Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 29, 2016
Transcript:
Man: What about sports? Is that considered stupid talk here? Ned: That's sort of a gray area. It's fine as long as you don't talk about he-who-shall-not-be-named, then it becomes very stupidly political. Man: Uhh...Oh...you mean Roger Goodell? Ned: Ok, trust me...RUN! Voice from out of frame: Who dares to mention the vile name of the BEAST?!!

Trivia: Goodell won the Tank McNamara strip’s “Sports Jerk of the Year” in 2014, and made first runner up last year (beaten by Johnny Manziel).

What about if Tom Brady’s name were uttered?

This is probably the first time I’ve seen the cat not on Eddie’s shoulder. Clearly, it has hit the fan when that happens.

Goodell is a liar. He lied on national television to Norah McDonnell on CBS morning television……it was a straight out lie and everyone knew it. Not a big football fan, but it went back to the player dragging his girlfriend out of the elevator after he knocked her out. Goodell said he hadn’t seen the video footage…..What a liar!!!!

I am trying very hard to imagine why anyone would know what happened during the NFL draft, and utterly failing. If for some reason you care about who will be suffering future brain damage, they do announce the results of the livestock auction in the sports section, you know.

I was thinking the “Beast” would be the Trumpster!

Politics and sport, hell, and religion as well. All have a fan base that will riot and debase their rivals if they win or if they lose.“Civilized” humanity ? I think not.

Guy can’t be too bright. He missed an obvious clue/hint about a name that should not be mentioned. But, you are right, Say What. I can’t remember a time that cat has not been cool through everything that happens. When it bails, everybody should.

If I knew who Roger Goodell was, this would probably be funny…

From an episode of Cheers, in a very similar situation…Norm: “Dive! Dive! Dive!”Cliff: “Whoop-whoop-whoop! Whoop-whoop-whoop!”

Is it my imagination, or is Eddie more “hunkered down” in the last panel to stay out of the line of fire.

Roger who? Guess there is something that isn’t just so.

Great Strip today ! I love the fact that Rodger ( the artless dodger ) Goodell has replaced Whitey Bulger as He-Who- Shall-Not-Be-Named in New England.The Roger is both hated and feared, Whitey was just feared.

Poor Goodell. He could do the right thing and have all of New England hate him, or the wrong thing and have everyone else hate him.

Does that mean Flo has forgiven Babe Ruth?

The better question is “Who wants to know?”

Apparently there is a big tap-beer festival going on Chicago this week, something called “Draft Town.”
Oh, [censored], it’s just some football thing. And here I thought it was something important.

PV = nRT (the Gas Law). There is no scientific data that the balls were underinflated.
