Football? What football? I’ve been mainlining the Trump train wreck to such an unhealthy degree that I forgotten sportsball existed. But here are today’s games:
Meanwhile, in the basement parking garage at Trump Tower…
Help?

What is this “NFL” or “football” of which you speak, young squire?

I’m picking Clinton by at least 14.
Go Team Dem!!!

@Corner Stone: Your Texans are getting BBQ’D.

Most of the pundits commenting on Trump’s tape are missing the most disqualifying part of the tapes — the admission that Trump will try to ‘get away with’ whatever his power enables. Our society largely relies on people doing the right thing even if they can get away with wrongdoing, especially among the powerful. Donald Trump has no scruples whatsoever, no shame, and will do whatever his power lets him get away with. Giving him presidential power is extraordinarily dangerous.

I don’t see any cats near that truck. What gives?

@Daulnay:
Good point.

@Amir Khalid: I was looking at the photo hoping to come up with a clever response to your funny comment, and then I noticed the license plate, which I had missed before: PSY*WGN. hahahahaha
Good one, Betty Cracker! I assume you made that lovely image of the wagon just for us? Love the license plate.

Nice thing about my two “local” teams, the Deplorables and the Ravens, playing each other is that I get a halfway decent game on the other channel: Jets vs. Steelers (in their throwback bumblebee uniforms).

Fuck that GO DAWGS!!!!

@Daulnay:
That sounds like a nice place and I may want to move there some day. Which country are you in?

Don’t know how combative the debate will get tonight, but all the talking heads, whether on CNN or MSNBC, looked like they were ready to start punching each other. Guess the strain is starting to show.

@WaterGirl:
If anything’s Photoshopped, it’s Trump’s face in the window. The logo’s also along the back of the side of the truck.

The photo is from Kill Bill Vol. 1. It’s the vehicle Kiddo uses to escape from the hospital. Perfect for a color comment on current Trumpian times!
My ‘Hawks have the week off, and the only other team I’m even vaguely interested in watching are the Falcons, and that only because Seattle’s former defensive coach, Dan Quinn, was hired as Atlanta’s new head coach. (That means I wish them the best unless they’re playing Seattle. Which they do, next week. Which should be awfully interesting!)

@redshirt: Heh heh heh. Mine is an evil laugh.
ETA: Gloating is bad and I should be ashamed, but it’s been so many years since the Vikes have been this good. I have to enjoy while I can before they fall apart and crush all my hopes and dreams. Again.

@CaseyL: Tarentino once said in an interview that he kept that truck and actually drives it on occasion. The internet being what it is, people checked google earth for recent images of his house, and yes, it was parked in his driveway.
Ruckus
Hard to believe that Wyoming would issue that plate. Not impossible, just hard to believe.

i’m already sure most saw, but…
ICYMI: @Lin_Manuel on #SNL first time i watched nearly the entire show in a LONG time!!

@Ruckus: isn’t that Texas? I’d chalk it up to a clerk who either didn’t get it, or did (“heh, heh… Hey, Beavis, look at this…”)
CaseyL
@Mike J: I’m surprised he lets the public know where he lives, to look him up on Google Earth! Wonder how many hopefuls leave screenplays on his doorstep overnight.
raven
Arf!

@WaterGirl: @Ruckus: Ah, that looks like a Maryland license plate. Certainly not a NY plate.
raven
@MattF: Texas

@debit: Your team is solid. The kicker position seems to be your only weakness, and it could be major. Last year’s playoff game, for example.

Isn’t Tom Brady a Trump supporter?
Someone should ask him for comment on TapeGate…i mean wouldn’t it scene be their duty to do so?
Mr Stagger Lee
@raven: That’s right Go Washington Huskies!!! Oh you didn’t mean that. Anyhoo I have that movie at home and I love that scene when The Bride confronts the two sexual predators, especially the one who owns that truck.
Tenar Darell
My cousin-in-law mentioned that the Browns uniforms remind her of Dunkin Donuts’ colors & now I can’t unthink it.
Sorry (not sorry) ??? (Why yes I’m feeling particularly ornery & evil today, been watching the car crashes all weekend).

“We haven’t verified those leaks yet but it raises questions…”
MSNBC just now. Your liberal media at work.
Corner Stone
No. We’re not getting a fucking salad for dinner tonight!

@raven:
I second the motion. My daughter is at the game and enjoying an early Dawgs lead.
Mr Stagger Lee
I saw an ad for the movie Hacksaw Ridge, I wonder if that is about Desmond Doss, the only acknowledged Conscience Objector to receive an Medal Of Honor. That is a story that needed to be told. The Documentary on him was good.
Mike J
@CaseyL: I don’t think he advertises where he lives, but it’s pretty hard to keep it secret.
raven
@Steve in the ATL: I assume she drove over this morning?
redshirt
@Corner Stone: You don’t make friends with salad.
raven
@Mr Stagger Lee: Yes
Steve in the ATL
@raven: actually she went Thursday evening! She said it never got that bad.
raven
@Steve in the ATL: Huh, she must have a place to stay over there.
eta Duh, that was a dumb statement!
Steve in the ATL
@raven: as much as we don’t approve, she has friends at USC!
Sister Rail Gun of Warm Humanitarianism
@Mr Stagger Lee: Yes, it’s about Doss. His MoH citation is jaw-dropping.

Wow, Browns on their 3rd QB of the game.
Poor Browns. :(

@debit: I have always said that if you’re a A student you don’t get to brag about getting an A on your test, but if you don’t normally do that well and you get an A, you get complete bragging rights, and no one should think less of you. I think that applies here, too.
WaterGirl
@Mike J: Oh my god, that is a real truck? I thought for sure it was photoshopped!
p.a.
Brady looked rusty.
Kenneth Kohl
That’s an impressive set of wheels Ivanka is driving around…
redshirt
@p.a.: Rusty like a knife!

@Steeplejack (tablet):
I’m glad I’m not the only person who likes the Bumble-Bee costumes!
Mrs J thinks they’re cute.
ArchTeryx
@WaterGirl: Real enough. As pointed out above it was a prop from Kill Bill Vol. 1, and Tarantino kept the truck afterward. Even drives it around on occasion, presumably just for the yucks.
