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.

  5. Field Goal.

    3 – 0 Ravens.

  7. Not sure this is a good bet.

  9. Good because they’ve only taken 3 snaps and there’s only 3 minutes left in the quarter.

  10. 7 – 3 Chiefs.

  11. I have no preference in this game. I really don’t want the Vikings to win. I think that if baseball banned Pete Rose from baseball, Michael Vick deserved to be banned from football. But such is the hypocrisy of the owners of these franchises and the fans who support his rehiring.

  12. Mark your pool cards.

  13. Spare me the swoopy camera work.

  16. First flag of the game.

  17. ’93.

  20. On the Raven’s uniforms I mean.

  22. “Super” vision means Slo-Mo.

    Special.

  23. And it doesn’t work out at all.

  24. 13 – 7

  25. Not looking good.

  26. Field Goal, Ravens 16 – 7.

  27. Ravens on the Chiefs 31.

  28. TD Ravens, 24 – 7.

    27 Seconds in the 3rd.

  29. So an incomplete and not a fumble.

    It would have been hard to overcome.

  30. and a Hockey Game broke out.

  31. I lost my dog.

    I dropped a bottle of Spot remover and he disappeared.

  32. For you poolsters.

  33. Might have some penalty boxing.

  34. Get the TD.

    30 – 7.

    I would have gone for the Field Goal, it’s 3 scores either way.

    Less than 4:30 left in the game.

    I hate to say it’s done, but it’s getting there.

  35. ’93 and counting.

  36. Going to hit the shower before the next game.

    I seem to have lost a day, woke up thinking it was Monday. It’s why I stopped using drugs.

  40. loves them some Vick.

    More reason to root.

  43. 3rd and 1.
