Even if they do, John, the game is on NFL Network, so nobody will know.

For those without the NFL channel, here’s a great video of Ann Coulter calling Huckabee a weakling on his disbelief in evolution.
And if that’s not enough hilarity, read Rush Limbaugh’s take on the Big Bang.

Yalla!

Guess ol’ Reverend Huckabee aint pretty enough to be called a faggot, eh?
Alan
Heh heh.
I’m just amazed that Rush and Coulter don’t seem to get that they created Huckabee with the stupidity they shovel.
Tom
What about the other Pitt… they gotta big game tonight too.
Jen
I don’t like things that suck. I like things that are cool.

I told Thers, so I tell you:
Have yourself a sudsy, sudsy, solstice, may you not run out of beer…
Jen
Changing the subject to alcohol, since I am having some, have you ever tried Belgian peach lambic beer mixed with champagne? It’s damn good. Festive, too.
demimondian
Urkgh.
John Cole
And they tell me Hola Fruta sounds gay…
Jen
Raspberry is also good.
I’m a GIRL dammit.
I am not meant to drink straight Macallan 12 or whatever it is you’re drinking over there.
Or Southern comfort with Dr. Pepper for that matter, either, Demi.
Jen
And both the champagne and the lambic are gone, and there were only 3 of us.
It’s not what you think.
Bob In Pacifica
Sorry. A good beer or Jameson’s. Otherwise, what’s the point.
I have no plans to buy NFL Network. Either they’ll give up this crazy idea or Congress will mandate that I get it while being tortured. Or briskly interrogated. Whatever.

-> Parker out for the season
Aww, what a shame. The Giants without Shockey may be going nowhere also.
demimondian
Jen — Urghk.
And, like I said, the problem I had with Ms. Coulter was that she couldn’t count and or watch discards. That she had such hideous taste in alcoholic concoctions was not a huge issue for me. [Yes, her first name was Ann. No, she was neither tall, thin, nor blonde.]
Krista
Here now, you’re just perpetuating stereotypes, darlin’! (takes another sip of her Crown Royal on the rocks.)
Krista
And I’ve tried raspberry beer.
It tastes like ‘Tussin.
4jkb4ia
Davenport hurt! That is not good. Sincerely.
Jen
Mixed with champagne, that is the trick.
More power to you, Krista!
Krista
Champagne? Now we’re talking. ;)

You’re in the playoffs. Mazel tov.
Bob Costas on the radio: “Healthy and with a little luck, the Rams could be 10-6”. There has actually been some improvement. In the first half of the season getting any kind of offense was like pulling teeth.

hey, john, i feel your pain. i am a red sox fan and a steelers fan. at least my sox have done some good lately.
The Grandest Panjandrum
Lambic. Trippel. Abbey ale. Quadruppel. Saison. Ho Ho Ho! Now thats what I call a Merry ChriFSMas. We are taking a trip to Belgium next year so I’m have been brushing up on my Flemish. And beer drinking. I like to call it “training.”
They have caused thousands of Yankee fans to be placed on suicide watch. That alone is enough to warm the heart of any Mets fan.
Dreggas
I am pretty sure this was not a proposition but just in case…John I like you but I don’t LIKE you, sorry buddy.
Andrew
So you only had 3 or 4 bottles of each, then?
jimmiraybob
I usually just slip in and out quietly but I just have to say that I hope you guys have learned your lesson from the drubbing that we allowed you to give us tonight. I’d say that we gave you all several solid minutes of nervous tension. Take that.
Go Ra….. oh nevermind.
myiq2xu
Thank God Steely McBeam wasn’t hurt.
Ranger 3
I would prefer the Steelers had Parker healthy… so they won’t have any excuses when they flame out in the playoffs.
Sensitive Pony Tailed Girly Man
Lambic is beer, but only in the technical sense. Sort of like the Washington Redskins are technically a professional football team.
Dave L
Not to worry, John, the impenetrable Steeler defense will carry them.
All we have to do is figure out what happened to the impenetrable Steeler defense.
And, by the way, if YOU’RE bummed about Parker, just think how Roethlisberger is taking the news. He can expect about 10 sacks a game now.
Cassidy
It’s beer that’s flavored with fruit instead of hops. Personally, it’s one of my favorites.
Steelers, schmeelers…someone beat fuckin’ New England already. That’s all I want to see.
FYI, my DirectTV package comes with the NFL network, and it isn’t any of the sports packages.
The Pitt-Duke game was great.
Sensitive Pony Tailed Girly Man
Sorry for that bad analogy. It’s unfair to compare Lambic, a fine quaff however you categorize it, with the Washington Crybaby Johnnies, who are a disgrace to PROFESSIONAL Football on the field and in the media room.
in canaduh
Hey John any thoughts on this?

