In today’s Super Bowl, I don’t really have a strong rooting interest. The Giants are the only team that somebody I know (or knew) personally has played for, so I guess I’m with them, although rooting for another NFC East team…that don’t feel so good. But it could be worse. It could be the Cowboys.
In better news, Art Monk finally got elected to the Hall of Fame. I’m really not sure what the argument ever was against him, but by numbers AND by performances in big games, he shoulda BEEN in the Hall. I don’t even fool with the R*s like that, and I’m quick to say he shoulda been in there. Of course, it should go without saying that Darrell Green is a first-ballot HOF’er. Even though Deion Sanders gets all the glowing pub, if I personally were gonna take two corners from the 90’s, I’d go with Darrell Green and Rod Woodson. I like hitting with my speed and interceptions, thank you.
Of course my real question is whether the Eagles are gonna heed the appeals by both McNabb AND Westbrook to get some more weapons on offense. After three years of denying it, I’m starting to think that the window might be closing on McNabb. Personally, I think he has about one more All-Pro season left in the tank, maybe more if they get some help at receiver. Just once, I’d like to see the Eagles start the season with a full complement of starting receivers. That is, I’d like them to have a legitimate NFL #1 receiver and a legitimate #2 receiver, not just two dudes who do okay that they could get on the cheap.
What if this Russian scientist is right? What if, instead of global warming, the REAL threat is (still) an impending ice age, due to a cyclical decrease in solar radiation?
I don’t think of myself as a contrarian, but I do know that “global warming,” while quantifiable with certain sets of data, sets off some type of alert in my pseudo-scientific mind. I’m not quite slick enough to clearly articulate my reservations all the time, but most of it has something to do with the idea that the variable is too much us and not enough sun.
