Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

It’s a good piece. click on over. but then come back!!

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

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

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Every day Vance writes another chapter in the book called “Worst VP Pick Ever”.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Never forget that he train is barreling down on Trump, even as he dances on the tracks.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

We know you aren’t a Democrat but since you seem confused let me help you.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

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

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Fani Willis claps back at Trump chihuahua, Jim Jordan.

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

    So Geno Smith is drafted by America’s…oops I mean ESPN’s team the J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS! I hope the best for Mani Te’o, glad to see Desmond Trufant drafted, saw him playing high school ball. Oh got to love that selection by the Browns only because of the colorful name Barkeveous Mingo!

    Even tho’ I’m a Pats fan, I like Rex. Maybe I’m just not used to a coach with an actual personality. But it seems like the Jet’s organization is intent on sinking the franchise. Don’t know how much of that is on Rexie, how much on Tannanbaum, how much on Woody ‘Thanks Dad’ Johnson.

    Since this is the Jets we’re talking about, I will assume it’s Gino Torretta, and not Geno Smith.

    So, did anyone else read that sorority girl email and immediately think that Cole wrote it?

    I will fucking c#nt punt the next person I hear about doing something like that, and I don’t give a fuck if you SOR me, I WILL FUCKING ASSAULT YOU.

    And for those of you who are offended at this email, I would apologize but I really don’t give a fuck. Go fuck yourself.

    This stuff is straight out of the Cole Book of Rhetoric.

    When asked, Mr Smith responded: “Oh man, I am blessed. The only person can thank right know is God……When you think about all the things I have been through in my lifetime, I think it’s well deserved.”

    The things he has been through? Christ.

    I think Geno and the Jets deserve each other.

    ok, I admit to being a sport novice (I barely pay attention to any of ’em), but didn’t the draft happen yesterday?

    jake the snake

    Teh Fat Boyz dominated the 1st round for sure.
    Probably be 75 more years before another player from CMU is the number one pick.
    Not many skill players picked so far. Big year for linemen, skill players not so much.

    Whoa, you mean the NFL draft is this week? I had no idea! It’s not like ESPN has been talking about it more than any of the three major US sports that are actually being played right now or anything.

    Two Ducks on the first day – an OL and a DL. But yeah, we’re just a bunch of skill-position finesse guys.

    The bears have picked players rated lower than any other team. Either their gm can see something otbers don’t, or they have wasfed two draft picks. At least they haven’t picked another safety so far this year.

    dear ESPN and NFL Network, how about we focus on ALL of the other teams that are still making selections instead of chasing your own self driven narratives about Te’o and Smith…. tyvm, the fans of all of the other NFL franchises.

    I always thought it was a little strange that Tebow got so much attention for being a god-botherer. If there is anything common among football players, it’s their god-bothering tendencies. Then, last year, on my TV I saw Tebow and Sanchez praying together before they went on the field. I’m sure it went something like this, “dear god, neither of us have as much talent as the third string quarterback on the Indianapolis colts, but please let us get through the game without butt-fumbling”

    Sanchez was only praying to impress some religious chick. Dude’s a straight baller, as I think the kids say. Unlike St. Tebow.

    @trollhattan:

    Seahawks draft an RB named Christine. Wow, do his parents ever owe him.

    Maybe they named him after a demonic car, not a chick.

    @efgoldman:

    Yeah, it’s a shame the Patriots can’t seem to field a winning team ever with their draft strategy. And that other Rutgers DB only made 1 damn Pro Bowl at CB before moving to safety to save your team’s horrible defense.

    Edit to add: suck it, have another Rutgers DB. LOL!

    @efgoldman: Belichik has traded down pretty much every one of his drafts. He got 4 picks from Minnesota for yesterday’s first rounder.

    Football needs cannon fodder. Billy Fiveaces drafts for it.

    I hope Geno does well, FSM knows the Jets haven’t had a great QB sine Broadway Joe… a thousand years ago.

    He’s been a great QB for WVU, I just hope we don’t suck at the position come fall.

    Must have been a quality day of spider-hugging and general hippiefication yesterday for Cole to miss Day One of the NFL Draft.

    Or did that hot octogenarian minx at the supermarket checkout give Cole an especially fetching, toothless leer and send him into a 24 hour binge of dancing around naked singing “She loves me yeah, yeah, yeah” before tripping over Tunch and being mauled by the Furry White Brute Squad?

    I blame Obama.

    So, Seattle drafts a Penn State DT and here’s what the scouting report has to say about him: “Light in the pants.”

    First, Christine and now, Light-in-the-pants Jordan. Pete really follows his own path, doesn’t he?

  54. 54.

    billgerat

    Everybody was “WTF did they take a QB in the 3rd round” last year and see how that turned out. Seattle drafters, like God, move in mysterious ways. Really, though – a RB? I hope that pans out.

    @JR in WV: Ken O’Brien and Boomer had their seasons. Testeverde had a couple of decent ones, too. Yeah, no Bradys or Montanas in there, but still not nothing.

    I think the problem is that the Jets have just resigned themselves to sucking without having anyone they can say the are re-building around. They just traded Revis for nothing, they have five quarterbacks, they have internal strife, a new GM, and a head coach who has long odds on keeping his job. Not to mention they have another, better team they share the same market with. It’s not crazy to think they throw Geno to the wolves halfway through the season just to generate some excitement and then he gets sacked so often he learns Sanchez’ bad habits and is ruined.

    And damn but I feel bad for Tebow. He’s just a harmless doofus to me, but Rex Ryan really hung him out to dry, he looks like seriously damaged goods now and he might not get a fair shake from any other team.

    Barkevious Mingo? I’ll have to dig through some boxes, but I swear that’s a dwarf fighter/cleric I played in the 8th grade. Fantasy football is going to look more and more like D&D with bigger dice, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
