feck!

Always trust the motherfucking shorter!

gah! trust the shorter! trust the shorter!

Is that you, Father Jack?

Jeebus teached ’em to throw the football?

Sweet Tittyfucking Jesus, they sure love to condescend to black people. They are the worst sort of concern trolls.

Jets QB Tim Tebow is not the outlier he is made out to be. A disproportionate share of quarterbacks, especially elite quarterbacks, share the background of the five just mentioned.

Make up your mind. Are you talking “elite quarterbacks” or are you talking about Tebow?

Sweet Tittyfucking Jesus, they sure love to condescend to black people. They are the worst sort of concern trolls.

you should read the comments…they even manage to work abortion in there…now i can’t decide who’s crazier–the minutemen or american stinkers…

back in 2009 this is what jack had to say:

The quarterback position presents a variety of troubling issues. As of this writing, the ten quarterbacks with the highest official ratings are all white. This can only indicate a racial bias in the design of the rating system. Ideally, these ratings should be based on job related criteria and be predictive of success. The fact that the top four rated quarterbacks — and five of the top ten — play for undefeated teams means little. This surely an historical fluke.

where as now it’s based on who loves jesus the most…

Given the impact of faith and family on the NFL, one can imagine how an emphasis on the same could re-shape America. It is too bad the party in power has a perverse disdain for both.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, it was all about Obama bashing but he couldn’t just write the last two sentences. He had to make up all that other dreck.
Also emphasis on the same could re-shape America
You can count me out on that, bub.

Isn’t it the NFL that does that whole socialist revenue-sharing thing?
Not to mention imposing hard salary caps?

Breaking: JACK CASHILL HATES CAPITALISM.

POOP?

I notice the dateline indicates the article was written before a certain recent, um, event. I’m sure ol’ Jack would point out that the murder suicide was carried out by someone presumably not a Christian as evidenced by his having had unapproved sexytime and not rubbing our noses in that fact, er, publicly repenting and coming to Jesus. But to say NFL values are American values? As much as I like to play football (I don’t like to watch men’s sports as I would rather do things than watch them … women’s sports on the other hand have women in top physical condition getting sweaty and what hetero guy could pass that up? 😉 ), I hope the game, which involves running with the ball and knocking people over, doesn’t represent American values.

Of course while Cashill may be a condescending prick and religiously bigoted git, the complete idiot is whomever wrote that title.

Years ago a sociologist/anthropologist studying swimmers discovered that any discipline, followed in a disciplined manner, increases an athelete’s success. Attending Church regularly could be one of those disciplines. Deciding to always touch the wall at the turn, or always be on time to practice, was equally predictive of success. Being able to figure out and comply with the rituals of your new team, as well, factored into making someone who was a “winner” at a lower level team also do better when they were bumped to a higher level team.

The missing element here is that personal virtue/sexual morality/church itself has nothing to do with success at a team sport. A whole lot of other factors are necessary. Angry, withdrawn, spiteful, solipsistic, loners probably don’t do well even with a ton of atheltic skills unless the entire team can afford to cater to that person on the field and/or the game is set up in such a way that the person only has one function to fulfill (which, by the way, is part of the argument of the movie “The Replacements.” The place kicker has only one job to do and can be as inept and unfocused as he wants up until the moment they need him.)

So: shorter me. Showing up on time (and not blowing your brains out because you’ve dissapointed daddy by killing your girlfriend) is half the battle.

I’m never going to get the image of Jeebus in a Dallas cheer leading outfit out of my head.

Ron, a former college football star, was running as a conservative Republican in Missouri’s heavily Democratic 5th Congressional District. He won the primary, and although he fell short in the general, he made the best Republican showing in a half-century.

So, it’s not that they’re Christians, it’s that they’re CONSERVATIVE Christians.

Although his parents — one black, one white — were not married, his birth mother made a culture-defying decision in 1987: she chose not to have an abortion.

Wow. You mean, this child was the only one born to unmarried parents in 1987?

Also, I can’t help but wonder about the values of a man who slags single parents, most of whom are doing the best they can for their children. I’ve seen interviews with some of the black moms of these players, both in professional and college leagues…and they don’t strike me as bunch of no-values-having-welfare-moochers. So I really wish Jack would take his racist/sexist assumptions about single parents and shove them up his ass.

1987? What about doing a broad spectrum of intoxicants and having multiple girlfriends? Was that a culture defying decision? Can’t remember having any gay abortions but that might have been due to the bs of i.

