Is President Obama known to be a Steelers fan? Lactose intolerant?

I really don’t follow football. Is there some basis for reality here?

The second strip (Jump Start) is also a CIDU: Doesn’t Jojo win the race if he runs into the tree before his friend gets there? A pyrrhic victory to be sure, but even so…

Three people sent me this one before lunchtime, so I figured I might as well put it online:
Mr. Barnes switched from being the music teacher to being the football coach as a way of increasing his job security, since schools are going to drop their music programs way before they drop their football programs.
Of course the joke would have worked better if Heart and Dean weren’t second-graders, since I’ve yet to come across an elementary school with its own football team (though I wouldn’t be surprised to be told that Texas elementary schools have them). Cartoonists should have a Gag Exchange Program, where if Mark Tatulli has an idea that’s better suited to a high school strip, Archie can use it, and if the Archie writers come up with a storyline too relentlessly grim for Riverdale High, they can pass it along to Westview High.
