super bowl notes
The media, God bless 'em, waited until the second question after his Super Bowl victory to ask Tony Dungy how it felt to be black. I'd feel worse for him if his response wasn't basically That's not important. What's important is that we're the first Christian team to win it. And as you can see in the final score, the Lord took care of his own. How graspingly sad. How tasteful. I'm sure the non-Christians on his team appreciate it.
I think last year's suckfest has skewed perceptions. This wasn't a particularly good game. Stop saying it was. While I typed this sentence, three more balls hit the ground.
In the BCS championship and Super Bowl this year, both the opening kickoffs were returned for touchdowns. Both teams eventually lost.
Rain good.
I congratulated an Indiana native friend yesterday. "Thanks," he said sheepishly. "I sure could have done without all the jesusing, though."
If Philly fans want Garcia over McNabb so much, I can think of a team on Lake Michigan that could really, really use McNabb.
