Commanders to hire Michigan State’s cornerbacks coach Jim Salgado as d-backs coach. MSU ranks near the bottom of the NCAA in defense and cornerback play this season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/commanders-add-jim-salgado-to-defensive-coaching-staff

Dang. So the Foghorn Leghorn voice is just a shtick...

Super touristy, but when you have limited time and want to see a lot, the hop-on hop-off buses or trolleys are not a bad way to go. Old Town Trolley winds through the whole Mall area from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial with a bunch stops along the way. www.trolleytours.com/washington-dc

This was TK to Josh Harris - just before the Extremeskins shutdown a couple weeks ago.

By the way, an indication of how checked out I am on this season? I didn't know who the Commanders were playing until I clicked on this thread.

With Jack Del Rio gone, Riverboat Ron can finally unleash the hidden potential of this defense. Commanders 74, Dolphins 3.

The jokes actually seem better in this scenario...

Here it is, in full: “Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?” A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: • Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. • You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of ****. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a **** was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.” -Nate White

I would watch this.

It would be great if MAGA fan Jack Del Rio joined the Trump campaign and worked the same magic there that he did with the Commanders defense.

You're right Donnie:

Just in time for Christmas:

David Poile was Washington Capitals GM from 1982-1997.

Look. I know not all Trump supporters are this ****ing stupid. But it seems there is no shortage of examples of this level of stupidity out there…

I have a business idea - Uber in rural areas. I'll call it Goober.

This video seems like some evidence...

It's an intractable, divisive world topic, but still this gave me a chuckle:

Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter is one of the greatest love stories - and most enduring - in American history.
