In an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria, President Obama claimed that 99.9% of Muslims reject radical Islam. (H/T Daniel Halper of The Weekly Standard):

But it is absolutely true that I reject a notion that somehow that creates a religious war because the overwhelming majority of Muslims reject that interpretation of Islam. They don't even recognize it as being Islam, and I think that for us to be successful in fighting this scourge, it's very important for us to align ourselves with the 99.9 percent of Muslims who are looking for the same thing we're looking for--order, peace, prosperity.

OK, what is it I’m missing? Two weeks ago, when the winning hand was putting the ball up and trying to put more points on the scoreboard, the Packers sent fullback over tackle three straight times. They lost the ball and the game. Sunday, when the winning hand was to hand the ball to the fullback and get out of his way, the Seahawks threw into traffic (very dense traffic indeed in the shadow of the goal post — jump ball territory). They lost the ball and the game. And, by the way, lost the Vince Lombardi trophy.

Obviously there’s a lot about play-calling in the NFL I don‘t understand.

I know, I know — anticipating the objections — both teams had 60 minutes to win the game. And the Patriots earned the win on many grounds. But that play was damned strange.

The New England Patriots have won their fourth Super Bowl under the dynamic duo of Belichik and Brady and their first in a decade beating the Seattle Seahawks 28-24.

The Pats were down 24-14 in the fourth quarter and, well, Brady did his magic by throwing TD passes to Danny Amendola and Julian Edelman. In so doing, Brady passed Joe Montana on the all-time Super Bowl TD passes list.

But with scarcely a minute in the game, it looked like Seahawks would win when Jermaine Kearse somehow caught a Russell Wilson pass that kept bouncing around but never hit the ground. Pats fans were having flashbacks to David Tyree.

But Pats rookie cornerback Malcolm Butler intercepted a Wilson pass in the end zone to deny the Seahawks back to back Super Bowl titles. Pats win. Tom Brady was named Super Bowl XLIX MVP for the third time joining Joe Montana in that achievement. Brady also joins Montana and Terry Bradshaw as the only QBs to win four Super Bowls. Belichick also joins Chuck Knoll as the only head coaches to win four Super Bowls.

On Friday, Michael Medved announced he was taking a leave of absence from his radio program revealing that he was undergoing treatment for throat cancer.

Medved, 66, was diagnosed in December and expects to complete his treatments at the end of February. 

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery and a swift return to the airwaves.