Jen
The beauty of peach lambic mixed with champagne, is that it’s like a Bellini, but, and here’s the great part, with more alcohol. It’s win-win-win, as they say on the Office.
Cassidy
…is that you have to drink the whole bottle once you open it.
Jen
I’m already disturbed enough that we agree on Lambic and the wonderfulness that is a Duke loss, okay, Cass? In the little Venn diagram that represents our respective universes, we’ll put those two things in the middle.
Cassidy
If it makes you feel better, I’m more of a strawberry or black currant guy, when it comes to Lambic.
myiq2xu
My favorite beer is the next one

I missed the game go I didn’t hear how Parker got injured. Did he get his sack tore off? Yeah, that would hurt.
cleek
if you, as i, have grown weary of trolls here on BJ, i bring tidings of comfort and joy; comfort and joy: as a Pastamas present to all of you, i’ve written a Greasemonkey script that will disemvowel the comments of people you don’t want to read, on this blog (i also have similar scripts for Obsidian Wings, Matt Yglesias and Washington Monthly).
here it is.
Jen
Ack, a Merlefest-obsessed computer geek? Cleek, you’re my dad.
The Duhks played at the Hideaway BBQ a short time back. They kicked much butt, and the fried pickles kicked any butt that was left over.
4tehlulz
Jesus, that Washington Monthly script would crash my browser. Kevin Drum probably has the worst trolls in the blogosphere.
cleek
i wouldn’t quite call myself obsessed with Merlefest, but i can’t think of a good reason to turn down a five-day weekend of camping, drinking, and sometimes listening to live music with friends.
cleek
heh. it works fine :) but, yeah, of all the scripts i have, my WM has by-far the most people to filter. after my script gets done with them, about a fifth of the people there end up talking about pie.
Jen
Yes, Merlefest is good times, although we rent houses because we are wusses. My folks start planning Merlefest in approximately July of the year before. I usually just go for the weekend and bitch all of Saturday about how many people there are.
cleek
that’s why you gotta go on Thursday and Friday – nobody’s there! the porta-johns aren’t overflowing yet and there’s no line at the BBQ stand.
Punchy
Worthlessberger is in some trouble. Davy cannot carry the load, as he’s too long been only a 3rd down back. Bad Ben is about to pull a Jenna Jameson, and know how it feels to be pounded while laying on one’s back for a stretch. Yikes. Better hope Those Long Haired Freaks on yer D can hold N’england to only 59 points.
I cannot believe Pitt hits that trey to win the game. What a sac move that was. Too bad that sorry cracker from Duke, probably an All-American, was too limp-wristed to nail the bunny at the end. Figures. Duck Fuke.
4tehlulz
Hopefully John, someday you will see the Steelers win the World Series, like the Patriots did.
Jen
yes, but, all appearances to the contrary, I do have a job…
edmund dantes
Yeah. I know what you mean. I mean it’s not like the Steelers have won a Super Bowl in the past 2 years or anything. God they suck!!!
Andrew
I wholeheartedly concur.
cleek
i’d recommed a vacation day, but vacation days are a consequence of the liberal fascist impulse.[1] only a fascist would deny his employer the benefit of an honest day’s work.

I keep having the same instinctive reaction to every quote from Lucienne’s mutant son – “He didn’t really say that, did he?”
His book is like satire written by a half-wit with no sense of humor. Is Doughty Pantload just a wingnut spoof of Stephen Colbert?
cleek
same here. it’s mind-boggling.
and that makes me feel confident that, aside from the page numbers, my fake citations will probably turn out to be accurate in some manner.
a spoof of a spoof of a disingenuous hack ? Goldberg is either the smartest, or the dumbest, person alive today.
demimondian
I’m following DPL’s dictum the way he truly meant it…I’m taking a vacation day and working at home.
Yes, I am a total loser. (OTOH, I’m leaving in about an hour to go pick the oldest up from college and bring him home for a month. So I guess I am not a COMPLETE loser…just an almost complete loser.)
Punchy
I can just picture you grilling him on his cosecants, null sets, and partial derivatives while he nurses The Hangover to End All Hangovers and blares The White Stripes in his 80 GB iPod and puts money on the FAU/Memphis game tonite…
Bombadil
Remember when you were young and could actually multitask like that? Those were the days.
Jen
Vacation days are for Europe, the Caribbean, the Outer Banks, and God willing someday a three week culinary and wine cruise to South America, Cleek.
demimondian
You’re right, Punchy, that would make me an even more complete loser.
Realistically, my guess is that we’ll load his stuff into the car, pour him into the passenger seat, and he’ll fall asleep as we leave the campus and sleep all the way home. After all, why nurse a hangover when you can sleep it off, instead?
Keifus
The NFL network sure has a lot riding on the three league games it’s airing this year. I mean, their ads attempting to extort viewers into paying for extended draft selection analysis in June, or for watching Jason Sehorn banter with Eddie George over extra-super-advance fantasy strategies aren’t going to be so blazingly effective.
Punchy
For merely $10 dollars, I’ll give you some supah-dupah advanced clandestine double-secret probation fantasy strategies: dont draft Frank Gore, and pray you play the guy who does at least 3 times.

Just a reminder to all:
Tomorrow is Global Orgasm Day.
Celebrate the season.
