Newsflash: Some of Mitt Romney's good friends own football teams.

That's in addition to his great friends who own NASCAR teams.

The rich are different from you and me. Apparently they have lots of friends who own sports teams -- something most people probably never thought about until Romney's presidential campaign.

The interview with Paul Finebaum, a syndicated sports radio host based in Birmingham, Ala., was going so well for Romney until the last couple of minutes. He had described as "pretty tasty" if "a bit fattening" his dinner the night before of catfish, fried dill pickles, and hush puppies. He had convincingly discussed his longstanding loyalty to the basketball team at Brigham Young University, which he attended as an undergrad, as opposed to Harvard, where he earned his business and law degrees.

And then came the Peyton Manning question. "I know you want him somewhere away from New England. Where do you think he ought to go?" Finebaum asked about the star quarterback.
