I'm waiting for them to say that the NFL is liberal.
Do you honestly not believe the same is true in reverse?

Houston doesn't need the super bowl. They should take the 50 million and fix the god awful road conditions inside the loop.
This. I mean **** can I not always have to swerve to avoid potholes

Bob McNair's old *** can fork that money over.

Houston can do a TON with $50mil instead of wasting it on a one time thing.

I'm sure it happens, but I see conservatives blaming "liberal boogieman" more often than liberals blaming conservatives.

Everyday that I turn ON talk radio or Foxnews liberals get blamed for something every 20 minutes.

That's because Fox News is an extremely far right news organization. CNN and MSNBC do the same things on the left.

I guess the ratings aren't as good when they stay unbiased and let people form their own opinions on things.

I have a hard time seeing MSNBC as liberal news organization when their morning show's host was a republican congressman from 1995 to 2001 (Joe Scarborough)

And CNN is just a joke, yellow journalism at it's best.

Lol, my buddies and I joke that the biggest reason for Fox's prevalence is the abundance of attractive newswomen.

Jane Curtin apparently agrees with you.....

Regarding the Super Bowl, the NFL is no different from the corporations who extort tax incentives with dubious claims of payback to the local economy. Rich people taking advantage of wanna-be politicians.
