Notre Dame is a bucket full of blue blazer clad, snot nosed, spoiled little narcissists who somehow believe their version of Christianity has primacy b/c they elect a man 'King' of their church.
I respect the current Pope. What about Borgias? Or John XII? And it is pertinent. Just ask Notre Dame.

I can't fucking believe Notre Dame is so narcissistic & tone def that their sanctimonious AD thinks we're on their side. No on is on Notre Dame's side in this. Miami was the better choice. Fuck Notre Dame. They did this to themselves. I have no sympathy for them.

Notre Dame AD: ACC caused 'permanent damage'
Notre Dame's AD ripped the ACC after its CFP snub, saying the conference that houses almost every Fighting Irish team has caused "permanent damage" to the relationship.

I'm terrified. I actually agree with Paul Finebaum about Notre Dame being a bunch whiny little biznitches. It's crazy. I actually agree with Finebaum (& Stephen A.)
Notre Dame could have & should have joined the ACC YEARS ago. If they had, they'd be preparing to play in the CFP.

For the record, I'm not bandwagon. I've been an Aston Villa fan since I started following them in 2017 when they were in the championship. Couldn't be happier about 3 & 4
Rooting for Crystal Palace is a little like rooting for KState or Iowa St or Mississippi St college football. No reason not to.

I've been thinking about how shizophrenic our politics is. And I think I have an insufficient explanation: the binomial distribution.
Political sentiment is not normally distributed. It's like trying to predict in sports. 8 of 10 times your good. The rest? Of by 40 points. Beliefs swing wildly

We need to take back the House and show the world that in America, following the law is not 'optional' simply because you are rich enough to buy the Presidency & the Supreme Court.
Yes, I just said we need to hold the Supreme Court to the ultimate law in a democracy: the Will of the People.

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”
What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”
Funny how that works.

@notredame.bsky.social can scratch. You're a basket of intolerable prima donas. And, no, you don't have a direct phone line to God.
You have had YEARS to get off your high horse and join a conference instead of jerking off about your presumed spiritual superiority. Go cry in a corner.

Guess where your local university is spending all of its money? The goldarn rucking football coach!
I love me some 'sports', but China is currently knocking out geniuses because they've invested in education while we stroke it Lane Kiffin's next coaching stop.
Clearly, a sign of decline.
