If You Look At Vegas

Mike and Evan have digressed into a 45 minute political conversation and Mike just revealed this "If you look at Vegas, he (Obama) is now a 1-5 favorite. Now that is astronomical." It suddenly occurred to me that Vegas is the stick by which Mike Francesa measures EVERYTHING in the world. Think about it. Horse races, football games, basketball games, playoff matchups and now the Presidential Race. If you have listened to Mike enough over the years, he will always use "Vegas" as a way to analyze an event in the world. "If you look at Vegas, they've got the Giants getting three.." So to hear him now speculate on the upcoming election and refer to Vegas as a source for predicting the future, it really is no surprise. I mean, why look at things like the candidates, the state of the economy, national security, the country's debt, when you can just look at Vegas? Shit, why didn't I figure out that all of life's issues can be determined by taking a glance in the direction of Sin City...

Is Evan old enough to vote?

I'm sorry, but how come it's always the right-wing white Republicans who are the war heroes and the good guys, etc.? Puh-leez. Enough already with only good sports fans are conservatives. Sheesh.

And if I have to listen to little Andrew from Boston Medical (the wee Evan) hold forth with his vast knowledge of human events one second more--I mean, the IDEA that he's being touted as Dog's replacement! Oy.

How about some sports without the McCain man-love? (And, you know, given Professa Francesa's sterling predictions and picks yesterday, if I was Johnny Boy...)

I think you tend to be hard on Mike. But on this point you are correct. Any time Mike talks politics he sounds like a Mets fan defending David Not-so-right. Stay away Mike. You know sports. And movies.
