    The writer's "comments" are all made up...the Ravens didn't blame Linux, the Cardinals did NOT have a satanic message, and Manning...well, maybe he DID have a jingle stuck in his head...

    This article is full of wittiness, so I seriously doubt the Linux statement was meant to be taken seriously. Some examples:

    "You don't have to hit me over the head 10 times before I understand a trend.

    Geez, why didn't I pay attention to numbers before this? The path to Easy Street is paved with stats!

    Marty Schottenheimer won't rewrite Redskins playbook but will send it to Hollywood script doctors for "tweaking"

    Nobody hits harder than John Lynch. Well, except for my ex-wife.

    Ravens Coach Brian Billick faults last week's defensive breakdown on team's switch to Linux operating system.

    Herman Edwards can wear NYPD hat on sideline, but Curtis Martin should lose that big pad of parking tickets in his back pocket.

    Peyton Manning's performance Sunday night blamed on having a TV commercial jingle stuck in his head.

    See a trend?

    Most things in there are done for humor, I don't think the Linux quote is any different.
