Tom Brady didn't die, he's just hurt!
Good Lord, you'd think they were gonna shut down the NFL for the season and award the Lombardi Trophy for Super Bowl 43 to the New England Patriots because the whole world is in mourning over Tom Brady's knee injury.
Headline I saw this morning:
"Will Tom Brady's injury mean to football what Tiger's injury means to golf?"
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Golf is almost irrelevant to pop culture without Tiger.
NFL without Tom Brady? No offense, but, it'll be just fine. I've never once turned on the TV to watch a football game because "I wanna watch Tom Brady".
Had I felt that way as a kid, in 1980, after Dan Pastorini got hurt, I would have been like, "Well, I won't turn on the Raider games with Jim Plunkett at quarterback, I tune in for Dan Pastorini!!"
And I would have missed Super Bowl XV.
NFL equals TEAM SPORT. No offense, but no Brady is no problem. Please welcome Matt Cassell.
OH, and, from the how quickly we forget department, do you remember how we were all introduced to Tom Brady in the NFL??
That's right--the LONG-TIME quarterback of the New England Patriots, Drew Bledsoe, (gasp!) got hurt!!!
Bledsoe never goes down, and who knows where Brady would be today, or if we would have ever heard of him......
So, to all the TV commentators who acted like Brady died Sunday rather than just suffer a season-ending injury, take heart.
There are well over 1500 other players in the NFL. Some pretty good ones, too. We'll be just fine.
And besides, it gives you more time to fixate on Brett Favre, and you media guys LOVE to do that, right??

Avalanche of Media News......
There is SO MUCH to blog about......
....that it must wait until tomorrow afternoon. I need sleep tonight to make it through my half-day of work tomorrow, followed by a BBQ at work (a place of employment that likes to have families together! Wow!!).......
....then I'm coming home to say ALOT, because I have alot to say about the LA Times, Rush Limbaugh, Less Is More, when a TV station should NOT announce layoffs, and more!
And did I hear Brett Favre might be thinking there's more to life than NFL Sunday Ticket?
Happy almost 4th, everyone!

Obama crosses the Potomac, stakes claim to all territory.....
Well, the Virginia primary that actually mattered is done and Barack Obama not only won, but apparently made some inroads into Hillary Clinton country in terms of the support he received with certain population segments.
Nearly nine of ten black voters went to Obama, while he won among white voters by 14 in an ABC News exit poll. 60 percent of white women went for Hillary, but that's down from past primaries and is her strongest voter base. Obama cuts into that even by several percent as he has apparently begun to do, and Clinton is in huge trouble.
There are plenty of "reasons" (excuses?) why Clinton has lost eight in a row. Read here as part of this article breaks down how Obama won where....well, you let the story say what the Clinton campaign said, then judge for yourself.
Next up is Wisconsin and Hawaii, next Tuesday. Brett Favre and the late Don Ho. Clinton has already conceded them, showing her campaign strategy is to live in Texas and Ohio until March 4th.
But there was another "inevitable" candidate for 2008 who did something similar to this, waiting for Florida to be his coming out party. But it ended up being "waterloo" for Rudy Guliani.
Does Hillary really want all the headlines for the next three weeks to talk about how she's "pinning her hopes" by setting up a "firewall"? Doesn't sound like optimism or momentum to me.
