He was also a 53-year-old combat veteran. Do you hear "tripwire vet"? Maybe he imagined Charlie wore orange pajamas.

Talk about prissy wire service editors putting quotes around a phrase everyone knows:
>>> According to police, 32-year-old Texas fan Brian Christopher Thomas walked into Henry Hudson's Pub on June 17 wearing a Longhorns T-shirt and quickly became the focus of football "trash talk" from another regular, 53-year-old Oklahoma fan Allen Michael Beckett.

Assistant District Attorney Scott Rowland said the rivalry will have no bearing on the way the case is prosecuted.

"It appears that it played a part in the fight," he said, "but that won't play any more of a role in our handling of the case than would a fight over a girl or a car or a song on the jukebox."

Does Olbermann have an "Understatement of the Week"?

I smell a defense.  "General environmental insanity."  You gather up every story of violent nuttiness from the OK-TX rivalry (there must be thousands) and claim you were swept up in a raging, collective epidemic.  "Well, you can do what you want with us, but I won't sit here and listen to you bad-mouth...  the United States of America!  Gentlemen!"
