Well, of course I watched it!  I live in Colorado so who could resist - - even the non-football fans among us - -tuning in to last weekend’s game between the Broncos and the Steelers.  And yes, when we watched Tebow lob that 80 yard pass to Thomas we all did believe that he would be walking on water any day.

And yet…even in Denver, Tebow has his detractors.  He just seems too good to be true. The grouches complain, and of course, all that kneeling…must he?

By now, Herman Cain’s epic rise and fall is old news but I always think that it’s useful to ask after one of these political pageants:  what have we learned?

As I keep lamenting in this space, I’m amazed that we’re still dealing with the subject of sexual harassment.  I wrote my first book on the subject in 1993:  Sexual Harassment:  A Reference Handbook and I sometimes feel as if I’ve personally trained the whole country on the subject.  Evidently Cain, however, missed that memo.

What can we glean from his travails?  Three things:

Mark Twain said: “There are lies, damn lies and statistics.” While that may or may not be true, Moneyball, the Brad Pitt movie about the use of statistics in baseball hit a home run at the box office last weekend. What can you learn from this movie about attracting and retaining the best? Plenty.

The movie is based on Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, a book by Michael Lewis about the Oakland A’s baseball team.

I know it’s hard to believe but you really do have the same problem as these famous faces. What might that be? Texting, talking and emailing when you shouldn’t be.

The scandal surrounding the voice mail hacking fiasco shut down Rupert Murdoch’s News of the World. A private investigator hacked into members of Britain’s royal house-hold by duping phone operators into handing over their personal codes. Those PINS allowed him and journalist Clive Goodman to listen in on the royal family’s voice mails.

So we just survived another sexual misadventure by powerful men: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Strauss-Kahn led the brigade with allegations of messing with the help. Arnold–with a ten year employee with whom he admittedly fathered a son and –Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a powerful head of the International Monetary Fund with a maid at his high end New York hotel.

What I haven’t seen much discussion in the press on this issue is a recognition of the basic fact that both of these situations occurred at WORK! This is a place where you’re supposed to be safe from sexual advances and able to focus on well…work.

I have to confess that I’ve been glued to the screens and newspapers the last few days since the announcement about bin Laden. In all the hoopla, what fascinates me the most is the sketchy descriptions of the actual tactics of the Navy SEAL Team Six that performed the stunningly successful operation.

How did they do it? How did they train? Who are these guys anyway? Most likely, we’ll have to wait for the movie to come out to get the Hollywood version.

Well, we can dismiss Donald Trump as a wack job for riding the birther issue about President Obama’s real birthplace or we can ponder the implications. While I always enjoy a sideshow in politics, this one does drive me over the edge, since so many people–37% of identified Republicans in a recent poll–seem to take it seriously.

I do enjoy the craziness that always seems to follow Trump–tagged by his first ex Ivana as “The Donald.” (I also have to admire Ivana’s brio. As she mentioned in a recent fashion spread, “All my ex’s adore me!”)

Now that I have your attention, I’m not talking about a Hollywood tour bus (a trippy ride I took recently with four teenagers–could be the subject of another blog post) but I can’t resist commenting on the current debate about Charlie Land.

Is he mentally ill, the pundits ponder? Alcoholic or addicted to crack? (Still, after three treatment attempts?) Acting and joking?

What lesson can we draw from recent business and sports news?

In Denver, Josh McDaniels, the temper tantrum throwing, 34 year old Broncos coach is out and John Fox, 55, former South Carolina coach who led the Panthers to a surprise Super Bowl match is in, hired by former Broncos super star and new Executive Vice President, John Elway, 51.

Elway introduced Fox by praising his “wisdom and energy.” Is this a trend to bring back wisdom instead of relying on youth?

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ wife, Ginni Thomas, called Anita Hill over a recent weekend to ask her to apologize for her sexual harassment claim against her husband twenty years ago.

Talk about holding a grudge.

“Good morning Anita Hill, it’s Ginni Thomas,” the message said. “I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband.”
