I'm sympathetic to both positions here, re: the meme and poking the bear and whatnot, but also the idea that there's value in repurposing some of the lunacy out there.
Itd be genuinely interesting to hear from subject matter experts on to what extent something like that Biden tweet is potentially a trigger for violence and/or whether there's been evidence that past "dark Brandon" stuff is being taken at face value or inciting violence with the qanon/maga crowd. I genuinely don't have enough familiarity with the subject matter to have an inclination one way or the other.

An assertion: The NFL was better when the Super Bowl halftime show was bizarre.

Re: Football season USA
Reading Posnanski’s book on football, there’s an entry on a college game where the final play had 15 laterals.

Re: Football season USA
One of the most insane videogame style moves I've ever seen:
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
Re: Football season USA
I assumed that wasn't real, but nope, those are real players on the Saints.

Strange, but I can't find the photo of a couple Yankees fans (or stealth Sox fans) wearing jerseys of Aaron Small and Chien-Ming Wang.

Re: Football season USA
Taking a break from research, so I turned on the Lions-Bears just as it hit the half. The Canadian rebroadcaster immediately went to a sort-of halftime show—a couple of its team in a studio—and all they talked about was betting-related stuff. I get that the sponsor is one of those gambling predator operations, but so fucking icky.

The result was never in doubt once Trump picked the Chiefs.
