So in the latest episode of my inept, yet sometimes butt-lucky, football handicapping, I was sweating the Cowboys +2.5 last night and was having a miserable time. I finally decided to give up after they yet again went 3 and out with about 9 minutes left in the 4th quarter and I went and climbed into bed with Mrs Johnnymac. Then, after laying there for about 15 minutes, I decided that I needed to go to the bathroom and as I was walking in the hallway I figured I might as well check on the score. Just I was turning on the TV, Marion Barber was running out of bounds at the 24 yard line.
"Holy Sh*t!" I think to myself.
The very next play, Terry Glenn scores a touchdown. Then there is a kickoff (I was surprised there was no onside kick) and then on the next play there was this:
Mrs Johnnymac was a little annoyed with the noise I made, but can you blame me?
UPDATE: I didn't catch it, but did Al Michaels make one of his typical enigmatic allusions to the point spread when it flipped? I know that I was thinking to myself that the people who hung tight at MGM or Bellagio or Mirage were probably going nuts. Wow.
