Can You Stomach Bad Football?
The Wall Street Journal ^ | Nov. 16, 2014 | Jason Gay

--SNIP--

The Buccaneers entered the game at 1-8. Dan Snyder’s Washington Sadness Machine was a miserable but better 3-6, a record which included a surprise win over the Dallas Cowboys. Still, who was kidding whom? The Sadness Machine was the Sadness Machine. They are no more likely to be playing in the Super Bowl than the Toronto Maple Leafs.

We should boycott idiots who refuse to use the term “Redskins” for the Redskins.

Payton and the Broncs looked not only flat but deflated.

Dropped passes all over the place, bad plays, no D.

Beaten — BADLY — by St. Louise sorta says it all..

No matter how bad or good your NFL team is doing so far this season. Remember, at least you aren't a raiders fan.

Did you know that the elephant in the room is massive and unfettered and undeniable use of anabolic steroids by 100% of the offensive and defensive lines in pro football. There are no exceptions. This sport is about to take a fall like you won’t believe. There are trainers who are talking now. It started today. Mark your calendar. It is OVER!!

The rest of us read Drudge too. You are not exactly breaking any news here.

Anyway, the NFL is too big to be brought down. There will be some token scapegoats and the rest will be swept under the rug.

The Buccaneers entered the game at 1-8.

And left it at 2-8. All they have to do is win out and they'll be .500...

It has been rampant since the early 70s. It is known by all in the industry. I use to laugh at the crap in baseball and say “ you won’t believe the sh*t that will fly in pro football”. Actually im not opposed to steroids if they were legal but— steroid possession is illegal.Steroid use is a felony!! This is going to be very bad . Buckle your seat belt.

Oh please. What is this tripe?

Steroids in football?! Someone call Oprah, quick!

Seriously, the NFL has enough money to buy Washington bureaucrats off several times over. There's too much money at stake for it to go anywhere.

Besides, what are we all supposed to watch? Baseball? Zzzzzzzzzz....

Football is bad in general.

Sorry, I'm a jerk when it comes to sports.

Mom, when she was alive, and myself are Steeler fans and when the Steelers started to play bad, she’d yell at the TV. If we had the windows open, the neighbors would think that she was killing me.
