We love that in the election’s wake, just about every sports journalist and analyst has felt the need to weigh in on the importance of Barack Obama’s victory and what it means for America. Great. We couldn’t have figured that without you, Chris Berman.

But now, forced into double duty, sports journalists around the world must help herald a second monumental change in our cultural landscape:

Keyshawn Johnson will have his own reality TV show.

It will be called Tackling Design and will detail Keyshawn’s foray into the world of interior design. No joke.

Keyshawn, like our president-elect, came from modest means to achieve success that some might deem the product of unwarranted celebrity status. Both men catapulted themselves into mainstream consciousness with their writing. Obama wrote Dreams of My Father, which we hear was good. Keyshawn wrote Give Me the Damn Ball, which we read and enjoyed. No joke.

Now, both men face a cold world filled with difficult questions, and each must reveal his true self to the world to weather some lofty challenges. Obama will have to fix a struggling economy, unite a divided nation and confront the realities of war.

Keyshawn’s going to have to do something about those drapes.

These are interesting times for our nation and for reality TV. We here at The Nooner hope Obama shows the courage necessary to extend across party lines and Keyshawn shows the discretion required to replace that tacky tapestry with something that will better match the carpet.

20 game winner Mussina files for free agency, but is apparently strongly considering retirement.  After watching Jamie Moyer win the World Series though, the soon-to-be 40 year old is also considering sticking around until just being able to make it out to the mound is considered a laudable accomplishment.

Dodgers reportedly extend $25 million per year offer to Manny Ramirez for either 2 or 3 years;  Manny was hoping for six year deal, but will undoubtedly be tempted by L.A.’s bonus offer of a lifetime supply of doo rags and edible paste.
