Oh wow. I’m starting to think this column is the kiss of death to good teams. I tell everyone to tune in to watch the Houston Texans and they get stomped by Bill Belichik and his Trilby with a football. So who don’t we like this week? I’ll be accepting PayPal bribes for the next two weeks to write about any team (featuring a photo of key player) you’d like to see lose big. Xmas is coming up and Momma needs a new set of rims. I’ve had to promise Flyboy and the Football Savant Offspring never to mention the team from Oakland and Lily’s requested I never mention that Crescent City bunch again.
So here’s a photo of Tom Brady. This should please my 49er fan friends (and I have many – so I’m sorry to those of you who requested that I write about them this week. I spend all day with these people and they have access to office supplies that can accurately travel a decent distance when hurled).
Also, my column gets put to bed on Friday, so I would like to take this opportunity to express my condolences to the Dallas Cowboy family for the untimely loss of Jerry Brown. But the team paid their respects in the finest way possible – victory on the field.
And to Rob Parker – currently suspended by ESPN for being a self-important bigot – I got an email from RG III — which stated simply, “Rob who?”
Here are the matchups this week (and nice job on the dog-killer’s team Thursday night, Mighty Bengals).
Giants @ Falcons
Broncos @ Ravens
Packers @ Bears
Redskins @ Browns (you show ‘em who’s “cornball, ” RG III)
Colts @ Texans
Jaguars @ Dolphins
Buccaneers @ Saints
Vikings @ Rams
Lions @ Cardinals
Seahawks @ Bills
Panthers @ Chargers
Steelers @ Cowboys
Chiefs @ Oakland (Football Savant Offspring will be in the stands – be sure to wave, son!)
49ers at Patriots
Monday’s Game
Jets @ Titans
NYG playing without Bradshaw…7-5
Redskins playing without RG3…7-6
Cowboys (7-6) play the Steelers…
things are getting interesting in the NFC East
meanwhile the Gints are getting pounded by the Falcons
this is important! so i’m reposting it from the abandoned previous thread….

The world of the permanently entitled professional Democrat with grievances:
On Thursday’s “Your World,” Neil Cavuto repeatedly pressed Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson for specifics on what Democrats would be willing to cut as part of a budget agreement. For her part, the Texas congresswoman insisted on focusing on “revenue generation.”
“No, you told me things you’d do to raise taxes. That’s what you told me. Credits, allowances, that sort of stuff. That’s what you told me,” Cavuto said.
“You’ve got to talk about revenue generation,” the congresswoman replied.
“I know that, but it’s 100 percent of what you’re talking about, congresswoman,” said Cavuto.
“It is not 100 percent of what I’m talking about. If you’d shut up for just a second, I would try,” she responded.
Cavuto shot back: “You got to tell me one thing you’d cut. I beg you congresswoman, one thing you would say, I would cut this. What would it be?”
Rep. Johnson thought for a moment and responded: “You.”
A pause.
“You don’t know, do you?” asked Cavuto.
“Well, yes I do know, but I have to have time to explain it. I can’t tell you I’m going to walk in and cut this and cut that. First of all, it has to have be some type of dialogue.

was interviewed .
He was asked about the conversation among the fans & the Media,
whether or not Head Coach Lovie Smith should be back next year.
He answered “Two people that I don’t care about are the Media
and the fans. They don’t know what they’re talking about.

I’m not trying to blast New York here. It’s just that out here all we ever hear about is the insanity of you guys and of course California. Because our press is always pushing the latest law or ban as an example of how enlightened the coasts are and how we need to follow.
(In the case of the smoking bans we looked at what NY had and took it a step further in our lunacy.)
So, I for one try to understand how, if there are so many conservatives or anti-totalitarian sentiment, then how do the coasts keep voting for these people and laws?
It’s not an attack, it’s actual confusion.
Like here, we’ve had two complete dem crooks win as governor in a row. Why, because the school unions flooded the tv with ads telling how the republicans were going to cut funds to schools and there would be more school shutdowns.
They fall for that almost every time. (Last two mill levy votes were the first time that my local community finally told them to go to hell.)

And once again. The only people who can legally step in are people in NY. They have to file the lawsuits, they have to contest the election. If this did not happen then I don’t know what to tell you.
Even when our governor tried to go around election law he got sued in our state. It didn’t get finished until he was already out of office, but it got done. (4 years for an election lawsuit, it may have been an new record. The judge found an amazing amount of delays.)

If he was willing to break the law and spend that much on re-election than there is no reason he wouldn’t have spent at least that much to steal the election.
(See, that’s what we were wondering. How someone breaking the law in that way gets votes.)
Don’t worry it happens. I haven’t figured out a way for it to be stopped. As I mentioned earlier our previous governor violated election law and the case wasn’t settled till after the election.
One of our Senators also violated election law in his first term and all he was required to do was pay a small fine and apologize.
So it does happen and there are not good mechanisms in place to stop it. Especially when you add in the corrupt liberal controlled court.

