Dear Dirty America

Samuel Calvert (1828-1913)

A reader comments at Current:

Who in hell is Adam Michael Luebke? Why should anyone care what he thinks about football? Hes probably still upset his mother made him take ballet while the neighborhood kids were playing football.

Thankfully I get emails for every comment I get at Current, otherwise I would have missed this gem. And there are others:

So deep. so introspective, so reflective. You changed my life, I’ll never watch football again thanks to your craftily guided written prowess and prose. My feeble sausage brain has been lifted from the trenches of your stereotypical box and into the warm embrace of your esteemed enlightenment.

In short, LOL. Dont hate what you don’t understand 

And one of my favorites:

I think this idiot has Current confused with the Huffington Post.

Here’s a suggestion – your diatribe here is about as important as who’s on Desperate Housewives or what vacuous pole dancer is about to win American Idol. GO away moron. 

The football fans are restless! This is how serious Internet brawls start. We’ll have to take it to Candlewick stadium!
