At USAToday, Mike Lopresti has some fun with the mighty that have fallen, like America’s credit rating, from their accustomed perch atop the standings. S&P’s language is liberally basted upon Tiger Woods, Ohio State, the Dallas Cowboys, and various other downgrade candidates in the sports world: What would Standard and Poor’s downgrade be like in sports? At Seeking Alpha, John Mason pens a somewhat more serious analogy: “If the economy is a football game, we need new strategies.” The downgrade may have been “a bad call” but DC’s policy decisions made the unthinkable a real possibility. So it’s time to change the signal callers. Throw the bums out!
