Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

We will not go back.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

All hail the time of the bunny!

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

So fucking stupid, and still doing a tremendous amount of damage.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires Republicans to act in good faith.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

That meeting sounds like a shotgun wedding between a shitshow and a clusterfuck.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

    I’d feel fine whipping your punk asses in a 12-team league. If any of you think you can step to the Rex Ryan of fantasy football coaches.

    Jude – putting your best foot forward, eh? I fear though that defeat is all that awaits you.

    Davo

    While I generally just lurk around here and don’t contribute much, I’d be up for it.

    ditto.

    As much as I LOOOOOVVVEEE me some football, I have found in the past that fantasy teams just take too much time to manage, and make me focus on players rather than teams. (I also tend to miss the draft for them and just get leftovers.)

    But I’ve been thinking of getting into one, and this place seems like a good one to give ‘er another shot.

    So, yeah, count me inski.

    After all, you’ll need someone to get their ass kicked each week, and I’m just the guy.

    Mr Stagger Lee has his hoody, his Dan Snyder glasses, the OchoCincho jersey, and Jerry Jones plastic surgery, yeah I’m In!

    Oh, and we’ll need to have the draft on, like, a Saturday night.

    Or do people around here actually have lives and stuff?

  24. 24.

    Campionrules

    Hell yes. I’m already in one of the GOS leagues. Need some ballon juicers to beat up on though.

    Timothy Jaxon

    Yeah – missed getting into the leagues last year due to extended travel, would love to mix it up this time around.

    I personally am the Bill Belichick of FFL coaches and will be glad to participate and separate all you Jets and Steelers fans from your delusions.

    I once ran a league where one of the participants postponed a business trip to be able to be there for the live draft. That is the correct attitude towards FFL drafting.

    @2liberal – I the grungy hoodie look works for everyone, right? I’m mostly a lurker here, but would definitely be up for some fantasy football.

    I usually just lurk and read, but this is compelling me to come forth from the woodwork. Either that, or I need something to distract me from the aftermath of last season’s Ragnarok-on-the-Mississippi.

    danimal

    I could be some more cannon fodder for the league. I’m real good at picking which players are going to get injured on a weekly basis.

    But the Chargers are winning the Super Bowl this year, so that’ll ease my pain.

    Derf

    LOL! Now why am I not surprised Cole is interested in a sports hobby completely detached from reality. Like all his other interests.

    Ha! This place never fails to underwhelm me.

  33. 33.

    Jude

    Jesus, who trolls a fantasy football post? GET A GODDAMNED HOBBY, YOU.

    Also, 2liberal, if you’re the Bill Belicheck of the fantasy football world, does that mean that you go for 47-year-old women in stretch pants?

  36. 36.

    SadOldVet

    Sounds interesting…

    Can I nominate Ben Roethlisberger now for MVR?

    MVR = Most Valuable Rapist

    Which NFL player should I nominate as MVM-gawi?

    MVM-gawi = Most Valuable Murderer – got away with it

    Tenderloin Crook

    It’s called distraction, Derf. You should try it. You seem very uptight.
    I would love to be a part of Baloon Juice’s Fantasy League. I’ll stay out of the auction draft. Too confining

    @Fucen:

    Not completely sure one way or the other about the baby-killer..

    As a 20 year old draftee in 1969, it was more about staying alive and keeping those around me alive than anything remotely related to ass-licking lackies of genocidal maniacs. It was much later that I became aware of the genocidal maniac Kissinger personality.

    that would actually be several steps up in life. anyway, what do you have against bb finding age-appropriate companionship? Should he be going for a newt-gingrich approved trophy wife? or molesting the female help like o’reilly?

    Don’t be so bitter. The patriots will have a good year this year. Everyone else was doing the same things anyway.

    YES! Meanie Greenies is here to defend her title! Where do i sign up? It was Yahoo last year and someone very kind served as commissioner.

    @2liberal: Nah, I just like the idea of him cougar-hunting in a hoodie. I got nothin’ against the Pats. Or, really, any team. I just like the damn games.

    Weird, I must have missed the NFL levying huge fines on everyone else.
