College football is a track meet, too much offence and not enough defence for me, the games can be great however if the team you follow is in a tight one with a top opponent, the thing that makes College ball great is the fact that one loss can kill your dreams, one loss out of 11 or twelve, talk about pressure.

I love the Badgers and Auburn, I hate the Michigan teams and Bama, Bama are ridiculously good.

Very, very poxy win for the Cardinals last night against an abject Colts team. 13-3 down in the 4th quarter and the one play they made, a long pass for TD to JJ Nelson brought them back into it. Then Dawson missed a 42 yarder to win the game as time expired. Luckily the defense made a play in OT, Honeybadger picking off Brissett. A couple of runs later and Dawson kicked the game winner for redemption.

1-1 but a very bad 1-1. It's going to be a long year unless Palmer stops hearing footsteps.

Trump throwing his toys today that Steph and the Warriors don't want to go and see him.

Melo off to the Thunder.

Him and Westbrook on the same team

Thunder are really making a play to keep Westbrook happy and in-house. May even tempt George to stick around for more than a season if it works well. After Durant betrayed them it's good to see them back on their feet, one of the more likeable franchises.

George will do well to touch the ball with Westbrook and Melo alongside him.

Trump tweeting about these pesky football players disrespecting the national anthem by taking a knee rather than standing.

Lebron called him a bum over the Curry thing.

You'll see a dramatic increase in the kneeling now.

Well done Trump. Shame you can't be so emphatic when it comes to white supremacists.

LeBron vs Trump

One the subject of many legitimate discussions on whether he might be the greatest of all time, the other the subject of many legitimate discussions as to whether he may be the worst of all time.

The Goat vs a goat?

[gallsman]

Good to see Lebron isn't studied abut the fact republicans but sneakers too.

Steelers apparently are going to give the anthem a miss and stay in the changing room in Chicago today.

f**k you Donnie.

Give over snowflake, he called them out, he just refused to only condemn the white supremacists  scumbags, he blamed the snowflakes and their antifa cronies as well.

"Snowflake"?? You're such a f**king idiot stew. Do you ever have an original thought?

As has been pointed out to you multiple times before, Trump is extremely quick off the mark when it comes to condemning anything that lines up with his anti-muslim, pro-christian rhetoric, but slow as f**k when it comes to anything else, especially violence against muslims.

And specifically on the Charlesville issue, he could easily have condemned the violence on all sides, while at the same time correctly singling out the indefensible hate and ideology of the alt-right. He didn't do that. (And you agreed with a post of mine to that effect at the time, in case you've forgotten).

And one wonders why you (who supposedly despises Trump yet repeatedly jumps to his defense here) would label someone who was there to oppose "white supremacist scumbags" as a "snowflake"?
