      1. Up on the hill, in this once placid neighborhood, some indigenous North American Dudebros have moved in. They are not Patriot fans or Boston fans, but they are definitely NFL fans, with the "whoo-hoo"-ing and the "allRIGHT"-ing and the who-knows-what-all.

        Death to America.

        1. The Cheatriots look like shit today. Yes, I said it, obnoxious Pats fans- YOUR TEAM SUCKS DEFLATED BALLS TODAY!

          Get the fuck over it and be glad you at least get to chortle about Peyton

        1. Update (4:31 p.m.): Apparently Bill Belichick really did want to kick off, and the screwup was in Slater stating they wished to kick rather than saying nothing about kicking or receiving and instead identifying which end zone the Patriots wanted to defend.

          SMH way to go, Coach Supergenius

  1. I have to admit, Packers fans sure do travel well. This crowd seems pretty close to 50-50.

    Also, uh oh, Arizona's in trouble. James Jones is wearing his indestructible, lucky hoody! The Cards are doomed!

    1. Packers and Bears fans always fill the house at Cardinal's games. Where do you think all those snowbirds and relocated retirees are from? See also: sold out Cubs preseason games

        1. Them too, though it seems to be especially true for da Bears and the Cheeseheads. I looked into tix for this game, even the worst of the nosebleeds were overpriced and nearly gone by September

    2. The red & green crowd is so seasonally appropriate.

      (Also, the timing of this game means that you not only have the local snowbirds, but people visiting their snowbird relatives.)

    1. So, does that stadium have all the ambiance of an awkward little-used high school gym or is that just the way it comes on tv?

      1. Yes, a very large, very very very red (so much red! everywhere, red!) gym, complete with signs like "Protect the Nest!" and (you've probably seen it) the unnecessarily-named "RED ZONE."

  2. Seattle are so low energy right now! I feel bad for my very good friend Paul Allen, to have to pay wages to these LOSERS. Second half has to be better. BETTER STAMINA!

    With me as President you can be sure there would be no GIVEAWAYS! Team needs a WINNER like me in charge #makeseattlegreatagain

  3. The half time crime beat on Fox 2 Detroit is kind of a downer. Could we maybe wait until 11:30 until we think about little girls getting shot in drive-bys? Kinda doesn't help the perception that you'll fucking run with stories of black people shooting at each other whenever you can.

    1. IIRC, the author of the excellent The Gift of Fear said that local news is one of the worst things to watch–it only gins up the fear. This is why I get my local news from blogs FFS…
