There seems to be some internet grumbling about Chris Collinsworth and Al Michaels on last night's NFL game commentary. If I have the story straight, Collingsorth came right out at the beginning and stated his wholehearted support for the various protests that the players were doing, and for the so-called "Black National Anthem". Al Michaels remained silent. So, of course, Collingsworth and Michaels are being both praised and criticized. Some saying Collingsworth "didn't go far enough" and Michaels for leaving crickets chirping.

I didn't see it, but apparently that's the story for now. I suppose some will be calling for Michael's firing or resignation any time now.

Minimal traction, really.

fans in KC were booing the unity moment of silence

KC only had one guy kneel while the texans didn't come out

pretty sad knowing i care more about watching football then supporting the president who wants fans to boycott i think

the donald needs to know his role and stfu about football. i really dont care what the players political message is--they can have their pregame support groups all they want. im glad all but 1 stood for the anthem but freedom dictates you can kneel if you want--i have no problem. far as the black anthem they need to stfu and quit trying to separate us into 2 countries. united we stand

Freedom may allow this kind of crap, the cancel culture, all of it ...... but, we need more people that do have a problem with it and will stand up and say so unafraid of the insults that will surely come their way. Watch this 5 minute video that contains the reading of a poignant letter from a retired Marine to NLF Commissioner Goodell.

Just go back to the way things used to be before 9/11: the players were in the locker rooms during the anthem. Problem solved.

As an aside, people who schedule 3PM meetings on a Friday are sociopaths

Hard to disagree. They're the type of people who eat Mint Milanos at room temperature. There's a special place in hell for fuckers like that.

Top aide to John Durham suddenly resigns. Colleagues say she quit in part because the Durham investigation is being pressured to produce something substantial before the election and before the team's work is done.

Yeah, may they forever comb Beelzebub's beard.

Guess I should count my blessings it's not 3PM on a Friday before the holiday weekend.

Whitley: No conservative begins with the postulate that more money needs to be spent to help those affected by the pandemic. This guy is a populist, but not a conservative.

So just to get this straight, you think not one dollar more needs to be spent in any way to help anyone or any institution beyond what has been spent?

I put tilt in there for a bit more perspective, using 538 numbers

toss up 50-55% win for one side

tilt 56-60%

leans 61-70%

likely 71-80%

safe 80+%
