Subject: The Day

So in a change from the normal drunken email rants at 5:30, drunken/stoned
etan has a different story to tell, one of amazing, xbox god benevolence.


In a game that evened the record and took the Pack one step closer to the
playoff spot, the MNF (4:30am -5:40 am) match of the Packers (5-6) versus
"da Bears" (Brian, 6-5) started out rough and U-G-L-Y we aint got no alibi.
An early interception lead to a 7-0 score, and the next Ahman Green 60 yd
rushing TD was called back for a bullshit holding call.  The result- 14-0,
the dreaded, unlucky Bears up 14-0.  Favre was not fazed by his shockingly
shitty start though, and within 15 seconds into the second quarter, had put
a TD on the board.  Then in a surprising show of resilience the Green Bay
defense clamped down, including its much-mailigned secondary- and managed to
tie the game at 14-14 with 30 seconds in the half.  With the A-train running
as a diversion and Miller taking to the air, "da Bears" charged down to the
22 yard line, with 1 second left on the clock.  The successful field goal
attempt soared through the uprights... BUT was called back by a clipping
penalty.   Instead of being up by what would have proven to be the damning
field goal, the game remained tied at a deuce each.  The Bears received,
however, and quickly put it up 21-14.  Nothing exciting happened 'till the
end, except for Ahman breaking his customary 100 yrd rushing (NOT even incl.
receiving).  Favre, seeing "Da Bears" up by a TD leisurely threw his way
down toward the TD, using up the clock and scoring with barely half a minute
on the clock.  The Tie game, 28-28, saw "da Bears" take possession and try
to move into field goal range.  A-Train is a monster, and shrugged off a
tackle at the 2, possibly even a game-winning safety, to forge ahead for
decent yardage.

Then with 08 seconds on the clock... the coaches already planning for
overtime, Jim Miller fades back for the deep pass.... he brings it back to
throw.... and then before he can release, ProBowler and Green Bay Packer
Sack leader, KGB slips his lineman, charges in and crushes the Qb for his
most influential sack of the season- he timed it perfectly, just as Miller
brought it back down to protect it.... FUMBLE - FUMBLE - FUMBLE - FUMBLE -
FUMBLE - FUMBLE - FUMBLE - FUMBLE - FUMBLE - FUMBLE - FUMBLE - FUMBLE -
FUMBLE -  with ZERO, yes, ZERO seconds on the clock- the old, chronicaly
injured warrior Joe Johnson rushes in to quickly (damn quick) scoop it up
and drag his large, social-security-collecting, 500 pound, run-blocking ass
into the endzone for the Game winning TD with no time on the clock.  In a
radical turn of events, the Packers DEFENSE leads the way to a
down-to-the-wire game winner.

Damn Straight. It doesn't get to be a better finish than that.  Not for me
at least.

I'm telling you, what a great day.  What a great end to the day.  The only
sad part was that the sun came up as we finished and i wrote this so the day
where everything went absurdly, ridiculously well is over.
