McNabb will have to wait a while

This post was supposed to be a musing on the officially shunned but insipidly persistent notion that black quarterbacks are somehow never able to perform as well as their white counterparts in big games. However, it's really late and I'm going to leave that one for another time. For now, I hope it will suffice to point out that Donovan McNabb was able to put up 21 points on a Patriots defense that didn't allow Peyton Manning's overrated cracker ass to throw a single touchdown pass three weeks ago.

At this particular moment, my real reason for posting is to share the following quote from Curt Schilling, God among mortal ballplayers, on the Patriots' third championship in four years:

"They're the Yankees of the NFL, but without being greedy bastards."

And to reflect that, somehow, the pain of losing 50 bucks on a dumb parlay bet disappeared when I read that.
