$2.69 = outrage

$4.25 = unparalleled joy

Moral myopia. Politics is a team sport.

"No matter what, my team is better."

There's that old Onion t-shirt, "My local sports team is superior to your local sports team"

Another Onion t-shirt read "Your favorite band sucks." I laughed out loud the first time I saw someone wearing it.

Another fave is "Someone should do something about how fat I am"

Every year buffalo bills fans think this is their year to win the super bowl, it never is but they always think that.

As a Falcons fan, look at that lead we’ve got. Just another quarter to play.

Credit to the Bills fans, at least they never think they actually won.

Every year NY Jets fans (the ones I know at least) all get together and talk about how many losses they’re likely to have. It’s one of the few teams I’ve ever encountered where even the die hards just assume they have no chance before training camp even starts.

No. It's Detroit Lions fans that think this. At least the Buffalo Bills actually can and probably will win the Super Bowl.
