Two things:
1) During NBC's pre-game/highlights show before the Sunday Night game, when talking about the Desean Jackson punt return to win the game, the commentator said that this was the first time a game has been decided on a punt return touchdown as time expired. The way he said it, he was kind of proud that he was the one to say this statistic, like it was some shocking fact. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I was not surprised in the least, because frankly, nobody has ever been stupid enough to actually kick the ball in the field of play in that situation. And to one of the most explosive players in the league? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it was not a smart move. Good try NBC, but maybe next time you will knock me off of my feet with your knowledge because today was certainly not that day.
2) I'm in a dilemma. The Titans, my Titans, although feeble and semi-awful, are still mathematically in contention for the playoffs. Do I believe they will make it into the postseason? Not a chance. But do I want to be optimistic? Absolutely. So in order for this pipedream to pan out, we would need to win out and get some help. One of the teams who we need to lose is the Jags. Just my luck, they play the Redskins next week. Great. So here's my question? Do I abandon all of my ideals, morals, and beliefs and root for the team that I despise so much, or should I be a realist and throw out any fantasies that the Titans will be in the playoffs this year? I'm not sure. Get back to me Sunday morning.
