David Tyree reaches to the stars
to pull down the greatest
Super Bowl catch since Dwight Clark’s
miraculous grab in Super Bowl XVI.
1 Eli’s Comin’.
2 Ah well, I told most of my friends that even though I am
a Patriots’ fan and have been ever since the Yorks took over the Niners,
I really didn’t care who won, in the long run.3 As long as it wasn’t a Republican.
4 Plus Eli’s such a goober.5 Does this make Joe Montana the undisputed greatest quarterback of all time?
6 Naturally, that was a factor in my indifference to the winner.
7 Actually, the Niners have always been my team. I couldn’t help
it; my dad had season tix since I was but a wee lad. I adopted the Pats
years ago as my default team when Eddie D. had to hand them off to the
Yorks. The Niners are still my number 1 team, and always will be.8 But It’s tough being a Niner fan and a Giants fan these days. And Raiders…
9 Allow me to qualify that. It’s tough to be a Giants’ fan these days unless you’re a New York Giants’ fan. And now it’s tough to be a Patriots’ fan, my second fave.10 It’s amazing to me how a team can go undefeated all season and
STILL look like goats. Absolutely terrible play-calling
at the end. You had to
wonder what the Pats were smokin’ trying to win it all on long bombs.
Low percentage catch. Bill Walsh would have laughed. Go short to medium
shots over the middle and set up a field goal, THEN go for the touch.
Just an abominable series of downs. Amazing.11 West Coast my ass.
12 Sorry Pats, but you lost that game, and you were beaten by a better team, at least yesterday.
13 And as awesome as Tom Brady is, my theory about rushing the
quarterbacks holds. Happened to Favre, Montana, and nearly any other
great quarterback. You rush them hard, they won’t have time to find the
eligible guys. They USED to fight that with a screen pass, but
evidently that non longer works in these high-powered,
precision-oriented games. They eat mud and pigskin before they can think, or in Favre’s case, they throw it up for grabs.14 Brady was a tough cookie, like Elway, Favre and Marino. But no quarterback can survive in-yo-face rushes and hurries.
15 MAYBE Jeff Garcia.
16 Anyway, congrats to Newyorknewyorknewyorknewyork.
17 At least SOMEBODY’S Giants are winning.
18 Moving on: Sorry
sports fans, but the DN must move to loftier things, like conpiracy
theories, the gentle goofiness and spirituality of life19
20 There.
21 Here’s a nice Disney
look at the spirituality of life:
22 Well, the computer is going wonky all of a sudden, so I guess we could just get on with Monday.23 Enjoy life today.
24 Fly low.
25 Live life; love life.
26 Peace.