Also, I can’t help but wonder about the values of a man who slags single parents, most of whom are doing the best they can for their children.

Pisses me off massively.

Mrs. Kong became a single parent after running away from her worthless piece of shit first husband when he started hitting her. I think my step-daughters were around 3 years old at the time.

Are you sure your wife wasn’t just an irresponsible slut?

Come on. She was a woman, she was a single, she’d had sex. I think according to Republicans that makes her a skanky slut.

Someday I’m going to find that miserable son of a bitch and give him a thank-you note for setting the bar so low for me.

That’s a cockpunch right? Sure his deep deep failings as a human being resulted in good news for you, but the guy is still a worthy cockpunch recipient, right?

From what I’m told he’s been divorced 3 times, in trouble with the law on drug charges and is currently on welfare and living with his mother somewhere in Vinton County Ohio.

Sounds to me like he’s cockpunched himself many times over.

I dunno, three divorces means that at least two women other than Mrs. Kong have had the misfortune to marry the dude. A few more cockpunches to this guy would probably be a benefit to society.

Jeebus teached ‘em to throw the football?

I thought Jeebus played hockey. I keep hearing about what an awesome goalie he is.

Hahf! Gef righ gag oghha ri urpf! Hahf!

You’d think after what happened to Rush Limbaugh on ESPN that they’d learn to leave black quarterbacks alone.

My favorite tidbit:

Although sportscasters have the unfortunate habit of stressing the presumed physical differences between black and white quarterbacks…

Um, who exactly would that be?

I assume he won’t touch real football because, say, George Best or Diego Maradona can’t really be explained by Republican family values.

The pro American football players I’ve actually known IRL divide pretty evenly between ordinary joes that were really big and fast and demented party animals that were really big and fast. Being really big and fast is prolly more important than your imaginary friend.

We have a pilot who was an offensive tackle in the NFL (Scott Dill). Played for Tampa Bay and Minnesota until his back gave out.

He’s a seriously large dude.

I flew with him once on the 727 when I was a flight engineer and he was a First Officer. He had to sit with his seat so far back he was practically in my lap.

If the rest of that story doesn’t include the words “caress” and “helmet hair” my day will be ruined.

LEAFS SUCK Update, Rob Ford has gotten a stay of his eviction from office until his appeal is heard.

I knew there was a reason I liked it here.

> at least partial African descent

The looks like a dog-whistle to people who’d favour a ‘the good our white blood did them’ argument.

Um, who exactly would that be?

Assuming that wasn’t a rhetorical question, Rush Limbaugh. Previous to that Howard Cosell lost his sportscasting gig because of an offensive racist turn of a phrase as well. Dennis Miller lost his gig because he was a smarmy know it all. Which was strange, because that was why they hired him in the first place.

Fourth B (Bach, Beethoven, Brahms) Dave Brubeck is dead. Take Five, Mr. Brubeck.*

*Yes, I know it was a Paul Desmond composition but Brubeck and Desmond can’t be separated.

What the fuck is a juggalo?

What the fuck is a juggalo?

Back away now, while you still can!

Ya know, part of me wants to say that a juggalo is a gigolo with manboobs, but that’s actually not far from the truth.

Fuckin’ juggalos, how do they work?

Previous to that Howard Cosell lost his sportscasting gig because of an offensive racist turn of a phrase as well.

Yeah, IIRC, he referred to a black running back as “a little monkey.”

That wasn’t actually the most mortifying thing he said on air, IMO. At one point, they had him doing baseball for some reason, and during an All-Star Game, he remarked that someone’s home run had been dedicated beforehand, a la Babe Ruth, to so-and-so, “a dying 12-year-old boy.”

Except the kid didn’t know that he was dying. He found it out from Cosell.

If I’d done something like that, I think I’d move to Tierra Del Fuego.

Well. Google is is my friend (?)

Coulda gone my whole life without knowing about juggalos.

Juggalo News Network

It is a well known fact that there are no atheist players in the NFL and that the more you love jeebus, the more success you will have. Tim Tebow is but the tip of the success spear here.

What the fuck is a juggalo?

Back away now, while you still can!

Knowledge of juggalos will remove your reverse gear and leave you uncomfortable in neutral.

I believe Lolo Jones stated an interest in the tip of Tebow’s spear. Possibly because he’s a bigger loser than she is.

It’s also a well-known fact that there are no atheist juggalos in the Dark Carnival.

