Ooooh, yeah, well, it’s gonna require some extra auditing to remove the engrams associated with this event. Don’t worry, you’ll maybe be fully clear in 30 years or so. Maybe. But probably not.

“Conservatives follow the rules and work hard for what they want,” she recalled a fourth grade teacher lecturing. “Liberals are loosey-goosey, they ignore rules and kill babies. Now, which are you: conservative or liberal?”

Oh, but banging that squeaky toy hammer makes Goodell SO happy!

I’m not a Pats fan nor am I an apologist, but I find it nearly impossible to not view NFL discipline through the ballghazi lens now. Meaning, that stupid, ginned up bit of nothing could’ve been taken care of as an equipment violation and quietly put to bed, but instead good old Rog subjected the world to endless…

...wha...I mean...would you look....I just...c’mon...

“In an unprecedented move, the Jaguars have announced that this season Blake Bortles will be portrayed by a grizzled character actor.”

It’s just good ol’ opposition to change (which isn’t to say that it’s not also potentially racist, per se). Many in our country still have the reflex view of “an American” as a white person, but we’re slowly becoming more diverse. Many European countries are struggling with this as well.

Well, in truth it’s possible to have friends/relatives/coworkers, etc. with whom you connect on some things but are opposite on others.

Wow, EA has been phoning in these updates for a long, long time now, but this is absolutely nuts. No one noticed these glitches? What utter BS. The cynical greed routinely demonstrated by EA and the unconscionable, half-assed annual iterations of this game are why I stopped buying it a long time ago. And clearly…

Yeah, that was the end for me.

I agree with that, and I feel that way about almost all politicians. It’s impossible to get to any level of power without playing the games.

Right - in the NFL’s case it’s just a marketing angle, paying lip service to patriotism, etc. It’s all a hollow exercise. Goodell, et al would sacrifice live kittens at the 50 yard line before every game if it increased viewership and increased revenues.

Yep. I don’t get it either. We have holidays to pay tribute to our military and those who have served. The National Anthem IS NOT a military tribute, it’s about pride in our country.

What about gun nuts who protest for their gun rights by walking around in public with assault rifles strapped to their backs? Is that OK? What about KKK or nazi parades?

I’m sorry, but this is nonsense. There’s no legal way they can call it a “Super Cut” without that training!

There’s doin’s a transpirin’!

These colors don’t run!

Well, he says he wants to start a conversation about an issue. So, he can’t voice an opinion without backing it up by devoting his life to social work?

On a side note: Carl Sagan is easily my favorite cosmetologist of all time.

Yes - exactly!
