Obama, Roberts and Correcting the Constitution

Posted by: Mark Burgess in Untagged on Jan 20, 2009

Obama's eagerness to take the oath and the urgency of proper grammar for Chief Justice Roberts resulted in the necessity for a "do-over" on the oath of office taken by our 44th President on Tuesday.

Obama says his name twice, interrupting Justice Roberts "I, Barack...", but Roberts decides mid-0ath, to edit the Constitution.

As comedian Robert Wuhl points out in his deconstruction of the Constitution, our country was founded on a document with a grammatical error in the first sentence.

Eagles Get "Hoculi"d

Posted by: Mark Burgess in Untagged on Jan 17, 2009

With less than two minutes to go in the 2009 NFC Championship, Donovan McNabb of the Philadelphia Eagles threw a pass on 3rd down that would have yielded a first down. As the Cardinal defender fell, he reached out and tripped the Eagles receiver before the ball had arrived. The officials on the field let the play end as an incomplete pass.

As with Ed Hoculi's horrific call in the Charger/Denver game that cost the Chargers a chance to win, the officials killed an Eagles comeback. There was evidence, given the scoring dominance of the Eagles in the 2nd half, that they had the talent to come back.

In this case, as in any case where the officials blow an easy call, everyone loses. The Eagles were denied a possible chance to tie the game, the Cardinals can't take full credit for the win.
