Obama agreed to move his speech to Thursday, Sept. 8, which happens to coincide with the opening game of the NFL regular season, a prime time contest between the New Orleans Saints and the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers from Lambeau Field.

The game will be televised by NBC at 8:30 p.m. ET.

Damn odd how often this guy drags his dick through the dirt, considering he's as brilliant as we are told he is.

Agreeance. He should have effed Boehner and did the speech on Wednesday anyway. Heck with the Tea-tard pandering GOP 'debate'.

Well, the problem with your "effed Boehner" thing is that he needs Boehner's permission to address a joint session of Congress. He could have done it in the White House on Wednesday without Boehner's permission, but not as a joint session speech. See, these pesky rules, that it appears very few folks know about, keep getting in the way. hard to "eff" Boehner when it's his chamber you are trying to use for your campaign speech...as that's what it was....and Boehner knew it. Plus, they had to pass rules on Wednesday to reopen Congress, and all sorts of administrative stuff...it was stupid in the first place for Obama, and really a lack of protocol on his part, to ask for Wednesday in the first place. If Wednesday was THAT important to him he could have used the White House...obviously a joint session prime time campaign speech was much more important to him than "effing Boehner".

Why are all the libs so afraid of the Tea Party folks? It's not even an organized "party". Funny how a bunch of citizens exercising their constitutional rights can get so many people so upset. Don't recall all the libs complaining about those marches and protests in the 60's and early 70's by all the lefty groups. Why the aghast now about a bunch of citizens trying to get a point about fiscal restraint across to Congress? What are the libs so afraid of?

      Some college football head coaches struggle with the NIL and Portal era...and give it up

      Jimbo Fisher was fired by A$M and got $78m to sit on a beach. Malzahn would have received $15m to sit on a beach if he were fired. Instead he just walked away to take a $1.5M a year job.

      Head Coach Bill Belichick North Carolina

      He says he wants to run UNC like a semi-NFL team, lol. He will soon find out that 18-22 year old know-it-all college kids are a lot different than 23-35 year old men. I'd rather this announcement was the Cowboys hiring him.

      Bowl Tailgating

      HouCat, appreciate your input and friendly banter. Your crew (literally your tailgate crew) will outnumber NT fans this year because: We can't afford bowl game pricing. We, with a long history of bowl losses, feel our 7-5 opponent doesn't merit playing a 6-6 team. We don't like the AD because he weakly addressed the NIL situation. We feel overmatched because our rent-a-QB (and WR, etc) cancelled his lease before the game and all remaining players, well, see the part about losing bowl games. We basketball. We tailgate, and $MU won't let us. And if they did, we would tailgate the whole game and not be in the stadium because, well, see the part about losing bowl games. We wanted to play in New Mexico or Shreveport or the Bahamas or Boston, or not Frisco. We don't want to play in $MU's house because, well, see the part about losing bowl games and because we never beat the team whose house we will be playing in. We can't afford to give NIL money so we can't overpay players on one year contracts that will require even more money to stay a second year. We don't like cold weather, or warm weather, or sunny or rainy weather. We don't like the uniforms that the players that aren't paid much decide they want to wear. We aren't willing to risk the chance that the $MU A/V system will be loud and will interrupt the band. Prove me wrong, good guys, or otherwise #FlameAway. HouCat, see you in Dallas. I'll be the one wearing green. And I hope to share a dram of a nice peaty, smoky Scotch with you. Inside and/or outside the stadium. GMG

      Some college football head coaches struggle with the NIL and Portal era...and give it up

      Malzahn, 59, said he chose to return to his coaching roots rather than remain a head coach distracted by new-age responsibilities. Malzahn walked away from $15 million guaranteed -- he was set to make $5 million in 2025 and had three years remaining on his contract with the Knights -- for a different coaching lifestyle. He signed a three-year deal with FSU that will pay him $1.5 million in 2025. "The job description of a head college football coach has changed dramatically in the last two years with everything -- transfer portal to collectives to agents and everything that goes with that," Malzahn said. "I'm just an old-school football coach. "I love coaching football, and head coaches, it's hard to do that a lot. So that had something to do with it. And then the opportunity..." https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/42916508/malzahn-dramatic-changes-coaching-prompted-move-fsu
