EARLIER THIS WEEK, I was listening to the radio and a song came on by Timbuk 3 titled, "The Future's So Bright." Truth be told, the song is fairly crappy, but it has one great lyric, "the future's so bright, I gotta wear shades."
As is often the case when I listen to music, I thought about the relevance of that phrase to life, and particularly, sports. I thought about which Philadelphia professional team it would apply to. Probably not to the somewhat disappointing (at this point) Eagles, or the Flyers or 76ers, whose futures look murky at best.
