Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for December 04, 2018

A football team is going nowhere without a great OL.

Well, that was pretty offensive.

Oh. That must have been the position Trump played (playing)

Hey, Pig was just asking an honest question! Short fuse linemen are the ones who get offsides penalties all the time.

Troy’s right. “Skill position” is an insulting term.

How’d he rate getting drawn with a mouth?

If linemen had any sensitivity at all they wouldn’t bend over in those pants…

More like an offended lineman

Troy, you’re supposed to give an offensive line, not an offensive punch. That’s 10 for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Pig assumed offensive lineman was a skill position. How can that be perceived as insulting?

15 yard penalty ! Roughing the Pig !

You are a lineman, you don’t usually touch the pigskin.

I never knew ham needed to be tenderized.

Couldn’t wait to get his hands on the old pigskin.

Well I for one thought he was sure offensive (lineman).

We have a center, then guards. Why are the next positions tackles? They’re not allowed to tackle.

I’m guessing Pastis used to get beaten up by football players a lot.

Oh you mean those guys that have to recognize the defense and block correctly even as the defense is changing during the play. Yeah they’re not the skilled players, right?

So when was punching insulting guys in the face not a skill?

His brain damage from football made him think he was punching the old pigskin.

they’re all just future patients

What a jerk

Is this guy friends with Kareem Hunt?

i’m now anxiously awaiting the worlds largest snowflakes revolting in this thread. #iwasWRbecauseiranfastnotbecauseihadskill

Skill positions/Kill positions

“The violence inherent in the system….”

Introduce him to Rat.

That right guard,should use Right Guard.Then he would be less offensive ;)

I think that was an ‘Offended Linesman’.

Pig didn’t insult him, Pig said it took skill to be an offensive lineman.

I think corner back is considered a skilled position as well.

Especially the Offensive ones!

Of the six other Offensive Line players, how many are household names?

Tell that to Tank McNamara.

Skill position? ANY kid can run, catch, or throw. Takes a lot more skill and technique to play line. Go ahead and guess what I played….

Testing….

So am I alone in believing that Troy, offended by his own remarks, punched HIMSELF in the face?

Pig gets punched out! Pig gets punched out! (In “sports announcer” voice.)

Pig has been asking for it for a long time. His luck finally ran out today. Sarcasm does not always make friends, especially not with Big Lunks….

violence is never funny

…But I thought love had the world in motion!! No, wait. That’s the English, and that game those Limeys call " football ". Sock-him!

Its true…
