From the Edge
29 04 2007A stretch of highway near the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge collapsed Sunday after a gasoline tanker crashed and burst into flames.
I couldn’t help but think about how this was going to affect the price at the pump, since these days EVERYTHING affects the price at the pump. Oh, by the way, no one was killed…
From the Edge is going sporty today, with the NFL Draft just concluding and the NBA Playoffs going on. Randy ‘Bad Moon’ Moss has pouted his way into his wish, going from the recently hapless Oakland Raiders to the perpetually-contending New England Patriots. (Did you notice that smooth segway?) Now, I like him, but he probably shouldn’t have been given the keys to the Maserati if he couldn’t keep the Cavalier running smoothly, no offense, to you Cavy owners … The Miami Heat got thumped by the Bulls, who are no longer so Baby-ish. As a Cleveland Cavaliers fan, I winced at the thought of the Cavs playing the Heat, and figured they’d dispatch the Bulls with little problem. Ah, but it didn’t happen that way now, did it? The Bulls treated the Heat like the team they turned out to be: An old, injured, undermotivated squad that gave all it had to win last year, and had nothing left for this one, especially with Dwyane Wade hurting. But for their troubles, who do the Bulls get, but those pesky Pistons. This all sounds good for the Cavs, who should only have to survive their games to advance to the NBA Finals… Baseball player Josh Hancock was killed in a car accident early Sunday. He played for the Cardinals, who won an improbable World Series last year over the Detroit Tigers. The older I get, the more hearing about young people dying touches my soul. This cat was only 28, and his parents are going to have to bury him. Folks, appreciate every moment.
