How do you lose a game when the opposing QB is 5-15 for 43 years and 2 interceptions? A 2.8 passing rating. No joke. Well, if there’s a silver lining for Saints fans, after today it should be easier to fire Dennis Allen

But yeah, this Saints game is a good microcosm of a bad season.

It’s January 8, and we’re almost halfway through an 82 game NBA season that will eliminate 10 of 30 teams from postseason play. Why doesn’t NBA just call those 82 games the world’s longest preseason and be done with it?

Oscar Mayer is looking to hire 12 drivers for year-long gigs to drive their Wienermobiles. Actually, “Wienermobile” might be a good name for whoever now drives Kevin McCarthy around in Washington.

The identity of the 6 year old who shot his teacher is being withheld because he’s a minor. But why do I have a feeling if he were an immigrant or child of color, Fox and other right wing media would be all over it.

And why haven’t the kid’s parents been arrested yet?

Amazing. GOP during the campaign was nonstop about the economy and the border. Now that McCarthy has a (tenuous) hold on the gavel, Republicans claim Americans elected them to investigate the Biden family??!

Went to try a Kevin McCarthy cocktail, but every time I tried to order it somebody objected.
