Gambling on Old-Timers who Partake in Shakespearian Tragedy

I logged onto ESPN.com this morning and noted that one of their feature stories regarded Archie Manning. Supposedly, Archie Manning rooting for his son in the upcoming Superbowl is a major news story. Now, Manning does reside in New Orleans and did spend the majority of his career playing for the Saints, but anyone who actually thought he would pull for the Saints instead of the Colts on Super Sunday, is an absolute moron. Granted, Archie has plenty of ties to his former team and his city, but to imagine someone rooting for a team they no longer play for rather than rooting for their own son is just absurd and far from a major news story.

I'm taking this class on Shakespearian tragedy at the university across the street and there is an old-timer in the class. Not your typical college old-timer who may be in his late twenties or early thirties but an old-timer by anyone's standards. This old geezer must be pushing 80 and it appears that at any minute he may just peel over, but yet he is out there trying to pursue new academic challenges. In fact, the old timer greeted the professor as soon as he walked into the door with a stern handshake and introduction. During this introduction the old-timer mentioned his high expectations for the course and spoke of his days working in the union. I didn't want to eavesdrop on the conversation so I wasn't able to catch what specific union the old man was a part of, but either way it should be interesting to see how the man fares throughout the remainder of the course. I'm tempted to start a pool with my fellow classmates to see if he makes it through the whole course.

Short and pointless entry today, hopefully there will be more soon, but I have to skedaddle.
