Mornin' Dave!

Morning. How 'bout them Steelers, huh? And Packers. Even the Jets. (We won't mention the Broncos today.)

Have any of you ever known or worked with some one who was illiterate? I have known two such people, and they were the most suspicious and conspiracy oriented people I have ever known. They consider people who can read as having a definite advantage over them, and they think you use it to trick them and lie to them.

There's a punchline in there somewhere, but I can't make it out...

I think it's in the notion of the paranoia of the illiterate. When literacy is thrust upon them they continue in their mistrust/resentment of what they have been "told" is true and almost by necessity will gravitate to a contrary opinion from what has been officially "revealed" to them. Even if this revelation is true, mind you.

The Packers played a good game against the Ravens. Glad we could help you out in your division! The Steelers are surprising people. At Tampa Bay will be a real test. I see Cincy got back on the winning track, too. Will Detroit win a game this season? (I mean besides the game against the Packers in Detroit--the Packers always lose there).

I was disappointed to see that the Cardinals lost. But the Diamondbacks' pitching has been stellar. The series with Atlanta should be interesting. And two Game Five's in the AL today...what a great time of year for a sports fan!

I'll be watching the Dallas-Washington game tonight on MNF. Will we see a 0-0 tie?

And tonight, we get to see actual proof that meddling owners who think they can buy/coach a winning team can and will ruin said team.

Should be low ratings for ABC tonight.
