[Interesting Times]

Thank you. Thank you very much.

As you all know, our PC Sports Parody Award is given each week to the most compelling example of unintentional journalistic humor of the politically correct variety. This week's topic, Making Rush Limbaugh's Point Better Than He Did, attracted many excellent entries, but one stood head and shoulders above them all. Our unanimous winner is... Mike Wilbon for his brilliant "437th Valentine for a Player Who Just Happens to be Black." The genius of Mike's work is in the way he stretches the bounds of credibility while never quite letting his readers be sure if they're reading satire. You younger writers out there should make particular note of the way Mike defuses the potentially touchy issue of Donovan McNabb's dismal stats against the Redskins while filling the article with an aura of heroism and glory. In "Valentine," the excellence of McNabb is defined by the fact that his team won, even though his own play was mediocre at best. This of course precisely echos Limbaugh's "the defense carried that team" while simultaneously condemning it. Beautiful stuff here, Mike, and I could go on and on, but time presses.

Next week's PC Sports Parody topic looks like another winner: "Is the NFL a Hostile Environment for the Transgendered and Persons of Gayness?" Ladies, gentlemen and others -- to your keyboards!

Usually, right about now, after one win, the Philadelphia media starts taling about making the playoffs, almost in unison. Its quite amusing to watch.

I am an Eagles fan, but don't use the Redskins game to disprove Rush. McNabb was not good yesterday.

TWO Interceptions is enough for McNabb...CBS Sportsline two weeks ago listed McNabb as one of the most OVER-RATED QB's in the league....CBS must be racist....McNabb is a good player...he is not a great player.
