Politics aside, Rush Limbaugh shouldn’t be considered as a possible buyer for the St Louis Ram. Ok, this has everything to do with politics, and that’s the problem. Owners naturally piss off people with their decisions over a team. That’s because the fans care so deeply about the team that they hold different opinions on what should be done. The issue with Rush isn’t that he’s a polarizing political figure, it’s that he’s so damn polarizing that it would push away people from attending Rams games. I don’t know if I’ve ever witnessed someone as openly bigoted as he is and gets away with it. Ok, Glenn Beck and Bill O’Reilly perhaps, but they’re all on the same page. On the flip-side you’ve got Bill Maher and… who’s that greedy fat fuck that has issues with guns again? Oh yeah, Michael Moore. Each of these people is so far outside…

Striped socks in football
I watched the Denver Broncos play against the New England Patriots over the weekend, and both teams were wearing their AFL retro uniforms. I’ve read, heard, and seen about how people hated how the throwback Broncos jerseys looked. I on the other hand liked the look, purely classic appearance. Football isn’t a fashion show, and no matter how many queer eyes look at the game in horror, it’s still a game played in the mud. What I did have a problem with were the socks. I’m in the same boat as many of the critics. I hated the way the throwback uniform socks looked, but not because of the color scheme or that they were vertical. I hated the look because they were striped, regardless of direction. I look at football uniforms in the same light as baseball, and anything below the knee being multi-colored is just annoying. Vertical stripes…

Bobby Bowden pusher-outers
To the numbnuts at FSU who are pushing for Bobby Bowden to step down and retire. Just have that Seminole guy on that horse that throws the spear before every home game run you over the next time you have a thought. I don’t know who you are, nor do I give two wipes of two-ply about what you think. You must understand one thing; you mean nothing to that university while Bowden means everything. The school would still be unknown, or at the best on par with Troy if he hadn’t shown up. Prior to the post of head coach being filled by Bobby Bowden in 1976, there was practically nothing there for the university. Believe me when I say that nearly nobody wants to live in Tallahassee when there are some very nice places just to the west and on the beach. What was there was an all-female…
