When Phil Mickelson whined the other day that his taxes were too high, I tweeted “Mickelson whining abt paying higher taxes, w $47.8 million in earnings. Greedy bastard. How abt work a hard job?” Apparently, the heat was a bit too much for him from other quarters and so now he’s apologizing about speaking up. Bad move.

   There has been a lot of controversy about the pro-life television commercial that Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will appear in during Sunday’s Super Bowl.

So far, I’m two for two on this weekend’s games–though since I didn’t post anything, why would you believe me? So, to rectify that and get on record: San Diego 24, Patriots 17: sorry, Pats fans, it’s over. Seattle, 17, Chicago 10: It’s awful weather in Chicago and I see the Bears, with Rex Grossman […]
