How can this go another three years and not reach our own [“I am the Emperor and I want dumplings!](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_I_of_Austria) conclusion?

If I read this correctly, the deal is between the Commanders and the city of Washington. If so, the US Government would have a say in the matter. Washington doesn’t really have self government.

On the other hand if it is derailed, I think it would be a good thing. I am not a fan of publicly financed sports stadiums.

You think Trump would accidentally do something good while trying to be evil? He’s just enough of a screw-up to do that.

Oh I know. I was disappointed that they didn’t go with that name.

Then again, that team has the record for the worst season in MLB history. So maybe it’s good to avoid it.

I was just watching an old YewTube vid about Obama’s funny quips. And my GOSH, he was funny, self-deprecating and witty as fuck.

Of course, I tried to find a similar time that FuckFace had been actually funny, witty or self-deprecating.

Squirrels.

I have only once found a Trump joke to be funny.

During his first term, North Korea’s Kim Jong Un promised the US a big surprise over the coming weekend.

Trump said, “Maybe it’s one of those surprises where he gets me a nice vase instead of a missile test. You never know.”

I thought that was funny as hell.

I’m hoping they rename them the Cleveland Epsteins, but it seems like a long shot.

In his first campaign he made a joke that was actually funny. Of course, it was at Melania’s expense, and was undoubtedly written for him, but still…

I think his best joke was when he signed that youngster’s maga hat and then tossed it into the crowd.

Is there a sudden shortage of cities pining to host an NFL team?

In his rant about the Guardians and the Commanders, President POS referred to Cleveland as:

> [@](#):

A sports question perhaps, but does anyone know what he’s talking about? I am a baseball fan, and I have no idea. Wiki says the Cleveland franchise goes back to 1896 (in Columbus OH), but several National League clubs are older. Is he confusing this with hockey’s original six?

Yes, that is exactly what happened. Cleveland is one of the founding member of the American League, but there were originally eight teams in the AL, not six.

It would be hilarious if the Guardians declared they were reverting to their original mascot and, in the next game, came out wearing Cleveland Naps throwbacks. The mascot could be a cartoon of Nap Lajoie.

The National League was founded in 1876 with eight teams, none of which were Cleveland. And there were also eight teams in the American League when it was founded in 1901, one of which was Cleveland.

And now I see I’ve been ninja’d by @SwissMan.

St. Louis is lacking a football team and KS and MO are fighting over the Chiefs.

Kansas City Chiefs VS St. Louis Redskins has a nice ring to it.
