| On football: |
| Someday two quarterbacks whose synapses fire at the same time are going to go off into a room and commit to a treaty. They will come back out and tell their respective teams that they have reached an agreement and have a plan for peace. The two teams will spend the rest of the game marching the ball back and forth across the field together, and by the end of the 4th quarter they will have amassed the highest score in football history. The slight difference between the two sides will be inconsequential at that point and they will simply split the points evenly, as there will be plenty to share and they will never run out of numbers. They will at that point conclude that they no longer need to suffer NFL concussions, bruised bodies, broken bones and missing teeth for the amusement of the slack-jawed hoards who congregate each weekend to witness their degradation. Their conclusion will be: We are not helpless We are men What lies between us, It can be set apart, and ended - Stephen Stills Peace will have come to the season, and these two hapless quarterbacks will have made their names in history. At that point, Sunday afternoon TV can be filled substantive programming and "60 Minutes" can start on time. |
