Tonight’s target: This fucking guy.
Tommy Fucking Brady. Goodell’s precious little fucking angel. He who cannot be hit.
How this fucking look is still worth two penalties & seven points a game is beyond me. I thought that shit ended the second he left Gillette’s distribution network.
He’s made previous appearances in Hate Weeks 2017, 2018 & 2019. He only lost out on last year thanks to the running of Derrick Henry and – I can’t believe I’m saying this – the quarterbacking prowess of Ryan Tannehill.
His lasting legacy in the league, aside from all the championships, will be the “reffing bitch face” after any contact trying to draw a penalty.
He changed teams & that simple fact led his new team to mortgage their future on a “win now” mentality. The Bucs in three years are going to be where the Patriots are now, but they’ll have their fucking trophy. Maybe the Chiefs can drag Bill Callahan out of retirement down to Florida to run Mahomes’ offence on Sunday just to cement another Tampa victory.
But, I guess we did find out this year if it was Brady or Belichick holding up the dynasty. And it’s not just stats that bear that out,
"When you see the 'Patriot Way' in the dictionary, it’s got Tom Brady’s picture next to it. None of those coaches caught any passes. … Tom Brady is the 'Patriot Way.' That’s why he’s in the Super Bowl & the Patriots aren’t." — @DannyAmendola pic.twitter.com/XtVd0ntJPc

Christ. Guys continue to blow him years after Brady forgot they played with him. Where’s Drew Bledsoe celebrating the fact that his broken ribs blessed the league with Tom Brady?! Because he’s already walked back the “career backup” quote. It just makes Brady’s continued ownership of Super Bowl Sunday aggravating as fuck. I hope when his Hall of Fame election comes up we are at least blessed with stories about him kicking immigrant babies holding puppies, or something equally horrific, so there’s some tarnish that someone will have to fight to defend.
Okay. Now – the therapist says to end on a positive note. I HOPE HE TESTS POSITIVE FOR COVID!
No no, an actual one. Not a personal wish.
Find a positive, find a positive…
I will say that the jersey change means we had to use a new picture for the first time since 2017.
Hopefully, after the game, once again, we can create another Brady meme. We’ll just need a different jersey.
Low Commander?

Man I just had a slice of warm apple pie (with a brown sugar/cinnamon crumble top) with two dollops of Tillamook real French Vanilla ice cream.
Sounds suspiciously tastier than the 2 dessert packs pulled from my leftover MRE drawer (one was a muffin, the other claims to’ve been banana bread) 😀
I know that the correct foodie hipster thing is to insist that one only eats hand crafted small batch gelato from a small neighborhood place run by Italian immigrants, but… Tillamook is really fucking good. Pretty much every flavor I’ve tried so far has been good.
Fuck foodie hipsters. They know nothing and have terrible taste in music as well.
I don’t consider myself one, but I admit to some tendencies in that direction. Where it gets tedious is with the one-upmanship and the obsessions with “authenticity” and obscurity. (“oh, yes, that ramen shop on Sawtelle Blvd in L.A. is ok I guess, but it’s not as good as the one I like in Tokyo” “Oh, Tokyo has ok ramen I guess, if you haven’t been to this one place in a tiny village in Hokkaido…”)
Sometimes widely available mass-produced stuff is actually really fucking good.
And yeah, music hipsters… ugh. But is it my imagination (or my refusal to engage in dialogue with them), or has the obsession with “any band that’s popular has sold out” kind of died out a bit in the era when every band is hustling to promote itself online and the whole “too cool to try to win fans” attitude is dead?
Hipsters killed all the funkiness of Venice CA. And they all look alike with same haircut, the same beard, and the same ridiculous skinny jeans.
The city of Chicago is proud to accept Indiana University Athletics to join their mediocre ranks.

