pgitta Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 SUPERBOWL OR SUPERNATURAL? A person would hard press to muster up enough imagination to foresee a Super Bowl result the likes of which transpired yesterday. What its creators envisioned, a do or die battle between the the finest football machines, the pick of the litter so to say, instead reverted to a unfathomable desecration of everything the game holds sacred. Poppa is surely spinning as we speak. What we’re referring to is the defeat of the Indianapolis Colts, possibly the finest football team to take the field, at the hands of what most agree was nothing more than the football equivalent to a broken down 9 year old filly that managed to get the just the right drug ****tail from some enterprising chemist to pull off a once in a lifetime freak win at Pimlico. That fortunate horse was The Washington Redskins. Just as race goers would be justified in questioning their hard earned bets on such an outcome, so are true fans of NFL football justified in asking, “How low can the bowl go?” To even dream of a Redskins win, one would have to visualize late night meetings in the corner of a dark room, complete with chants, pent-a-stars, and sacrifices - foul smelling potions and blood smeared foreheads. The forces of evil granting the classic, “if you let us win just this one time, we’ll…” No one knows what was promised in return for yesterday’s results, but the Colts surely paid the price. It started off well enough, with the Colts winning the coin toss and electing to receive. A nice return to the 42 yard line, and a couple of Manning to Wayne connections for 34 yards, and then a first and 10 carry by running back Edgerrin James, was fumbled and inexplicably recovered by a sole Redskin among no fewer than eight Colt players, and was returned for the first defensive touchdown of the game. That was the high point for the cursed Colts. From there on out, the rest is simply too painful to write. The fact is no one really wants to read it anyway. Well, almost no one. Four fumbles, three interceptions, a punt return and even a missed extra point! No, this wasn’t the way it was supposed to go. Not the way it should have gone. No, sometimes darker forces seem to be at work, and even Hitler won battles. But there always comes a time when the soul you offered for payment comes due, and you realize that working for something means much more than having it handed to you. And you have to live knowing you’re responsible for bringing down our beloved game a couple notches. “Congratulations” Redskins. S.
