Coosa County, Alabama Bowl, next Sunday in Glendale, Arizona.

USA Today had a great article today (here is a link to the article) about New England Patriots 2-time All-Pro Linebacker, Adalius Thomas and New York Giants Defensive End, Justin Tuck (had 10 sacks this year). The two are second cousins who grew up down the road from one another and attended Central Coosa High in rural Coosa County Alabama –An area that teh USAToday article reports has, “no stoplights and no 911 service.” They are both starters in Super Bowl XLII this Sunday in Glendale, Arizona. What a day for the families of these two young men, the pride of Coosa County, AL.

ESPN parent ABC has no problem with anchorwoman Dana Jacobson’s “F___ Jesus” comment at their event.

ESPN’s parent company, ABC, made news recently for firing Grey’s Anatomy star, Isaiah Washigton, after he used a well known anti-homosexual slur that starts with “f” in referring to a homosexual member of the show’s cast. ABC is in the news again for not similarly punishing ESPN anchorwoman, Dana Jacobsen, for her anti-Christian, “F___ Notre Dame, F___ Touchdown Jesus and F___ Jesus!” statement at a ESPN/ABC sponsored event on January 11, 2008 in Atlantic City, N.J.

Why would ABC have a double standard that allows for anti-Christian bigotry among it’s employees at its company sponsored events, yet punishes other employees with termination (see Isaiah Washington) for bigotry against homosexuals expressed in a private setting? (that private setting by no means making the slur Washington used acceptable, but makes the lack of disciplinary action against Jacobson in the case of her drunken public bigotry all the more perplexing.)
