Somebody told me....

These days you can't tell the players without a scorecard. To me, Trump, Cruz and the other GOP candidates sound just like idiot reichtards on the internet. The obvious thought is that the trolls are parroting their favorite leaders but, I'm suspecting that the leaders are taking their cues and stances from their favorite trolls.

In the sports world, the Green Bay Packers have lost three straight games and, as anyone who considers himself a football expert can attest, the Packer QB- Aaron Rodgers, is certainly failing in bed at home. Or, the girlfriend is not putting out or she's putting out to much. There, I just explained sports. It's all about pussy. Too much, too little, win some, lose some. Get some.

Sheesh. According to some ESPN journalist, Rodgers may be slumping because of problems at home with his girlfriend, actress Olivia Munn. He based this on a conversation with an agent who suggested that girl troubles was often the case when an athlete slumps. This just shows to go ya that agents are as dense as sportswriters when it comes to actually playing the games. Yes, there are psychological factors in sports just as there are in any aspect of life. Fighting with a spouse can affect a QB just as it could a bus driver. It's just one of a myriad of difficulties any of us can have at work, no matter what work we do. It shouldn't make headlines.

But, it does in the sports world because a writer needs to fill column inches or a minute on a TV show.

Olivia Munn did some tracking on the internet and it's quite likely that the alleged sports journalist got his *facts* from a bitter, vitriolic internet troll. She found a local cheesehead troll who has it in for her as well as Muslims and blacks.

Olivia is probably right. To make a deadline, sportswriters will concoct possible trades based on conversations around the office with each other. "A source tells me..." That source could be another writer or now some scumbag troll. "I read that..."

The ESPN guy was likely getting his info from a trolls who is as knowledgeable about Rodgers and Munn as he isn't about Muslims and blacks.

And that might be the same asshole that GOP presidential wannabes are getting their, um, ideas from. Who can tell anymore? Trump, Cruz, various republican governors- they all sound like the assholes I deal with on Topix. Or the ones that troll liberal websites or propagate hatred on Breitbart.  And now they fuel our second place finishers. They are the tails that wag the lesser dogs. Not all of the dogs, necessarily. At least the butts.

It turns out that Rodgers is now reporting an injury. As A Bear's fan, I'd like to say that he hurt his vagina but, that would not be accurate. He's been playing with a bum shoulder and, more recently, a hurt leg from the Lion's game. It could be a deflection but, I don't think so. Football IS a contact sport, you know. Injuries do happen. Probably more so than girl girl problems.

And, politicians do listen to their constituents, I guess.

I guess that what you believe all depends on who does your thinking for you.
