When is Someone Going to Ask Him About Pharrell's Hat?

First of all, wearing a baseball cap when you’re a grownup had better be one of the conditions of employment or you really need to question whether or not you have a plan. My opinion. Who cares, really?

Bully

Boys will be boys. And some boys never grow up.

Yep, He's Gay

If you are at all interested in football or gay rights, you know that Michael Sam is gay. He was a very good college football player for the University of Missouri; good enough to be named the co-Defensive Player of the Year in the SEC, perhaps the very best college football conference. Most of us would consider Michael Sam to be a big dude at 6’ 2” and 255 pounds but as he makes the transition to the NFL, he’s a “tweener.” Draft analysts ask if he’s a little too small to continue playing defensive end or maybe a little too slow to play linebacker. All of that is merely back story, at least for today, because the only thing that really mattered about Michael Sam today is that he’s queer and he’s here. Time for some old white guys to get used to it.

Worst Case Scenarios

Yeah. It’s way too early to be thinking about these things.

Another New Beginning Begins

First things first. A belated shout out to our long-time friends Steve and Kathy for hosting the best Super Bowl party ever. Good food. Good conversation. And three and a half hours of Peyton Manning looking like a man who just realized there is no god. Good stuff.

Wishful Thinking

Does anybody really know what’s going to happen Sunday night in Super Bowl XLVIII?

Bitterly Cold

Is it simply petty bitterness on my part? Well, so what if it is?
