Waterbury, Conn. (AP) - Police in Waterbury say a man ran over a teen boy after he mistook him for someone who snatched his girlfriend's purse.
Um... Whoops? Danny Torres and his girlfriend were driving around, looking for the punk who stole her purse yesterday. Torres saw the 17 year old kid and punched the gas and hit him with his car. Torres got out of his car "wielding a baseball bat, then allegedly threatened to kill the boy and held him until police arrived."
So, Torres looks like the hero to his girlfriend and is positive that he is going to get a little booty that night. He got her knock-off Coach bag back with a half a pack of Newport's, birth control and $1.23 in it, but no, you got the wrong guy! Police proceeded to arrest Torres because his street justice was directed at the wrong person.
Do you want to know what really happened? There was no bag. Torres' girlfriend was just sick of his stupid, cocky, bad ass attitude but was too afraid to dump him so she made up a story that her purse got stolen. She probably saw the first person walking on the street and said "that's the guy Papi!" The purse is fine and probably sitting at he other boyfrields' house in Bridgeport. Torres will probably serve 10-life for attempted murder while his girl gets to laugh about it every night. Ah Mi Dios Torres!
This post is really not breaking down any news story; This will be more of a forum for me to vent or talk a little shit while it is fresh on my mind. If you are not a fan of sports or you have no clue what is going on in the NFL, stop reading now.
For that one person that stuck around, let me get some things off my chest. I have nothing against the Pittsburgh Steelers, last night they came out and beat the shit out of the Jets and I can respect that. Yeah the Jets made it a game and it was interesting at the end, but I knew it was over when I saw the stats at the end of the first half and saw the Jets only had one rushing yard. Congrats to the Steelers for being the better team, I will be pulling for you in the Superbowl.
As for the NFC game, the Packers were able to pull off the win (by beating the third string QB) but Aaron Rodgers wasn't exactly the superhero ESPN has made him out to be. Rodgers had a few nice throws, but nothing compared to the games previous in the playoffs. Congrats to the Packers as well and their fans that have been with them since the beginning; Which brings me to my next point.
After the 2004 World Series, the number of Red Sox fans multiplied 10 fold (not an actual statistic). Fans came out of the shadows and coined themselves a "life long Sox fan." When the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays made their run, Rays hats and jerseys were flying off the shelves faster than they could make them. Who didn't jump on the "Who Dat Nation" bandwagon when New Orleans made their run at footballs greatest award? My question is, where the hell did all of these Packer fans come from?
I have a friend (who will remain nameless), we will just call him "Rookie Cheese Head" (or RCH for short). RCH was asking me in the few weeks leading up to the playoffs, "who should I become a fan of in the NFL?"
I guess his history of cheering for the Giants, and then the Raiders and then the Patriots just wasn't satisfying his football needs. So, RCH decides on the Packers and tells me "I am getting a tattoo when "we" win the Superbowl." Somewhat perplexed on his team decision, I asked "why the Packers?" I mean RCH has never been within 800 miles of Wisconsin, couldn't name any notable Packers other than Rodgers or Favre and is from Connecticut; I don't even think he knows another Packers fan.
Then it hit me. RCH has fallen so deep into the media frenzy that is holding the Packers up on the highest level and he felt it applicable to pull for the favorite because he likes winners. He will say "I liked the Packers before the playoffs," but liking them once they are mathematically in the playoffs doesn't end the bandwagon conversations. He did show his loyalty and get a personalized Packers jersey and a "cheese head" so I guess he is locked into the team as a true fan (at least until a better team comes along).
Since RCH is one of the three people that read my blog, I am sure I will hear a lot of shit from him about this rant. He will say "Oh, when did you become a huge Jets fan?" I admit that I have not been loyal to the gang green before this year as much as I am now. I was a born and raised Denver fan (again, born in Denver). Elway was my idol growing up, and my Mom actually babysat for some of the players' children on the team. Living in CT, it makes it hard for me to cheer for a team I see once a year (not having the games played locally), and since everything I loved about Denver is no longer there, and Tim Teabag Tebow is the face of the franchise, I have laid the team to rest after a 25 year run. I am a born-again Jets fan. Why the Jets you ask? Well I did live in New Jersey, "but it's the New YORK Jets Andrew!" Shut up, they play in New Jersey. Also, judging by this blog entry, I think you can agree I like to talk shit and what team does that better than the Jets?
All I have to say is I wish both teams in the Superbowl (and their true fans) luck and just hope it is a good game. I almost hope that the Packers win so I don't need to hear about all of the team change drama next year from RCH. Ok, I think I have vented enough. For the one person that has read this far (probably RCH), I hope you have a nice day ;-)
Ok, So I took some time off of my blog. The Montauk Monster is allowed a vacation, right? I am sure the three people that read this shit were devastated. Anyways, want to hear a fucked up story?

"MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (AP) - Police have arrested a Middletown man they say brandished a gun and robbed another man whose car had become stuck in the snow."
What is worse than having your car stuck in a snow bank at 3am in a blizzard? How about having some punk ass 19 year old knock on your window while you wait for AAA and rob you at gunpoint.
It gets better. Police were able to follow the tracks from the scene of the robbery to a car that was sitting close by which had two men smoking marijuana in it. How stupid can you be? Hey asshole, if you want to make some money in a blizzard to buy weed, how about you pick up a damn shovel and bang out a few driveways. At the rate of what these plow companies are charging people, I am sure you could get a fat bag of purple haze or some G13 by doing just one or two.
Another thing, who the hell would want to get high and drive around in a blizzard? I am paranoid enough driving in snow as it is, add a few hits and I would be freaking out. Plus, all of the fast food places are closed, what are you going to do when those munchies kick in? Way to think that one through buddy.
