Take that, Peyton Manning

Please don't ever accuse Sympathetic Weather of not caring about sports.

Most fall/winter Mondays (and some Sundays), I am indeed ready for the football. (If only because it involves several beers and a good meal, but whatever.) During the summer, I can appreciate and enjoy the beauty of nine innings. And I am somewhat grateful to haunt the same streets and/or Italian restaurants as LeBron.

Although it might earn me a growling-at from shirtless men with orange-painted chests in the Dawg Pound, I must say I was gratified to hear today that the NFL says the referee in Sunday's Pittsburgh-Indianapolis game should have upheld flowing-tressed Polamalu's interception. (My family is originally from the Pittsburgh area, and my football "loyalties" reside there. Cry me a river, Cleveland.)

So, whatever, sucky ref! You are just so totally jealous that you cannot have hair like Troy.


Oh and by the way, that referee is lucky he didn't contribute to some Pittsburgher's death. It was a different play, but still.