So I was going to ask if there are big Hall of Fame debates in non-North American sports — like, do people intensely argue over whether some bloke should be in the English Football Hall of Fame (“oi, he was the best wingback of his era!” “Nah, mate, he was very good, but this ain’t the Hall of Very Good”) — but then I stopped and realized that even in North America, it’s pretty much just baseball that has these big controversies. Like, I’m a reasonably devoted hockey fan, and I can’t really tell you who is supposed to be in that isn’t or vice versa. But I can rattle off about a dozen baseball players who people argue about.
Is it just that baseball is more up its own ass with mythology? The voting methods used? The pretentiousness of baseball writers? The fact that baseball is more statistics-driven so there’s more to argue about?
Do they all use sportswriters to vote? Is that the problem?
Hockey has an 18-person committee, no set breakdown between former players/media/etc., but I count three people currently who are pure media members, plus a fourth (Pierre McGuire — ugh) who has mostly worked in media but started as a coach. The others are all former players and/or executives, some of whom have done some broadcast work too but it isn’t really what they’re known for.
Too lazy to look up the other ones right now.
I’m purrrty sure the Hall Of Fame is an US/North MURRICAn thing, because I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it being an actual thing at least in football… probably because participation trophies aren’t nearly as big over ‘ere as over there 😀 The closest we get, I think, is the Ballon d’Or, but that’s for active players and is supposed to be given to the best player of the preceding year (though in practice it goes to Messi or Crystiano Ronaldo), but it’s losing is lustre even faster than the various sports Hall Of “WaitWhoDat?” 😀
So I realize the “participation trophy” thing was probably a joke, but I actually think that one of the ways that “lesser footy” gets right is not having the “all or nothing” mentality that is common here. In North American sports, so many fans have bought into the thinking that only championships matter that it’s now accepted gospel that one should tank for one or two seasons, then spend two or three more rebuilding, in the hopes of winning a championship 4-6 years from now, whereas teams that are competitive for 4-6 years but don’t manage to win the title are treated as failures. My impression is that in a lot of European soccer leagues, many fan bases are honest about “yeah, we’d be thrilled to finish 6th and qualify for Europa.” (Of course, part of that may be because championships are seen as unachievable for many teams, Leicester City’s miracle run notwithstanding.) And of course, having non-league tournaments like Champions and Europa and FA Cup help with that, too.
fucking brady.
so its looking like chicago teams will go 0-5 in playoff appearances in the year 2021
There is something positive to be said about consistency.
tell that to my father!
Did I see his likeness posted on 01/06 social media?
no. we’re a hardcore union family.
I’ll never forget him explaining to me how fucking stupid the apprentice was in high school
I really wish more union people would understand that the politicians that they support (Republicans) hate the guts of unions and are doing everything in their power to fucking destroy unions. Stupid fucking Americans. Really wish I could stuff their noses into the pile of dogshit on the carpet that they need.

