Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
How stupid are these people?
Hot air and ill-informed banter
If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.
The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.
Republicans don’t lie to be believed, they lie to be repeated.
We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.
Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard
When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.
Accountability, motherfuckers.
So many bastards, so little time.
Everything is totally normal and fine!!!
If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!
You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.
Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?
Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.
Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.
Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.
Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.
Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.
The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.
The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.
Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.
When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.
There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

So what number did the Steelers give you?

When did they stop telling people when kick-off will actually take place? I hate flipping.

Nice blog you got here. Football.

Sorry to hijack this away from the NFL a bit. Did anyone see Jennifer Granholm’s interview on TDS last week? Impressive.
Granholm for President 2016?

@parsimon: So is someone making you come here?
Omnes Omnibus
@Raven (formerly stuckinred): A judge made you join the army; maybe one sent him/her here?
Baud
@Omnes Omnibus: What crime could be so heinous?
Raven (formerly stuckinred)
@Omnes Omnibus: No shit. Like this is something new here! And besides, it took all fucking day to get a football thread up Saturday.
Arclite
@General Stuck:
That’s right. Goddammit.
Intelligent. Knowledgeable. Charismatic. She seems like the complete package. I guess the booby prize is a SCOTUS appointment.
Raven (formerly stuckinred)
@Baud: Ha, well it was a series of offenses but the fake draft card was the nail in the coffin. Something about “federal” offense.
eta , it was VERY common during the 60’s.

Hmmm. Go Washington?

@Raven (formerly stuckinred):
I was actually asking about punishing someone by making them frequent this blog. (Facetiously of course :)
But, wow, my life is so dull.

McNabb is out of gas, Vikes need to start Ponder. I have more hope for the Wild than the Vikes this year.
Oh well, in a couple of weeks my UMD Bulldogs will begin defending their NCAA mens hockey championship – lets go dogs!
Dee Loralei
I know this is football, but please someone Front page the Lawrence O’Donnell rant on police brutality at wall street tonight. That needs to go viral!
Raven (formerly stuckinred)
@Baud: Sorry.
Raven (formerly stuckinred)
@Dee Loralei: It’s an open thread, rock on.
parsimon
@Raven (formerly stuckinred): Oh, no. Apologies. I was frustrated. I’m a fan of drumming circles, and I’d started to roll my eyes.
In any case, yes, apologies.
Baud
@Raven (formerly stuckinred): No need. I was actually curious about your story, but I didn’t feel comfortable asking.
Raven (formerly stuckinred)
@parsimon: Aw, you don’t need to do that.
Raven (formerly stuckinred)
@Baud: Hell, people talk about shit here that I know nothing about all the time. For instance, the next thread is about someone they go on and on about and I have no clue who she is. All this open thread and topic shit means nothing to me.
Gin & Tonic
@Raven (formerly stuckinred): Right, everybody had a fake draft card. They were ridiculously easy to fake, and good enough to buy beer with.
Hill Dweller
@Arclite: Check out the extended interview on The Daily Show’s website.
She would make a hell of a running mate. I’m just sayin’…

Raven is Track Palin and I claim my five pounds.
Baud
@Raven (formerly stuckinred): LOL, yeah, that next thread was over my head as well.
Raven (formerly stuckinred)
@Gin & Tonic: Yep, they had a sheet of paper in the Chicago burbs, draft card, drivers license, marine corps discharge and ss card. You buy em, fill em out with a typewriter and you were in business. When I look at pictures of me when I was 16 I am amazed there were taverns where I could drink.

Jennifer Granholm is indeed absolutely terrific. There’s got to be a place for her. If she’s interested, of course.
MikeJ
@parsimon: Granholm was born in Canada.
parsimon
@MikeJ:
I know! Is there really nothing she can do in national government, then? She can’t run for the presidency, but could she be Secretary of some department (if she were interested)? I don’t see why not.
I don’t know enough about her areas of specialization. We do need a woman like that, if she’s interested.
MikeJ
@parsimon: Couldn’t be prez, too much trouble for veep. Other cabinet departments are in the line of succession, but presumably they could skip her. Really just more a matter of getting her through the Senate when you’re talking about those posts. So who knows?
Suffern ACE
That’s the Rex Grossman I remember. Reminds me of Favre. He’s a gun slinger, don’t ya know. The announcers should start talking about how much fun he’s having out there.

