JIm Cramer's Rant; NFL Hall of Fame

Admittedly, I don't watch Jim Cramer on CNBC as much as I should, but when I heard about this rant- or as a host on KXL here in Portland, Oregon said yesterday, 'became 'unglued- I just had to watch this. See what the fuss was all about.

Basically, Cramer told the current Fed (Federal Reserve) chairman Ben Bernanke, to get off his ass and cut the interest rates. Only, he got a little too carried away.

But that's typical Cramer, right?

LET'S GET READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!: Saturday, in Canton, Ohio, five NFL players were enshrined into the Pro Football Half of Fame. Michael Irvin , who led the league with 1,523 yards on 93 catches in 1991; selected to five straight Pro Bowls; and had 750 career receptions for 11,904 yards and 65 touchdowns during his 11 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. Thurman Thomas, 12,074 yards rushing; NFL's MVP in 1991. Rushed for 1,00 yards in eight consecutive seasons. Gene Hickerson was voted to six straight Pro Bowls, all_NFL for five consecutive seasons, from 1966 to 1970.
Bruce Matthews played his entire career with the Houston Oilers, on through their move to Nashville to become the Tennessee Oilers, and subsequently, Titans. Named to record-tying 14 consecutive Pro Bowls (9 at guard, 5 at center). All-Pro 9 times, and all-AFC 12. Charlie Sanders had that ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound...okay, so I'm exaggerating. But Sanders had that ability to elude tacklers and was the Detroit Lions' all-time reception leader by the time he retired in 1977. Roger Wehrli amassed 40 career interceptions and recovered a record-tying 19 fumbles. He was selected to seven Pro Bowls.

In last night's Hall of Fame game, Pittsburgh beat New Orleans 20-7.
