I knew Wes Welker was an arrogant Douchebag, didn't know he was a fundy douchebag also...

[joeybee12]

Anyone see him at media day? On and on about how it's God's will, the outcome, God is in control and shit like that. It was really sickening...I guess this means God had him drop that pass in 2011, so we should blame God, not him.

1. And when are you going to return that vial of Pope John Paul II's blood...

that you stole for Notre Dame?

[joeybee12]

4. GIves the term "blood doping" a whole new meaning! nt

2. You didn't know? God controls all football games.

[joeybee12]

7. Yeah, Wes must be right...

God clearly controls basketball, so why not football also?

3. Manning is a republican -

so the two probably get along great. Sort of explains the move to Denver.

I saw a spread in Architectural Digest of Brady and Gisele's house and they seem pretty modern and concerned about the environment. Brady is known to be a Bill Clinton supporter - not sure what he thinks of Obama and/or Hillary Clinton but I would suspect favorable considering the types of charities he and Gisele support.

Denver can have Welker and Manning - you all have the better person in New England imo.

5. I can't stand either of them...

Two peas in a pod...this is going to be the worst super bowl ever!

9. Actually, no

that'd be last year's.

[joeybee12]

11. This year's makes last year's look like heaven in comparison! nt

6. Funnies:

8. is there a website that shows athletes political preference??

I used to enjoy Rickie Fowler....and then I learned he wanted Romney to beat the POTUS. So was just wondering who all the sports figures paid money to. Just wondering.

[joeybee12]

10. There probably is...a safe bet is if you like a baseball player,

don't ever find out their political affiliation...lots of rural farm boys come up through the system and their allegiances are really to the right.

[TBF]

12. Not that I know of -

I just typed "Is Tom Brady a democrat" into Google and looked through links that came up. I suspected he was because I had seen that layout in Architectural Digest with all Gisele's environmentalist touches and figured they were probably Obama supporters.

15. There is for donations

I can't access Newsmeat but I found a couple of partial lists.

13. Is that you Bill Belichick?

Lol. FYI the Denver- Boulder area is actually quite liberal- especially Boulder /CU- they call it the Berkley of the Rockies. I would happily live in Boulder btw.

[joeybee12]

14. I lived there 6 years...it's not as liberal as one might think...

They still love their guns and to desecrate the land...much better than most of the west, but still a cow town mentality in many ways.
