Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Stop using mental illness to avoid talking about armed white supremacy.

“When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, they’re gonna use it.”

Bark louder, little dog.

Let the trolls come, and then ignore them. that’s the worst thing you can do to a troll.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

It may be funny to you motherfucker, but it’s not funny to me.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

When we show up, we win.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

You are so fucked. Still, I wish you the best of luck.

Not so fun when the rabbit gets the gun, is it?

Come on, man.

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

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Oppose, oppose, oppose. Do not congratulate. This is not business as usual.

Consistently wrong since 2002

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

The republican caucus is covering themselves with something, and it’s not glory.

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

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

    @redshirt: Hey, LeBron was called for traveling twice this game. The announcers were quite surprised. Of course a couple of plays later he clearly took three and a half steps, shown twice on replay, and nothing.

    This game is rigged.

    Debbie Wasserman Schultz is stealing the game from LeBron.

    Series is over. I had hoped for a competitive series but this is like the proverbial baby seal Cole mentioned.

    Man, this game wasn’t even close to exciting. Le sigh.

    I love Steph Curry, but the way he chews his mouth guard grosses me out.

    LeBron James should consider playing in the Big Boy Conference next time his contract comes up. An entire career in the Whoever Has James Goes to the Finals Conference makes it tough to judge his accomplishments.

    that OKC series was amazing. Another one of those moments where the entire pro game changes because the talent and the coaching makes all the old ways of operating obsolete.

    And then we go back to this. Cleveland might be the fifth best team in the league. Maybe.

    Pro Football talks, and real sports walk at this blog, except for futball. And, if the Pens are in something big, sometimes hockey.

    This place calls itself a full service blog.

    Maybe we could get dachshund race coverage?

    @jl: Why is basketball a real sport in your mind while rugby, skiing, and fencing are not?

    @redshirt:

    That stuff drives me nuts. Really crimps my enjoyment of the game. I keep silent lest I be accused of being Abe Simpson advocating the underhanded free throw or something.

    @efgoldman: Well. everyone else was demanding the sports they want. This is a privately owned blog and it features what the owner and the people to whom he gave the key want to feature. Anyone who doesn’t get that is confused.

    @Omnes Omnibus: Of course they are real sports. But when have rugby, skiing, and fencing been covered by this blog? Maybe you misunderstood my comment.

    Assuming Cole bothers to read this comment thread, I guess he will get pissed off at the commenters who are griping and put up an NBA post with a embed that starts just before the final buzzer sounds. Which would be kind of funny, and I have great ideas for snotty responses to that. So, I look forward to that kind of BS for the third game (if it is needed ha ha har har!)

    @jl: I didn’t misunderstand your comment. You already got my point. You are unlikely to get basketball threads here. Deal with it. I live with the lack of Hahnenkammrennen coverage here.

    @Omnes Omnibus: Cole put up a thread on NBA finals in the fourth quarter, and there entirety of the post consists of ‘There’, dripping with contempt. An obvious provocation, for which Cole deserves A Punch in the Neck. Any commenter who is a basketball fan who does not protest will have shown weakness and will be crushed. Crushed! I tell you.

    And you didn’t even bother to mention dachshund racing, so the hell with you, you dachshund hater.

    @jl: @Omnes Omnibus: You’re both assholes for not mentioning the hawks as well as the hounds at the field trials. WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE HAWKS??

    As a Cleveland native and yoooge LeBron James fan, I was kinda hoping Cole would let the whole night slide by unnoticed.
