Is there a non-Slo-Mo version? I'd love to see this at full speed!

You can tell he's drunk since he's making a pass.

these are good tweets

For some reason I think "Shark gang follows a boat" isn't the video that should be here

That's the joke. The entire "controversy" has completely bypassed the issue Colbert and his writers were ridiculing in the first place: How in 2014, a team can still be called the Redskins. It's satirizing how we're so numb to the fact that Redskins is a long-defined racial slur but gooks and other words instantly set…

For an organization whose bread and butter is ridiculing established media (often justifiably so), you guys sure are thin skinned.

The possibility of 4000 dead workers isn't interesting?

But but but journalists have been doing it forever, so they can't be blamed!

Yes, let's all vote for one candidate or the other not based on their actual ability to govern, but based on their love for college basketball. U-S-A! U-S-A!
