Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Glad to see john eastman going through some things.

Is it irresponsible to speculate? It is irresponsible not to.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

This fight is for everything.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

The words do not have to be perfect.

Now that Beasely Reece is out of the booth, is Randy Cross the worst sports announcer covering NFL games?

And, do you think he is wearing the home or away jersey for the Vikings?

    Cross usually savages the Vikings. And with the deadly one-two of Theismann and Maguire still on ESPN, is yours a serious question?

    Not even close, John, not even close. The whole categeory is all about Dan “Let’s Face It” Dierdorff, Paul “You’re Talking Abouting a guy who can flat fly” Maguire, and Joe “that’s a good football play” Theissman.

    Yup, the only question about Dierdorff is:
    Is his name Dick Dierdorff or Dan Dickdorff? He’s the worst.

    I do have one suggestion for Fox; don’t allow Troy fricking Aikman to call NFC East games. He actively roots for the Cowboys and against the rest. Last week he had a dilemma when he called the Giants/Eagles game. He solved it by actively rooting against the Giants. It’s annoying to watch. He went off on a rant about a illegal contact foul. He kept saying that the pass was uncatchable. Only problem? The foul occurred, and was called, before the pass was thrown.
    Moose Johnston isn’t much better, but at least he seems to try.

    John, you’re lucky; Beasley Reece does the local sports where I live! (CBS3 in Philadelphia) He even does his attempt at humor with pre-taped “skits”; the last one I remembered, he acted as the arbitrator, the eagles’ rep, and T.O’s rep just before the ruling came down in that whole debacle.

    They also used him playing piano and singing a blues song about T.O. leaving…I don’t know what kind of producer gives him this kind of freedom…

    Beasley Reece. There’s a guy I (thankfully) haven’t thought of for a while. ESPN has the worst crew, but Cross as an individual may be singled out for suckiness. He must hate the Steelers. I especially enjoyed him saying that while the touchdown drop that was being reviewed wouldn’t be a catch in the field, “in my mind” it should be a TD. We spent the rest of the game mocking that. “While I see Bennett was tackled for a loss on that run, in my mind they should assume he wasn’t and ran it in and give the Vikings the touchdown. Because if wasn’t tackled he would have scored”

    Cross is the worst, without a doubt. I’ve watched games with mute turned on because Cross was the announcer. Better to listen to nothing than to Cross.

    As a Redskins fan I hate to admit it, but I enjoy games called by either Aikman or Moose Johnston. I find both to be knowledgable, amusing, and unbiased. Based on the comments above, am I not paying close enough attention? Regardless, I’d take either over Randy Cross. Thank God the Redskins are in the NFC.

    I didn’t get to see the game, but I’m with Pooh. Cross usually has about as much use for the Vikings as the Sunday Night crew has for understatement.
