Feeling lonely are ya?

My girlfriend cried, but mostly because she'd somehow lumped the Patriots in with Trump, Bannon, etc. Her postgame commentary was, um... interesting.

Sounds like a smart gal you got there Andre, but I expected you to get more postgame than COMMENTARY!

Also, I'm curious what people (nastybunch...?) think about the playcall on the play where Ryan got sacked to end the Falcon's last drive. I mean, I tend to avoid questioning calls like that. They're above my pay grade, and it's not fair for me to critique aggressiveness when it doesn't work while praising it when it does. All that said... is Kyle Shanahan a blithering sperg or what?

Honestly wasn't in the mood for much beyond a shot of tequila and a trip to dreamland after that one. It's weird. I was a Falcons *observer*, like I am of LSU, UGA, etc., until the NFC Championship Game. I got sucked into it because I didn't really get to enjoy the Saints trip to the Super Bowl, because of some personal issues going on at the time, and the whole thing felt like a party I wasn't invited to. This felt like the opposite- a party for me, surrounded by largely indifferent people- until the Falcons lost. Trying to remember that last loss that pissed me off this much.

You can't just expect to type all that propaganda at me and not get something in return. Anyhow, the Super Bowl pissed me off. Went to post "for sale" signs on Kyle Shanahan's yard this morning, only to find that some other Falcons fan had beaten me to the punch.

I can't believe the guy with the foreign model wife and a sketchy history with the rules just won after being written off.

..and nobody said nuthin bout Hattiesburg's own Creek Wilson in the Budweiser Commercial.....If you don't know Creek, he's the man in the street that tells Adolf to "go back home".....filmed in New Orleans.

I didn't watch large chunks of the game, so this is actually the first I've seen that commercial.

Seriously? THAT'S what everybody was calling some grand political statement on Budweiser's part? The story of a documented immigrant from Germany? I obviously missed whoever was running on a platform against that.

Actually, there was no distinction between LEGAL and ILLEGAL immigrants when Busch arrived in 'murica (port of entry, N'Awlins LA). The first immigration law was not enacted until 1882.

Immigrants in Busch's day did not need VISAs (or Mastercards!)....as long as they passed a physical and mental health screening (Nugget mighta had to go to Australia, then), it was "Welcome to the promised land, amigos!"

(Oh yeah..it didn't hurt to be European, either...and those who arrived by slave ship were "documented" also, in a crazy kind of way)

You're welcome!

I'm at a bit of a loss as to how requiring physical & mental screenings doesn't count as regulation and documentation, but OK.

My point is just that the ad quite obviously showed him getting a document of some type stamped by an official of some sort, so there really wasn't much in the way of political fodder for people to grasp onto, but of course they did anyway because that's what people do now.

My point was this harbor: The scene showing Busch (who entered 'murica wealthy, so I doubt his travails were quite as dramatic as shown), getting an "Immigration ID Card" stamped, implied he was entering the country legally, or "the right way"......when in fact, almost everyone from Europe was given a green light to enter if they passed those 2 simple tests.

So, many people saw it as a metaphor against "illegal" immigration...but there was no such term as "legal" or "illegal" at the time....so just like you "said", people wanna believe it, because that's what people do now.

(By the by, a family in H'burg are some of the last heirs to the Anheuser family...and the Sam Woods Room {he's the one who married an Anheuser} at the USM Library contains some rare books and priceless paintings from his time in Europe {and ol' beav worked there when he was getting his USM edu-mication})

So who established that these tests had to be passed, and what happened if someone tried to enter without having taken them?

Anyways, all the commentary I saw on the commercial were from people either cheering or taking offense at its supposed "pro-immigration" message (again, as if barring Germans openly arriving through checkpoints is some hot issue). Never saw the reaction you mentioned, though I don't doubt it for a minute.

No biggie, buddy, I probably offered more info than was needed (imagine that? )

..there were 3 other commercials that took a political themed stance as well.....why no mention of those here?
