PHOTOS: I wonder if Joshua Johnson enjoyed watching football....



DETROIT - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has managed to snag some good seats for (the) Super Bowl in Detroit. And it could be a sign that she's looking ahead to what might be her next job: N-F-L commissioner.

Rice will be in the commissioner's box with Paul Tagliabue and others, including former N-F-L player Gene Washington. He often escorts Rice, who is single, to social events.

America's top diplomat is a lifelong football fan and has said, only half-jokingly, that she aspires to run the N-F-L one day. Rice is often mentioned as a possible Republican candidate for president or vice president in 2008, but has said she isn't interested.

5. Of course, we're not allowed to see their remains coming home.
What a disgrace this administration is.

3. Johnson died protecting our freedom to watch football games, don'tcha know
If it weren't for people like Johnson, there might be swarms of terrorists invading the field and killing our entertainment. Can't have that.
