Coolest Touchdown Ev-ah
We were so happy about the New England Patriots’ 31-20 playoff win over the Jacksonville Jaguars that we had a hard time settling down to sleep Saturday night. (And yet that lack of sleep didn’t sap our energy: We definitely had enough pep Sunday to do cartwheels when the Indianapolis Colts lost to the San Diego Chargers. More on that later this week when we examine Peyton Manning’s overexposure . . .)
Anyway . . . no matter what side of the Love The Patriots/Hate the Patriots Debate you call home, you have to admit it: Tom Brady’s TD pass to Wes Walker in the third quarter. Was. Absolutely. Undoutbedly. Awesome.
The best quality video of the Statue of Liberty-style play is here on the NFL site (35s, preceded by a 19-s ad). This wasn’t embed-able—ooh, we could have fun with that newly-coined adjective—but it’s really worth checking out. Wow!
Oh, and we should not that we apparently don’t speak for everyone with that “Wow!” Reggie Nelson, a safety for the Jags, said of Brady, “He ain’t all that . . . He’s alright.”
No, really. Nelson said that. You can stop giggling now.
We’re not going to get our jock strap in a bunch about Nelson’s sour grapes remarks (read more here). First of all, chicks don’t wear jock straps. Second, Nelson is a rookie and thus wet behind the ears when it comes to giving sound bites to the press following a season-ending loss. Third, and most importantly, the Colts lost. Indeed, we’re just so pleased about it that we’re going to give the Jag newbie a special dispensation to commemorate the occasion.
