Did I tell you how the Packers won last night?



On a Somber note, Scott Weiland, of the Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, has passed away.

Fun. Not so fun for Detroit. Was that face mask call legit? The QB desperation scramble is exciting.

Looks like they employed a shaman.

Winning with a Hail Mary pass only goes to show that God loves the Packers.

Oh, and thank you God for inventing beer.

Chip Ahoy said...

Oh Man, I checked first, you slipped in as I was writing the Shaman and I didn't notice until too much time passed. Bummer of timing. I'll leave it.

And let this be a lesson.

About something.

Possibly.

Perhaps.

As to footie, or footie and throwie as American football is known elsewhere in the solar system, I did see a guy throw a splendid desperate Hail Mary in the last moment of play, overtime, I think, clear across the field past the goal posts beyond the city out of the state past the country over the oceans beyond more unknown lands and return to the stadium into the arms of his receiver on the other side of the field that the ball already passed clustered amidst opposing players all reaching for the same incoming ball, now a meteorite, and it worked. He caught it.

Oh shit! I'm sitting here watching the sunrise while writing this crap, I meant to say talking to you, debating about another time lapse. Nothing but gray and then as I watch it's turning out uckingfay incredible! Pink and colors and just splendid blue and pink display. But I'm too late. Man, what a dummkopf. This was the best one in weeks too. Now the remote decided to act up for some reason. The camera giving me error message. Bummer.

It was a 61-yard pass. Rodgers can only throw 50 yards. That's when God stepped in.

Leland said...

Rodgers is no Johnny Football, which is probably a good thing for the Packers.

The Packers won a game which Detroit was leading when the time remaining was 0:00.

This was the time when the often misused phrase "when you have nothing to loose" was invented.

I love it. There was literally no time left.

ndspinelli said...

Good to see you, Haz. As the Rodgers who caught the ball said after the game, he was surprised the tall, athletic, Lion's wide receiver Megatron was not in there for defense. Protocol is you put a guy like him in on special defenses like this.

john said...

Not to get picky but lets give him credit for a 67 yard pass.

AllenS said...

It worked out just like it was written in the Bible.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

I get the notion that the hail mary pass works because even though the team ahead knows is coming, in this case the Lyons, in their minds the idea that they've won has taken hold. Hard to overcome the seeming paralysis that ensues as a result of not playing until it's over.

Another way of saying, watch out for the mass shooters.

Trooper York said...

I am surprised that Aaron Rodgers was able to play. He was very upset that people were saying means things about Muslims after the San Bernardino shootings.

I hear he wet his panties.

john said...

68 yards, actually.

Methadras said...

Jesus Christ that was nuts. In a very boring football season, this made it all worth it.

It's only boring if you're a Bolts fan. Or, a Giant's fan.
