Monday's Hazies - The Champs & Chumps

Hey Peeps and anyone else checking in. A special "Hey" goes out to Hazel Mae.

For those of you who haven't been here before, Monday night entries take a look back at the week or so that was in the world of sports, highlighting some of the more notable performances. To those who have risen above the rest, we award them with an honourary "Hazie" - the lucky few have the title of "Hazel's Hero" bestowed upon them. While Hazel hasn't officially approved this week's winners, we'd like to think she'd give her trademark smile and thumbs up to our selections. Ya...that smile - pretty damn sweet huh?


HAZEL'S HEROES - THE CHAMPS

NHL
We'll start off this week by handing out the hardware to someone Hazel probably knows pretty well - Boston Bruins' rookie Phil Kessel was admitted to hospital last week to have surgery after being diagnosed with testicular cancer. The second time in a few months that a promising young athlete in Boston has been diagnosed with cancer. Good luck to Phil Kessel in his fight against cancer - I'm sure Hazel would give a thumbs up to this one.

The NHL announced this week's three stars - no surprise on who was number one.

Pittsburgh Penguins' wonderkid Sidney Crosby was named the league's First Star. "Sid the Kid" had three goals and 10 assists in leading the Pens to a 3-1 record last week - his big game came against the Philadelphia Flyers, scoring a goal and adding 5 assists in an 8-4 beat down.

Nashville Predators' backup goalie Chris Mason was named the league's Second Star. Nashville hasn't missed a beat since number one Tomas Vokoun went down; Mason was 4-0 last week with a GAA of 1.21 and a save percentage of .958.

Calgary Flames' power forward Jarome Iginla was named the league's Third Star. "Iggy" had four goals and four assists in leading the Flames to wins in two of three games. Things are pretty simple in Calgary - when Iginla plays well, the Flames win.

Honourable mention goes to the number one line on the Toronto Maple Leafs. and Kyle WellwoodAlexei Ponikarovsky each had five point nights last Saturday in humiliating the Rangers in a 9-2 victory. Wellwood had a hat-trick, while "Poni" chipped in with two goals. Captain Mats Sundin showed what kind of champ he is last week - hosting a reunion for former Leafs coach Pat Burns (who is also recovering from cancer) and the 92-93 Maple Leafs. I'm sure Hazel remembers the Toronto team of the early nineties - remember "No Limits" by 2Unlimited?

Last but not least, it pains me to single out any member of the hated Montreal Canadiens - my boy Johnny (who should be blogging here soon) would tell you how much I hate the Habs - but I've got to give it up to Montreal's much-maligned Captain Saku Koivu. In the wake of the Laura Gainey tragedy, Koivu has put that team on his back and willed them to win hockey games during what is undoubtedly a very tough time for that organization. There Johnny, don't ever call me a stupid Leafs fan again.

NFL
Kansas City Chiefs' owner Lamar Hunt passed away last week in Dallas. What this man meant to the NFL would take pages and pages to recount - but he is as responsible as anyone, for what the NFL has become. What can you say about a man that has been inducted into 8 different Halls of Fame? The man epitomized "Champ".

Would it surprise you if I said San Diego Chargers' RB LaDainian Tomlinson was one of Hazel's Champs? Not if you have been reading this page for the last couple of months. Tomlinson had another great game against Hazel's Chiefs last night - typical L.T. kind of night, 25 carries for 199 yards and two TDs; and the all-time single season points scoring record to cap off another great night.

Green Bay Packers' pill-poppin' redneck Brett Favre passed Miami's Dan Marino for number one on the NFL's all-time career completion record (notice I said "NFL" - Warren Moon is number 1 in professional football). I hope that after setting the record, in an awful game, is enough to convince Favre to retire after this year.

Pittsburgh Steelers' RB Willie Parker rushed for 132 yards on 23 carries, and added a TD in a 37-3 butt kicking of the Carolina Panthers. What made the performance notable from my perspective was that it pretty much put an end to Carolina's season - to that I say...GOOD!


EUROPEAN SOCCER
Italian defender Fabio Cannavaro was named the FIFA World Player of the Year - beating out Brazil's Ronaldinho and Marseille's Mad Minator (Zinedine Zidane) for the honour. I must be feeling the Christmas spirit - an Italian, a Canadien, and a Steeler getting nominated for the hardware. Happy Festivus!


HAZEL'S ZEROES - THE CHUMPS

NHL
Phoenix Coyotes' resident retard Jeremy Roenick makes the list this week - the NHL's version of Terrell Owens made news last week for walking out on his team before a game and going out for dinner after being told by coach Wayne Gretzky that he was being scratched. Roenick, who is in the midst of a great year with 1 goal in his last 28 games, told the media he left the arena for the good of the team. Yes Roenick, the ultimate team player, said that had he stayed at the arena it would have been a distraction to the team - because the media would be all over him trying to start a controversy, instead of focusing on the team. This guy is a piece of work.


