since you approved of the Costas political statement during SNF, did you also approve of Michaels' shot at John Kerry on MNF? Or, as I suspect, does your approval of this mixing politics with sports hinge on whether or not you agree with the statement?...Which, like it or not, and not for the first time, makes you a hypocrite..
