of defeat.
Garcia and his boys let me down. I was wrong.
So wrong. I admit it.
They had an opportunity with that turnover and mins to go...plenty enough to make a drive for a TD. But, no. Those Birds, man, how many times are they gonna do this kind of shit. This was so "deja vu," so "haven't we been here before" -- same team even and same damn score.
Pheh. I've had it. Been trying to self medicate my way to good night's sleep since the end of the game.
Anyways, silver lining is maybe the Saints going to the Super Bowl might, just might, be a certain kind of karmic justice. And I do appreciate a good dollop of karmic justice, for sure.

E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES...
MY BOYS WON.
I knew they would. Never doubted it for a minute. Oh, sure, they pissed me off more than a couple a times during the game. And I was questioning WTF Andy (Reid) was thinking/doing/planning on more than one occasion. But, I also revelled in the fact Manning couldn't seem to keep it going and Garcia just kept pushing onward. Didn't really need the "unnecessary roughness" that marred the occasion, but hey, I get it, it is a big day and the boys were under a lot of pressure. Still let's keep that shit in check next time, eh...makes ya look bad and I don't mean that in an MTV cribs kinda way either. There's gonna be a deep irony in the fact that they'll go to the Super Bowl (yeah, I'm prognosticating) and not just without McNabb or T.O. (grrr), but without both McNAbb AND T.O. (Who needs ya baby, buh bye now.)

Speaking of football...
OK. I admit: I might a football fan(atic). :P
For several reasons.
The obvious:
--the adrenaline and rush of the game (when it's done right.)
--the competitive drive
--the testosterone
--camaraderie (...ever sit in a Sports Bar on gameday and you know what I mean.)
--ego/pride (MY team, natch, will SQUASH yours...therefore I am better, I am the VICTOR, the JOCK, the STUD...no matter I had actually no part in doing the "squashing"--I rooted, stomped, cheered, jeered, and yelled, what more do want from me.)
But there's also these reasons (in no particular order):
Male bonding.
Butts and 'Straps.
Beef.
And you? Why do you love it or hate it?
