- Finished watching the Cardinals win and apparently lose at the same time–a pyrrhic victory if you will. They beat the Rams to move to a 10 win season, but lost yet another QB. He hopped off the field under his own one-footed power and was carted back to the x-ray area. Who knows what happens next. This is why the Cards always keep three QBs on the roster. While I would love to see them get to the Super Bowl, I would love even more to see it happen with a 4th string QB. That’d prove a lot about the Jets–follow me here. The Jets are where they are because they don’t have a top CB tandem. One of the two they could’ve had is a Cardinal because the Jets wouldn’t pay. The other is a Patriot because the Jets wouldn’t pay. Both are likely to be in the Superbowl (unless the Broncos and Packers have anything to say about it). In other words, Fire John Idzik.
- Been listening to a lot of people complain about Obama’s speech about racial tensions in America. He didn’t say anything that wasn’t true. He didn’t say anything we didn’t already know. He did say all the things we didn’t want to admit. Fact: a lot of people feel treated unfairly. I think it is silly to deny that, or worse discredit the feelings of those people by showing isolated examples of racial unity in the face of overwhelming evidence of constant and pervasive racial discrimination. On the other hand, that’s the American way. We are a country that disavows its flaws. We are the country of ‘let’s move on’.
