The long offseason

I don't know about you, but Sunday's Super bowl was one of the best games I've seen in my lifetime. I was captivated from the opening kickoff to the final drive. Seems not that long ago that every game was a blowout (as a Bronco fan, I was often cheering on the wrong end of those beat downs). I'm ecstatic that the Steelers won, though, and have to tip my hat to the Arizona Cardinals with an amazing season they've had this year.

Now, the long offseason begins. Well, there's still the Pro Bowl next week, but other than that, football fans are left to listen to rumors about whose going where, draft stuff, and all the negative publicity that will come from players being out at night. Am I the only who notices how the never cover any good news about players until a big game?

So, until August, I have the NBA (GO SPURS!!!) and college basketball to hold me over. After they end, though, comes the dreaded dead time until the beginning of the college season (or high school...whichever comes first).

Foretelling the future?

I was watching Pardon the Interruption on ESPN yesterday afternoon, and as they were getting ready to go off the air, they made their pick for who would win between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Redskins. Not really being a fan of either team I wasn't really paying attention. However, they mentioned that Obama and McCain would be interviewed at halftime.

I already knew that, but what caught my attention was that of the last 17 elections, 15 times the Redskins have won the night before, and the incumbent party ended up winning the election.

So, this means, a Redskin victory would be a good omen for McCain, and a Steeler victory would be a good omen for Obama. Not sure of the score, but the Steelers beat the snot out of the Redskins, but in the process, loss their starting quarterback to injury.

Now, Obama lost his grandmother yesterday.hmmm...loss of qb=loss of grandmother? beating the snot out of Redskins=beating the snot out of McCain? Guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Just thought it was an intersting little tidbit.
