In Weeden’s defense, he might actually be a pretty swell guy, so referring to him as sentient dumpster juice might be a tad harsh. But as an NFL quarterback, he is known more for…

Pa. Man Didn’t Like It When the Steelers Declined to Take the Field for the National Anthem, so He Painted a Swastika on the Team Flag
The “funny” thing about all this outrage over NFL players (and others) deciding not to stand or participate during the national anthem (or the Pledge of Allegiance) is that white people are proving—whether purposely or not—that they know the protest isn’t about the anthem or veterans but about white supremacy.

Last week, concussion-ridden jack-o-lantern with curious sentience Terry Bradshaw stated that Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was a “nice” coach and “great cheerleader” but not a great coach.

Black People Don't Hate Dogs. We Just Hate When Their Lives Are Valued More Than Ours
My Pittsburgh Steelers are apparently courting Michael Vick to become their new back up QB. There are several reasons to be for (i.e.: the Steelers haven’t had a back up QB with an actual pulse since Charlie Batch) or against (i.e.: Michael Vick is the same age as “Rapper’s Delight”) this move. (For the record, I’m for…