NFL
Dallas Cowboys' WR Terrell Owens just can't keep his mouth shut - if he's not talking trash, he spitting at an opponent. Owens told the media that he had indeed spit at Falcons CB DeAngelo Hall in last Saturday's game. We won't even get in to the multiple explanations given by Owens - T.O., on behalf of all Dallas fans...please keep your damn mouth shut and just play football. PLEASE!

Atlanta Falcons' QB Ron Mexico is a chump for quitting on his team Saturday. Vick left Saturday night's game with his team trailing by 10 points with less than 2 minutes remaining. When a guy like Marshall Faulk says that he thinks Vick quit on his team - that's saying something. I don't buy this crap that Mora took him out or that he was injured. Let's quote Jim Mora Sr. "Playoffs? Playoffs?" Oh yeah, we tend to agree with Mora that Vick is a coach killer.

New York Giants' TE Jeremy Shockey is running neck and neck with Terrell Owens for the NFL's biggest ass. Shockey had another forgettable performance in a must win game for his team - like T.O. he runs his big mouth 24/7, but unlike T.O. he never shows up in big games. When questioned about whether or not the Giants should be concerned by the loss yesterday - Shockey replied with "Why should we be concerned?" When reminded that the Giants were 7-7, Shockey responds with "There are other 7-7 teams." What a dick.

Chicago Bears DT Tank Johnson was arrested for the third time in 18 months - this time for having six unregistered firearms in his house. I don't even know what to say about this guy - he makes the Cincinnati Bengals look like altar boys.

The Jacksonville Jaguars offence are a bunch of chumps - the turnovers that resulted in 3 Tennessee TDs (to INTs and a fumble recovery that the Titans took to the house). And these clowns thought they were legitimate contenders coming into the season?


EUROPEAN SOCCER
Once again Arsenal Gunners' manager Arsene Wenger lives up to the first part of his first name. Wenger is in trouble again - this time for abusing an official - but check out Wenger's explanation/apology for the incident. Believe it or not, Wenger is French...read the article to see what I mean.

Well, that's it for tonight - remember, if you think I have left anyone off of either list, please leave a comment and let me know. Also, get those questions into Renee before Christmas - she might only have time for one more blog entry before the holiday. Renee_Unplugged AT yahoo.com. Have a great one peeps!

Hazel, I hope things are groovy in your world.

Song of the Night on Hazelspeeps - we are going with a trio tonight for different reasons.

For the coolest chick in the world (no not Hazel or Renee...didn't you read last week's entries???) - my best friend "B" who, as of this afternoon, still had not found this page. I wish this song had come out long long ago. I can't believe I'm featuring this guy...but as my man Jae said "The beat in this song is SICK!"

My Love - Justin Timberlake ft. T.I.
Ain't no other woman that could take your spot my..

If I wrote you a symphony
Just to say how much you mean to me (what would you do)
If I told you, you were beautiful
Would you date me on the regular (tell me would you?)
Well baby, I've been around the world
But I ain't seen myself another girl (like you)

This ring here represents my heart
But there's just one thing I need from you (say I do)

Because, I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sitting on the grass laying side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady
Girl you amaze me
Aint gotta do nothin crazy
See all I want you to do is be…

My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot my love

My love
My looooooove
My looooove
My loooooove

Now if I wrote you a love note
And made you smile at every word I wrote (what would you do?)
Would that make you want to change your scene
And wanna be the one on my team (tell me would you?)
See, what's the point in waiting anymore
Cuz girl, I never been more sure (that baby, it's you)
This ring here represents my heart
And everything that you've been waiting for (just say it, I do)

Because, I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sitting on the grass laying side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady
Girl you amaze me
Aint gotta do nothin crazy
See all I want you to do is be…

My love (so don't give away)
My love (so don't give away)

TI:
Alright it’s time to get it JT
I don’t know what she hesitating for man
(Aye aye) Shorty, cool as a fan
On the new once again
(Baby) Still has fans from Peru to Japan
Listen baby, I don't wanna ruin your plan
But if you got a man, try to lose him if you can
Cause the girls real wild throw they hands up high
when they wanna come and kick it wit a stand up guy
you don't really wanna let the chance go by
Cause you ain't been seen wit a man so fly
(baby) France so fly I can go fly
Private, cause I handle my B-I
They call me candle guy, simply because I am on fire
I hate to have to cancel my vacation so you can't deny
I'm patient, but I ain't gonna try
You don't come, I ain't gonna die
Hold up, what you mean, you can't go why?
Me and you boyfriend we ain't no tie
You say you wanna kick it, when i aint so high
Well baby,its obvious that I ain't your guy
I ain't goin lie, I feel your space
But forget your face, I swear I will
St. Barths, Anguilla, anywhere I chill
Just bring wit me a pair, I will

I can see us holding hands
Walking on the beach our toes in the sand
I can see us on the country side
Sitting on the grass laying side by side
You can be my baby
Let me make you my lady
Girl you amaze me
Aint gotta do nothin crazy
See all I want you to do is be…

My love (looove)
My love (looove)
My love (looove)
Ain't another woman that could take your spot my love

My love
My looooooove
My looooove
My loooooove

I wonder how many guys have thought about Hazel when they heard this song?

