Overheard

Saturday afternoon I was driving home from Parker Music after unsuccessfully trying to negotiate a lower price for a keyboard . . . OK, TMI. I came upon ESPN Radio's broadcast of the Ole Miss-Auburn game. (By the way, as Corey Dade notes, "Ole Miss" is "an honorific that slaves reserved for the mistress of the plantation." But I digress.) I heard analyst Dennis Franchione say that a team's fumble didn't help. Of course it didn't: IT'S A FUMBLE! And when a quarterback made a surprise pooch kick punt, he said that the quarterback must have been a punter "in a future life." Now, I get the past life reference, something learned then somehow helps now. But "future life"? What does that mean? How does that work? And why am I writing about this?