Dennis Miller lost his gig because he was a smarmy know it all

Apparently he knew it all except for anything football. A bit of a handicap for an aspiring sports commentator.

Well, that plus he was an unfunny asshole. Between him and Tony Kornheiser I just about gave up on MNF.

I’m more than a little uncomfortable with Tumblr pages making fun of people on OKCupid for reasons other than being harassing or sexist. I got featured on one myself for my clothing choices and interests and it hurt, to be honest.

Also, vaguely on topic – just wanted to point out how horribly racist sports journalism is and link this Scoop Jackson piece.

Also, vaguely on topic – just wanted to point out how horribly racist sports journalism is and link this Scoop Jackson piece.

Yes, there may be few blacks in the press box. But there are lots of blacks down on the playing field, and that’s what really counts.

(I’m kidding, but almost exactly that argument was once advanced by some old white sorehead writer, in all seriousness, in answer to this issue.)

Lord, who has the time on their hands to whine like the right wing does? Did he write this after spending three hours yelling at the sun? Lordy.

The most surprising member on this list is San Francisco’s new starting quarterback, Colin Kaepernick. Although his parents — one black, one white — were not married, his birth mother made a culture-defying decision in 1987: she chose not to have an abortion. Having watched two newborn sons die of heart defects, Teresa and Rick Kaepernick decided to adopt, and Colin was the baby who came their way. Colin would grow up in a white household in largely white communities, but color was no more the determining value in his upbringing than it was for Freeman or Griffin or Wilson.

I was not aware that you could walk into an orphanage and abort the kids there.

I got featured on one myself for my clothing choices and interests and it hurt, to be honest.

Fuck ’em and forget about ’em. Us Sadlies know Spear totally rocks in clothing style and selection And interests–like imaginative artwork. I remember a longish, nifty SN strand–from way back–about hats and tuxedos and all sorts of clothing selection discussions. Spear sparked it and made it lively and fun to read. Also edumacational.

Off-topic jokiness: At the top of the SN blogroll, is a link to “Bad Credit Questions”

I was thinking about getting something like a Nexus 7 for when I don’t feel like dragging out my laptop.

Also that ‘no atheists in the NFL’ assertion is idiotic. Study idea: Conduct a blind poll of NFL players about religious identity. I swear to God there are closet atheists in ANY professional sport. (Fuck, make that any profession period.)

….and there’s a hook for Pup and other Sadlie atheists! I always try to be helpful.

By the plump labia of the Age-Old Vexation, I did not know the wingnuts had resorted to claiming the Negro is not good at sports. I am not a follower of athletic competitions, but it was my impression that persons of color were excellent at all non-swimming events.

It is of course logical to claim that the only colored fellows who excel at the football are Christians from unbroken homes, which makes them semi-white. Because the unmarrieds are all darkies.

So, ah, they distil something that the Virginia Thought Control police say is legal. But the show is apparently about people doing something illegal and is called a reality show because it shows how other people who actually are making illegal stuff, live. but the show, at no time says “This is all made up”.
Uh huh.

Gratuitous animated GIFs of Christina Hendricks of the day.

+ 1 for the GIF, Spear. I completely rate for redheads and the auburn-haired.

The only Christina Hendriks performances I’ve seen were her Firefly episodes …. which I muchly enjoyed. Imo, she showed some versatile acting chops portraying such a cameleon-like character. She was smooth and slick in the flight/action sequences. (I’ve seen the series twice; it didn’t look to me like Hendrix was doubled in the fights. Hey! That gives me an excuse to watch those episodes again and play much closer attention. Perhaps frame-by-frame analysis.

Mr Mayor, I was trying in my own sad little way to point out the foolishness of the original post article by presuming to speak like the person in the featured article . In this case he might blame an incomprehensible TV show on imaginary African Americans. It is long standing internet tradition to say “Negroes” to indicate that you are not be taken seriously.

It is long standing internet tradition to say “Negroes” to indicate that you are not be taken seriously.

…another way to indicate you are not to be taken seriously is to use “Democrat” as an adjective, of course. (Isn’t it nice of the drobes, glorps and other disembrained types to have these little tells so intelligent, aware people won’t mistake them for someone who might accidentally have something worthwhile to say?)

It’s a pet peeve of mine, which I’m sure is why they use it.

It will be sort of strange: I grew from toddlerhood(*) to childhood in the 1950’s. I imagine the Mad Men clothes, hairstyles, cars, furniture, and suchlike will have unusual echoes from my personal experience.