Speaking of Hazel (do we do that enough here?) - I heard this track at the Christmas party last night...not sure if Hazel is into dance music (especially 80's house beats) but we could see her shakin' her stuff to this track...super hot! She's cool...she'd be down with this one.

The World Is Mine - David Guetta
The world is mineThe world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine

I believe in the wonder
I believe this new life do can
Like a God that I'm under
There's a drugs running through my veigns

I believe in the wonder
I believe I can touch the flame
There's a spell that I'm under
Got to fly, I don't feel no shame

The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine

I've lost my fear to war and peace
I don't mind that (the world is mine)
You took the price and realize
That to your eyes (the world is mine)

Take a look what you've started
In the world flashing from your eyes
And you know that you've got it
From the thunder you feel inside

I believe in the feeling
All the pain that you left to die
Believe in believing
In the life that you give to try

The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine

I've lost my fear to war and peace
I don't mind that (the world is mine)
You took the price and realize
That to your eyes (the world is mine)

The world is mine
I've lost my fear to war and peace
I don't mind that (the world is mine)
You took the price and realize
That to your eyes (the world is mine)

I've lost my fear to war and peace
I don't mind that (the world is mine)
You took the price and realize
That to your eyes (the world is mine)


Last, and in this case certainly the least - for the newest visitor to our page (they will know who they are when they check in here again). Welcome to the page...well, not really. If Hazel is checking in, she'd know this tune from a couple of cool Toronto boys from the late 80's / early 90's - she probably shook her stuff to this track too!

Wash Your Face In My Sink - Dream Warriors
You wash your face in my sink
In my sink
You wash your face in my sink
In my sink (sink)
You wash your face in my sink
In my sink (sink)
You wash your face in my sink

Simplicity with synchronicity make a mind meld
Revealed if possible like a walk in a mind field
Sadly you get up to bat and take a swing thing
Should I
Shouldn't I - try?
Too late
You sunk into the sink that I wash my face

You wash your face in my sink
In my sink

Tougher
That's what I'm getting
I'm getting rougher
And you beat me?
Suffer
The attempt of an attempt well tried
Well your side tried
But my side will never be denied
Cause I'm swinging it stinging neglection
With an injection of truth
I've come to untwist the twisted youth
How does it feel now that I've got you all to think?
Yeah, and wash your face in my sink

You wash your face in my sink

Here I go I here I go I here I go again
I have a little place to send a little false friend
Who tried to mess me up with little negative thoughts
A little negative taught
Me to never ever leave my fame into the hands of incompetence
That makes sense
So now I change the tune for the tune allows changes
For you to take a breath while your brain rearranges
What I just spoke into a language called speech
You try to catch it but you just can't reach
For you leave a ring around the basin
When you wash your face in
In my sink

You wash your face in my sink

Now the basin is clean to the gleam of the eye
You constantly lie "when dove's cry"
Out that you are not about what you say
The image of the field you reveal and portray
For never ever will I fall fall to the effects of bandwagonism
So please listen
Up not down
For down is the devil
So roll like a boulder and not like a pebble
You roll like a rock, you roll like a rebel
For this is pure pain
Pick ax and a shovel
Hear no command
Hear just warning
If you wake up in the morning
And wash your face in my sink

You wash your face in my sink

Swing on the grounds of the play ground
The wire to the amp to improve the sound
I mean give me an M-I-C that is clean
And witness the warriors of the dream
For the bigger the orange
Is the bigger the peel
Thieves who steal
Get a wheel for real
A spin to infin or until I give a pardon
Me, I never promised you a rose garden
Or nourishment just punishment for a fink
Who thinks he can wash his face in our sink

You wash your face in my sink

Open up the door
Step across the wet floor
You can make it
You can tape it
This rhyme forevermore
Peer into the drain as the water goes down
Why do you frown is the end of the sound

But bring back the rhyme
For the rhyme is evaporated
And all of the sucker MCs
To the Jones is saying
They would
They could
They think
But never ever never dare try
To wash their face in my sink


Peesth Out...Buh Bye!
