Slight Rant, Slight Random Post

Hockey season can't come fast enough. Still. Hell, we've already had a goalie fight and the season hasn't started yet. If that doesn't get you fired up for hockey, then you have no pulse.

But hey - at least the last weekend of the baseball season will prove to be VERY interesting and well worth watching. With the Mets and Diamondbacks collapsing (The Mets just kept finding ways to lose to the Nationals...and what's up with the D-backs losing a September series to the Pirates?!) and the Rockies deciding to kick ass and take names and the Padres...uh...yeah, I'm looking forward to watching THIS whole drama unfold.

Well, there's the slight random post. Now, on to the slight rant.

*ahem*

Donovan McNabb posted a "perfect" quarterback rating on the Lions this past Sunday in what had to have been the most entertaining football game since...well...Cincinnati and Cleveland the week before. Which is great - teams posting 40-plus points on each other or turning the ball over five or six times apiece is my kinda football game.

But here's my problem: The "perfect" quarterback rating is 158.3. Where the hell did THAT number come from?! In baseball, a perfect game is the opposing batters going 0 for 27. A perfect game in bowling is 300. A perfect football quarterback rating is 158.3?! What in the world is that decimal doing there? Earth to Football "Experts": If you want a number to associate with perfection in football, please have the decency to make it a whole number, will ya? Preferably a round number. Please? For the sake of humanity. And oh yeah - you don't make your point or "analysis" clearer by yelling it at us. You just make us hate you and mute our TVs. Kinda defeats the purpose of you even talking, let alone yelling, doesn't it?

Well, that felt good. Now, who's up for a little Street Fighter?
