It's so much showbiz and stuff that isn't really important.

But occasionally it is important. And a very fine thing.

Likely would get surrounded by a SWAT team and shot to death, 296 times, by accident, of course.

President Obama should draft new rules to make football safer for our children.

Posted by: Dorcus Blimline at January 18, 2014 05:17 PM (5JRkI)

24 I never saw either Bullitt or Cool Hand Luke. I donÂ’t watch many movies. I do have to watch TMC more often. When I put that on IÂ’m usually pleasantly surprised.

28 President Obama should pass a law that more blacks should play professional ice hockey. This is not fair to blacks.

Therefore, I find the 49ers Offensive... Besides, they dug HUGE holes in Mother Earth... and left Miles and Miles of Mine Tailings...

57 Sorry for the O/T... Oh, Christ! I'm no Doctor... Just met some of my new neighbors, in the ghetto! I am sooo, soo sorry Mr. George. (He's 8yrs old and AWESOME, if a bit chatty!) I KNEW that I had to send your Mom away from your sister to find out if her "tummy-ache" was real or not, or where and what it was. I also KNEW that would involve her slapping the shit out of you in the shower. (which, to be honest seems like an every-day occurrence with LOTS of venues.) Your little sister IS NOT SICK! But she could be made so, fatally, if your Mom keeps dosing her with off-label "Children's Cough Syrup" Loaded with doses of Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen that I wouldn't consider as a YOLO, Hangover Cure! Sorry to rummage through your Mom's closet Mr. George but I HAD to make sure she wouldn't feed your little sister any more of that crap. (It broke my heart to hear you say, "Well, some of that is Dad's cough medicine!") I'm sorry my Spanish is so poor but I left instructions and Diagrams for your mother. I hope they help! (The fact that she is obviouslya whack-job who likes to infantilize and dose up her 4-6 yr old daughter (I honestly can't tell! She doesn't even WALK as well as an infant half her age. And at that, ONLY outside of her Mother's direct supervision!) on "Cough Syrup") Your little sister IS Healthy! I've seen her play with Clifford!(a dog, neither big nor red, particularly...) I fear that your Mom, might just make her otherwise... You don't need to know all about this, Mr. George, not at age 8 but I bet you have a good guess. (If I were you, I'd kick the ever-loving crap out of the front door, myself!)

63 I am sending a email to Michelle Obama about how degrading this website is to blacks and others.

Posted by: Dorcus Blimline at January 18, 2014 05:53 PM (5JRkI)

64
Concussions and other imagined maladies are not the biggest problem for football. The most egregious error for the league is the widespread belief that women cannot compete with men.

I have been ready, willing, and able to play linebacker for any NFL team for the past three years. But no, every time I go to summer camp and attempt to make the cut, I'm told I have great lateral speed and good timing, but I also have weak hands. Well, fuck that bullshit! I'm a competitor, and will be back again next season with either the Dolphins or Jets camp, and expect this time to be chosen and I don't want to hear any more crap.

They will pick me next season because I'm going to invoke the Obama card. What team in their right mind would deny President Obama the right to pick the first female NFL player. Not going to happen white boy, or the nation will explode in anger. I will play linebacker next season, and you can shut the fuck up and get used to it!

77 Obviously, drunken ice hockey players and their fans, that own dogs and are so uncoordinated that they can only shoot crossbows are Broncos fans. Conversely, football playing cat owners (Giselle counts!) that understand and have mastered the inherent advantages of longbows are True Patriots, and shall inherit the Earth. It's that simple. Watch my game tomorrow, and see me prove the superiority of cats v dogs, longbows v crossbows, by my victory of Pats over Peyton's Broncs!
