L&T on the pitch ...which is what they call soccer fields for some stupid reason.
Hi.
As you probably noticed, and as promised/ foretold by prophecy , there was no blogging on my part during my soccer sabbatical which was made considerably easier by the fact that my laptop pulled up deader than Bob Dole’s dick by the time we got to Phoenix. Obviously a sign from God. Or Ross Douthat. But now we’re back, San Francisco rocks regardless of 3 inches of rain and sixty mile-an-hour winds, and the dogs didn’t kill my brother.
I’m still trying to catch up but I’m surprised to see that now all Conservatives are bloated drug-addicted sex-tourists instead of, like, only seventy-five percent of them. So that’s kind of different from when I left.
Also. I had the opportunity to see the Lovely & Talented Casey draw a yellow card for telling the center referee to (and I quote):
“Call the fucking game both ways”.
Yes, it was definitely italicized when she said it.
Awesome.
Also. Also. Back Thursday with…stuff. And dogs.

What a kid! With that attitude, she’ll be kicking your ass all over the field any time.
Seriously, that’s pretty damn cool. Buy her a
beercarbonated beverage.Actually that isn’t very cool. In fact, athletes whining to the officials is very lame.
Apple, not falling far from tree, etc, etc.
Welcome back.
:
All complaints aren’t whining. The ref should call the fucking game both ways and pointing that out to them is perfectly legitimate. Good girl!
Let’s see. A girl complaining about an incompetent ref. Whining.
A rich white asshole complaining about not being able to buy an NFL team. A national disgrace.
Makes perfect sense.
I know the feeling of being a proud papa. At least she didn’t yell “LIAR!”
Welcome back.
Rush’s mouth puts him out of the running to be an NFL owner, and the RedStaters pull out Martin Niemoller?
Godwin’s Law is alive and well.
“Call the fucking game both ways”
get that kid a fucking blog!
Welcome back, sir. The earth has righted itself on its axis.
Now, is it me, or have the comments at RedState become even more incoherent(if that is possible)?
I give you Ms. Regina Groves:
First they came for the communists, then the socialists, then the trade unions, then the…..commas.
Nut-picking, I know, but christ, that place is like the floor of the Planter’s factory.
You missed all the fun with the GOPs new website, and there was a LOT of fun to be had. As soon as I heard about the shenanigans, I came here and then remembered that you were gone.
It just didn’t feel right. Anyway, apropos of Michael Steele, what up?!
A chip off the old block, your LTC. Spoken like a seasoned pro that was.
It wasn’t until yesterday that I actually read your final post before your SF VaCay, so I kept wondering ‘what hoppened’. Serves me right for being illiterate.
So glad to have one of my sanity and comedy touchstones back.
She has the Spirit of Beckham with her.
Context is everything. Lame officials deserve a verbal flaming. I’m sure the L&TC knows when le mot juste is warranted.
Man, when they put it that way, I want to gambol and caper like a gamboling, capering thing.
She’s still in the middle of the park? That’s basically leadership on display. (In rugby, you can bite off someone’s ear in the scrum with impunity but get sin-binned for backchatting the referee.)
The NFL is a boring, truly conservative organization that likes stability and hates controversy. Rush would be bad for business. It’s fascinating to witness this reality intruding on their talk radio & blogging fantasy world.
Welcome back – there’s *lots* to catch up on. And from now on, your daughter should be known as “L&T DFWM* Casey”. Look at her! A fierce mid-fielder (that’s her position, right?), sowing fear and discord among the other team’s strikers! Yikes!
*Dont Fuck With Me (what else?)
I would agree- in tennis where the calls are objective and easily verified. In soccer (basketball, baseball….) with significant leeway for zebra error? not so much.
You go girl!
Welcome back! Give us dog pictures!
And periods, too.
WTF? I could not read that for the lack of proper punctuation and the random capitalization. I think they are all Oxycontin abusers now.
Yes, the true progressive knows their life is complete when they get teary over their child swearing at authority.
Yesss! Then we can finally rip the ‘Question Authority’ bumpersticker off our rear bike fenders.
By the time you got to Phoenix, shouldn’t your laptop have been rising. Or were Jimmy Webb and Glenn Campbell full of truthiness
Lordy! The delusion over at Redstate is just scary.
Rush is blaming this tragedy in his life on Libs in general, and liberal sportswriters and the liberal NFL specifically — HA!.
I am just pleased as punch about whatever small part I, as a proud lib, may have had in bringing about the slapdown of that drug-addled gasbag.
Btw, the L&T Casey is a pistol. I personally encourage all young women to step up and kick ass when it is necessary.
