Wait, that’s not really news, it happens practically every day.

I was trying to think about who he was tonight. It’s interesting: he is post-racial, by all appearances. I forgot he was black tonight for an hour. You know, he’s gone a long way to become a leader of this country, and past so much history, in just a year or two. I mean, it’s something we don’t even think about. I was watching, I said, wait a minute, he’s an African American guy in front of a bunch of other white people. And here he is president of the United States and we’ve completely forgotten that tonight — completely forgotten it. I think it was in the scope of his discussion. It was so broad-ranging, so in tune with so many problems, of aspects, and aspects of American life that you don’t think in terms of the old tribalism, the old ethnicity. It was astounding in that regard. A very subtle fact. It’s so hard to talk about. Maybe I shouldn’t talk about it, but I am. I thought it was profound that way.

She was so excited but then I think she felt let down that they didn’t bring any for her.

Boom Goes The Sports Report

We know you’ve seen this classic, but it’s worth watching a few hundred more times. Nothing like dead air followed by “boom goes the dynamite”. Where is this kid now? I really thought he’d be on Sports Center by now.
