Now I Am Ready For Some Football

Washington at Dallas, Monday Night Football.

For those who don't follow these things, this has been a damned frightening 15 years or so for Redsticks fans on Monday nights vs. Dallas. Almost enough to make you put aside your firmly-held skepticism against the Supernatural and believe in jinxes.

Let's see... They're kicking off now. I've got a good feeling about this one.

[10:48, 2:09 into the second half: Dallas scores on a flea-flicker to go up, 10-0. the Skins look like the Harlem Globetrotters' perpetual patsies, the Washington Generals. Jesus, it's a Calvary rooting for this team... Gonna be a long year, I think.)

(11:23: The way Al Michaels becomes a disgusting, slobbering homer for WHOEVER is leading going into the fourth quarter. I could follow him home and slash his tires. If I were some kind of psycho.)

Sorry, Neddie. The Redskins look awful.

If it makes you feel any better, Al Michaels is sporting a horrific comb-over these days.

Neddie said...

Oh, it's true. Just pathetic. Oh, well. Wait till next year.

Does Gibbs have to go? And what's up with Clinton Portis?

Al Michaels sounds pretty disappointed.

Dear god, I think we might actually win this one!

I hope so, Neddie.

With Irvin, Smith, and Aikman put on the "Ring of Honor" or whatever it's called, Al Michaels was all set to deliver a valediction on Cowboy heroes past and present. I'm so happy to have that narrative disrupted.

apropos of nothing, just saw Friday Night Lights... highly recommended, if now you're ready for some football... does young Freddie Jingo play?

My son just told me a little while ago that he'd heard the Redskins won. I hadn't even watched the game because I thought for sure that the Cowboys would spank them (shades of Eagles/49ers). Then, got busy w/various things today, worked from home, and didn't even check the score.

The Neddie/Matt exchanges means now I don't even have to read the papers! Thanks, fellas.
