We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Dean - As a Raiders, then Niners, fan, I never thought I'd actually have the thought "Poor Jets", but I agree, they deserved it here. What a mind fuck.
Gene - I considered it, but then people would have been complaining, "Hey, what's the big hurry?!" :)
The most points I've ever seen put on the board in the shortest amount of time was 17 points by Craig Morten and the Denver Broncos in 79 seconds. I saw Stabler & Company put together a few two-touchdowns-and-a-field-goal to win the game, but not in a time that could be measured in seconds. 21 points in 52 seconds is just phenomenal.
And the Jets will blame Tim Tebow for a poor performance. It has to be the fault of a Christian. I know because my children are Broncos fans (taught by me, not their father) raised to believe in God, corrupted by their father and Colorado State University, Yeah, I am angry.
I used to be a Redskin fan, back before free agency when you could know pretty much the entire roster from year to year.
I remember Super Bowl XXII my Skins were down to Elway's Broncos and then exploded for 35 points in a period. I know that isn't as impressive as 21 pts in less than a minute, but it is my favorite quarter of NFL football.
Maybe RGIII can overcome the Curse of Snyder. Probably not, but I might care a little if the Skins were relevant again.
The Snake was beloved by Las Vegas, because the betting would keep coming in late on a Sunday, long after the other games had finished. He may have lost games with mistakes, but he gave you your money's worth, didn't he?
