Massive Scheduling Boner by Obama Transition: Inauguration vs. Football
| Mon Jan. 12, 2009 11:01 AM PST
Guess who's playing on Sunday night at the Lincoln Memorial as part of the opening event for the inauguration festivities? Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Bono, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Renee Fleming, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock (!!), Heather Headley, John Legend, Jennifer Nettles, John Mellencamp, Usher, Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, will.i.am, and Stevie Wonder. (Don't live in DC? You can watch on some free HBO thing.)
You know who else is playing on Sunday night? The greatest professional sports franchise in the history of the United States (the Pittsburgh Steelers), which will take on a miserable bunch of thugs and complainers (the Baltimore Ravens) in an hard-nosed bad-blood knock-em-out match-up that will determine who gets to go to Super Bowl XLIII.
I've emailed the transition office to ask for a rescheduling. I'm not joking.

Austin, dude, c'mon. You know and I know that the Steelers have the number one defense in the league. They keep stats on these things, and the stats have shown one truly dominant defense all season long. Ask Joe Flacco. Him and his 0-2 record against the Steelers know what's up.
