NFL Game of the Week

The Arizona Cardinals will travel to play the Washington Redskins at "FedEx Field" in Landover, MA tomorrow. Considering that the term "mail it in" is commonly used to describe a sub-standard effort, then the news that the Redskins play at "FedEx Field" is a story in and of itself. Anyhow, due to injuries to starter Matt Leinart and backup Kurt Warner, the Cardinals could be relying on their third string QB Tim Rattay and newly signed QB Tim Hasselbeck. Tim Hasselbeck is not only the brother of Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck, but also the spouse of "The View" co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck. As everyone knows, Elizabeth Hasselback has been at the center of some controversies lately over at "The View", and gotten on the wrong side of such dignitaries as Barry Manilow, Rosie O'Donnell, and Whoopie Goldberg.

It is not easy to say who Barry, Rosie and Whoopie will be rooting for. If their dislike for Hasselbeck stems mostly from her relatively conservative opinions, then it is hard to imagine them supporting the Washington "Redskins" either. Maybe they will have to root for Washington, but take great care to refer to them only as the "Washington First Nations People".

I don't think that "The View" should ever cross paths with the NFL. Hopefully Kurt Warner will recover in time to make the start at quarterback so we can avoid this whole ugly situation.
