    Thread title would probably be

    "Irritable Bowel Syndrome Question"

    Instead of some poor slub going to Doctor they would first come to SJ to assess their ailment.

    Earnest and helpful SJ posters would relay their own personal bowel stories and suggest remedies.

    I think Jeff MacGregor pretty much nailed it on multiple levels

    http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/commentary/news/story?id=6098363

    There was a time not long ago -- back before Sept. 11, 2001 -- when Americans were more suspicious of patriotic tripe like this. More skeptical. We knew we were being sold to. Manipulated. We were wary of the bunting and the fireworks, the martial music and the orotund speeches and the free beer and lemonade. We were cautious in the face of all those easy promises, because even worse than having the wool pulled over our eyes was having the flag pulled over them.

    This is no longer the case.

    Now freedom insists on our willingness to be suckered, to be gulled by the demagogues and swindled by the interests. To be hoodwinked. Bamboozled.

    Wow knock me down with a feather.

    Still think Mcgregor would have been a better choice for Roger Goodell story. That seals it.

    Must disagree with MacGregor. Americans were suckers long before then. See Greenwood, Lee and Ronald Reagan's campaign song.

    I can't be the only one who thought this was the funniest thing anyone has posted in weeks.

    This was fucking well-struck. Good job.

    There's just so many right wing wackos these days, they pretty much lend themselves to every topic. Like this one. Unless, of course, you and your little gun-toting bear agrees with the preacher in the link, in which case I can understand why you'd find it unrelated.
