1.) Well *that* was a lot of touchdowns. Shame they didn't belong to *our* team.
2.) Although, they were ranked #4 ... so is it acceptable to say something like, "it was just an honor to play a ranked team"?
3.) At some point, I would have been okay with them playing more highlights from that game in 1994 when we last beat a top 5 ranked team.
4.) Because, let's face it, at some point the cheering also became more about "let's just get at least one touchdown" (which was thankfully modified from "let's just get on the board and not have a shutout").
5.) Finally, at some point I also began to feel like everyone going for it on 4th down was kind of like we were being insulted (like ... "we got this ... don't worry about them ...").
6.) I suspect that one's opinion on a controversial targeting call depends on whether the player getting ejected was on your team or the other one ... but I get it -- safety first.
7.) Speaking of which, thoughts go out to all those who continue to deal with injuries.
8.) There were storms in my 'hood today, so I couldn't hear everything the announcerpeople said to directly quote (and mock) them, but I do have to say, it's starting to dawn on me that they are kind of super creepy and very fixated on the size of these boys, spouting out stats and characterizing body types in every other sentence. Their obsession is going to give these kids eating disorders!
9.) I don't care what anyone else says. *My* player of the week is from the other team, because you can't deny that "Mr. Everything" PEPPERS comes off as impressive what with playing so many positions in one game.
In closing, thanks to Joey JULIUS for continuing to prove that the game highlights can come from all different kinds of plays ... and here's to competing for the Governor's Victory Bell next week in another late afternoon game!
