Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Hey Washington Post, “Democracy Dies in Darkness” was supposed to be a warning, not a mission statement.

Fight them, without becoming them!

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

The lights are all blinking red.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

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

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

“Jesus paying for the sins of everyone is an insult to those who paid for their own sins.”

This chaos was totally avoidable.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

Jesus watching the most hateful people claiming to be his followers

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

We need to vote them all out and restore sane Democratic government.

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

Our messy unity will be our strength.

“Loving your country does not mean lying about its history.”

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

    Waiting for the SNF game. Not a Giants fan but I hope they drub the hapless Romoboys into a fetal position for four quarters.
    You suck Romo!

    I have always wanted to see a 2-0 final score in football. But I doubt this will hold up.

    ETA: 3-2 would be hilarious.

    All I know about football is that if I had a team it would be able to kick your team’s ass.

    My only regret is that Barkevious Mingo plays for the Browns and not the Bears. Just because I love his name. Barkevious Mingo.

    That Pepsi/NFL commercial just convinced me that I am “not fan enough” unless I am completely thugged out.

    @Baud:

    Actually the odds aren’t all that bad for the Saints. 20:1 is a whole bunch better than 300:1 which is where the Raiders and Jaguars sit. And better than 28:1 for the Steelers.

    You’ve got to have *a lot* of money stupidity to lay cash on the Jags making the Superbowl.

    And here I thought the whole point of being a Saints fan was to have ones hopes raised to dazzling heights only to see it
    crumble and be cast into despair and anguish from their ineptness and incompetence.

    There have been three safeties so far. That is really weird.

    @Thlayli:

    Jacksonville and NYJ also have safeties in the first quarter.

    Well, the NFL/PA is really pushing the player safety angle this year.

    Thanks. Be here all week.

    Does she not understand it’s Week 1 of the NFL season?

    I mean the yard – and any piece of land for that matter – will still be there after football season sends.

    Ah the Lions, lose an int for touchdown because Suh decided to clip the center on the runback. Then Stafford has a tip/pick the very next play.

  43. 43.

    Temporarily Max McGee (soon enough to be Andy K again)

    Classic Lions: Pick-six brought back due to a low block by Suh, Stafford throws a pick on the following play.

    This is why I thank the FSM every day for my Yooper roots. Go, Pack, Go!

    Buffalo is shooting themselves in the foot, kicking themselves in the nuts, and stepping on their own dicks. IOW, another typical Bills Pats game.

    Jax has to pick up Tebow. Pick him up, put him in the flying wedge offense and they’ll win 7 or maybe 8 games this season.

    @Corner Stone: I saw the damn commercial and why would you assume I meant the black males. Nobody in that spot came off ass thuggish in any sense of the word that I’ve ever encountered, granting a lot of leeway.

    Why is Corner Stone allowed to be a racist but Tim keeps getting banned for hating President Obloodonmyhands?

    Corner Stone

    @JordanRules: The commercial glorified aggressive physical behavior and a lack of manners to those around you. In the context of celebrating an NFL game.
    I’ve never knocked the hat off someone beside me on a couch while enjoying a televised NFL game, so I must not be fan enough.
    They also showed the Cleveland Browns fans, who I’ve always considered to be a model of thuggish fan behavior. Probably should have had Philly fans in there as well to seal the deal.

    JordanRules

    @Corner Stone: Kids chillin on the couch, one grabs the opposing teams beanie off his head in between folks at the store buying Pepsi. Violent, thuggish behavior?!? I guess. Like I said in my initial comment, ‘interesting’ definition.

    As long as they don’t whine and ask for some sort of IRL filter, their manners be damned!!!

    A friend told me about a cocktail that allegedly tastes just like grape soda: equal parts vodka, chambord and sweet/sour mix. By damn, it does taste like a Nehi. A little too heavy and sweet, so I cut it with club soda, and it’s even more grape soda-ish.

    @Tissue Thin Pseudonym (JMN):

    Minnesota beat Purdue 5-3 one year in the early 90s.

    You might be thinking of the 1995 Michigan vs. Purdue game in which Michigan won 5-0. Minnesota did beat Purdue 6-3 in 1991; the rest of the games between the two in the 1990s were quite high-scoring.

    MN / Purdue in the 90s – now there was a powerhouse game. Hard to imagine but I remember the last time the Gopher football won a national championship (I am really old!) and won the Rose Bowl too.

    Then the Southern schools started admitting black kids its it was all over

    @efgoldman: Only thing that’s going to save NE’s ass today is the lack of realization on the other side that you don’t win one point games against Brady.

    Just Some Fuckhead, Thought Leader?

    I have money on New England. I can win five dollars if Brady comes out of the closet post game, renounces football and pledges to win a ladies grand slam in tennis.

    The announcing for the Seahawks-Panthers game was hilarious. They just kept going on and on and on about how great Cam Newton was. On and on they went. First quarter. Second quarter. Third quarter. Late in the fourth quarter. Panthers had all of seven points against a Seahawks defense that was missing four starters, and on and on they went. Final gun, Panthers had seven points.

    Glad the Pats got the win, even if it was ugly. My Twitter-cast told me it was bad. But it’s a win & I’ll go with that.
