Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Jack Smith: “Why did you start campaigning in the middle of my investigation?!”

This really is a full service blog.

If you are still in the GOP, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

New McCarthy, same old McCarthyism.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

No Justins, No Peace

🎶 Those boots were made for mockin’ 🎵

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

Second rate reporter says what?

Bogus polls are all they’ve got left. Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls a year from now.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Go Senator Whitehouse!

They were going to turn on one another at some point. It was inevitable.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

No one could have predicted…

A lot of Dems talk about what the media tells them to talk about. Not helpful.

The Supreme Court cannot be allowed to become the ultimate, unaccountable arbiter of everything.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

Steelers Win

The Steelers break the Brady and the Phil Simms curse!

Weird ending, too. Actually a stupid play by Polamalu (apart from not being allowed), because it didn’t matter who recovered, the Patriot receivers would never have been able to get back down the field and reset and time would have run out.

Now to watch the post game interview to see if Brady cries or trashes his teammates.

    Detroit comes back from last weeks fluke of a loss to crush the Broncos. Wonder what will be said of Tebow today. Maybe he and Brady can share a good cry together.

    You know, it was going to be a really good day to be Cole until you came up with that one. Brady never trashes his teammates.

    Meh

    Browns lost. The college basketball season begins next week, and all this football nonsense will seem like a bad dream. Kentucky is rated #2, and kept their young guns from last year, from turning pro.

    “Lions linebacker Stephen Tulloch celebrated his sack of Tebow by joining the “Tebowing” craze, striking a prayerful pose near the prone second-year quarterback in the first half.”

    Wish I had seen that.

    Hard to believe the AFC North has three teams with only two losses. Something’s gotta give and I fear it will be my beloved Ravens next week against the Steelers.

    @John Cole: I just peeked. Right now it’s just mockery. But I have a feeling the inspiration will hit soon. I didn’t have the strength for the Chunky Bobo thread. It is my birthday after all. :)

    Interesting factoid: nine of the last 10 superbowls have featured the Patriots, Steelers, or Colts for the AFC.

    And 10 different teams for the NFC.

    Yeah but why the hell did Ben drop back to pass on 2nd and 8 with a minute left to play. Whose genius idea was that?

    Still happy to see the Pats lose.

    I wasn’t able to watch the Dolphin game today. Would someone like to give me a five-word synopsis of the action?

    On a happier note … ZOMBIES!

    Where the hell is Merle? Where are the father and son? Why is the blonde lady so damn whiny? Is it wrong to hope that the little kids don’t make it out?

    I’m not sure Polamalu’s play was illegal. The Steelers never had possession of the ball. The rule was instituted to prevent teams from fumbling on purpose, advancing the ball, then scoring. Could be wrong, of course.

    So how fast do you think somebody would get banned if they used that as their avatar in an Evangelical forum? Is it possible to measure these things in nanoseconds? Might need to synch with the atomic clocks.

    @Mark S.: guess he won’t be happy unless Tom Terrific doesn’t exemplify a certain level of humanity. He should be happy that his team and his franchise are a continuing example of a quality organization, after all, he could be a Redskins fan.

    DC sports radio after a Skins loss is so full of awesome.

    Almost as good as the Ravens fans calling into the Baltimore station during halftime of their game today. I hope some of those folks didn’t actually hang themselves before the Ravens came back.

  32. 32.

    Cacti

    The not so good version of the Cardinals (aka the Arizona team)had a 24-6 halftime lead over Baltimore…

    They scored 3 points the rest of the way and lost 30-27.

    @khead: I am thankful I don’t live there since I am a ‘Skins fan, but the franchise has suffered severely since the death of JKC and there’s lots of folks that live and breathe their fandom thru that team that have suffered, especially since the football anti-christ bought the Cowboys and has enjoyed success despite himself. Not saying that there aren’t a few asshats numbered amongst the ‘Skins faithful but then again they aren’t Eagles fans either.

    Will Big Ben be heading to the club for a victory rape?

    Yeah, it would have been nice if the announcer who was certain that TP’s move was illegal has explained why.

    Sorry to revel in your misery then. Ok, well, not yours really – just everyone else’s around here. The phones will be ON FIRE tomorrow calling in to ESPN 980. Every show will be a fantastic bitchfest. Those always make for fun listening.

    Which brings me to the Ravens…. at halftime I had to run an errand so I tuned into the local “Ravens live” show in B’more. Folks wanted Flacco and Cam Cameron taken out and shot at halftime.

    Also, my wife is from Philly and you are right about their fans. Watch what happens if they lose tonight.

    Also, Stephen Tulloch is my new favorite NFL player.

    And the Ravens come back from 21 points behind to win! And the Patriots lose!! Not a bad day (except for that Steelers thing).

    I agree it was a strange thing for Polamalu to do but I suspect it was just an instinct to go for the ball. I just hope Woodley isn’t really hurt. He has been a beast recently.

    @Kathy: Agreed. I would love to see The Ghost of Al Davis sack Tebow 13 times next week and make him cry right on national television.

    I got no sympathy for the Skins or their fans. The team name is a disgrace, especially since they were the most racist franchise in football for much of their existence. George Preston Marshall once said “We’ll start signing Negroes when the Harlem Globetrotters start signing whites.”
    He was from WV, BTW. Then again, so is Ben Schwartzwalder.

    How about some comments on the Dow breaking 12000 Wrong Again Cole. Not surprised you find things like NFL and fantasy leagues much more important. At the very least it would be a convenient excuse to explain why you are so completely WRONG on everything political.

    @J.W. Hamner:

    Harbaughs is interesting people.

    Don’t know much about John, but if he is like Jack or Jim, he has a flaming temper and a tendency toward sarcasm.

    Jack coached my alma mater to the D 1-AA championship in 2002 and Jim was a part time assistant. The current coach
    played and coached under Jack and worked for Jim at Stanford. We WKU fans mostly love us some Harbaughs.

    Fortunately, I can be pretty confident that the Steelers, Jets, and Ravens will not be winning the Super Bowl this year. Unfortunately, I’m also confident that the Patriots won’t be winning either.

    Preparing myself for another year of those horrible State Farm commercials.

    Now to watch the post season bar scene to see if Rapistberger rapes another drunk college student while his thugs do guard duty.

    Fixed. Brady has been the epitome of class throughout his career. It’s the Steelers QB who is a living, breathing piece of shit, even though his exploits thrill Commander Cole.

    They’ll see who’s not very good this year now! I actually paid more attention to this game than the parade.

    Happy birthday, Yutsano.

    Haha. Tom Brady. What a jerk. He wishes he had the moral character of suspected multiple-rapist, and proven scumbag Ben Roethlisberger.

    Mr. Cole – I wager that you will not be able to find a single instance of Tom Brady “trashing” a teammate to the media in his entire career without resorting to McArdle-level dishonest presentation. Any link to a quote or video of “trashing” occurring and I will admit that the Steelers are the greatest organization in the history of professional athletics.

    sidenote: I love the Pats (shocker) but their defense is an abomination at this point.
