I nearly popped a blood vessel in my forehead from screaming in jubilation at the site of seeing Nick Folk kick not one but two 53 yard field goals dead center through the uprights with :02 left in the Cowboys/Bills game on Monday Night Football. That brings my Cowboys to 5-0 with New England and Indianapolis as the only two other undefeated NFL teams. Two reasons this game was better, to me, than December 29th’s Insight Bowl between Texas Tech and Minnesota: 1.) I’ve been a Cowboy fan much longer than Red Raider and 2.) I got to watch the whole thing as it happened. The verdict may be slightly different if I had seen the bowl game as it was happening, but alas, I had more important things going on, trust me. So in the immortal words of one Jimmy Johnson, “How ‘Bout Them Cowboys!”
I woke the house, sprained a finger tip clapping and bruised my righthand on my wedding ring.
I was in a foul mood throughout, but was determined to watch the entire second half.
Felt sorry for the diehard Bills fans, but liked the ending though.
Dad,
That is awesome, I’m glad you were determined to watch the whole game. I was watching the game upstairs and my roommates stopped watching the game downstairs with about 5 mins left to start watching our dvr’d episode of Heroes. They thought something was wrong and ran upstairs when I started screaming.
