        We've been a difficult ally. Chretien didn't like W. Harper and Obama were frosty and often unaligned. Trudeau and Trump will be a treacherous. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 2, 07:40

        the shit hit the fan long before Trump even got into office. - groiny Feb 2, 07:39 1
        
        Lol. - znufrii Feb 2, 07:46
  - Basically anything that makes liberals upset makes them happy. -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat Feb 2, 07:14 3

  - We're too young on defense. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 2, 06:57 5
    - I think the key to winning for the Falcons is to run often from formations that look like they're going to pass from. - Inigo Feb 2, 07:26 1
      - The biggest key to the game is how carefully the refs call defensive holding and pass interference. - David's iPad Feb 2, 07:32
    - If I were a Falcons fan this would be my concern. If they get pressure on Brady, either around the pocket or harassing the WRs, it'll be a bad day for - Mel Profit Feb 2, 07:18
    - It's young, but I actually see that as a feature, not a bug. In a game that I expect will go up and down the field, I see the Pats tiring first. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 2, 06:58 1

This is dumb enough to be correct. -- (link) - Tim Feb 1, 22:47 3
