Its been almost a full week of joyous listening, reading, and watching commentary, analysis, and game video. And then of course to RE-watch, RE-read, and RE-listen to all that stuff again. This is the week we as fans have EARNED for all our faithful support for an entire year.
It starts with long hours of reading on the Draft board, and continues with treks to TC and reading reports on who looks good and bad. Then the preseason games begin, and on to a long season of highs and lows, anger and joy, and endless claims of "I told you so". So imagine my surprise when a thought pops into my pre Altzheimerized brain that I hadn't heard ONCE since the game ended. So I thought I'd bring it to your attention to see if any of you also wondered WHY this question hadn't been asked before. I mean why should I be the only one with this banging around my head.
Why has no one questionws the fact that on what amounted to the final play of the superbowl, the Seattle Seahawks were going trying to run a play that was specifically designed to be ILLEGAL!!!!!!!
The irony hit me hard, guys. After all the crap we have had to go through the past few weeks, rather the past 7 years; the league and a majority of its fans were ready to celebrate the victory of a team who used an ILLEGAL play to win the game. How F--ked up is THAT! Yet the strange thing is that no one in the media, either local or national, and no one from any fan base I frequent seemed to have noticed it, cared, and/or commented on it.
Yeah I know that every team has that play in their playbooks and runs it, including the Pats, and if it had succeeded I probably wouldn't have raged against it and called foul. But still the irony of it is just too juicy to pass up pointing it out.
