"Fuck em," De Niro replies. "Fuck em."

Go ahead, Bobby.

That there is a man with no fucks to give.
Jay Gruden should be fired at halftime.
That's my life goal--to get to the point that I have no fucks to give
should i be excited about the giants? i might come out of fandom retirement . . .
Agree with TR about Gruden. Clean fucking house.
Josh Allen: still trash.
I thought Nicholas Cage was in National Treasure?
Too bad the Bills didn’t have the opportunity to draft a guy like Lamar Jackson or Deshaun Watson or Patrick Mahomes. This defense is so good they’d be unstoppable with a real QB.
Biggest sponsor of the Washington Redskins, based on frequency of radio ads, is Koch Industries. That seems abut right.
8 total turnovers in NYG-WAS. These two teams are a couple of bags of hot, wet garbage.
The Lions are good?
Christ on a cross.
The Bills were in this game despite getting almost zero help from their QBs and poor timeout management.
The Tampa Bay defense is so bad. They secondary in particular has been a disaster for the better part of a decade.
Minshew mania continues and grows. I dig him, but am too cynical to think this lasts more than a another week or two. Injury takes him out, leaving it to newish backup qb Josh Dobbs. Ramsey's trade gets sealed. In return we'll get a couple of picks that without question Dave Caldwell inevitabky fucks up. We win 4 in a row without Jalen, setting up "Duval" nation, in their minds of course, for a Pats rematch in the AFC Championship. Jags go on to lose 7 of their last 8.
Hashtag Jaguars.
WaPo stalwart Sally Jenkins always nails it:
One guy, Jones, is on a New York Giants team in the midst of an orderly rebuilding process, marked by rational thinking and a coherent succession plan, led by a professional front office with confidence in head coach Pat Shurmur. The other guy, Haskins, is playing for the Washington Redskins, the organizational equivalent of a drunken bar car.
As was clear early in their 24-3 loss to the Giants at Met Life Stadium, they are a team careening noisily down the track careless of their destination, full of sloppy passengers with neckties askew. By the time Coach Jay Gruden put Haskins in to replace a sore-footed Case Keenum for his rookie debut just before halftime, the Redskins were down 14-0 and there was no reversing or excusing this clumsy, jersey-grabbing, tackle-whiffing performance.
I kind of feel like we’d be the sloppy passengers with neckties askew.
To be fair, people around here think the Giants’s front office is a knuckleheaded mess.
That was my thought too, Z. All of the sudden the Giants front office is the model? Noooope.
Washington is pretty much in its own category for dysfunctional NFL franchises at this point. And they will remain so for as long as Dan Snyder is the owner.
I watched a lot of NFL football today. There have been a preposterous number of penalties. Some legit, some phantom, just an annoying amount of game-changing, flow-jarring flags thrown.
Tom Brady is 30-3 against the Bills, completing 64.14% of his passes for 8248 yards, 69 (sick) TD and 24 INT, good for a 99.3 passer rating. He has thrown a TD in all but 5 of those games, and he has 17 games with no picks.
Today he completed only 46.15% of his passes (lowest ever against the Bills) for 150 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT and a 45.9 passer rating (second-lowest ever against the Bills). It was his second-worst game ever against the Bills, surpassed only by his 4-INT performance in a 31-0 loss at Orchard Park back in 2003.
And the Bills still lost. This team has shades of 2003 and 2014--fantastic defense and zero offense. Yes, they started out 3-0, but that was against the hapless Jest, the Eli Jints, and the bungling Bengals. Those teams were a combined 1-8 through three weeks. Facing a real defense and a real coach, Josh Allen was lost at sea.
I can see them beating the Titans (fuck them), Dolphins, and R**skins and losing to the Eagles to be 6-2 through the first half of the season. They will then lose at Cleveland, at Dallas, to Baltimore, at Pittsburgh, and at New England. Throw in a letdown game against one of Miami, Denver, and the Jest and they will finish 8-8.
This could be a post but I'm too bummed out to write it up.
I snuck in my last sunburn of the season y/day, watching the Red Bull’s and DC United play a listless nil-nil draw. The sad shell of Wayne Rooney lollygagged around the field for a while. Tough for DC United to win when they have a striker that can’t make runs.
My kid was a ball boy. Very fun oppty for him and his teammates. He was positioned behind a goal, which got him a lot of face time on TV. Unfortunately, he was right in front of the Red Bulls Army, which is two sections of wild animals that stand, scream, sing and curse the whole time. My kid heard F bombs all game, and a smoke grenade fell next to him. Good times!
dc united got exactly what they wanted from that game. they had to avoid red bull getting three points in order to stay ahead of the new yorkers in the standings in hopes of earning a first-round home match. their game plan, while certainly desultory, got the result they wanted. rooney looked like his marching orders were to sit deep and disrupt the midfield as a prime directive, and he did that. it was an ugly-ass game, just like ben olsen wanted it.
in completely unrelated news, do check out billie eilish's saturday night live performances. she's pretty freaking good.
I thought showing and proving is the prime directive.
Did you know "that the United States has a compelling interest for purposes of First Amendment analysis in limiting the participation of foreign citizens in activities of American democratic self-government, and in thereby preventing foreign influence over the U.S. political process"? Or that the United States has a "compelling interest of limiting the participation of non-Americans in the activities of democratic self-government"? Or that "[t]he compelling interest that justifies Congress in restraining foreign nationals' participation in American elections [is] preventing foreign influence over the U.S. government"?
I know this because then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh said so in Bluman v. Fed. Election Comm'n, 800 F. Supp. 2d 281, 290 (D.D.C. 2011), aff'd, 565 U.S. 1104.
consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds, z. i'm sure now-justice-probably-still-black-out-drunk kavanaugh has been convinced of the error of his ways.
what if we let everyone around the world vote in our elections? that might be fun . . .
twice in the past two days, i've ridden in a car driven by my 15 year-old, who got her learner's permit on saturday. that's some nerve-wracking shit, friends.
