When yesterday’s game ended in a tie, I thought… Weird.  I admit, I didn’t really know that could happen since I had never seen that before.

Today, I feel a little better, now that I know not even DONOVAN MCNABB knew football games can end in ties!!!

The text below is a blog entry from tsn.com

Donovan McNabb’s team tied the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday, an outcome which came as a complete surprise to the 10-year NFL veteran:

What did … I mean … how can … wow. That’s it, wow. He didn’t know that games could end in a tie. You know who knows that games can end in ties? Everyone. Even Tony Siragusa knows that. Yet a quarterback who has led his team to four NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl didn’t know. I mean, it’s not like the referee says it before every overtime session! (And to those who think he’s joking, he’s not. Donovan laughs at his own jokes more than Jon Stewart; his demeanor was far too serious for that to be a joke, despite what his inevitable excuse is today.)

What did Donovan think that “T” section in the standings was next to the ”W” and “L”? Was he confused when he had to run a hurry up offense with two minutes left? And in 2002, when his team played the 9-6-1 Falcons in the playoffs, did McNabb think those numbers represented the Atlanta area code?

Maybe athletes’ lack of knowledge about the sports they play is more widespread than we know. (This would explain Joe Morgan.) A friend of mine who played college football had no clue that there wasn’t a two-minute warning in the college game. But I just emailed him and even he knew that NFL games end in ties.

Not only are we reporting on more robberies (mostly armed) in the area, but we’re also hearing this story more often– victims not willing to go down without a fight.  Not only are people getting desperate enough to rob businesses or homes, but the people being robbed can’t afford to lose their belongings, so they are fighting back.  It’s dangerous, no matter how you look at it, and both suspects and victims are losing their lives.

On www.myfoxphilly.com, there is a story about a barbershop clerk that fought back during a West Oak Lane robbery attempt.  Only he is in extremely critical condition tonight in the hospital. 

A barbershop clerk fights back against an alleged armed robber in the city’s West Oak Lane section.It happened at ‘Cross Cutz’, on the 7400 block of Briar Road, around 6:07p.m. Thursday.On a lighter, but potentially just as dangerous note– this happened at a bar in Delaware last night and though the patrons took on the armed intruders, they ended up saving their money and their lives. 

Police said the male clerk shot an unidentified man who was trying to rob the barbershop at gunpoint.

The man is in extremely critical condition at Albert Einstein Hospital.

Police said both weapons were recovered at the scene.
