Teetime213, after reading your comment about maybe doing battle again, It reminded me of Rocky: "Ain't gonna be no rematch," "Don't want one." So here's my take on last week's match.
Rocky !! Rocky is one of my favorite movies. It’s a simple love story about two have nots with plenty of boxing stuff thrown in to keep the guys interested. Apollo Creed gives the unknown Italian Stallion a chance at the heavyweight crown. No one had ever gone the distance with the champ, but after 15 rounds of a gutsy, rock-em sock-em slugfest, Rocky was still standing in the corner of the ring.
Beat up, sweaty, bloody, with a broken nose, his face puffed up and eyes a mere slit, Rocky hollered at the arena for his girl…”ADRIAN !!! ADRIAN !!!.” The plain Jane girl pushed her way towards the ring calling back “ Rocky !! Rocky!!” She finally made it into the ring with the help of her brother Paulie. They embraced and Rocky says “Where’s your hat?” Adrian says “I love you.” Rocky replies. “No, I love you.”
Well Rocky lost the fight, but he got his girl. Rocky wins.
I was in a bit of a slug-fest with Ceasaers Pale A$$’s last week. I was the underdog going in, but was ready for the battle. The game went back and forth throughout the day, leaving us tied at 91 to 91 with both of having 3 players each for Sunday / Monday night. Then the Pale A$$’s sent in a couple of old men to beat me up.
I was hoping to bob & weave against Brady (36 years old) and Gonzalez (37 years old) for minimal damage, and to look for my man Jimmy Graham to give another great game.
Then BAM !!! The old man receiver Nate Washington came up with the best game of his career. 22 points !! It was a left hook I didn't see coming. I was down for the count. 121 points is pretty good, but 153 points is better.
Well okay, it’s just one loss, the first scratch on a new car. Time to look over the roster and get ready for next week. Wait a minute, guess who’s got a bye? My first round, numero uno RB, Mr. Peterson. I stood alone by my lap top and hollered at the world , “ADRIAN !! ADRIAN !!”
Unlike Rocky, I not only lost the fight, I also lost Adrian.
Enjoy the gamespeople. I have a lot of fun with this. Jack,
