As you are well aware, the Chilean miners are being rescued after 69 days of being trapped underground. While the 69 days for those amazing survivors must have seemed like an eternity, in wacky world of sports, it really is forever. Consider that just 69 days ago:
- Ron Washington was more famous for being a guy who claims he used cocaine once in his life - at age 57 - and got caught. Now he's a manager who has won an playoff series and has a winning record in post-season play. Ron Gardenhire should start doing blow.
- The Syracuse Orange football team hadn't won a conference road game since 2007 (not a typo).
- The Dallas Cowboys and Minnesota Vikings were favorites to go to the Superbowl.
- The only over-exposure Brett Favre had was media coverage of his many retirements.
- A.J. Burnett was considered a viable starting pitcher.
- Turner Gill was still considered somewhat sane.
- People had no McRib certainty.
In all seriousness, the rescue is an amazing story and shows just how strong the human spirit really is. Our best wishes go out to the miners and their families.
