The Indians got More for Manhattan
Five Ohio State football players have been suspended for the first 5 games of next season but not for the upcoming Sugar Bowl. Their offense was to trade championship rings and trinkets for tattoos.
It was tough to decide which target to fire a cartoon at. NCAA greed and hypocrisy for suspending the players, but not until after the big money Sugar Bowl? NCAA greed and hypocrisy for claiming control over the right of free people to exchange their personal property? The stupidity of the players?
It was a tough call, but I went with NCAA greed and hypocrisy number 2.
Wuss Nation
Pennsylvania’s governer, Ed Rendell, was moved to pronounce us a “nation of wussies” when the Vikings and Eagles played the first Tuesday night NFL game in 64 years, on account of snow. He may have a point. It was the second snow-out this year for the Minnesota Vikings.
President Obama also got into the act by calling the Eagles’ owner to pat him on the back for giving Michael Vick a second chance.
Both man’s best friend and the Purple People Eaters achieved a measure of revenge when the Vikings won 24-14.
