The dum-dum was love tweeting the Super Bowl, but instead of talking about the game he went on a Cliff Clavin-like roll, offering up inane bits of trivia.
Here was the kickoff-
Odd: “Patriots" derives from the American Revolutionary war against enemy England. Yet they proudly hail from “New” England.

What the hell is so “odd” about the Revolutionary patriots proudly hailing from “New” England?
The pilgrims left England, landed here and called it NEW England, just like if there was somewhere for the disgruntled to sail we’d most likely call it NEW America, or BETTER America, or America 2.0.
This guy actually has the ability to make me angry, he’s that stupid, and the more he opens his Dorito-chute the more it becomes obvious that he’s an affirmative action recipient.
It’s like having Al Sharpton as the country’s poet laureate.
The term to describe him would be “desperately seeking relevance”.
“It’s like having Al Sharpton as the country’s poet laureate.”
Good thing Amiri Baraka died last year. He’s be really huffy about your slight.
I honestly think the moron drunk-tweets false crap KNOWING he will never, ever be called out on it, just to see how much bullshit he can get away with.
Because, you know, raaaaaaacism if you ever do call him out, plus he will claim he’s the royal smart person in the room.
Dan, he’s just a troll now.
Wait til he finds out there is a “New York.”
When he was a little boy, someone told him that he was a special little snowflake and he believed it.
I’d say he’s about due to pop out an autobiography. But he needs an aging, fraudulent, white has-been to ghostwrite. Algore?
@refuse
I’m sure he knows there’s a “New York” but watch if he finds out there’s an old “York” but it’s not called “Old York.”
I bet he can wax eloquently 140 characters at a time about how that’s fascinating and curious.
A site named I Own The World should in fact be operated by someone who actually owns the world. I suspect that Big Fur Hat is actually Evelyn Robert de Rothschild
Odd: Joan Collins was a guest on “Fashion Police” last night. She said, and I quote, “If you’re going to wear a fur hat, it should be big.” I shit you not. Some of the ladies here can probably back me up on this.
Played SOCCER in grade school, I’m guessing. In one of those leagues where they don’t keep score… 🙄
She said this in response to a pic of some hipster douche guy wearing a fur hat the size of a fez.
you gotta smoke more of degrasse to get it
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again–if it weren’t for affirmative action he’d be passing out hand towels in a swank Beverly Hills restaurant and offering to brush the dandruff off the patron’s suit jacket.
Look for great amusement to come concerning this dope.
Neil is letting his stoopid flag fly.
That tends to attract criminals who, like the bald eagle, can spot easy prey from afar, .
Yep, when I want historical tidbits I always go to the astrophysicist first.
He obvious wasn’t paying attention to the game, otherwise he would have waxed poetically on the calculus of the forward pass or how Newton’s laws motion apply to trying to tackle Marshawn Lynch.
I imagine NDT is one of those annoying people who can’t stand silence in a conversation and therefore has to fill the void with the dumbest of blather.
If NDT and ODumber come within a mile of each other, they will fall into a decaying orbit, collide and explode in a supernova of historic stupidity. Then they will collapse in an African-American hole of ignorance, sucking all the decency and integrity from the universe. Odd that.
What do you call a guy who falls on his face every time he tries to dispense a nugget of knowledge?
A quipple
He’s ‘Michael Mooreing’ it, just with a friendlier, Mr. Sciencey tack.
Wait’ll he finds out “New York” was originally “New Amsterdam” and “Cartagena” means “New Carthage” and “Carthage” means “New City!”
He’ll be beside himself, stewing in a great, stinking pile of irrelevance.
Nobody GAF, Kneel.
Affirmative Action + White Guilt + Populist Science + The Media’s need for Black Gravitas = Neil deGrasse Tyson
Mix with Fame and alcohol and agitate
Produce Bullshit fit for only Hipster consumption
@sgtzim:
Singularly odd! You’ve got the whole Black “black hole” thing nailed.
Well Neil darlin’ they wanted to call it” New Ireland” but the Protestants would have none of that shit.
Tyson is such a witty fella, I wonder if he entertains at wakes?
If this Tyson asshole ever had an original idea and a cold drink of water at the same time, it would kill him dead.
Get him and that goofy weatherman together…ought to be pants-shittingly funny.
