But what about the prestige of an NFL franchise?! How can anyone consider tens of thousands of people living on top of each other a real city if they don’t have a bunch of muscular guys wearing the same clothes playing a game to represent them?! That’s why nobody takes those schmucks in Tokyo seriously. Call me when…

Through the whole process, I think Oakland has ignored the economic repercussions of losing the team. The city’s bail bond industry is about to completely crash.
Way better villain than Ramsey and their deaths should’ve been switched. I wanted the visceral satisfaction of seeing Joffrey ripped to pieces but never got it. The character pretty much ended the actor’s career for crying out loud!
American Exceptionalism really is one of the most damaging memes (in the original sense of the word) floating around American politics and society.
One of the keys to understanding American politics is that a large section of the country will not accept a non-right wing party in government. If the GOP or your even more extreme party lost it’s because the other side cheated. Any Democrat is automatically illegitimate and betrays the country and they must be…
Yeah. Democrats are awful at that stuff. But the GOP sets the bar really high with vague grandiose promises with no real plan or meaning: Make America Great Again!
I don’t think you get it. Democrats passed this shit. Therefore it’s bad (and probably illegitimate). There are unfortunate side effects but stopping the left is it’s own reward.

My grandmother just died (the body’s probably not even cold!). When I was a kid, she and my grandfather took us to Mt Rushmore one summer, driving all the way from Indiana. Most of the music they liked I hated and vice versa. However one of their tapes (a ‘Best Of The 50s’ or something) had The Big Bopper and for some…
It wasn’t too soon for Gilbert Gottfried and it isn’t too soon now.
Semi-related dog question: Our shih-poo Sophie has a habit of trying and failing on her first few attempts to jump onto chairs or couches. Every time she tries with a running start and usually a couple stationary attempts lead to face plants until she gets it right. Is this a thing with shih tzus and/or poodles? Does…
I’m willing to judge Irsay a little less harshly. Of course a DWI is a big deal, but the one incident is the only one on his record and he seems for the most part not to be the odious human being that most owners are. Compared to guys like Haslam and Wilf who’ve hurt many more people through their scams, Jerry Jones…
I’ve heard that Glennon likes to go deep as well; oddly enough Ms Lovelace just seems to have much better aim.
I prefer calling Ben ‘Peter the Grey-t’Roethlisberger. Or, for the RPG fans among us, ‘The Grey Render.’ He even sort of looks like one!
Let me take this opportunity to spin a conspiracy theory. The prostitutes weren’t paid to pee the bed, they were there because Trump has a piss fetish. The Russians just said it was over the Obama’s stay basically as a favor to get Donny a little more under their thumb by saving him some embarrassment. It doesn’t make…
You’re really beating a dead horse with jokes like that. Someone ought to give you a whoopin’.
Fuck Ryan Grigson for wasting 5 years of one of the best deals ever for a QB.
Fair point but I’ve seen some anti-Semites use ‘Jews weren’t slaves for the Pyramids, they’re just lying for sympathy.’ It’s admittedly something only the worst say but the dangers of domestic fascism becoming so real make me think it’s worthwhile, even though I’m certain the poster didn’t mean anything of the sort.…
American exceptionalism is a hell of a drug.
My sense of humor differs from a lot of people but I can respect people with those kinds of bounds. I didn’t think you were going after me, I just wanted to make clear that I wasn’t trying to minimize what was/is happening to AAs. (In these Trumpian times I might be a bit hypersensitive since I fall squarely into the…
