Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Motown is Joe-Town!
The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.
You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.
People really shouldn’t expect the government to help after they watched the GOP drown it in a bathtub.
I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.
The problem people have with Biden’s age is the color of the VPs skin.
Republicans firmly believe having an abortion is a very personal, very private decision between a woman and J.D. Vance.
Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?
Fight them, without becoming them!
Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.
It’s a doggy dog world.
I’m starting to think Jesus may have made a mistake saving people with no questions asked.
Democrats are back in array!
We are aware of all internet traditions.
I really should read my own blog.
They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.
Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.
Republicans: “Abortion is murder but you can take a bus to get one.” Easy peasy.
It’s the corruption, stupid.
No Justins, No Peace
Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!
Fuck that bum, let’s go Joe!
Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.
Republicans: The threats are dire, but my tickets are non-refundable!

Yes comparing the games from last year and this year (stl v SD) thier is huge difference in the Steeler team. There is a lack of offense fire. Lot of this must come from losing the Bus and from the QB experiencing his own mortality. Stl TOP=1Q-12 min, 2Q-8 min, 3Q-6 min, 4Q-4 min IOWs, the lack of offense stole the stealer defensive edge. Last year you killed him. It was a clase game but we could feel the Stl lurking until the 4th, then putting your foot on our neck. Repeating is the hardest thing in sports. But its a long season.

The Bears don’t suck, so all of you will be hearing BEARSSS a lot in the coming weeks.
BEARSSS!

Here’s a somewhat funny story from today’s newspaper that might take your mind off that defeat.
norbizness
Well, if it’s any consolation, it’s mainly Roethlisberger.

RIP – Steelers of yesteryear.
This year its DAAAA BEARSS.

Try being a Cardinals fan.
We only have two shortcomings here: Blocking, and tackling.
We have a zillion dollar quarterback who is a very classy kid and a will be a great NFL player … playing for a team that can’t do the fundamentals. Very sad.

The Eagles also do not suck. This makes me happy.
Andrew
That’s almost as awesome as when Rush takes viagra to rape children in the Dominican Republic.
Steve
It makes my day to see that wingnuts like Par have been reduced to gloating that Keith Olbermann is supposedly bad in bed. Not much else to be excited about these days, eh friends?
Pb
I’ve got to say, that is a new angle. And Keith must be *really* popular amongst wingnuts–after all, I haven’t seen any of them speculating about whether or not Mark Foley is bad in bed!

Well…the Cowboys suck too…which is sad to me. However, FSU sucks and is now unranked…which is just funny. Hook ’em!
Gotta wear my UT stuff to FSU tomorrow…
Edmund Dantes
The question is whether this is just a bump in the road or is Big Ben is being exposed as not being that good without a running game.
Davebo
He’ll be a great player, but I seriously question his “class” level.
He made a fool of himself with his comments after the Rose Bowl defeat.
Steve
I think he’s a good quarterback – I mean, if you could go 15-1 as a rookie just based on your running game, everyone would be doing it – but he has had a fairly easy road, that much is true. I wonder how many games he’s won where he didn’t even have 15 pass attempts.
As a Chargers fan ever since the Dan Fouts days, I love to see how well Rivers is playing, though. I’m going to give it a little while longer before I lord it over the Giants fans in the office.
SeesThroughIt
I thought the Bears would be good this year, but not this good. They are straight-up embarrassing their opponents.
Mike S
Try being a Skins fan. I can’t remember when the last season we didn’t suck was.
Punchy
Worthlessberger is a mess right now. I think Pitty WAY underestimated the loss of Buress and Randel-El. Losing both WRs while your QB is staring at first his brain matter, then his appendix, in respective formaldehyde jars isn’t a great way to help him out. They must go back to Chaz Batch if they want to win; case closed.
As for my BEARS….HOT DAMN! They’re not just winning…they’re CRUSHING opponents. 36 total points allowed…in FIVE games. Fucking incredible. Best team in the NFL, bar none.
Andrew
I just don’t get why people still love the Skins. I did for about 20 years, but then Snyder took over. No one punishes fans like he does.
ThymeZone
Really? For how long? I’ve always wondered how long the spell lasts when someone “makes a fool of himself.”
Are you referring to this: “I still think we’re a better team. They just made the plays in the end.”
?

