l be a total shutdown. No, the reactor core would melt and there would be foolishness and toxic inappropriateness spilling all over. I’ll be sure to regularly drop nonsense on the Twitter (@fitzygfy) and Facebook (facebook.com/fitzygfy - be sure to LIKE me...which sounds so dumb). There might well be a 3rd season of POCKET MONEY coming down the pipe, thus allowing me to continue my repayment and restitution to all you goons who have tuned in and supported over the past coupla years. And if it comes to be stay tuned for dates, times locations and such so we can give away as much of Uncle NESN’s money as possible. I’m back on Bax & O’Brien come St. Patrick’s Day. Hoping to organize a few shows in the area this spring and summer. New merch. Holy nutfarts, it’s gonna be a HUGE year. So drink up, KEEP CALM AND BRADY ON, Pats fans, stay tuned, party on and talk soon. And hopefully we’ll all be rocking it like a trick show UConn QB in no time.
Sorry for the delay in posting videos from last Sunday’s Pats/Ravens tailgate, folks. A few were errantly posted earlier with a tech glitch, which is why they’ve been pulled from the YouTube for the moment, Don’t worry, they’ll get fixed and re-posted this fine eve. Until then here’s a hot load of things ‘n stuff ‘n junk ‘n shit for you read, watch, mull over, consider, enjoy and scoff at...
How fantastic was that Yankees loss last night!!??!! Well, some might refer to it as a Rangers win, but baseball busters like us enjoy looking at the glass half full of unhappy Yanks fans. Oh baby! Josh Hamilton, you have convinced me that I should only enjoy ginger ale on a regular basis. If you can have that much AND cause that much Yankee fan unhappiness powered by just THAT kind of ale? I might have to rethink my inebriated ways. ALSO - if you’re looking for a visual reminder as to why we hate the Yankees and their ass-hat fans so much then do enjoy THIS DOUCHETASTIC GIF FROM 30FPS.
And now - CJ Wilson - buddy, you were on my fantasy team this season, and you were good. Really good at times. Better than expected more often than not. I HATED when you killed the Sox on July 18th at Fenway. Cursed you out! But now..now, to think that you can drive the stake through the hearts of the Yanks and their fans, who surprisingly weren’t in attendance in the late innings last night? Oh buddy - time to folow you on Twitter (@str8edgeracer) and DO WORK! GO GET ‘EM! You got millions of exra fans on board that CJ Wilson/Rangers/ bandwagon today. Hope the weight isn’t too much. Claw their eyes out!
Other such nonsensicals...from our pal Braden, b.f.k.a. (better fahkin’ known as) Big Head from The Karlson and McKenzie Show on WZLX, 1007FM in Boston, comes the early Christmas gift tip-off of the year: THE KEGWAY!
Greatest tailgating invention EVER.
Be sure to listen to this week’s ESPNBoston Patriots podcast. Mike Reiss and Tedy Bruschi always deliver a good listen with plenty of in-depth analysis and behind-the-scenes info. But also this week they answer a Twitter question (@FitzyGFY) from yours truly. And people accuse me of being shamelessly self-promotional!
Speaking of shameless self-promotionalism...don’t forget to listen to The Bax & O’Brien Show Thursday Oct 21st @ 8am for their weekly chat with...YOUR OLD PAL FITZY! Here’s to hoping we’re drinking some cheap champagne, or ginger ale, and celebrating, having an on-air Yankees elimination party (Eddie Andelmann just read that and went on a hot dog safari).
And of course our pal, TuukkaTime, continues to drop high-quality Bruins postgame reviews. And young Tuukka proves that he’s learning by using an old trick from yours truly to start off this video, which celebrates a big Beez win (I know it’s early, but do we smell some good things Bruin @ the Gahden this season?)
All this AND a huge Pats game coming up in San Diego Sunday, and THEN the Celtics home opener against Tuesday the 26th against The Three Flamingos? Good times, people. Crack a cold one, or 5, live it up, new videos coming shortly, and GFY!!!
