   if you’d like a truly fine digistif for your football:
   

   Bloggers don’t care. They just don’t. They don’t care if anything they say is one hundred percent pure bullshit. If they can feel good about themselves and extract one more day of joy out of their meaningless non-blog lives but snarking in someone’s comments section, they will.

   The accusations about Kos being a Armstrong Williams-esque shill for Howard Dean are bullshit. Everyone knows it. Why are we even bothering trying to legitimately counter it? It’s bullshit, we all know it’s bullshit, the right-wingers all know it’s bullshit. But they know the “Al Gore invented the internet” line is bullshit too, and you still see it in weblog comments.

   Oliver Willis or Jesse Taylor could write 2,000 of the most eloquent, intelligent words on the dangers of the current Middle East crisis. Within the first five comments, some dipshit loser will simply respond “oh, I suppose you’d rather have the army run by a guy who raped a retard in ‘Nam, wouldn’t you?”

   {emphasis added}
   
   it’s a pull-quote from a blogger that appears on Duncan’s site.  Given Duncan’s formula for assigning responsibility, Mr. Black takes 95% of the responsibility for that.

   Personally, Oliver putting out 2,000 of the most eloquent, intelligent words on any topic, including food, would mean the seventh sign of the Apocalypse.

   … but that’s me.

   Go Eagles.

   I’m sure that you’re good to your mother, and a wondeful dancer, but what the fuck does that have to do with Martha’s diary entry?

   …he’s proud of his post somewhere else and wants to share??

   I fear the Patriots.  I may have to get ultra drunk next Sunday to insure a Steelers win.  And a monumental hangover.  But I’m willing to take one for the team.

   My Mom will be so proud…

   I will never, ever misunderestimate the Pats again.  As much as it pains me to say it, Martha was right on the money.  It would have been a completely different game in the dome. 

   BTW, Scott, I wish I had your problems.  I’m a Redskins fan.  But not to worry, with that defense and another year under Ramsey’s belt, look out next year…..please?

   Just you watch.  Our defensive coordinator, the tastefully-named Gregg Williams (tip o’the cap to G. Easterbrook) will depart during the offseason to some other team.  Because we can’t catch a goddamn break in Washington.

   What have you heard?  I heard that a while back, but the last thing I heard was that he was staying.  Say it ain’t so.

   Why, oh why, does the sports media obsess with offensive statistics? 

   “There’s no way New England can stop Payton Manning this year!”

   If I had a nickel for every time I heard that this week, I could spring for Michael Moore’s friggin’ Roux-En-Y, that fat freak.

   As much as I dislike cliches, this one is till true….

   “Offense sells tickets.

   Defense wins championships.”

   Interesting, my security word is defense.

   I don’t really give a good goddamn about the NFL, but for you Steelers and Pats fans, hey–good for you.  To the Colts and Vikings fans out there–hey, sucks to be you today.  I guess there’s next year, huh?

   So, can we get the whole Superbowl four-quarter Budweiser commercial thing out of the way pretty soon and usher in Spring Training…please?

   Oh, look…my secret word is “leave.” Fine, I can take a hint.  Guess I’ll take my ball and go home.  Besides, with all of Martha’s butch football posturing around here, there’s been a gob-smackingly vile lack of room for any quality “Flamin’ Abe” material anyway. 

   Hey Sully–wait up!

    When I lived in New Orleans I saw Archie Manning throw a cabbage through a living room window. It wuz a accident.

    Being in Indianapolis, I’d say, yeah, it sucks to be you today… but not near as much as it sucks being a Redskin fan.

    And besides, I can take a hit.

    As both a Vikings and a Colts fan, it really sucks to be me.  I wasn’t expecting much from the Vikings though

13. gwallace46107 says:

    Being a Vikings fan and a Colts fan almost adds up to a personality disorder. You might want to have that looked into.

    And the only thing I’ve really come to expect from the Vikings is at some point in the playoffs (well before the final NFC playoff game) the Vikes will take the Big Tumble.

    Hmm. Kind of like the Colts, now that I think about it.

    Sheesh. Bring on baseball.

    football is lame.  pads are for menstrating women.

    Gee, Shank… Have you just been lurking in the shadows waiting to unleash that baby on us unsuspecting sissies? Or did you read that on a bumper sticker at a Purdue game?

    It sure doesn’t suck for me to be a Patriots fan.  What a game, I never felt the cold.  Scott P., that fear is well deserved.  http://secureliberty.org/index.php/2005/01/17/patriots

    Jeff, was the choice of the Patriots a not to their vindication of the Broncos?
