Not For Long? The NFL mirrors American politics


I'm not sure you can have an in-joke without an in-crowd (is 2 a crowd?), but earlier tonight I was threatening to follow up my Cardinals/Democrats entry with a comparison of the Rams and the Republicans--both organizations, clearly, have bad plans that they cannot even manage to execute well--when Lonnie pointed out that the Packers may actually mirror the Democrats. The Pack is a team, he claimed, that steadily shows improvement and occasional glimpses of brilliance--marred with the occasional rookie error--all while working to again be America's Team!

Aha! To prognosticate the political future, the answer is clear: watch the NFL!

And then there's the Kobe Bryant-George Bush combo, suddenly a team player and all.
