Wow, so this is probably how Washington works too. Start a friendly conversation on a sport and next thing you know the mud slinging starts on something totally different. No wonder nothing gets done. Everyone is too busy listening to their own voice.
Now as to Football, I like my Saints and I like the way they played to win. The 4th and 2 yards at the end of the second quarter and going for the touchdown instead of a field goal and the very brave onside kick at the beginning of the 3rd quarter. Now that's football.
