Post Election Musings from TD
Saturday November 7th
Ah the tears of conservative white snowflakes are falling! Falling, falling down to Hell where they belong along with their fellow racist, sexist, bigoted pricks who don’t believe in equality at all. Is it the time change of daylight savings that has me awake so early Saturday morning?
Is it excitement this might be the day Joe Biden is officially called the winner of the US Presidential Election or is it a beautiful Ozarks Saturday full of college football and food and music and cheers of different kinds. The week has dragged on for liberals, conservatives, and moderates alike. The Dumb shout “Stop the Count!” in one state while blowing out their ass mouths “Keep Counting!” in another and I bet you can guess what candidate they have given their last 4 or 5 years to getting on their knees like the ultra-evangelical lunatics they are. Yes, Jesus loves Donald Trump and his cult who worship Trump as a GOD what’s not obvious about that?
I’m the sports editor of this fine blog and am looking forward to a Biden administration where I can enjoy writing about sports without throwing in observations of a fat president who has fooled so many. Oh yeah sports!
What will the rest of this football season bring with the Big 10, Pac 12 and MAC conferences joining the rest of big boy college football in playing through a global pandemic? Will we make it to a college football playoff? Will the NFL get a Super Bowl in before March?
College basketball, a sport I love while not as much as college football, I care about deeply and am worried about so many teams attempting to play in indoor arenas all over the country begins later this month around Thanksgiving.
I can’t help but worry about the countless number of athletes, coaches, staff, fans, and even the refs who will contract the virus but Lord willing all have “minor symptoms.”
I’m the kind of sports fan that wasn’t crying and whining about having to have sports back during this pandemic, but also can’t deny how many sports I’ve watched since they begun. The ratings for the NBA and MLB were down much to the joy of right wing nuts who hate to see black and latino people succeed in medicine, education, government, etc. let alone sports but during an election year people are glued to cable news channels hoping to pad their agenda driven minds while cable cutting has caused so many sports fans to stream in different ways away from the old normal of cable and satellite television.

Wow, 20 days from last I wrote for this piece and Donald Trump still thinks he won what a dumbass!
Sunday January 24, 2021
The 3rd quarter begins in the NFC Championship with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers up 21-10 against the home favorites Green Bay Packers. The team from Florida has come into the cold, gray skies of Green Bay, Wisconsin and taken control.
WOW! As I typed that, Devin White, a monster of a linebacker for Tampa comes away with a fumble recovery giving back the football to Tom Brady in the Packer Red Zone. For twenty years it has been a mistake to doubt Tom Brady and many of us did again outside of the Tampa area and Tom Brady super-fan realm but here we are AGAIN with Brady in control to go to another Super Bowl. Yes, I understand this game has 29 minutes of football time left but it is not looking good…and Brady throws another TD to his tight end in one play and makes it 28-10.
A couple days ago, Joe Biden was sworn in as the United States President. Gone are the four years of terror for many Americans and not just the black and brown Americans that had to live in even more fear because the leader of this country was a racist bigot and his base was even more outwardly racist than before. These racists have not gone away by any means as they are still among us but the MAGA flags and red MAGA caps have faded into an underground bunker where Donald Trump now resides watching Fox News or even the more right-wing batshit crazy “news” networks only coming out to swing a golf club around shitily for a few hours with a sad compadre or two who hold on to the last strands of the worst presidency this country has seen and the fact their wives won’t nothing to do with them. Has the check cleared?
I don’t want to become one who still talks about Trump well into the Biden administration but I believe it’s important not to let up on the idea of the disaster that was Trump in America: a thieving, grifting, racist, and truthfully murderers of Americans. We are at 400,000 deaths from Covid-19, a statistic, that while fair nobody could have prevented all Covid deaths but all the health experts have presented the data that on par with every other country on Earth we should have had only 80,000 deaths. Nothing to sneeze at by any means but take it from someone who lost a grandmother to Covid, means that me and my family could have enjoyed at least a few more holiday gatherings and many a phone call with a person very important to us. So excuse me when I say FUCK DONALD TRUMP!
Aaron Rodgers delivers a dart over the middle to a slant running Davante Adams! Green Bay is back in this thing giving us football fans hope for a down to the wire gridiron affair.
Ouch the 4th string receiver for the Packers drops the 2pt conversion making it 28-23 Tampa Bay. How will Brady and the Bucs bounce back?
Time for a smoke and a piss outside the man cave in case anybody needs one too. Look, sometimes I forget it takes longer to think about what to write then write than it does read an article but hell we all need smoke/piss breaks.
Okay, let’s get back on track here. Brady launches one down the sideline and Mike Evans drops the 30 yard pass damn Evans. The rookie Johnson catches a first down after that drop to keep a much needed drive going. Jesus Evans, tips one to a Green Bay safety for the INT. This game is something else right now. Rodgers vs. Brady who wins the 4th Quarter and goes to the Super Bowl?
31-23
Bucs as the Tampa kicker sinks one from 48 yards. Aaron Rodgers has 4:20 or so to go what will he do?
31-26.
Can Brady seal this game?
2:02 left.
The Buccaneers win the game! On to the Super Bowl. Green Bay goes for the field goal to be down 31-26 and Tampa runs it out. LaFleaur fucked that one up you gotta try for the TD.
In the AFC Championship, the Buffalo Bills have already taken the lead 9-0 before I am even to turn the channel from the other game. Well hell maybe its because I had to take a stroll around the yard and stuff clear my mind before the next game that’s it! Now 9-7 Buffalo but with them punting, the home field advantaged Kansas City Chiefs are looking to take the lead on the next drive.
The Bills did indeed score that next drive and the drive after Mahomes has eluded two sacks in a row and now inside the 20. 21-9 Chiefs soon after.
While we’re here thank you everyone for reading this blog it’s been a crazy fucking year, but with a Democrat in the White House I am starting to feel better despite knowing there is 70 millions of my neighbors in the U.S. that voted for that Orange piece of shit. But damnit we have a Democrat in the White House. Times will get better, we will have a Super Bowl in a couple weeks (send me your Guilty Addictions score prediction and that means give me your crazy Super Bowl picks!!!) and I will be eating wings and drinking beer that day.
Well, unless covid grabs that game by the boo-boo, but we can all help those two teams by quarantining for two weeks in order to play it.
Peace and Love,
TD
