PATRIOTS WIN....AGAIN!
What a sensational comeback...yet again! I'm still in shock over last year's "greatest comeback of all time," which did little to dampen the shock of Marshawn Lynch watching his quarterback throw an interception in the closing seconds of yet ANOTHER incredible game. Hmmm...wasn't that the same game in which the Patriots had 1st and 10 from their own one-yard line and, thus, still had to run another play...against the meanest, toughest and most skilled defense in all of football...only to see those bozos jump offsides?
So what do we have left? Well, from the looks of things, the only way to top last year's "most incredible game ever" is to have "the most emotional victory ever!" And how best to do that than have the hapless (and Super Bowl winless) Minnesota Vikings win the whole enchilada with their backup quarterback, playing against Tom Brady, in their home stadium. Ahh yes! What an emotional, tear jerking drama THAT game would be. It would certainly top the "miraculous" touchdown we saw last week as one Mr. Williams dove blindly into his own player allowing Mr. Diggs to run to Minnesota destiny.
Indeed, the things we do to prevent ourselves from committing pass interference. Normally, professional athletes just slow down and put their hands up, but running head first (and head down) into your own player, well, nothing says, "I don't want to interfere," better than just looking at the ground and diving blindly. I might have to try that move the next time I'm faced with a possible traffic accident: I'll just stick my face on the accelerator and gun it.
"Yes, officer, I was trying NOT to interfere with the other driver."
ANYWAY, let it be known that if the NFL needs my help determining whether a first down has been made or not...
...I have a whole box of index cards I am prepared to donate to the cause, assuming it's just so close that NO ONE can determine if a first down has been made or not.
By the way, why on earth is Drew Bledsoe awarding his former team the Lamar Hunt Trophy...and kissing the owner?
"Hey Drew, we realize YOU'VE never won a Super Bowl and basically got fired from New England, but how would you like to award the Championship Trophy to your former team? And don't forget to kiss your old boss."
Makes perfect sense.
