At a divorce court a family of lions is waiting for the judge to grant custody of little lion.
The judge asks the baby lion; “Do you want to live with papa lion?”
The baby lion replied; “No he beats me.”
The judge asked, “So do you want to live with mommy lion!”
The baby lion said, “No she beats me too.”
The judge asked, “Then whom do you want to live with?”
The baby lion says, “The Detroit Lions, they don’t beat anyone!”
As the National Anthem comes to it’s final lines, there is nothing that gets you as psyched up for the kickoff as the pre-game flyover by one of our armed forces jets. Patriotism is at its highest when we see them streak over the stadium with the roar of their engines as the game is set to begin.
God bless America!
This is why you don’t hear anything about Congress investigating The National Football League for steroids.
The San Diego Chargers are hardly professional football’s most prolific team, having advanced to just one Super Bowl – they lost the game – in 43 years.
When playing politics, however, the Chargers are untouchable: Team owners, officials and players have combined to contribute more than $2.4 million to political candidates and committees since the 1990 election cycle, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of federal campaign finance data indicates.
That’s nearly four times as much as the runner-up Houston Texans, whose associates have contributed more than $623,000 to federal candidates and committees during the past two decades.
