Can I get a mulligan? and Cooperstown corral

Can I get a mulligan?
The Hot Corner humbly admits being utterly wrong when it comes to Florida. The Gators made the two quarterback system look genius, and their entire game plan totally stunted anything Ohio State could do on the field.

I'm going to stand strong with my assessment of the Eagles and Jeff Garcia...until proven otherwise.

Cooperstown corral
Cal Ripken, Jr. and Tony Gwynn got the nod to head to Cooperstown, but Mark McGwire fell far short of getting selected.

McGwire, marred by steroid accusations, was picked by only 23.5 percent of voters.

By contast Ripken received the third-highest percentage of votes (98.53) in Hall of Fame history. He nagged 537 votes out of a possible 545 by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, which begs the question, "Who were the eight morons who didn't vote for Ripken?"

Gwynn received 532 votes for 97.61 percent.

I'm thrilled to see Ripken and Gwynn get the call up to bigs, and glad that McGwire has to take a backseat until he clears up his past that may or may not have involved juicing. Until that happens, I say the Hall should keep its doors closed to Big Red.
