I'm watching Monday Night Football. New England Patriots cornerback Asante Samuel came down awkward while defending a late game pass. ABC treated us to a close-up shot of him writhing on the ground in pain, shrieking in Dolby Surround 2.0! (Oh well, at least Desperate Housewives is loving the free pub; it finished with its highest ratings of the season last week.)
While I'm complaining about football, how is it I can go a documented 10-5-1 against the spread this week, and finish in a four-way tie for fourth in our nine-person pool? Freakin' Liaps went a documented 12-3-1... inconceivable! And even Pinzur would have kept pace with me had he not foolishly chosen the Bears.
Easy week, I guess. We all should have gone to Vegas.
As a diehard Pats fan, I strongly agree that having to listen to the sound of our last remaining CB go down with a horrible injury was wholly unnecessary and thoroughly agonizing.
Setting aside the fact that the Patriots are now playing LBs and WRs at CB, jersey sales have been falling ever since they replaced "Law" with "Gay."
12-3-1 is right baby!! BRING IT!!!
That replacing Law with Gay is just what the Republicans were worried would happen. Ha! We showed them.
In fairness to the great minds who announce NFL games, I was watching one on Sunday (can't remember if it was Dolphins-Seahawks, Falcons-Giants or Cowgirls-Ravens) and someone did something excessively nasty to an ankle... the color guy specifically asked the director not to show any replays of it once they realized it was a severe injury.
