Wildcard Throwball Weekend: Sunday

Did I mention sentiment and loathing?

It’s hard to get worked up about the early game @ 1 pm on CBS.  On the one hand the Ravens are kind of overdogs in comparision to the Chiefs who haven’t been in the playoffs for a long time.  On the other hand I know a rabid Chiefs fan and he’s a total idiot.

Pick ’em.

Now the late game @ 4:30 pm on FOX I can get enthused about.  In the first place I’m only half troll and over the bridge we’re all huge fans of the Pack.  Not to mention it’s the only publicly owned franchise in the NFL so it has that anarcho-syndicalist vibe to it.

And then you have the Iggles, loathsome not just because they play in the same division as my Giants, but also because they employ the despicable Michael "Dog Killer" Vick.  Obama may have forgiven him, but I sure haven’t.

So I think you know how to root.  As I did yesterday I’ll try to note breaking developments in the comments and bump this when the late game starts.

  1. Get a haircut or a rubber band. Can you imagine all that hair in your face if he lands on top? Uck

    I guess hair pulling is out of bounds.  

  3. I wonder if the Iggles won the toss and elected to receive or if the Packers picked the wind.

  8. This will be that last play of the first quarter.

  9. The Pack had a 77% chance.

  10. Oh! That was Green Bay. hurrumph

  11. 8 seconds in the quarter, check your pool cards.

  12. They are working Vick hard.

    Good.

  15. 1st down.

  16. Iggles 35, 8 + minutes in the half

  17. Did they outlaw hand glue?

  18. Did I mention that 77%?

  21. 14 – 3

    1:11 left in the half.

  22. Check your pool cards.

  23. Ugh.

  24. Double Ugh.

  26. I hope you all found that just as thrilling as I did.

    On the other hand I was able to finish up the news.

  27. You’ll need a 2 point conversion.

    That is, if you don’t blow a 34 yard field goal.

    Then you still need 2 touch downs or a field goal, a touch, and a 2 point conversion.

    Could be the game ender, we’ll see.

  28. but the Pack doesn’t need 2 scores and a 2 point conversion in 8 minutes either.

  29. They still need another score even if the Pack doesn’t stop them.

  30. Time Out.

    If they blow this it’s pretty much game over dude.

  31. Stupid.

  34. the thing about 2 point conversions is they never work.

    Find a better plan.

  35. He’s getting a second chance?

    What the Fuck!?

  36. Even on second tries you don’t deserve.

  37. Vick probably out of the game.  Pack with a 5 point lead and the ball.

  38. 1 left.

  39. Iggles get 2 minutes.

  40. 1:45 no time outs, 66 yards.

  44. 33 seconds away.

    Packers win.

  46. Good.  I can go back to hating the Iggles for all the regular reasons.

    Except that there’s going to be no NFL next year unless they suit up Scabs.
