Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

I wonder if trump will be tried as an adult.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

Putin must be throwing ketchup at the walls.

White supremacy is terrorism.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

The words do not have to be perfect.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

Books are my comfort food!

Michigan is a great lesson for Dems everywhere: when you have power…use it!

Come on, media. you have one job. start doing it.

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

He wakes up lying, and he lies all day.

“The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.”

Tide comes in. Tide goes out. You can’t explain that.

Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.

It’s pointless to bring up problems that can only be solved with a time machine.

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

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

Their boy Ron is an empty plastic cup that will never know pudding.

The revolution will be supervised.

    Is there a draft in here?

    I actually enjoyed the hoopla of the past couple of drafts. But the NFL needs to lay low for awhile, if I’m a typical fan. To go away, as in the olden times. Between opening week and the Super Bowl it’s tantamount to watching The Roger Goodell Show, and I say don’t encourage him.

    Is it true that Woody Johnson is on “auto pick” because he had a family commitment he couldn’t get out of?

    Stupid fucking Bucs. Only consolation is that the O-line sucks so hard that we’ll get to watch Jame-ass get sacked every other play.

    @Betty Cracker: Look at this way, if it doesn’t work out, maybe you can watch court tv in the future. Oh that other football player that the Pats took a chance, went to the other school in FL.

    just kidding

    @Betty Cracker:My kid was watching ESPN at the gym earlier, and she described Jame-ass thusly:

    “You know that player who was having a fit at his coach, on the sideline, and jumping up and down, and he got in trouble for raping someone? He’s going to be playing in the NFL.”

    (long pause)

    “I can’t tell you any details because the gym doesn’t have the captions on so I can only read the words everyone prints on the screen [chyrons, etc]. I don’t know the football abbreviations because you don’t let me watch it except if it’s Oregon. So I don’t know what he was 3rd in, but I feel sorry for his new coach. Just on behavior.”

    Pretty much captured the whole picture, even without the closed captioning.

    The Jets better take someone on the offensive side of the ball – sick of how Rex always picked a defensive player in the first round. Hope the new regime is smarter, especially since the defense seems pretty well set.

    @efgoldman:

    I don’t understand this obsession with the draft.
    The picks will still be there in the morning.

    I enjoy the draft. I watch it on NFLTV and the guys there are more interesting, IMO. I love watching game film and break downs on each player.

    @Corner Stone: He walked off the field after his ACL. That isn’t a major injury anymore.

    All-ACL team: NFL’s rehab warriors

    he advent of arthroscopic surgery shifted the question ever so slightly: Could a player regain anything close to his previous performance upon his return?

    Only in recent years has the paradigm changed. Punctuated by Adrian Peterson’s 2,097-yard season in 2012, it is now routine for a player to pick up his career where he left off — often less than a year after the injury. Those whose careers are ended or altered for the worse now occupy the minority.

    @raven:

    He walked off the field after his ACL. That isn’t a major injury anymore.

    I’m not a physical therapist, but my understanding is that if they are hobbling it is better (relatively) than if they can walk freely but still in pain. Apparently if they can’t fully walk then it is not as damaged as when it’s completely separated.

    ETA, and anyway, just saying that after Bradford it seems any injury should spook them in an appropriate amount.
