I think a person can be that stupid. Remember, this is a guy who wore a Castro t-shirt for his press conference on the suppression of free speech.
How about looking at this headline, you drooling moron?
“ISIS Burns 6 Men Alive in Bakery, Uses Dough Mixer to Kill 250 Children”
And you are criticizing **us** because melanin-enhanced thugs make it necessary for police to shoot them?
FUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFU until you die, scumbag traitor.
On the rare occasion I watch Scott Van Pelt, he was candid about the fact the Monday night game was a snoozer. He actually called it.
I have an interesting perspective on something that’s happening to the NFL right now:
People are looking for reasons to leave things.
The NFL has been bad for a long time. There are pockets of good like anything else, but I think the Patriot cheat machine has done as much to hurt it than anything else.
Back to the point - TV is a church. It’s a replacement for fellowship, and we used to look up to the people on TV.
Athletes have been pretty useful god surrogates.
Divorce rates have skyrocketed. It’s now up to 70 percent. Women blew up the old economic model of the nuclear family, and when that didn’t work they blamed marriage instead of themselves.
They are now rallying around someone we know to be everything we hate in a corrupt leader. She’s got no Y chromosome, and so ‘flawed’ or not, they are for her.
People are cutting the cable cord. Church attendance is down. Nobody trusts the media, or politicians.
It’s a strange time. The 1900s were a hot house of new political and economic ideas. Communism seemed like a pretty good idea to a lot of people for very good reasons. Novelists were getting people to talk about ideas. There were so many voices out there and passion behind the ideas.
The ideas even made sense on paper. They made sense when people got together and talked about them. Some of them tried them out, and like every good idea, somewhere along the way it gets co-opted, or hijacked.
Anybody on this forum who used to be a big R Republican can probably relate.
What seems to be different about this time is the silence in all of the noise. Everyone is talking like they never have before. Even WikiLeaks is out there delivering smoking-gun evidence on things that would have killed off governments 20 years ago, and nobody is listening in the maelstrom.
If Hillary is elected, its because we all gave up and are waiting for the shooting to start, because I think everyone is walking around wondering who’s going to start shooting first. This Black Lives Matter business is the match to a keg and it doesn’t surprise me that the D’s struck that match.
If there are no more families, what’s going to be left to fight for? We care a lot less about our kids than we all profess, given the fact we are perfectly allowed to rape their futures with cheap dollars and make them pay for educations that aren’t going to lead to jobs.
I think the people pulling the strings think that if they invite rats to a better shithole, they will nest here and destroy it for them. When the time comes to kill the rats, its going to make it much easier for them to do it.
And then there is AI and robots. The reason why I think we are a ways away from depopulation is that the robots are still in shelves in their boxes. The internet of things is still pretty young. The way to finance depopulation is to get the people you want to depopulate to finance it for you.
When robots are as ubitquitous as cell phones, and there is a government program that allows people who can’t afford it to have a robot, then I think we’re close. Factory automation is already here, but the robot revolution will be the next big thing, and the next big source of jobs.
When the elite have what they need, and Google/Amazon has collected all the knowledge required, the thing will happen pretty suddenly.
The planes will be streaming their ‘contrails’ as they have been for the last 15 or so years (who runs aircraft that fuel inefficiently that often?), the internet will go down for a week, and by the time its over 80 percent or more will be dead in the streets. They won’t even bother creating a cover story, because there won’t be enough people left to bullshit.
Like all plans, it won’t go as planned. It won’t matter though.
And God? Who knows. Pray like its up to Him and live as honestly as you can I guess. It’s supposed to get so much worse before it gets better, and we may be on the lineup sheet to pitch this game.
It’s not an opus. It’s not a manifesto. I just believe that the world thinks we got pogroms out of our system in the 20th century. By the time the end came, the Nazis were killing 60,000 Jews a day with xyklon B and CO.
Quaint technologies. Why would the elites be working on immortality measures, automation, and so passionately be hammering the global climate change meme so hard at the same time?
They want to live forever at a greatly reduced overhead, and maybe start over.
I don’t think the US has any enemies any more. The Chinese have this problem so much worse than the US does. If the elites there thought they could get away with eliminating all but 5% of their population, you don’t think they would.
It’s their wet dream. It explains Republican politics of the last 25 years (back to post-Reagan).
And it is not about hate. The one word epitaph on all of it is “Redundant.” They were redundant. Start over with the best 10 percent and see if we can do it better with better technology this time.
One more small observation about their chances of success doing all this:
Probably better than average, however . . .
Every new thing in the last 100 years came from outside the establishment elite. Natural philosophers. Guys who were in love, crazy, and never went to college. Tesla, Einstein, guys like that.
Something out of their control will threaten the whole plan and they will have cancelled out the original thinkers. They won’t get ahead of it and it will probably do them in as well.
