The Kings Of Football!!!


Sorry BDK. That was one exciting game. Talk about handling time pressure! Amazing last posession by the Giants. As the Three Dog Night song goes...."Eli's Coming!" I couldn't believe Eli actually escaped the potential game killing sack and got that pass off. Then I couldn't believe Tyree actually caught it.
I was watching the game with the mom of one my students. She said "That's what chess needs. Timeouts! You're in time pressure with a minute left and you call a timeout to pull yourself together." Don't we all wish we could handle time pressure with such grace and determination.
Liquid Egg Product's mascot knows his football. Called it right again. I don't bet, but if I had, I'd probably be too embarrassed to admit that I got my betting tips from a cartoon egg. Good call Mascot!

Congratulations on your team winning it all! That sack escape/helmet catch play is an instant classic; the type of stuff NFL Films lives for. The only bad part about this game is that it's not as good if you want to watch it a second time.

You are wise not to take betting advise from an egg; The Mascot went 4-7 this postseason.

It should have been the Pack but watcha gonna do eh? The Pats didnt take it all and that makes me happy ;) Chess needs commercial time outs. Like at the end of the opening and right before a pivotal endgame move. Itll be like lost except not on an island.

PS. I finally added you to my sidebar.

Pawn: I think I was more surprised by what happened in Green Bay, knowing how lousy they've played in cold weather. After that game I liked their chances against the Pats.

Thanks for the link!