I had sideline passes to UF vs. Vandy in 2001. I’ve never seen a more graceful, athletic QB. That summer, the guy made it to the finals in a 3 on 3 basketball tournament when 2 of his teammates didn’t show!
That dude is one of my all-time favorites.
MikeJ
Tired and the Soxen are stinkin up Camden Yards.
Tired because I hiked here today.
Somebody fix dinner.

@Arclite:
The brilliance of her appearance was in their bookending it with asshat supremo Mitch Daniels the day before. The difference could not have been starker. How is it he’s allowed to even share our oxygen supply?

The entire MNF team, including Hank Jr. should be banned from trying to speak spanish.
darkmatter
Apparently it’s Field Goal Night on MNF. https://twitter.com/#!/jephjacques is doing his version of the game. Truth be told, I’m getting a lot of entertainment out of it.
The Dangerman
Sox lose and Rays win; Sox should thank their lucky stars they pulled the win out last night in the 14th.
Gin & Tonic
Bye, bye Red Sox.

This Red Sox collapse can only mean one thing: better change the playoff format next year!
I love this.
burnspbesq
@The Dangerman:
Also, Braves lost and Cards are tied with Houston late.
Angels trail, but it’s early.
MikeJ
@Comrade Luke: It’s not as if they only started talking about it in September.
burnspbesq
We can haz Champions League open threads tomorrow and Wednesday, yes? Europa League isn’t worth an open thread, so no need to bother on Thursday.
Comrade Luke
@MikeJ: Nope. But let’s be honest: most of this wouldn’t be happening if Boston & NY weren’t in the same division.
The Dangerman
@burnspbesq:
I’m figuring a 1 game playoff between the Sox and Rays; I don’t think the Angels have it in them.
Edit: If a 1 game with Sox and Rays, has location been determined? I think the pitcher would be Lackey for the Sox. Poor guy’s been getting some bad pub.
MikeJ
@The Dangerman: Rays have a better head to head record, so in a one game they’re the home team.
MikeJ
@MikeJ: To add: In the unlikely event of a three way tie, Rays get to choose between two home games or one on the road.
Geoduck
I try not get caught in really intense sports tribalism, but Washington’s mascot is a freaking racial slur. I hope they lose and keep losing.
MikeJ
@Geoduck: Husky is better than calling them chubby.
Oh. You meant the other one. Nevermind…
The Dangerman
@Geoduck:
What if they changed their imagery from an Indian Chief to John Boehner? Not quite red, but close enough.
MattR
@MikeJ: Nationals?
@MikeJ: You have to go with the one road game if you are the Rays, yes?
MikeJ
@MattR: I was referring to U of W. It’s still disconcerting to me every time I hear the local newscasters say, “The Husky Women won again today….”
@55You would think, but on the other hand you get to sell tickets to two games.
Geoduck
@MikeJ:
Eh. It’s kind of a shame they didn’t stick with the original name, the Sun-Dodgers. More appropriate for the area. I still hold out hope there will someday be a team called the Seattle Sasquatches.
MattR
@MikeJ: Yeah, I know. The Nationals were the only other Washington team I could think of to try and continue the joke. I originally was gonna ask what was so offensive about Seahawks but they are not a “Washington” team. Would have worked much better if the baseball team was still the Senators – then I could have argued it was an insult but not a slur.
Cacti
As sure as water is wet, a Tony La Russa-managed team will underperform in a high pressure series that they should win.
Damn, damn, damn.

What a wondrous Monday NFL game we have here.

Imagine being Tony Romo: You suit up with a cracked rib, step on the field and realize your receivers and center must be on loan from your high school football team.

@Cacti:
That really is pathetic. The Astros have lost 104 games. If we had promotion and relegation in baseball, they would be a short-season Class A team next year. And the Cardinals still find a way to lose?
Corner Stone
@burnspbesq: Yep. Suck it.
burnspbesq
Angels esta muerto. Kendrick strikes out with the tying run on base.
Arclite
@Hill Dweller: Yeah, saw that. I only watch TDS online. Good stuff.

@MikeJ:
The department store, Bullocks, in Los Angeles, used to have a “mature” line of clothing for women which they labeled “Lady Bullock”. It still makes me snicker.
