Putting Warren Moon on Mac Blast!

Shortly before Super Bowl XLII -- you know the one; that epic adventure where 80% of the country whooped it up in joy only to shortly thereafter realize that New Yorkers are now the new Bostonians, who themselves were once the new New Yorkers -- I had a chance to speak with Hall of Fame QB Warren Moon.

Growing up a Bills fan, I wanted badly to ask him about "The Comeback," the 1993 Oilers game during which the Bills came from 32 points behind in the second half to win the playoff game. But I figured first I should ask him about the Super Bowl, which was kicking off in about 90 minutes. You know, warm things up a bit before I started clowning on him for a game that happened 15 years ago.

I asked him whether or not the Pats deserved an asterisk if they were to win the game. He said no; I disagreed. Fortunately the football Gs were on my side. In your face, Cheaters.

Anyway, I also asked Moon what makes Tom Brady such a great QB. Moon said that Brady never gets shaky. He never makes bad decisions. He always keeps a cool head. No matter how much pressure you put on him, no matter how many times you hit him, he is always going to perform well when the lights are bright.

Unfortunately Warren forgot to add, "Unless it's Super Bowl XLII."

Warren Moon might not be a bad signing at QB for the Ravens, now that you mention him.