“Deader than Bob Dole’s dick.”. A flawless metaphor. Probably I missed it, but has there been discussion that Bob’s second dysfunctional appendage is clearly Elizabeth’s fault? I doubt there is a heterosexual man in the world who could get it up for this piece of plasticine. All the drugs in the world, licit or illicit, can’t possibly make this elderly Barbie Granny seem alluring – not even when she was a maiden lady, oh so many years ago and for oh so many years. I don’t like Bob because I don’t like his politics, but he could always get it up to be acerbically funny in the old days, and I bet he could get it up to do the job when he was dating actual living, breathing women. But, honestly, to be married to this grotesque and to be expected to actually rise to the occasion? I don’t think so, but I’m queer. Maybe some of you straight guys can set me straight, so to speak. What I want to know is, how much drugs is enough to make it possible for you to lay the lady from North Carolina?
“Call the fucking game both ways”
A yellow card? When I were a lad, you’d get smacked in the head, and banned for life. Of course, life expectancies were much lower then.
No shit – officials must be more tolerant these days.
Never having played soccer, I am wondering if this is similar to being sentenced to a time-out on the little green bench?
By the way, FDL keeps logging me out automatically, necessitating resetting my password–because who can remember all the ATM and work-related passwords–AND keep blog passwords straight? And I always get routed to to other blogs that I rarely read. Who can I blame THIS effing SNAFU on? And if I get a card for using a bad word, can I have a blue one?
Blue cards are especially powerful — some immigrants use them with the yellow ones to make green cards, and then they’re set for life!
Darn! Someone else figured out my plan to sell blue cards to immigrants at the swap meet!
So they’re all Rush Limbaugh now. I don’t know that it would take all of them to make a Rush Limbaugh but, it would take at least several of them. The fat fuck looks like he inhaled a couple of normal people.
I WANT DOGGIES NAOW.

At least she didn’t call him a cocksucker.
The Red State post is pure wingnut gold. I love how wingnuts shout that privately-owned businesses need to have the freedom to run their affairs without interference, but that freedom goes out the window when those businesses do something they disagree with. Maybe they’ll start referring to them as activist owners.
The point they miss on the Rush flap is that his comments about McNabb (surely the prime source of the NFL flap) were not only thinly veiled racism, they were completely ignorant of what was happening in the NFL. McNabb was considered by most analysts to be one of the best young QBs in the game, regardless of race, and players like Doug Williams, Randall Cunningham, Warren Moon, and Steve McNair had broken the QB color barrier. By the time Rush made his idiotic statement in ’03, black QBs didn’t need to be propped up — they were being drafted and starting regularly.
However, I am keeping my fingers crossed for a conservative boycott of the NFL. That would keep them out of 2 of the 3 sports I like to follow.
Welcome back. I am SOOOOOOO stealing that…
T. I heard you are part italian. In which case you should teach your daughter the proper way to flip off soccer refs -
With hand firmly on crotch, yell “Stu cazz!”
Aaah, the little darlings. It reminds me of my son playing high school basketball. I specifically remember asking him to not embarrass me during a game where a few of my co-workers’ sons were on the opposing team. He managed to get a ‘T’. It was one of those fake pumps where he bopped his opponent right in the face. After the game, one of the moms told me she didn’t think he did it on purpose……such innocence.
LOL, TBogg. Welcome back.
LTC was clearly and most obviously raised by good parents.
I was in a close but easily winnable tennis match in H.S. when my coach said to me, through the chain-link, something along the lines of, “You need to play better.”
I said, “That’s the kind of wisdom that makes you the coach,” or something in the precise tone and meaning, loud enough for our 10 fans to hear.
I was raised by good parents, too.
I had a coach who wanted our team to get a yellow card or two every game. Good for L&T.
Also, that Red State piece was hilarious.
“Tonight the left proved that they will stop at nothing to end our dreams.”
Actually Rush crashing and burning is my dream come true!
“Tonight Rush became the metaphor for all of us… every man woman and child in this great nation of ours.”
This “man woman” he speaks of? I don’t think the drug-addled-gas-bag would approve of “man woman”…….
Also, the problem with marriage: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/13/2010-california-marriage_n_318639.html
I was smiling for an hour after reading the L&TC’s “protest” to the ref.
It warmed my heart to know that the Boggsnark™ gene has been successfully passed on to the next generation.
Here’s hoping L&T runs for Congress so she can hold up yellow cards for Republicans.
One of my favorite sports euphemisms: L&TC was booked for “dissent”.
It’s a good thing that doesn’t apply in real life.
