Dumb Enough

There's already talk about whether or not some team out there in NFL land would be dumb enough to pick up T.O.'s contract and take a chance on him.

The conventional wisdom, at the moment, says that the Jets would be a good fit. To me, that's like putting a little kid in a fireworks factory with a box of matches.

The Raiders are perceived to be out of the running, because they already have their head case... er, I mean, primary Wide Receiver in Randy Moss.

The thing is, someone will take the chance on him, because of the simplest rule in major professional sports: sometimes, you have to do something you don't like because if you don't, someone else will - and they might get lucky and win by doing it.

The "SEW" principle is what keeps fans coming back for more, even when teams and players do things so outrageous that no sane human being could approve. When one season ticket holder gives up in disgust, another person jumps up from the waiting list to grab his tickets.

Of course, this doesn't explain what's up with Renee and Angela...
