Bluer skies elsewhere...

@jonmachota Jerking off to Jerry's toys while the team aims high - 30 years of unrelenting failure.

No one else in the NFL would have ever hired JJ as a GM. But no one in the Dallas media will ever put it that bluntly, despite the conclusion being so obvious.

@andypollin1 Anyone who believes any radio person's endorsement of anything gets what they bought into, someone selling themselves then doing the paymaster's bidding. It's sad.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

You've been saying that for a year and a half, and it's truer every day!

[Dale Baker @DB1212013]

@1053thefan @1053SS @BobbyBeltTX The never ending cult of slobbering attention by the media.

So, so sad.

[Dale Baker @DB1212013]

@andypollin1 It's many billions of dollars beyond icky. It's obscene.

But now we get to listen to sports "journalists" at various outlets humping everyone's leg to place more bets.

Sad fate for the sport I've watched for 50+ years.

Proud, MAGA? Disgusting

@RickGosselin9 I have my own 7-year-old memories, along with that kid Staubach showing up out of nowhere to take Craig Morton's job. Didn't seem fair to my kiddie sense of fair play, LOL.

I date my NFL watching career from that season now.

[Dale Baker @DB1212013]

@RickGosselin9 First Super Bowl I remember watching was KC over the Vikings under Stram.

@andypollin1 "He overcame a tough background in foster care to make it where he is today" works a lot better if the broadcaster felt compelled to use that tidbit in his pregame notes.

@WTOP Expect to see them standing around or walking aimlessly in circles getting bored until Trump's attention span zips to something newer and shinier.

Fraud, waste, and abuse in spades.

D.C. leaders and supporters say the city could do more to address public safety in the midst of the federal crime crackdown if House Republicans would restore $1 billion that was taken away from the District earlier this year.

@jonmachota Classic line from the cult movie "Repo Man":

"What is it about rich people? They don't pay their bills!"

@CharlesRobinson It's a giant stupid contest capped by a manic rush to the bottom. The Jones boys are gonna win it all!

Just not an NFL title.

HELP NEEDED - Unit on the African-American experience before the main civil rights movement, looking for oral history accounts by blacks who experienced the Great Depression.

Not articles about them, studies, headers to archives about oral histories, etc.

Just STORIES. Anyone?

[Dale Baker @DB1212013]

Yeah, well....

So it turns out our authoritarians are very bad at authoritarian pageantry. Skill issue.

[Dale Baker @DB1212013]

@peterbakernyt @ShawnMcCreesh This is a PR disaster. The emperor has no clothes. But the NYT will never be the media outlet to report that. Just desultory effort.

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

The photos coming from Trump’s birthday parade are just incredible. No one showed up.