Not sure if anyone here gives a shit (though I suspect a couple of you are of similar mindset to me), but if you are interested in really creative and talented metal fabrication and Krazy Kustom Karz, there’s a guy named Ian Roussel that has a show called Full Custom Garage that plays on Maverick TV and Motor Trend TV who just fucking hits it out of the park, makes all kind of nutzoid custom vehicles like Ed Roth-CarToons-Rat Fink kind of stuff; as well as insane modifications to gigantic work vehicles, and awesome lead-sleds. Apparently he serves as muse/Vulcan-the-metalsmith to a bunch of SoCal auto eccentrics with real deep pockets and really wild ideas and tastes that he encourages and augments. He really is an artist in the true sense of the word, and his mien is so mellow and laid back that I was gobsmacked to find he grew up in New York(!). I think he is an autodidact, self-taught that learned all his skills on the job; no trade schools or anything like that. He now lives and works near Gene Winfield’s shop (worth it to google or Wikipedia that guy, he’s fucking incredible; among other things he designed all the vehicles in the original Blade Runner as well as the original Star Trek shuttle Galileo and the SUX-6000 in the first Robocop; even at 93 he just keeps on chooglin’) in Mojave CA up by Willow Springs Raceway.
As a former machine tool operator (MR in navy-speak); it is very relaxing to watch his talent being displayed. Fake deadlines and drama as seen in so many car shows (and reality shows in general) are not entirely absent, but they seem to be kept to a minimum. Just an incredible talent.
Sorry to bore y’all with this late posting, but since it is so late I may end up sharing this again tomorrow, (forewarned you are, yes) because this guy’s show really rates the exposure. And I am drunk. And probably will be again tomorrow evening.
BTW, not probably drunk tomorrow. Definitely.
For those who want to know what ancillary “Me too” damage can look like, Xmas Ape from KSK is an interesting follow.
I never could figure Xmas Ape out. He was consistently always in trouble, like it was following him. Which means, of course, that he was somehow consistently causing it. Just like Hilary Clinton, and that’s not a joke.
shit someone accuse ape of something?
I stopped following him because of how “interesting” he was getting.
Yeah, I just looked at his feed now, and can’t say I see anything interesting there.
I don’t know if he’s just given up on getting another media job, but if I were in the business I wouldn’t go near him with a 10-foot pole even if I was 1000% convinced that he was innocent, and not because of fear of bad P.R. He just seems to have a massive chip on his shoulder and won’t change the subject.
And ok, maybe he was truly broken by what happened to him, but repeatedly ranting about it on social media doesn’t help convince anyone that you’re a great dude who deserves another chance. (Which, again, may not be his goal. But the impression I get is of that guy you regret starting a conversation with at the bar.)
Thing i won’t write on twitter: Wile E’s legs are crossed to hide his erection:

He shouldn’t have worn his fur sweats on a day like that. Stick to jeans.
I got to see him live once, and let me tell you: You wouldn’t need to do your job any more if life was more like a Prince concert.
I know what one Prince did after dark, no thank you.
The Mrs got me a pair of Uggs for my birthday this year. It was COLD here last week (snow and everything!) so I really appreciate the comfort. The style is pretty weak but, honestly, I don’t want someone thinking I’m trying to impersonate a pair of Red Wings when I’m standing in my fleece-lined booties.
Still, the dude is pals with a known child rapist and known slave-fucker so I’m hoping *WOKE* America will keep him out of the Hall.
I’m hoping *WOKE* America will keep him out of the Hall.
Well, that’s what has always happened in the past with HOF nominees, no matter the sport, so I’m really optimistic!!!
Know whoM I hate? Jon Gruden. I really really wanted Rich Gannon to win a Super Bowl. (After getting crushed by Siragusa some years back in the AFC Champ.)
All Chucky did was take Tony Dungy’s team, against his old team coached by Callahan, plus Barrett Robbins going AWOL.
His MNF stint killed all my goodwill foar Chucky.

I enjoyed it, especially Jodie Comer who’s either insane or pretends good.
She pulls that character off so well. She’s not even French, but she sure makes you think she is.
She’s great. It’s the writing that bugs me. I’m not capable of suspending my disbelief to the degree that the show demands.
I don’t judge people by the color of their skin; I judge people by how well you can see them when they smile in the dark. God bless you all.

“Groundhog Day” is on. Of course, its a wholesome movie that glosses over the fact that if a guy was damned to repeat the same day, he would become psychotic by year 10.
At this point I probably wouldn’t even notice for the first 2 or 3 years.
If anything, its a nice “Who You Are in the Dark” test. If you can do anything with no consequences, what will you do?
I already have a kill list for when the “1 month to live” diagnosis comes in.
And, if you have to wonder if you’re on the list….then you’re on the list.
Especially after the last 11 months (14 months for me, due to that surgery).
The phrase “White Privilege” gets thrown around quite a bit but I don’t think it applies to me until the thin cracker I’m using as my creamy Brie conveyer stops splitting in half. There. I said it!

