I'm sorry that this TO fellow is so PO'd that he wants to kill himself, but is this really the biggest news story that Drudge can headline today?
What actually IS the biggest story today that Drudge won't cover?

I'm so fucking sick of sports fans and the sports fan mentality. That idiot's press conference was carried live on every fucking news outlet. I couldn't even watch the insipid cheerleading of how "great" the economy on bubble-vision because of some moron who gets paid millions to play a kids game for a living.
"First I'm gonna bother everybody I meet, and then I'll probably go home and get drunk."

Could not agree more. Our priorities are totally out of whack.
Bledsoe has turned into human tackling dummy, so I doubt T.O. saw the ball much down in Dallas. I can't believe the Tuna picked the guy up. They were going to lynch him in Philly.
Bread and circuses is a derogatory phrase which can describe either government policies to pacify the citizenry, or the shallow, decadent desires of that same citizenry. In both cases, it refers to low-cost, low-quality, high-availability food and entertainment, and to the exclusion of things which the speaker considers more important, such as art, public works projects, democracy, or human rights.
It originated as the Latin phrase "panem et circenses" (literally "bread and circuses"), and is thought to have been coined by Juvenal, a Roman satiric poet of the 1st century AD, to describe the practice of Roman Emperors who gave unlimited free wheat to the poor and costly circus games as a means of pacifying the populace with food and entertainment. Juvenal bemoaned that it was a deplorable apathy towards heroism.
In fact, after Juvenal's time, the system of free or heavily subsidized food distribution was limited to a minority of Roman Citizens holding a special token (tessera) entitling them to a monthly supply of grain and olive oil from the reign of Septimus Severus. The rations were probably too small to feed a family and the receivers were not necessarily poor or in need of free food. This does not change the fact that the food supply to a city the size of Rome was of primary concern to the emperors in order to avoid popular unrest.

My SO is a Bills fan so we had to endure Bledsoe up in Buffalo. I used to enjoy the games myself as I'd usually bust a gut watching "Moose" Bledsoe do his comedy act out there on the field. CANNOT believe Dallas picked him up. Drew should have retired YEARS ago. He's become an embarrassment to himself and others. I think the only way he could stay in football is if he grafts velcro onto his hands. I don't know how the Dallas fans put up with it.

Jerry Jones talked the Tuna into accepting TO against his better judgment. It's quite possible TO will deep the Cowboys out of the play-off games. Tuna may get pissed off and quit at the end of the season.
Life is a tragedy to those who feel, and a comedy to those who think.
