Quick, All-over-the-place Thoughts

• I watched Idol as I was making dinner tonight (yes, I know it was late) so I have no comments but to say: It seemed to be one of those episodes rife with deluded Idol wannabes.
  
  
• Last night, the Caps closed the gap, to 3-2, but they could not get a win. The game was a microcosm of their season: they got off to a rough start and fell behind early. They improved, even showing signs of brilliance, but ultimately were unable to pull out a win/playoff appearance.
  
  
• Yesterday the Recording Academy announced that the Police will open this year's Grammy Awards. Just one step closer to an all out reunion tour. I am seriously giddy.
  
  
• Speaking of giddy, as a Redskins fan, I can't tell you how excited I am that Norv Turner is the front runner for the head coaching job in Dallas. I almost didn't want to post this so I wouldn't jinx it OR in extremely unlikely event that Jerry Jones runs across this blog and thinks "Hmmmm, this random guy is right. Norval Eugene Turner is not the man for the Cowboys." Don't get me wrong, Norv is a great guy but he's an awful head coach. Exactly who or what will keep Terrell Owens from running roughshod all over him. I just don't see Turner pulling a "Bill Belichick" by making a few good decisions and getting lucky for about 5 years. But don't worry Cowboy fans, it's possible, extremely unlikely, but possible.