I’ve grown quite fond of you all in the years here at DFO and at KSK, but with one command from her, I would kick you all in the testicles or female equivalent just for a slim chance to disappoint her in less than a minute.
In fairness, fair.
Hey, at least someone will end up satisfied.
Fair enough.
Those fucking water crackers are fragile! I have some. And brie. And fig jam. And marijuana. It’s going to be a lovely evening!
If Marilyn Manson is any indication, all it takes is one person saying “ME TOO!” and Brady’s done. I doubt it will happen it with him, though. While he comes off as arrogant, its only because he’s the best and he knows it, plus he seems like a nice guy. What an asshole!
Actually, I’m glad he voted for Trump. It shows the son of a bitch isn’t infallible.
The “Me Too” rules are different for NFL players – athletes in general, really. Look at Brett Favre. Or Ben Roethlisberger. Tom Brady could literally rape a thirteen year-old girl on live television and his legacy would emerge unscathed.
I’d watch that
Just like Trump!!!

Can’t say I want to jump on the defend Marilyn Manson train (for anything). And if you’re 30+, don’t date teenagers. It’s creepy and has an inherent power imbalance and everyone should know better.

Nice try, buddy, but I’m not falling for that again.
I clicked and got a 404 Page Not Found. At least it wasn’t Rick Astley.
Same. Looks like the Door Broke Open. This is what it was supposed to be (assuming pic uploads properly).
If I understand cartoons and old sitcoms properly, if you konk him on the head again he will get his memory back.
No, that will take him back in time where he is a knight. You need to reference 80’s General Hospital for the memory to come back.
Nobody needs another blonde Aztec princess.
You spelled “slipping” wrong.
According to detailed election maps in today’s New York Times, everybody who lives under the giant freeway interchange between the 405 and the 105 in L.A. County voted for Donald Trump. And I mean everybody.

Hate Week Related Comment:
Not sure if anyone else had to go thru this back in grades 1-6 but every year a dental ‘person’ would come in unannounced (it had to be that way, otherwise dozens of kids would have called out sick) and teach us proper brushing technique with disposable toothbrushes and a lemony toothpaste that made everyone sick to their stomach. Imagine the taste of lemon multiplied by 10. It was so awful.
/anyone else go thru this hell?
We also had these little red pills we had to chew up and any place you missed while brushing or brushed poorly would turn bright fucking red.
Edit: Plaque is what they showed…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disclosing_tablets
[jumps up and down, pointing at Viva]
Yes! That happened at my dentist’s office. Completely forgot about how dentists totally called out kids-fucking arrogant pricks!
Dentass: “You’re properly brushing just as I told you?”
Me: “Yes I am.”
Dentass: “Just eat this pill.”
Me: [eats pill]
Dentass: “LIAR!”
(clutches pearls)
Didn’t realize I was hanging out with a bunch of anti-Dentites
Last year my dentist actually pulled that shit after my cleaning, to reprimand his hygienist for not doing a good enough job. Kind of a douche move to embarrass an employee in front of a patient, I thought.
Plus, you left the dentist office with red teeth. I’d refuse to pay.
I’d pay extra for…reasons.
I mean, what’s going on with that profession whereby, for decades and decades, there’s this need to say to someone/anyone, “YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!”.
Listen, you let her get away with a half-assed job like that and the next thing you know the Cavity Creeps are half-way through Toothopolis’s defenses!

I drove up there this morning to hopefully see it but it was gone. Got some nice photos though.

So the Columbus Blue Jackets’ alternative jerseys are apparently red. Who are the ad wizards that came up with that one?

The best we can hope for is that he’s busted Lance Armstrong-style and all his trophies are taken away.
Or that he ends up with only one testicle.
I’m fine either way.
Nah, the NFL would never turn on him like that. The best we can hope for is that he gets some crazy-ass form of leprosy from whatever untraceable PED’s he’s taking.
Strawberries prevent testicle loss
You’d think it would have happened by now if it was going to, but it would be funny.
