Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

We’re watching the self-immolation of the leading world power on a level unprecedented in human history.

Petty moves from a petty man.

Fuck these fucking interesting times.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

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

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

I really should read my own blog.

All hail the time of the bunny!

The revolution will be supervised.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

“woke” is the new caravan.

SCOTUS: It’s not “bribery” unless it comes from the Bribery region of France. Otherwise, it’s merely “sparkling malfeasance”.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

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

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

Come on, man.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Let there be snark.

Marge, god is saying you’re stupid.

    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.
