Last play of the saints/patriots game

[inkman996]

I was in a band hosting an afternoon blues jam, and missed most of the game. I saw the Pats go for it on 4th down and blow it, figuring, with about 2:50 to go that it was over, and headed home. What a pleasant surprise when I got and still saw the last play. For you guys who don't like the Pats or Brady, he's somehow getting it done without any receivers, at least not compared to what he's had before. Then the Sox game later, holy spit, what an ending. That Ortiz homer is almost as good as the one he hit to start the 4 game wipeout of the Yankees in the ALCS in '04...

I ceased liking Brady's play when in the snow-bowl (don't remember the year), the refs cheated and let him incomplete a fumble against the Raiders in the AFC Championship (I believe it was the afc championship).  As the then Saints Coach Jim Haslett said, "I saw the replay 4 times and all 4 times it was a fumble."  Ahh  here it is: Tuck Rule game called by Raiders radio

I remember that and I think that was the first time I ever seen the Officials get the call on the field correct and yet they got the review incorrect. At was at that point I wished reviews never existed.

two simple words / two simple phrases gents,

Wide Right.....and....No Goal....

 Buffalo fans heartache in a nutshell...

skip to 3:55 for the memories

Scott Norwood misses the fieldgoal of his career.

Worst fans have to be in Miami.  Overall worst sports towns though, Atlanta does rank up there in my mind.

Really? Did you really have to bring up '04? Really!

It's pretty much all we have Red Sox wise. Surely you enjoyed '78 (Bucky F. Dent) or '86 in the World Series against the Mets. I started by watching them lose to St. Louis in '67, Cincinnati in '75, Mets in '86... Now growing up around here in the sixties with the Celtics winning every year except '67, now that was pretty cool...

and yeah, the umps aren't so good, but that's part of the game really. I'm not so sure about using replays next year, but things change.
