The Following is an exact quote from one of the announcers before yesterday’s Belmont Stakes:
The story of Funny Cide is the story of America: Owned by a group of high school friends; trained by a virtual unknown; ridden by a forgotten jockey.
For five seconds after Funny Cide lost in its attempt for the Triple Crown, I was worried about the fate of our great country since the two seem to be so intertwined.
Then I realized that Funny Cide and America don’t have anything in common at all One of them is a horse, the other is a country.
Man, I wish announcers would stop being drunk all the time.
