Embrace the hate. You know your team is good when they evoke such strong emotions. There was a time not too long ago that the Patriots were pretty terrible. It makes this 15 year run sweeter. Let's keep it going!
#272 Re: The Garden » Football » 438 weeks ago
I thought the past season was disappointing...but there are some confounding factors...
First, I'm a Bears fan and they weren't even close to competitive - but even still, I didn't think the quality of the games was terribly good...maybe I'm yearning for a phase of the game in the past. I feel something is off about the game in a way I've never felt before...something that puts too much emphasis on the QB and not enough emphasis on anything else. I don't know...something is off...I look at games from previous decades and I don't even recognize the sport anymore in some ways.
Maybe I'm just getting old and crotchety.
No, it wasn't a banner year for the NFL. There were so many mediocre to bad teams. There were so few really good teams.
I'm a Pats fan and I'm not certain they're really a great team, they may just appear that way compared to the competition. The Falcons defense isn't very good. Every team is flawed in some way. I'd like to think NE will coast on Sunday but every Super Bowl they've been in since 2001 has come down to the wire.

While I certainly don't condone the joke, I don't think she deserves to be fired for it. The problem with social media is people go on there and post without giving it much thought, and once they do it's already too late. I'm sure she regrets it, a lame attempt at humor. They can't all be winners. Suspend her, reprimand her, but firing seems a bit harsh to me.
Bart Hubbuch, writer for the NY Post, compared the 2017 Inauguration Day to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor in a tweet yesterday. I really don't care for the guy, and haven't for some time. Does he deserve to be fired though? I do know Curt Schilling got fired by ESPN for some questionable tweets, so it's not unprecedented. He's a staunch republican FWIW.

Facts or not, they're still excuses. Hillary was shady and turned half the country off. Trump was far from an unflawed candidate obviously, but he still won. Regardless of how or why it happened, it happened. There's no turning back now.
It's not an excuse, it is a fact that it took outside forces to defeat her, and he still couldn't win the popular vote. No one is saying it didn't happen or he isn't the legal President, he's *President Trump. And yes, no turning back for the fucktards who voted him in.
It's not a fact, but you can go on believing that if it makes you feel better. Do you have proof Hillary would have won the election if certain things didn't happen? I think that would be impossible to prove unless you break out the DeLorean and change the events leading up to Election Day. Let me know when you get back from your journey.

They should've all gotten out and voted. Maybe they'd be having a different kind of march today. Maybe next time.
You know all these women personally? You know that none of them voted? That's a rather useless comment.
I don't remember anything like this politically in my lifetime. A protest march to an incoming president that exceeded the size of a presidential inauguration, with sister marches all over the country and around the world.
Just an observation. We're all free to make them last I checked. No, I didn't have time to poll all of them. I'll get right on that though. A lot of women voted for Trump last I heard, but I didn't poll them either so I guess that doesn't matter either.

Wtf. Good on Slash for making a statement on what he believes in. Business decision?! Fuck you.
Faldor, when did u drink the cool aid? Gotta say if your excuse is Democrats put up a poor candidate it's a pretty weak argument buddy.. but whatever floats your boat.
These women protest marches are funny to me considering like 53% of WHITE women voted for Trump. Stupid fuckin cunts
Where's the representation of their voices in these protests? Anyway..Also, all the other protests seem a bit like crying over split milk. Why couldn't these assholes mobilise themselves beforehand to stop this from happening?*
It's my opinion that Hillary wasn't a good candidate and that is the main reason she lost. The Democrats bent over backwards to have her be their candidate. Bernie probably would have wiped the floor with Trump. So yeah, bad choice. Just my opinion, you don't have to share it.

The popular vote is a footnote and the rest are excuses. If the Democrats had a better nominee you probably wouldn't be complaining about Trump right now. Lesson learned.

Considering she won the popular vote, I'm sure many of them did.
Not enough apparently, or at least they didn't live in the right states.

That's about all you talk about. Claims of hatred, anger, greed. But mostly your own anger that the Clinton machine was destroyed and the Democratic Party Balkanized and at each other's throats. Suck it up buttercup, we got 4 years to go and no one wants to listen to you guys on the rag.
And he still lost the popular vote and had to have help from Russia, Assange, Wikileaks and Comey! He sure showed her!
