Remains of the day
Here's what I like about John Harbaugh (left). I spent a few minutes with him after his WBAL show tonight at the Owings Mills facility and talked about last night's game. No talk about a moral victory. No excuses. Very honest about both the bad and the good things that happened at Heinz Field. Very committed to developing a complete team that learns from its mistakes and does not repeat them. I'm starting to think that Bisciotti guy knows something about hiring good personnel.
Congratulations to the Chicago White Sox, who overcame a nasty down-to-the-wire slump to win Monday's makeup game against the Tigers and grind out a tough 1-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins to win the AL Central title tonight. I feel bad for the Twins, who stay in contention in spite of so much, but the Ozzie Guillen and the White Sox are going to be far more entertaining in the postseason.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rebounded 485 points today, wiping out most of Monday's disastrous losses, so I've recalculated my finances and now believe I'll be able to retire at 92. I'm sure you were all real worried about that, considering that I go to ballgames for a living.
I listened to parts of the Al Davis press conference today (that's Mr. Happy on the right) and have only one thing to say about his verbal assault on fired coach Lane Kiffin: Al Davis questioning somebody else's integrity is like me questioning somebody else's eating habits.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band to play the Super Bowl Halftime Show? If he plays Rosalita, I won't even care what happens in the second half.
Went to see Righteous Kill the other day. It wasn't even a righteous way to kill time.

Pete- Harbaugh is going to be a great coach. Ravens fans should be counting their blessings that we have him instead of nitpicking play calling and challenges. Hindsight is always 20/20; but after a tough loss it seems to be 20/10 around here.

Let's assume, for a second, that planet earth is overpopulated. Here's a litmus test for selecting those to be put on a spaceship to colonize someplace else.
We select those humanoids who believe that Al Davis still has all his marbles. Btw, i'm no Lane Kiffen fan. When i heard his press conference speech upon being hired, i thought he sounded like a moron.
Now, Peter, you may think that's too harsh a test. And, Peter, you know i like parlays. How about if we select those who believe that Al still has all of his marbles AND believe Matt Millen was playing with a full deck ?? That seems like a fair test for selecting those to travel the galaxy.

Pete's reply: I'd be fine with just sending those two.
