Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.
There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.
You cannot shame the shameless.
This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.
I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.
The willow is too close to the house.
Even though I know this is a bad idea, I’m off to do it anyway!
The problem people have with Biden’s age is the color of the VPs skin.
Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.
He really is that stupid.

You mean the bumblebee outfits?

I keep expecting George Clooney to walk out and start singing Man of Constant Sorrow in a Stillers uni.

It is very hard to concentrate on anything with the loud buzzing in my ears.

So they broke out the jailbreak outfits again? By the Prophets are those some hideous unis.

What is up with those Bad News Bees uniforms? I’m thinkin’ Belushi when I see that.
Felonius Monk
IT’S SATURDAY NIGHT!
I am waiting for the resurrected John Belushi to enter the game at any moment.
SuzyQ
Those unis are VERY distracting. Totes a fashion DON’T!! History be damned,
elftx
I pay no attention to football, never really have. But my hubby feels he should watch the Steelers in support of JC even tho he can’t really root for them lol.
So he turns the game on and I see a bunch of grown men wearing Yellow and Black Striped “Where’s Waldo” outfits.
Helllooo wth is this????

@elftx: We call ’em the Stingers now.

I can’t help but think of Deebo. Like, all the time.

The best part about being divorced is that I can watch Netflix instead of football. Okay, maybe not the best part.

@KyCole: Well, what is?

The Steelers are dressed like the girl in the Blind Melon “No Rain” video.
Uncle Ebeneezer
The Steelers are definitely the favorites en Mexico.

Why wear a uniform that looks so ugly, and makes the team (and, by extension its fans) look so silly, worthy objects of ridicule? Once, I can understand. Marketing, and all that jazz. But to wear it twice in a season? WTF?
freelancer
Utoh.
Corner Stone
I wonder wtf is wrong with Texans special teams coaches? They cut Jacoby Jones and Trindon Holliday in the same damn season.
taylormattd
What the everloving fuck are your players wearing John?
Holy fuck, those are the most but ugly pieces of crap any sports team has ever put on, and that includes all of the garbage Oregon wears.
My god, they deserve to lose because of those uniforms.
freelancer
@taylormattd:
I’m thinking they’re gonna lose because of their O-line, but that works too.
Ron
oh good. why shouldn’t the defense start playing as badly as the rest of the team. I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.
Raven
Speaking of Hines Ward, HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS!!!!!!

@freelancer:
O-line or B-line, flip a coin.
RinaX
Also, too, WTF with those uniforms?
JPL
@RinaX: Rumor has that Tunch is embarrassed.
jrg
Are others aware of “Epic Rap Battles of History“. Is anyone aware of anything remotely as amusing?
RinaX
@JPL:
You know what really makes it hideous? The tan pants. Why not go with yellow or black? The tan emphasizes just how ugly the rest of the uniform is.
SuzyQ
It’s not so much the pants as it is the stripes. Sorry, but that ish don’t match!! Tan pants? FFS!
And vice versa ….
Just Some Fuckhead
@SuzyQ: And horizontal stripes, zomg?? Fattening!
JPL
@RinaX: They could be pink if they wore those shirts and socks last month. That would be quite a fashion statement.
Raven
@JPL: It’s gorgeous down here on the gulf!

Well obviously- not living with an asshole.
? Martin
Maybe the Steelers figure they could hypnotize the Ravens with those uniforms. I blame Obama.
JPL
@Raven: You missed an ugly Falcons win.
Raven
@JPL: It was the start of the second when we pulled into town. I went and got some frozen shrimp and hit the beach. Caught a really nice pompano in about 39 minutes! The doggies enjoyed the sunset and then we baked that sucker up.
JPL
@Raven: I’m watching the Dust Bowl on PBS and the dunes look the same as in your picture.
Steeplejack
Just came in. I see the Steelers are wearing their Killer Bee/prison chain gang uniforms. I guess the Ravens can’t go retro, because then they would be the Cleveland Browns. Confusing.
Looks like a good game, though. I will observe.
Raven
@JPL: Shit, I meant to set the dvr!
Just Some Fuckhead
@Steeplejack:
Good one.
Jerzy Russian
The San Diego Union Tribune is one shitty newspaper, but I do enjoy reading their sports columnists after a Chargers loss, especially one to the Broncos. I know I won’t be disappointed tonight.
Steeplejack
@Raven:
They’re (re)running it about 20 times this week. In fact, check to see if it’s on later tonight (2:00 a.m. EST here, also 7:00 a.m.).
ETA: Oops, never mind. Just realized you’re not at home. Enjoy the beach!

