> The NFL can cram it, and their worship with Obama just solidifies my resolve to ignore them.

Definitely ignore the NFL.

Convert your viewing to Rugby Union and Rugby League — they are better games than NFL football, and they are always on: they’re played in Winter, so the Northern Hemisphere will be in season now. And during your summer the Southern Hemisphere gets going — including the mighty NZ All Blacks (Rugby Union).

And Rugby League is an amazing game in its own right: faster and rougher than Rugby Union, with more running play.

You need never watch NFL again.

Fans aren’t real keen about politicians injecting themselves into their football. Whatever the hopenchange kids were trying to achieve, my sense is that it will play more negative than positive. I got a real creepy feeling when I saw Barack’s dopey grill dramatically pop into frame as he reaches for a Drew Brees pass.

Good luck with all that, skinny. Gallup at 48 before Thanksgiving.

Which one would I miss? A POTUS who kept us safe or one who throws a football like a fairy?

So now the Narcissist-in-Chief has to spoil our Thanksgiving football too? Well, I’m sure there are college games on Thursday too. If the NFL wants to hitch its wagon to this imploding star, that’s their problem.

Rush found out the NFL is directly connected to the White House.

I got a mailing the other day asking to renew my Toronto Blue Jays ticket package and if I did by Nov. 30 they would throw in a pair of tix for the Jets Bills game. I thought about it for a few seconds thinking about Rush and everything and decided....nahhhhh. Even as a throwin they are less than worthless. I may still order some baseball tix next year but not at this moment.

Pity Rush is too much of a gentleman to sue.

Watch who? The NFL? This is an everyday public service effort. Did Obama’s team use it for media exposure? Yes. Does it bother me? I’m neither impressed nor threatened by it.

With all the troubles we got to focus on something as sophomoric as this is diversionary and those who promote torches and pitchforks for an effort as worthless as this are irresponsible or just playing on the emotions of the mob to garner shock appeal.

It’s just freakin’ assinine.

This is NOT public service. This is pure, unadulterated propaganda. “For the children.”
And yes, it’s worth a thread to let some steam off because we NEED to let some steam off. I have a right to enjoy a day obe-free. Can’t turn on the tv. Can’t turn on the radio.
Hell, I’m afraid the bluelipped, anorexic looking clown will pop out of my chimney on Christmas Eve wearing elf shoes, red suspenders, and a white beard just to scare my kid to death.

“This is NOT public service. This is pure, unadulterated propaganda. “For the children.”

And if Bush had done it and received criticism from the left there would be posts here about the unfairness of it all.

Grow up.
