After going 6 and 6 in the bets that I placed this weekend on our new National Pastime, I was reminded why every season I bet Football for one week, and never again until I forget how impossible it is to cover the spread, and blindly throw money at a sport that is so unpredictable one would have to be hopped up on Benzedrine to think it a smart thing to do. There you are cruising along, when defeat is grabbed from the jaws of victory by some unforeseen event. Holding, fumbles, illegal procedure, a missed field goal, are all the events that culminated to make this week even, when I could have very easily gone at least 9 and 3. Betting football is a dangerous business, and those that do so have got to be considered just as dangerous. Which of course brings us to McCain, (Okay, maybe I brought us there) a true reformer the moment that reform is needed, always first into the fire to make sure he gets the just credit he deserves for fixing the problems we face, after we are left Face down in a ditch. McCain has been talking so much smack these days, that one would think the campaign trail was in Rucker Park. America’s real problem according to McCain, is finding out who this Obama character is, and what he stands for. Certain now that the fear that each American holds on to will drive their intuition and lead us into the protection of a broken old War Horse, who will do anything to win. McCain is playing a brand of Oakland Raiders football, rife with dirty plays, and trickery, yet with no real sustained offense. His ground game is led by “Simply Sarah”™ a true American Hero for adding an army of Christian Fundamentalists into the burgeoning category of the new America that is that shining city on a hill, yet not ready for the game that seems to move way too fast for her.
The mud is up to our ankles now, but one must be patient that truth, intelligence, and creativity will shine through, that’s why Obama will stand alone on November 5th.
