Outrage Over Postponement of Sunday Night Football
2010-12-28
If we're not "a nanny state," then we've become a nation of overcautious risk managers, also known as wimps. They don't play American football in China, but I believe that if they did, not only would they have played this game, but 300,000 fans would have marched barefoot through the drifts for 15 miles to get to the stadium, drilling each other with advanced calculus problems as they walked.

In a few years, they'll come here and conquer what's left of America while we huddle on our TV-room couches to keep safe and warm, watching "A Christmas Story" on TBS for the ninth time after a forecast of flurries has canceled the entire NFL schedule.

#7  Due to public safety concerns in light of today's snow emergency...

Yeah right...like they really care about the average schlub hitting the ditch. On the other hand, how many luxury suite holders were unable to book a flight into Philly due to the weather?

#3  It's a Coen Bros. movie, so I don't see how it could be anything but good. Best filmmakers working in H-wood right now, IMNSHO.

#2  I dunno - Jeff Bridges was a guest on "The View" sort-of touting the movie.

That doesn't bode well.

#1  All I'm going to say is that the remake of JOHN WAYNE'S CLASSIC "TRUE GRIT" had better be good!
