Regardless where you find yourself on the political scale, you ought to recognize this as the kind of moronic quote you get from politicians who don’t follow sports closely, but try to act like they do.

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

In fairness, it’s possible that Molly didn’t hear correctly and added the “n.” It could have been “put” and then the sentence makes sense not withstanding that the “end zone” is really after both houses deal with it and its ready to be signed into law.
Reince does talk like he’s had 4 martinis and a mouthful of marbles.

In fairness, it’s possible that Rinsed Penis started the word with a “b” and said that Trump “helped bunt the ball into the endzone”, thus screwing up the metaphor even further.

A possibility. Not necessarily a fair one.

I’d rinse of my penis off too, if I just got done sodomizing the democratic party. Again.

Yeah, Rince Preibus sodomizer in chief. Sounds about right for most repubs.

LOL! Now that’s funny. My first thought was it was probably a typo where “put” was meant instead of “punt”. Still funny though.

Corrected quote: “The president stepped up and helped PUNCH the ball into the end zone.”

I wonder what led to the correction.
Too bad, ’cause I really like the silliness of the original tweet. 😉

So, possibly a misquote from a journalist who doesn’t follow sports closely.

Yeah, blame the journalists again. Fake news, fake quotes, Trumps people never screw up.

Once I was emerging from the GOP cloakroom after going in through the out door. That’s not the only thing that’s been punched in there. Now watch this drive.

Don’t worry Senator. I’m sure when the leftists take over for good in this country you will be able to walk away from your blog because there really won’t be anything else to talk about regarding college football… with all the concussions and labor regulations you know. And if you are implying that the left in this country is more knowledgeable about football than the right then you are too far gone to debate. But hey… if you can utilize a coed in your attempt to reclaim the metaphoric football domain then knock yourself out.
Just when I thought we were making progress.

It would help if the word “leftist” didn’t keep growing to include the likes of John Boehner, Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, preexisting conditions, the Pope, etc. All disciples of Mao and Stalin, amiright?
