I live in the midst of our nation's capital, and there's rarely a dull moment.
We'll skip over politics; it's verboten here (thank goodness).
But our sports scene has been pretty exciting in itself. It has been reported that the most dangerous place in DC is the space between a politician and a camera. This axiom has been challenged this football season by the space between a Redskin's QB and the opponents' defensive line. So far we've had two snapped balls followed by two snapped legs. For a time Washington subbed in the agile 56-year old Mark Sanchez, who had a harrowing time of it and has disappeared. The 'Skins are talking about bringing back Joe Namath, currently selling Medicare insurance on TV. Joe has “guaranteed” that he can resurrect the team's fortunes. The 70-something former pantyhose model has, however, some skeptics. There was also a brief twitch regarding the Reluctant Retiree (CK), which faded almost faster than Sanchez. Looks like another stinker for the uniformly reviled Dan Snyder.
On the wcbb side of things, Brenda has built an unbeaten record against every junior college program in the state of Maryland. She is bringing the Terrapins' style of play to an adoring local audience.
We also have a professional baseball team here. Fans are applying sponges to their eyes, as home-grown Bryce Harper is about to leave in his walk year. The 26-year old is concerned about providing for his family on only the $30,000,000 a year (for 10 years) offered by the Nationals. His hair grooming consumes most of his current earnings. Now he is focusing on feeding and dressing his wife and children. It appears the Dodgers, having sold or traded their entire team, have the best shot at acquiring young Bryce.
Closing on another OT subject, George Will has calculated that the only way to end a politician's presidential ambitions is with embalming fluid.
Happy Holiday to all and Go, Huskies!
