Maybe you were too busy bobbing and weaving. ---

Maybe Dan Dierdorf just missed that game (considering the teams involved, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did).** It’s his job to follow happenings in the league though. Even if he didn’t see the game, the play was shown and talked about for days afterwards. There’s no excuse for someone in his job to _not_ know! Boy, I’m glad I went to bed at half-time last night. I had a 47 point lead in our fantasy football playoffs going into the game, and my opponent had Faulk. He ended up with 39 points. I would have been crawling the walls stressing out if I had watched. ---

I couldn’t decide who I wanted to win. It seems like the good guys won, though- the Rams need to win at New Orleans and hope that Chicago upsets Detroit if they want to go to the playoffs, while Tampa has to break it’s streak of 0-for-infinity in sub-34 degrees at Lambeau field, along with Brett Farve’s streak of never losing at home in sub-34 degrees. Makes me proud. Now Culpepper just needs to be a man! Walk it off! And lead us to a NFC central title … ---

As a Rams fan, I have one thing to say: **DAMMIT**!!! ---

As a Bucs fan, I just have to say: HOLY CRAP!!! WOOHOO!!! In that order. If you told me that the winning team would score 38 points, I would have said, “Oh, and the Bucs ended up with what? 9 or so?” And yes, that fat bastard Dave Moore did seem to fumble at the end. He also dropped an easy touchdown pass a few minutes earlier. Don’t worry Rams fans: I’m sure the Bears will beat the Lions for you. (heh heh heh) ---
