Time out! Can we get some steel slats in here around Mr. Brady.......

No no, not a wall.....




I first noticed the fix was in during the super bowl of 02 (though it’s obvious that wasn’t the beginning.)
I could barely see.... the fnords were so thick....Was afraid I might’ve choked on them....

And yet I thought the deception innocuous...it was a time when we as nation so desperately needed heroes.....and what better heroes than our own armed forces....or at least a football (That America!) team that had a name that kind of reminded us of those brave men and women trying to keep us safe around the world...but, you know, FOOTBALL....and then the nation cheers in unison “the American Patriots Win!” and we all feel better that night smug in the warm knowledge that our leaders are keeping us safe so we should go back to bed and not peek behind the curtain.....

But it didn’t stop there......

And....

....It has gotten exponentially worse every year.

............Every.....
..........Fucking.......
.............Year.

And it’s chicanery like this....

.....the NFL becoming the WWF.....the House Of Representatives becoming the set of Jerry Springer....ALL IN REAL TIME....and no one bats an eye.....

....That makes me scream inside as I realize WE as Americans DESERVE this twisted porcine knowing nominee for a retroactive abortion as our PRESIDENT if we CAN see the bullshit right in front of our (insert drug of choice here...eg; hash, microwave burritos, white wine, Netflix, etc.) filled faces and still remain ambivalent......

I suppose it was just an unintelligible rant....but it just feels like the super bowl is a microcosm of our country....the build up for months, the whirling controversies that even aloud these teams to be in the position to be playing each other, Pepsi running anti coke adds in Atlanta, all of it....

And then the game itself.....how do you not stand up and say....”ok, fuck this, I Call Shenanigans!”

But we don’t