It always starts with the Star Spangled Banner.
Raven
@Steeplejack: hey, good call though, I can set the dvr on the web!
JPL
@Raven: PBS has it repeating in three minutes… Ten to twelve and then tomorrow at nine is the conclusion. It’s well worth it.
Raven
@JPL: Yea I was fired up now the damn online thing won’t work. Might be because I’m not using Charter here.

The problem with Byron Leftwich is that he isn’t very good.
Felonius Monk
Hey Cole, Can’t you do something to make this game a little more exciting — it’s kinda like watching paint dry.
Poopyman
@mcd410x: Why Charlie Batch isn’t in there is a mystery, although special teams aren’t doing Leftwich any favors.
Poopyman
@Felonius Monk: I have this open in another window, and it’s much more entertaining, IMO. Props to Werebear, who posted it yesterday.
mainmati
Leftwich will be critical to whether the Steelers win. I’m a Pittsburgh native but am dubious whether they can beat the Ravens. I think they can but they will need to be awesome on defense and creative on offense. We’ll see.
Corner Stone
@Felonius Monk:
I’m actually not sure Cole even exists anymore. I hope he’s still alive because his drunken rage tweets @Shoq are the absolute height of hilarity. So that would amuse me if they continued for a bit, but as far as I can tell they might as well be on some kind of loop.
Corner Stone
That’s probably not going to help the Stingers win tonight.
Maxwel
Gronkowski breaks forearm.
Allen
@taylormattd: God, I’m glad someone mentioned the trash that the University of Nike wears.
Felonius Monk
@Poopyman: Now That’s Entertainment!
Felonius Monk
@Corner Stone: Ever since the LadyFriend showed up his behavior has been somewhat suspicious. Maybe he’s been taken hostage — has there been a ransom note yet?
Yutsano
@Allen: Ahh yes, the Fighting Fashion Atrocities.
@Felonius Monk: If the ransom demands ahi, we know what happened.

Don’t read too much into his playdate.

I don’t hate on the killer bees look as much as some, but I gotta say beige skin tight pants probably not a great idea.
Steeplejack
@J.W. Hamner:
I think those are “desert sand,” and, hey, they’re growing on me.

@Raven: awesome photo, love the dogs, captures the beach feeling, almost makes me feel like I’m there.

I love the picture of Bodhi on the troll-infested thread below. I have no interest in football but came here for a palate-cleanser.

This is the part of the game where the officials nearly kill themselves setting up a win for the Stingers. Hopefully, the Stingers will piss it away.
Captain Goto
Quit whining, JSF.
LT
Tracking on NFL.com – did they just lose it on an offsides?
LT
What the – timeout Baltimore?
LT
Ope – that wasn’t a 1st down penalty. Alive!
burnspbesq
Any Sounders fans out there?
Keep your arms at your sides.
Oops, too late.
Corner Stone
Sheesh. My grammie could throw the ball farther than that.
Steeplejack
What a messy end to the game. Is time management a lost art in the NFL?
Steeplejack
@Corner Stone:
I think he’s hurting from being pounded earlier. He hasn’t looked right the whole second half.
Michael Demmons
It was the bumble bee uniforms.
Corner Stone
@Steeplejack: Somebody should’ve told Tomlin the rules don’t let you skip bounce a pass downfield.
J.W. Hamner
I know the questions will be about Leftwich playing hurt, but what is up with Ray Rice? He hasn’t looked good in like 6 games.
Bubblegum Tate
@Steeplejack:
I respect his heart and his competitive spirit, but he shouldn’t have been playing–he was clearly not able to throw. I’m shocked that Tomlin didn’t just pull him.
James E. Powell
@Bubblegum Tate:
I was kind of surprised by that too. When was the last time Batch played? If he can’t, why is he on the team?
Violet
Those uniforms are something else. I only saw a minute of the game but WTF? They look ridiculous.
Captain Goto
A friend of mine speculated that Batch is hurt, too. If so, we* are fucked.

I would think that the blog management would want a new post up pretty quick.

Who won?

Ouch – that has gotta hurt*, John. Still, there is two weeks.
* I don’t mean those uniforms but boy, those are butt ugly. John, will someone there please burn those uniforms before the next game? Please!

@Captain Goto:
I’m a Corvophile, not a Steelerphobe–it just happens yinz are always standing between Poe’s Crows & the postseason.
If all 3 of your QBs are hurt, you could always sign Dennis Dixon off the Ravens practice squad. Last time he was in a Tar&Piss uniform he came pretty close to winning a game in Baltimore.

is this result good for the patriots?