It does not make my day to see supposed political discourse reduced to the Page 6 gossip section of the NY Post. I doesn’t surprise, but it doesn’t make my day. What would make my day would be for Par and his ilk to actually engage in rational political dialogue.
No, I don’t expect my day to be made in the near future.

I’m not sure who is more pathetic. The blogger, the gossip columnist, or Par R.
Pharniel
I’m a lions fan.
seriously. The metaphors for how my team does regularly are too innapropriate even for b-j.
Davebo
Yep.
In fact, Matt reminds me a lot of Chris Simms. But he did look good this weekend.

The Other Steve says:
That’s an easy one. It’s got to be TOS by at least a country mile.
Bombadil
Probably 1999 (NFC East champs). Before that, 1991 (Super Bowl champs, January, 1992).
Since then, yeah, not so much.
ThymeZone
Oh. Yeah, he sure made a fool of himself.
Mean Gene
Roethlisberger just keeps trying to do too much, and while he got away with some during his first two years, he’s getting caught this year. Most of his interceptions have just been horrible passes, passes that shouldn’t have been thrown.
He played well in the first half last night, so that gives one hope. He just can’t keep making those terrible decisions. They’ve lost against three very good football teams, which unfortunately might have already killed their playoff chances because of the tiebreaks. Still, the last time the Steelers had a 3-game losing streak they ended up running the table and winning the Super Bowl. From that, I’ve learned not to count this team out.
Steve
The Post is out to get Olbermann in an incredibly hackish way. Did you see where they ridiculed him a couple weeks ago for supposedly “overreacting” to a fake anthrax mailing and going to the hospital to get checked out? Even Hugh Hewitt took Olbermann’s side on that one.
But whatever. I think Olbermann is one of the good guys, but I don’t hyperventilate every time his ratings go up like some of my friends over at Daily Kos. Nor is my own manhood contingent on whether he is good in bed.
ThymeZone
Discretion is the better part of valor, I always say.
Steve
Now that I no longer live in Detroit, I don’t often have the pleasure of watching the Lions any more, like yesterday’s tour de force when they blew a 17-3 fourth quarter lead by surrendering 23 unanswered points. It’s as if they were going out for the fourth quarter and someone reminded them that they’ll never get the #1 draft pick if they win games like this one.
I’d imagine Matt Millen must be the biggest Tigers fan in town. The longer their season goes, the longer it will be before attention focuses on him again.
Punchy
He seems just so more immobile than he was last year. Maybe it’s just my perception, but the swagger and confidence is shot. So many sacks when he could be steppin up for a 5-6 yard scramble.
As for the Lions….ooffff. UGLY game. Almost like D-twah just wanted to lose that…
Punchy
Ken Melhman’s a fucking liar. In other just-as-surprising news, Ken is probably gay. Which means, according to the American Taliban, if he hasn’t molested a child yet, then he’s scheming.
terry chay
I don’t have a television, but I’m not surprised about the Steelers: sophomore QBs and all.
Shalimar
You’re just being overly negative. As a Chargers fan, I prefer to think the Steelers are good and they just got beat by the best team in the NFL. I know San Diego is going to switch gears into Martyball at a critical moment in the playoffs and get their asses kicked, but until then I can bask in the realization that they really are extremely good.
Paul Wartenberg
The Bucs do suck this year. Interestingly, we’re used to it, hell we take a perverted pride in having the Bucs go 0-26 to start the whole franchise. This season, though, it’s the cause of the collapse that has us more worried than the losing streak: Our vaunted defense has suddenly stopped working.
Davebo
ThymeZone
What does his stats or awards have to do with his whining after losing exactly?
Especially considering how they were beaten, mainly almost single handedly by the opposing quarterback?
It would have been easy. We tried hard but Vince had an incredible game and we couldn’t overcome it.
I was amazed he didn’t go until the 10th pick though.
ET
Saints won…….

Steelers suck? What, do you want to win the Super Bowl every year? Try being a Vikings fan. I was one until they got massacred in the NFC title game 41-0 to a decent, not great, Giants team almost six years ago. Since then I haven’t watched more than 10 minutes of a football game. And guess what, I don’t miss it! I could give a shit about the Vikings or any other football team. The Twins, on the other hand…