Welcome home, Deion. You should have never left in the first place. But you’re back where you belong. And while your job is not to come in and make anyone forget about Mossman and his downfield dynamite anytime soon, it’s nice to know TFB’s original crush is back in the mix. And I’m stunned more people aren’t psyched about this, like walking by a changing booth in a department store and “accidentally” catching some girl’s sideboob kinda psyched?!? Branch still has the goods, the tools, the tricks. You watch - he’s not gonna light it up like the recently departed #81, nor will he have SB 38 or 39 kinda games anytime soon. But what he does know how to do is find ways to get open and hit those soft spots, the soft spots that TFB loves to hit him in. yeah, this is getting a little bromoerotic. I said it! But so what...they got a good thing going, and we need more of those kinda good things in that locker room, on Gillette’s Field (and several other opposing fields to come), and in the huddle. No, I’m betting Branch isn’t what he was, in terms of burst and explosiveness. But what he is...is Deion Fahkin’ Branch. And with a group of young wide receivers in need of guidance and advice and tutelage (one of my favorite sports broadcaster and wrestling commentator words), and Branch is gonna bring it. I love the way this offense is going. I love the way this team is headed, mixing vets with a lot of rooks and young guys on the rebuild. Don’t say I didn’t tell you this team is only going to get better and better, and I’ll go out on a ledge/limb/your mom’s dick and say it now. The Pats are going to the playoffs.
Here’s DFB back at practice today (photo from the Herald) - looks pretty shahp if you ask me. And you didn’t. But I’m telling you anyways. So suck it.
You’d be smiling from asshole to elbow if you just got sent from Seattle and Hasslesnack to Foxboro and TFB, too!
And how did it all work out; Maroney for Branch? Umm, OK!
I also forgot, me being Mr. #1 Hockeyfan and all (sorry, I’m just being honest rather than Captain Bandwagon), that TuukkaTime is back. Shit, c’mon, there’s been JUST a little bit going on of late so you’ll have to excuse me that I forgot to post his first coupla vlogs. Well don’t worry, cuz the kid you love to love for his passion and fanatic love of all things B’s and Pats (and forces us to try and overlook the fact that he’s a Skanks fan) is ding his thing again, and he’s doing it well. His postgame from Game #2 (cripes it’s mid-October, the idea of thinking about hockey right now feels as foreign as seeing Randy Moss back in a Vikes uniform...just fahkin’ weird)...
Couple other things...
I love the guys (no homo) over at PATS PROPAGANDA, good “by the people who drink beer and watch Pats games with the people” blog. But for shits ‘n giggles have you checked out FUCK YEAH WES WELKER yet? Shouldn’t all blogs or websites be named after what you say when your favorite slot receiver makes a big catch for another Patriots first down?
Free November 12th? Busy? Well, canceling your effing plans and get your ass to the 3rd annual Franklin SEPAC Comedy Fundraiser Show. The money goes to charity. The comics are fantastic. The beer is cheap. Buttloads of prizes, auctions, raffles and more. I think there’s gonna be a breakdancing clown that shits ice cream. Lady Gaga’s gonna be there. Serious fun. YOU READ RIGHT...GAGA!
OK, maybe there won’t be a clown who shits ice cream, but we’re looking. So be there, and GFY!
PS - Tune in Thursday at 8:05am for our weekly sortschat with Bax & O’Brien on Rock 102 FM, Springfield (rock102.com), and look out for my big dumb ass filming a tailgate video around Foxboro’s lots this Sunday. Been a while since we did some old-fashioned beer-soaked tailgate video magic. Find me, say you saw about it on this shitty website, then say “Whoa, double GFY!” and I’ll give you a koozie. No bullsheet. It’s that easy. Like dangling a double cheeseburger and a bottle of Old Crow in the air when your mom answers the door. DEAL SEALED!
