It bothers me a lot that they can't play football for more than a few minutes without somebody being in need of medical attention.
Football's my game. I loved playing it. I love watching it. I get it and it gets me. It's my game. But there's something wrong with it, and I have to admit there's something wrong with it.
I just really wish I had confidence that the people who have the power to make the necessary changes will, in fact, make those changes.
So I guess the NFL needs to lose the bullshit Roman numerals thing when it comes to their annual biggest fucking thing in the whole world ever? 'Cuz the 'L' looks like a typo or something? Or it looks more like "Super Bowl - LARGE". I've never quite understood why we feel the need to dress that kinda shit up by using substitutes for numbers - like we're trying to make it look more important than it actually is - why can't we just let it be what it is? So anyway, fuck that shit. But wait - Roger Goodell had to sign off on the '50' thing, so maybe Mr Goodell is of more use than tits on a bull after all(?) Or maybe, actually, somebody in Goodell's office handled it; well, more likely, it was somebody in the marketing department; or the PR firm that the NFL outsources all the important decisions to...so yeah, Roger Goodell is about as useful as tits on a bull.
Anyway, here's an oldie from Jay Smoothe - it starts as a reaction to some weird shit that flew around the web because of LebRon and Miami and the NBA and whatever, but Jay does a good job widening it out into a decent perspective on the pathology of Sportsball Mania in general. Anyway - Go Donkeys! Losing a 6th Super Bowl is a record that could stand for a very long time. Make me proud, fellas.
Can't prove that by me. I'm all in for Bernie. Until or unless it's time for me to be all in for Hillary. And BTW - The only thing dumber than somebody saying they won't vote because "you're just choosing between the lesser of two evils" is the willful blindness required for somebody not to understand that it's about pushing back against the greater of the two evils. Smarten up and vote. Then smarten up again, work together, and get shit done.
