Not that I'm a right wing guy.  But when you watch these talking head shows on ESPN you realize that a lot of them have left leaning or liberal points of view.  It just seems like you can't find anyone who has a conservative viewpoint in the sports media.  It just seems like everyone is in the same group think.

Chuck Norris, since he was a judge in Dodgeball.

Crazy Curt Schilling, Ditka, Kurt Warner, Chris Colinsworth, Aikman, Al Michaels, Steve Young, Bradshaw and Jim Nantz are all Conservatives, or I remember reading they had at least donated money to the party. For some reason, I think I read in ESPN's book a few years ago that Bob Ley was as well, or at least a right leaning moderate. I remember Greg Anthony catching a little heat as a black guy supporting Mitt Romney. Coach K is a huge conservative for another basketball name. 

Big name NFL guys like Peyton, Brady, and Elway are all republicans, or thought to be in Brady's case. 

 

As far as expressing more conversative viewpoints, you might find a lot of these guys are more left leaning socially, but hard right fiscally. The social issues will hit the airwaves, not the money side.

When it comes to the millions of $$ these guys are pulling, of course they're wanting the 1% guys in office. Keeps them from having to look for offshore banking alternatives. 

And Jim Nantz is such a knee-pad nut-hugging putz, I almost throw up trying to watch the Masters. The fugging faux drama and whispering like he's standing right next to the guy putting is such bullshit. Why is he whispering when the guy is putting on the third hole about 5 miles away?

I'll bet he's secretly trying to pull a membership invite to Augusta...

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