God’s role in all of this? I’m betting on that passage in Thessalonians myself if it happens in my lifetime. Betting on that or a quick death. I can go either way on that.
Life is a beautiful thing. There is, however, always some Type A sociopath out there who wants the monopoly on it. I very hope I’m wrong about all of this.
Indeed.
Godell wants to dictate want players can have on their shoes and what clothes the coaches can wear but he's powerless to stop a moron from insulting the entire country.
No wonder he gets booed anytime he shows his face in public.
It is a perfect time to resurrect the USFL or AFL. There is plenty of very good talent out there that can compete with the NFL. Think of how many college athletes are ovelooked in the draft. Plenty of guys on the bench waiting for their chance. Maybe Brady and the Patriots would jump ship and start it up.
I think the packers are pretty thug free.
His jersey number is his I.Q.
One of things that makes me holler at the TV is all the stupid cameras that are covering football now. It seems the control booth thinks that filling my TV screen with some player’s eyes a split second prior to the snap makes for good coverage.
The networks need to get football people back in the control booth...prior to the snap, I really don’t care about a close-up of some defense coach up in the booth. It used to be the best place to watch a football game was on TV...not any more.
Liberals are not capable of seeing things through other people’s eyes.
On the NFL Network broadcast of the Giants game this past Sunday, the announcer had to tell the producer to kill the replay video so that we might actually see the next play.

is he one of those clowns I keep hearing about?
Nice hair Collin - try some soul glow or afro-sheen.
It makes me crazy...on TV, fans cannot watch offense shifts and motion and defense shifts because of cameras focused on tight shots of some guy sitting on the bench spitting or scratching something...or a full head shot close-up of a coach.
They should take that stupid camera that is suspended on a wire system and toss it out of the stadium. I don’t give a .... about the back of the kicker’s head the second before the punt.
What do you mean? Everyone wants to see what a pigeon might see if he gets trapped inside the stadium.
Overproduction isn't just a football problem. On some horse-racing shows they switch to blimp shots and chase car shots. I just want to see the race from the perspective of one good seat, because that's what I'm used to when I'm there. They can show the artsie cr@p after the race is over.

Small head big body.
You may not be.
A large number of other people are.
My husband is the football fan in this family but I watch with him. We have not watched a NFL game this year and don't plan to. Not even if the Lions go to the Super Bowl.
“On the rare occasion I watch Scott Van Pelt”
Am I the only one who thinks that guy is an extreme creepazoid?
“Divorce rates have skyrocketed. It’s now up to 70 percent.”
Let’s not forget that those statistics mask the fact that some people are getting five divorces and others are getting none.
“Women blew up the old economic model of the nuclear family, and when that didn’t work they blamed marriage instead of themselves.”
On the nose. Have we had a “men are not getting married any more” article yet this year?
“It’s a strange time. The 1900s were a hot house of new political and economic ideas.”
Based on my reading of “Dawn to Decadence” by Barzun (which I cannot recommend too highly) I would say that not a single one of those ideas was new.
“There were so many voices out there and passion behind the ideas.”
Such periods recur. Ours was not the first.
“The ideas even made sense on paper.”
They only made sense on paper, and then only when facts were overlooked.
“Even WikiLeaks is out there delivering smoking-gun evidence on things that would have killed off governments 20 years ago, and nobody is listening in the maelstrom.”
Dumbing down was not the only thing perpetrated on the American people. At the same time, they were taught to close their minds and their ears to anything that undermined “the things that all good people believe.” And now the number of people whose minds are closed to the point of irrationality is very large. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
“Why would the elites be working on immortality measures”
Immortality has been a dream of some men since prehistory.
“automation”
Money.
“and so passionately be hammering the global climate change meme so hard at the same time?”
Virtue signaling.
“If the elites there thought they could get away with eliminating all but 5% of their population, you don’t think they would.”
No, it takes more people than that just to maintain the infrastructure of civilization.
“Life is a beautiful thing. There is, however, always some Type A sociopath out there who wants the monopoly on it.”
An armed man is a citizen; an unarmed man is a slave.
“I very hope I’m wrong about all of this.”
I think you’re right about some of it, but closer to despair than events warrant.
I don’t think Colin Kaepernick catches much that goes past him. Just consider his action. Here is a professional football player who thinks that his histrionics will further his career. He doesn’t seem to have much on the IQ side.
If he had a decent IQ, he would see how much it is hurting him in the long run. When the current news hoopla is over, not much of it or him will be remembered. In the meantime, he had better get his ass in gear and play some football or he’ll be gone for good.
This stuck-up doofus makes more money in one year than most will in multiple lifetimes, than whines about “white privilege” and claims he’s a victim of racism. Does that makes sense to anyone?