I don’t know anyone who went there for work or school, but I sure see where you are coming from. Even in our conservative western states here, the damn college towns are bluer than anywhere in the surrounding area.
Thank you. That does help me understand the situation a lot more.
Obama is planning on ruining my Sunday Nigh Football. He’s going to make some address and the game is switching to NBC Sports and CNBC.
He’s probably going to demagogue.

Yep, that’s the biggest piece of bullshit ever. If you are caught violating campaign finance law then that should be it, you’re done, you lose your campaign and the right to ever run again. Hell, you should also be up on federal charges.

besides in Libya you might just catch a muslin and that would be politically incorrect.
@ buzzsawmonkey:
True. I really enjoyed their original excuse, which was that it was “too dangerous” for the FBI to go to Benghazi.
Yet it apparently wasn’t too dangerous to have an ambassador go there with nothing but Libyans for security…

Don’t forget Wall Street voted overwhelmingly for O. And even in my little city, it’s far bluer than it should be thanks to one university. (The other one is christian and doesn’t affect the numbers too dramatically. But, the University branch here is over half blue in every election survey, and has voted over 80% of the student body every election the last 10 years.)

I’m not watching it. I’ll read up on it later. But yeah he will demagogue and the media will say it is the greatest speech ever in galactic history.

Hell, even Charles Krauthammer still thinks Obama’s speech in Tucson was something great.
Mars wrote:
Supposedly he’s claiming that he wrote it all by his very own self with just a little help from his speechwriters.
Which will make one thing he’s sort of kinda worked on in the four years he’s been paid to impersonate a President.
@ buzzsawmonkey:
Considering that we’re paying someone $100k to walk his dog, I find that hard to believe.
lobo91 wrote:
I suspect that Krauthammer says that for certain things, like the Tucson speech, to ensure that he keeps a toehold of credibility with the MSM. If he condemned everything that slithered out of Obama’s mouth, he’d look “too negative,” and would get no airtime; if he concedes on a speech where 2/3 of the country is creaming its drawers, he gets invited back to the hostile venues where he can still speak a little sense to the senseless.
The fact is there are going to be more and more election irregularities and unusual election occurrences and I’m sure it isn’t hard to guess who they will favor. Don’t forget that all the recent campaign finance reform was designed to help liberals only. And to not punish actual crime when it happens. We don’t need to be getting hostile toward each other due to our perceptions of what one area or another is like. We need to pool info and figure out what happened and how it happened. That way we can see it happening at our local level and maybe call it out before it occurs. Information is our only hope right now. Without it, we are just going to blindly continue into the slaughterhouse.

Was watching the Patriot 49′er when they went to the Chair delivering a speech to the people affected by the CT tragedy. He was heckled.
Ruh roh…here it comes…
@ song_and_dance_man:
Game is on CNBC.
Isn’t it time for the Speaker to change his name from “Boehner” to “Boehnee?”
And of course he mentions a whole hosts of tragedies but neglects to mention Ft. Hood.
@ Rodan:
Yeah I know. I’m watching it there.
@ Rodan:
I checked briefly to see if the Chair was still talking. He has his “I’m mad at the gun owners face on.”
I imagine he’s pissing off the people watching the Survivor finale as well.

@ eaglesoars: If you remember back in the days of it depende on what the meaning of is, is. Hillary had a similar amnesia event. She could not for the life of her recall what happened to the Rose Law firm billing records.Vincent Foster may have known but like Susan Rice he took one for the team, (so to speak).

I guess it would be inappropriate and evil of me to mention that Timothy McVeigh killed 22 children with fertilizer.

There’s never any mention of anyone using a gun to protect themselves or others. It never happens according to the MSM.

@ Carolina Girl:
The Chair is a disgusting man. If you’re watching it, it’s like he’s in campaign mode. Platitudes and insincere mumbo jumbo.

By the way, does anyone think channels were changed all over the country when his self-righteous mug appeared? I imagine he was even booed all over San Francisco.
Bob Costas is the anchor for the game. Halftime is gonna be a turn off.
The Anti-American-in-Chief using what should be a solemn memorial for dead children as a political full-court press for gun control. Disgusting. **spit** Never forget that this president sent thousands of guns to Mexico which resulted in the murder of hundreds of Mexicans.

Fodder for the truly indoctrinated O-bots.

Of course not. A reasonable person carrying a gun preventing a crime rubs against LLL’s agenda of ‘gun control’.
@ Bumr50:
He wants to talk gun control he can start with Eric Holder, 300+ dead Mexicans and Brian Terry.

We had our Christmas party yesterday. This entire neighborhood is military in some form or other. I think Hubby and I are the only civilians. As the evening wore down -- our neighbor -- great guy -- Navy intelligence(NCIS) -- knows everything that’s wrong with Obama.
But he CAN NOT attribute it to bad intentions. That would break his mind.
Maybe that explains a lot of what I/we see -- POTUS is the enemy? Well, where do you take it from there? So you just don’t go there.
This thread is starting to get a little boggy. As nothing else is scheduled, I’ve put up NFL Week 15 Open Thread 2.
