BRADLEY: The Bad Bunny Fiasco

February 14, 2026 Charles Bradley

The Appalling Press (AP) interviewed Bugs Bunny yesterday about his cousin Big Bad Bunny! After reminding everyone that no one gets to choose their relatives, the World’s funniest and most famous bunny said, “ Looked to my bunny eyes that Big Bad Bunny forgot his ears and his bunny tail.” My cousin, Big Bad Bunny, … Read more

Family Football Fun at Frog Rock

September 21, 2024September 20, 2024 Michael Moffett

Much of the fun of watching NFL games involves more than just viewing terrific action. Venues and fan interactions are parts of the total gridiron experience—whether one watches the Patriots play at Gillette Stadium or on a big screen at the Frog Rock Tavern in Meredith. I’ve been to Gillette, and it can be exhilaratingly … Read more

Bananas: Taylor Swift Wins First Super Bowl Championship & MVP

February 13, 2024 Johnny Bananas (Fake News Reporter!)

It seems like she was just a fresh face out of high school only a short while ago, running up and down stadiums belting out feel-good hits about young love. Today she is Taylor Swift, Super Bowl LVIII Champion.

Fan Pilloried by Progs for Tribal Face paint and Headdress at ‘Chiefs’ Game Is Descended from the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians

November 29, 2023November 29, 2023 Steve MacDonald

The rage-mongers in the social-justice media like to get out in front of their skis if you take me meaning. Cart before the horse. Tail wagging the dog. It happens often, but this is just embarrassing.

One Knee Equals Two Feet—and Football Rule Changes

January 25, 2023 Michael Moffett

As a citizen-legislator, I know very well how hard it is to pass a law. It shouldn’t be easy, but gosh, I sometimes wonder why it’s often so difficult. Still, it’s very rewarding to finally get a bill over the “goal line” and into statute.

Sports Should Not be Life or Death

January 3, 2023 Ray Cardello

I will not condemn sports or the violence of some of the contact sports we love and enjoy. That is not the purpose of my writing today. Science and technology have made tremendous gains in designing equipment for the maximum safety of athletes.

That Washington Football Team has Rebranded Again – And It Might Be “Worse” Than Redskins.

February 2, 2022 Steve MacDonald

That Washington Football Team that used to pay homage to a mighty race of North Americans dropped that ball ‘cuz racism or something. Since then, they’ve made the NFL universe suffer the name ‘Washington Football Team.’ That’ abuse is about to end.

Gruden and Northam—a Tale of Two Scandals

December 10, 2021 Michael Moffett

Former Las Vegas Raider coach Jon Gruden is suing the NFL and its commissioner, Roger Goodell. Gruden resigned under pressure in October when tasteless emails he’d authored years ago were released as part of a probe into the supposedly problematic Washington Redskin culture.

Quick Thought -If You Need Another Reason to Not Watch the NFL…

Yeah – From America’s game to just being another Anti-American mouthpiece: Woke Takeover: NFL Hires Katie Hill, Former Obama Comms Director.

Golden Globe Trophy - and no one bashed Donald Trump

Does Golden Globes Ratings Collapse Prove Hollywood Hasn’t Figured it Out Yet?

March 2, 2021March 2, 2021 Steve MacDonald

The Golden Globes was on Sunday night. No, I didn’t watch it either. I didn’t even know it was (and did not care) and was not alone in that sentiment. The annual event lost 60% of its viewers compared to last year.

It isn’t about Brady Winning Without Belichick, it’s About the Ratings

February 14, 2021February 14, 2021 Skip

Do you know what the real story is? It isn’t about Brady winning without Belichick, it’s about the ratings (Bwahahahahahaha!). Reformatted, emphasis mine:

Tom Brady Leads Tampa Bay Past Green Bay – He’s Going Back to the SuperBowl

January 24, 2021 Steve MacDonald

I know I’m not supposed to watch the NFL, and I don’t. I’ve not watched a televised game in years. But I do check in on the highlights. I’m also supposed to care about the New England Patriots (I do, but they suck this year) and not Tom Brady, who left.

Facebook’s Watchdogs “Create Another Fact” To Suppresses Our Content

October 20, 2021September 22, 2020 Steve MacDonald

Facebook’s independent fact-checkers are not just biased; they are sinister. Last February, they created a fact we never asserted and called our content false as a result. Facebook does not fact-check its fact-checkers, so wouldn’t you know, they’ve done it again.

NBA, MLB Ratings Crash After Protest-Filled Debuts

August 3, 2020 Skip

People want to watch sports and not be preached at for the length of an entire game (or in the case of NASCAR, for 300, 400 miles). With the NFL sending signals that they are going to also be Social Justice Preachers, I’m betting that will add to the decreased revenues as well.

Well, so much for this NFL season for me.

June 12, 2020 Skip

When taking a knee during the National Anthem was a big deal a couple of years ago, I stopped watching the NE Patriots. Sorry but I watch sports as an escape – I gave them my eyeballs and my valuable time to be entertained. I do enough politics the rest of the week so I … Read more

New England Patriots Tight End Benjamin Watson is Pro-Pats, Pro-Life

September 4, 2019September 4, 2019 Stephen Scaer

The crisp New England weather signals the arrival of two of my favorite things: New England Patriots football and the launch of our Fall 40 Days for Life campaign. And what better way to kick off both seasons than the 40 Days for Life interview with Patriots tight end and pro-life activist Benjamin Watson?

Michael Sam: Another Tale of Left-Wing Photo-Op Identity Politics

April 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Identity Politics is a photo-op fraud wielded by the Left to push an agenda. The people do not matter. Their causes and interests only matter if they advance Democrat power Politics. And the latest example is openly gay (former) NFL player Michael Sam.

Part 1: Back to the Windham School District; yet another self-inflicted wound, eh? Yes, teacher Elizabeth Talon, that would be you.

November 29, 2018November 28, 2018 Skip

“Are NFL players participating in Civil Disobedience?“

That is the question that was put to Elizabeth Talon’s class – but was the NFL really the true subject of this “lesson”?

First, let’s put a baseline into place examine the new Code of Ethics that was adopted earlier this month by the NH Board of Education in that a few snippets may well apply (found here, emphasis mine):

The educator accepts the responsibility to practice within the educational profession according to the highest ethical standards and aspires to continuously and consistently make decisions which are, first and foremost, within the best interests of the student.
There is also a recognition that the decisions and actions that the educator makes, whether inside or outside of the school and classroom, may be reflective of ones’ professional judgment.

The Clintons and the NFL just don’t get it

November 26, 2018 Op-Ed

By Jim Johnson

We won’t get fooled Again

We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong

-The Who

Bill and Hillary have finally failed, their much ballyhooed 13 city Tour has been forsaken for lack of attendance. There are still a few loyal supporters, but their unable to afford the ridiculous cost of admission. The Clinton’s penchant for other peoples’ money has caught up with them.

ESPN’s New Policy

September 26, 2018August 21, 2018 Op-Ed

By Jim Johnson

NFL Owners have relinquished their power to the players. Now, executives at sports television network ESPN have interceded to appease multi-million-dollar players by not airing the playing of the National Anthem before NFL Monday Night Football games.

How soon before other networks follow this PC liberal morass?
