Dennis Allen actually apologized to the Atlanta Falcons after he told the Saints team to take a knee up 41-17 at the end of the game, and the players decided to get Jamaal Williams one more touchdown.
For those who don’t know, the Saints HATE the Falcons, and as one of two 9-8 teams in the NFC who didn’t make the playoffs (the 9-8 Packers did) nd a loss to Atlanta in a close and poorly officiated game kept New Orleans out of the playoffs.

Somewhere, if he’s not too busy preparing for the national championship game, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh “What’s your deal?” is laughing.

Of course, the 7-10 Falcons fired their coach. The Saints 9-8, just missed the playoffs and will get a worse draft pick. (And Saints also blew a 17 point lead to Green Bay with less than 11 min to go in the game earler this year. So maybe Allen should STFU about his players scoring. Just saying.
.
Apparently Brad Allen, who missed a critical pass interference against the Falcons in that first loss by the Saints in Atlanta, then missed a critical pass interference against the Packers vs the Chiefs, AND called back the Detroit Lions game winning two-point conversion against Dallas, almost called a penalty on the wrong team again today.
Allen is the NFL equivalent of Angel Hernandez.

Looking at the Happy J6 posts and not sure what’s scarier – the people who insist the violence was necessary, those who pretend it was peaceful, or those who claim it was violent but a government false flag. MAGA cult can’t even get their lies straight.
Anyone too young to remember Tim Russert sadly will never know that “Meet the Press” used to be a great show instead of a stage for wanna-be fascists to perform in front of hacks.

“Washington would be rolling in his grave if he could see the sad state of our Republic.” More like “Washington would be rolling in his grave if he could see the sad state of our Republican party.”

Mike Pence about poll saying 1/3 of GOP believe lie that FBI instigated January 6 attack “They simply need to look to the facts that the Capitol Hill Police endured great hardship and great harm,” How long until some MAGAs go back to the “Hang Mike Pence” chants?

Amy Klobuchar in book “Joy of Politics” tells of being escorted with most Senators to undisclosed location in US Capitol complex. And many hours later having to get police to break into cafeteria for food because it wasn’t safe to leave. . Scary day & night. Amazing and sadly Republicans who were THERE now deny how bad it was.
Would love to see some of these national media types, who treat every verbal stumble by President Biden as a sign of dementia, asked why they don’t talk the same way about Trump’s daily word salads?
MAGA Mike Johnson to GOP colleagues on deal after he & Schumer announced deal on US govt spending: “While these final spending levels will not satisfy everyone & they do not cut as much spending as many of us would like…” Over-under until when Marge & others try to depose him?

Going to be a rough few days with weather and some planes being grounded but take a deep breath and double check your plane before panicking.
Now back to snark.
