I can't believe I just watched the governor of California in the MNF booth waxing patriotic with a firefighter from California. How ridiculous! The guy flew to NY, it seemed they were saying, AFTER 9/11 to help out. While that's a noble thing to do, and firefighting in general is a noble profession, why is this guy different from any garden variety fireman? And why couldn't they spring for a firefighter that was on the ground during 9/11? Not that it would make any difference, (it's all cheesy made-for-TV crap), but if you're going to play that card during the game, at least get a guy who risked his life on THAT DAY.
