Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Impressively dumb. Congratulations.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Fuck the extremist election deniers. What’s money for if not for keeping them out of office?

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

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

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

The willow is too close to the house.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Republicans in disarray!

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

We are builders in a constant struggle with destroyers. let’s win this.

    Nice timing Soonergrunt. Man does the NFL do openings right or what? Keeping Miley off the stage for starters is a good move. Can’t wait. Switched my play to the Broncos covering but it’s a lot of points and Miller being out etc. Should be great to watch.

    @raven: Lord help me, I’ll be going to NOLA on Sunday to watch my first NFL game with my family controlling the remote!!!

    Still, I’ll deal, as long as I get to see the SAINTS beat those “dawty birds”!!

    Go broncos D. Shut them out but also let Torrey Smith score a few times. (Fantasy football makes me root for very specific and contradictory outcomes).

    @raven: boooooo…hisssss….

    first game of the season and it’s a home game…the noise in DOME is gonna be roaring from the home team fans. Sean Payton is back, Brees is still here and they got Meacham back!!! NOLA is ready to roar!

    Same here. Makes for a strange game watching experience and obsessive stat tracking.

    So what’s with Tony Dungy’s shoes?

    Sounds shallow, sure, but it’s as good a topic as anything they’re talking about while the weather uncooperates.

    WTF?! There’s no weather delays in football! Unless lightning is actually crisping people on the field. Rain?! Wind?! Get outta here!

    ETA: Okay, Al Michaels—whom I hate—just issued a weasely “lightning in the area.” Weak sauce.

    Husband’s car broke down yesterday. It needs a new engine. $3,000 minimum. My chances of coming up with $3,000 zero. Welcome to America.

    Fantasy does completely screw up your viewing pleasure for sure. Come on mother nature cooperate, and lightning is no joke Steeplejack I’ve had it hit 10 feet from my tent while camping and to this day it remains my greatest fear.

    I know that they have time to fill, but Al and Chris are really over thinking the “How the weather delay will affect the teams” notion.

    @lamh36:

    Good luck trying to stop Roddy White, Julio Jones, Tony Gonzalez…and introducing, for the first time…Steven Jackson!!

    Last year’s worst defense, should be up to the job, right?

    By the way, can someone please explain to me the purpose of the “sideline reporter”, other than completely wrecking any type of smooth flow to a broadcast?

    Can I take it that the only reason to buy it the first time was to confirm the obvious assumption that it wasn’t worth drinking? Seriously, who thought pumpkin wheat beer was a good idea?

    @raven:

    This is the complete pussification of this great game. Next you’ll be telling me that they check the players for concussions and stuff.

    Also, just nipped out to get some takeout when the blog apparently took a big dump on itself, and I heard this on the way: “San Francisco Girls.”

    I am required by law to have a visceral hatred of all things Denver Bronco. Which only gets weird when it get confused with Boise State Bronco. So Go Dirty Birds!

    To help conceal how little actual action there is in a football game. There’s a total of maybe 15 minutes of live ball play out of close to 3 1/2 hours of broadcast. They need something other than commercials to fill in all that time.

    @efgoldman: At Ohio Stadium (The Horseshoe) in the mid 70’s, the goal was to subject Lamply to as much friendly abuse as possible. Since it was the Woody Hayes era, ABC and Lampley were with us at least 2-3 time a year.

    I switched to Spanish audio so I wouldn’t have to listen to Michaels and Collinsworth. And no my Spanish isn’t that great but it’s better than those two idiots. When Collinsworth said “you’re not in the inner harbor anymore Toto” at the start of the game that was my cue to either mute or change languages.
