They are OK for a team without quarterbacks. I have never had a strong loyalty to any particular team and tend to follow players (most in the distant past). My default teams would be the Giants and the Browns. The players included Del Shofner, Jim Brown, Fran Tarkenton (on the Vikings as well as on the Giants) and Lawrence Taylor.

Of course, those teams and players are in mere football. I am actually much more of a baseball fan generally and a Yankees fan particularly. I look forward to such young players as Joba (not Neville) Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, Ian Kennedy, Austin Romine, Chase Weems, Carmen Angelini, Robinson Cano, Jose Tabata, Austin (Action) Jackson, Mark Melancon, Ross Ohlendorf, Jose Montero and many other current minor league stars in the Yankee system establishing themselves in the Bronx and destroying the Red Sox. Minnesota can keep Johann Santana. I want our farm system to be left intact. Think of the Red Sox five years from now as far better than a functional equivalent of paleoPaulie but crushed and broken nonetheless.

My Yanks are not likely to win the World Series in 2008 and that bodes well in recent decades for GOP success in POTUS election years. I am afraid that by 2012, the Yankees should be ner automatic.

I like Paul, but I hate the Sox (and I REALLY fu%&ing hate the Patriots), and for some reason I found that pretty funny. Well done.
