(odd) football thoughts

We can seriously talk about electing a woman president but we can't get a woman into the broadcast booth of professional football games? Michelle Tafoya needs to break that glass ceiling ASAP. At the very least she'd be more interesting to listen to than Joe Buck, the Roy Cohn of football, and Troy Aikman, the colorless color man. That much I can say with 100 percent certainty.

Secondly, what if Bill Belichik is just autistic? It might explain his weird behavior, the out-of-phase affect of his emotions in interviews, the careful pattern he follows in dressing for games (why'd he wear red by the way? I'd think in a sport as superstitious as NFL football he'd stick to Old Gray for luck). In any case he sometimes seems like a person with autism or asperger's. Maybe that explains it. His savant/Rain Manesque gift is winning. When he's not winning, he can't relate to the world at all.
