Feiler Faster gives you tomorrow's commentary today. The last week was a remarkable week in American history/pop culture/politics/sports: In a first, three of the top four acting awards at the Golden Globes went to African-Americans: Forrest Whitaker, Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Hudson. Barack Obama instantly became (with all due respect to Shirley Chisolm, Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton) one of the leading contenders to win his party's nomination for president. And Sunday, Lovie Smith became the first African-American coach to lead his team to the Super Bowl, followed three hours later by Tony Dungy, another African-American (there are five in the league). All this in a week when Tiger Woods chose to sit out the PGA tour and forego the chance to become the first player to win seven tour events in a row. That happens this coming weekend.
