Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

The Best Part Of Yesterday's Super Bowl

What was the best part of yesterday's Super Bowl 47?

It wasn't that the two head coaches were brothers.  It wasn't that what appeared at the half to be a Baltimore runaway turned into a very close game when San Francisco staged a furious comeback before losing in the final minutes.  It wasn't two great plays from the Ravens' Jacoby Jones (going to the ground to catch a long pass, then getting up to run it in for a TD; returning a kickoff 108 yards for another TD).  It wasn't Beyonce's hip-shake earthquake halftime show, and it wasn't the ensuing power outage that delayed the game for a strangely amusing half hour of bad CBS improv.

Nope, none of those.

The best part of the game was that it was Ray Lewis's last.  The Baltimore linebacker is retiring, which with any luck should mean that we'll never again have to endure Ray's preening, trash-talking, dancing, bragging, "motivational" screaming, deer antler spraying, holier-than-thou God-praising-but-confessed-to-involvement-in-killing-two-people, self-aggrandizing, crying, face-painted bullshit act.


Oh, hooray, Ray.  You won.  Now go away.  Please.
