21:23 - And this next player wants to hit the ball too. And he does! And everyone is happy! And there he goes, off in that direction.

Did anyone else happen to catch the Commonwealth Club address, recorded on the 19th, of Prince Bandar bin Sultan?
To hear him speak, America and Saudi Arabia are better friends than any other two countries on Earth. "Flattery sweet as honey dripped from his tongue," as they say. He threw the floor open, rather than "giving the party line" (his words), and fielded open questions from people about anti-American sentiment in Saudi Arabia and suchlike. He answered everything with Oxford-don loquacity; it's hard not to believe the guy.
Except when he says things like: "Unfortunately, Monday Morning quarterbacks are all over the place-- and I must note, I watch Monday Morning Football... I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan, and so I saw the game-- and was pleased with the result, I might add... anyway--"
Now, I admit I'm not as big a football fan (of America's Team™, no less) as Prince Bandar bin Madden, but isn't it Monday Night Football?
And he sounded so sincere...
