Hale fellows, expert analysts, rehabbers and recent parolees:
Luckily, two scenarios did not happen for the playoffs.
I am talking about New Orleans not making the playoffs and the Skins, who did but were sent home by the . . . mighty Seahawks.
First, New Orleans. Can you imagine the hype machine of the networks and the NFL had these Saints gotten into the playoffs?
I could just hear it now: From the ashes and mold and water-logged region decimated by Hurricane Katrina, arose these mighty Saints. Undaunted by the misery and suffering around them and cheered by a population who was down but not out, arising like the wet Phoenix from a horrific act of nature. Now the Saints have rolled up their sleeves after two years and have rekindled a spirit in Nawlins, yada-yada-yada.
Ugh. Too maudlin and hokey to contemplate. Glad these Aints stayed home.
The Commanders: Playing on pure emotion and adrenalin after the heartbreaking demise of one of their comrades, the Skins have marched through the playoffs, pausing only to wipe away the tears that won't stop for their sainted Sean Taylor. The safety, who was rumored to be a front-runner for the Nobel Peace Prize and Humanitarian of the Decade by various groups, was cut down in his prime but left a legacy of leadership for his teammates. "I know that Sean was looking down upon us today, calling the plays, setting up the defense and exhorting us to 'keep on keeping on.' We shalll forever play in his light and spirit," a proud but weeping Joe Gibbs told reporters. After we rename the stadium and the city in his honor, we will go on . . . somehow," he said, falling to the ground on his knees and crying "Oh, why! Oh, why?"
sigh
And, if the mighty Seahawks cannot tame the Packers, look for this scenario:
From the frozen trundra, the dean of ALL quarterbacks and the man who singlehandedly brought back pride to Green Bay and jump-started the city's economy, Brett Favre has dumbfounded all the experts who said he was finished. Also rumored to be a front-runner for the Nobel Prize in economics and humanitarianism, Favre continues to empower every man past 35 who believes that his best days are over. Favre is not only the best Quarterback in the history of the NFL and the world, he's also Newsweek's man of the Year and named Fisherman of the Year by the Deep South Bass Fishers and Beer drinkers. Please pause while we honor this player, who is almost a God to all NFL fans, at halftime . . .
yada-yada-yada
It could happen . . . .
