Swanny river

Lynn Swann is thinking about running for the Republican nomination for governor in Pennsylvania. yes, that Lynn Swann. Got mixed feelings about this. I remember the 70s better than John Kerry, and Lynn Swann was not my favorite player. I'll always remember events the way Benny Barnes remembered them:

Barnes' version of the play was as follows: "Swann ran right up my back. When I saw the flag I knew it was on him. I couldn't believe the call. Maybe Swearingen [the referee] needs glasses, maybe he's from Pittsburgh.

"I don't even know how far behind me Swann was. Then I felt hands on me, then he tripped me. The ball was catchable between us. I had the right of way, I'm told. The ball was just floating up there.

"The official said I swung my foot back to trip Swann. I didn't even see Swann."

But any Republican is better than Ed Rendell, right? right? Man, this is a tough one for me.
