As for the call, if the rule as quoted is on the books, then it WAS the right call. Of course, if Oakland had converted on 3rd and One, they win the game. They didn't. The Pats stepped up and won fair & square.
No, New England had no time outs, and it was 4th Down so they couldn't spike the ball to stop the clock. They had time for one play, but zero margin for error. Great kick.
I think they did have a time out...but I'm not sure. He had a few seconds to get ready...they had more than enough time to get out there...but yes, it was very, very impressive. I dunno about that call, though. Looked like a fumble to me. Crap, I'd rather take on the Raiders in the AFC Championship than the Pats.
MAN. It shouldn't be humanly possible to hit a 45-yard FG in the wind and snow with no time out to even stop the clock and get set...Exciting!
GO STEELERS! Nice reference, BTW, Holden. I'll be honest, I liked a lot of what the XFL was doing...but some of it just seemed so amateur. The "custom" jersey names was a completely idiotic move. It took away any legitimacy the games might have had.

Yeah, that's a helluva lot of snow. Did you see the Raiders (I think it was the Raiders) botching their chance to down iat the 1, having lost track of where the end zone was? Hilarious. Gonna be a great game tomorrow. GO STEELERS!
Sigh. American Sport. Pfft.
I think she means "she-hate-us"......Yeah, I'm watching the snowy Raiders/Pats game: fun stuff. I'll definitely be watching the Ravens/Steelers tomorrow afternoon.
I think she means hiatus. Anyway, hurry back. Anyone watching football this weekend?
Hey all. Just wanted you to know, I'm going on haitus from MoFo, for awhile. Gonna see how that goes for me...have fun, and I'll be back soon. Love Ya!~Sades
