Winner winner, Patriots for Dinner!

Sunday night match up of the week:

Tom Brady's Patriots

vs.

Payton Mannings Colts-

my colts.

Thank you Billy Boy!

-Remember I love the Colts? Well tonight I love Bill Belichick because he made some uncharacteristic decisions that aided the Colts in their victory against the Patriots. If you didn't see it, it was my kind of game. Down to the wire.

Just about two minutes left in the game, 4th and 2, Patriots with the ball, no time outs left, on the Colts 28 yard line. Mr. Belichick decided to 'GO FOR IT!' It was an exciting few seconds, pass, catch, bobble, land. NOPE! Just shy by inches, Patriot turn over! Thank you Billy Boy!

2 min. left, Manning and the Colts drive for 28 yards in 3 plays. Bam, bam, bam with an little extra kick point on the top. Colts win it, after being behind the whole game.

End result: 35-34 Colts.

Favre-ulous!

Tonight was the big game of the week in our house as far as NFL football goes. Acutally, we've been looking forward to this game since Favre (correctly pronounced F-ah-v) said yes to the purple. Tonight The Vikings (Favre's team) played the Packers (Favres old team). Favre commented in interviews throughout the weekend leading up to this game that this game wouldn't be about revenge, he just wants to prove he is still a worthy QB. (Sounds like revenge to me) Oh, sweet revenge.

Now I've always been a Brett Favre fan, wether he looked like this...

or this..

Don't know what makes me like him so much or why I choose to like any professional athlete for that matter. Maybe it's the emotional story that is attached to him?

Heck, I'd probably still like him even if he looked like this..

maybe.

The game held loads of excitement, plenty of penalties and a plethora of phenomenal plays. I am personally enjoying the pink donned by every athlete and coach alike (NFL is supporting breast cancer.) Favre looked to have the abilities of his young self again, throwing many passes that made him who he is today. Jon Grudden (packers old assistant coach, therefore Favre's old coach) even added his two cents by proving the color throughout the game. I just felt bad for the Packers new QB, Aaron Rogers. Big shoes to fill and it could be argued he didn't fill them well enough tonight. I must comment on Favre's oversized jersey. Hello? Stacy and Clinton are coming for you...

So in the end Favre claimed his revenge and proved his worthiness. What's next buddy? What's next? (don't ask him. He doesn't know.)

p.s. go Colts

LAME-O!

"I hate it.  So much!"  I said as I slapped my knee.   

It's head-shaking worthy.   

I am a Colts fan, mainly cause I like the Manning brothers.  Last night I watched the playoff game between the Colts and the Chargers.

Great game!  Fun and exciting and right down to the wire, just the way I like em'.   

Except...

OVERTIME RULES.   ARRGH!

 It all comes down to a coin flip.  How does that prove the talent and 'deserving-ness' of a team?    If you WIN the coin flip, you will most likely WIN the game.  

Who thought of this sudden death thing anyway?  NO chance for revenge.  NO chance to come back.  NO chance to match.  NO chance to show your equality.  

There they were, those chargers, CHARGING down the field in sudden death overtime.  If the Colts could not stop a score, then it would be all over.  Now, granted, the Colts made a lot of mistakes that last bit BUT still... 

The Chargers scored and the Colts just sat there.  Nothing more they could do.  

ARGH!

  I think I would hate it even if it was my team who had won.  

Where is the equal opportunity? 

Guess the NFL doesn't have everything right...

(I like how they have playoffs to get to the super bowl.  Just like college football should forget BCS and do a playoff.  Much more exciting.  Much more opportunity.)

So.  There it is.  

LAME-O.
