Behold this glorious tweet I found waiting for me this morning: The first time this exact sentence had been typed in the English language, no doubt. What would Daniel Boone or George Washington think of this particular predicament? Little did our rugged ancestors know when they forged our great nation that things would come to this.
Mr. Iracane is one of the men behind the greatness of the sports blog Walkoff Walk, and a former colleague of mine at Deadspin. His tweet is sad and hilarious all at once, which reminds me of a certain NFL team’s effort last night in a certain far west American city. I’m not naming any names, but they’re current non-clinchers of the NFC West who have a fierce, robin-sized bird on their helmets. What a debacle … it was the only Monday Night Football game I can recall that included a laugh track.
Well, onward. It’s Tuesday, the stuff that dreams are made of.
