An announcer on television just breathlessly announced that today's football game is historical because it's the first time that two African-American quarterbacks ever faced each other in a league championship game.
Who gives a shit? In the grand scheme of things, that's like the first-ever matchup between left-handed Ivy League graduates on a Thursday night game when it rained in the third quarter. Bottom line: McNabb is Eagles green and Vick is Falcons red.
Posted by Ted at January 23, 2005 03:10 PMIs that game on CBS by any chance. For inane "historical" cites, nothing beats CBS's coverage of the World Series a few years ago. Every few minutes it was something like "and that's the first time this that a clean-up hitter has for the National League team has sacrificed twice in Division Series game..." Truely truely annoying stuff. They even had a "scientist" demonstrate the impact, using a sledgehammer, of a collision at home plate the night before. Sheesh. I think Pat O'Brien was doing a lot of yammering with celebrities in the stands.
