20 Amazing Minutes


Inky and I were witness to 20 amazing minutes of sport on Monday night from 11:37 to 11:57. I drew up an event by event list of what went down as we sat watching Game 4 of the ALDS and MNF.

  • 11:37 With one out in the bottom of the 9th, Bobby Abreu hits a bomb to right to make it 6-4 Indians.

  • 11:38 Dallas, down 8 is driving inside the Buffalo half of the feild

  • 11:39 A-Rod pops up in his last atbat as a Yankee. Bombers down to their last out.

  • 11:40 Tony Romo seems to forget that he has turned the ball over 6 times, finds Jason Whitten for a first down

  • 11:41 Jorge Posada hits a ball to New Jersey, but it is 4 feet foul.

  • 11:42 Posada makes the last out, and the Indians win the series 3-1

  • 11:43 Tony Romo throws a TD to Patrick Crayton

  • 11:44 Romo's two point pass to TO is on the mark, but it is knocked away. Bills 24 Boys 22

  • 11:46 Buffalo somehow allows Dallas to get the onside kick!?!

  • 11:48 Booth review to see if the onside kick went 10 yards, it's really obvious that it did.

  • 11:50 Romo throws to TO, who looks like he made the catch but once again it goes to the booth

  • 11:53 The booth rules no catch, Dallas has 13 seconds and 50 yards to go. They can't win can they?

  • 11:54 A short pass to Barber III who gets out of bounds, and now they would have a 61 yard FG.

  • 11:55 Another short pass, to Crayton this time who gets out of bounds at the 35 with 2 seconds left.

  • 11:56 The kick is good, but the Bills called Time Out. Folk has been iced.

  • 11:57 Folk dosen't mind the ice, and knocks the 53 yarder through again for an amazing Monday night win. Maybe not as amazing as the Skins 14-13 win over the Cowboys in '05, but pretty amazing.
I just don't know how Buffalo managed to lose that game. It all turned on 3rd and goal when Edwards threw a pick when they should have just run and settled for a FG that would have put them up 27-16 with less then 5 minutes. As for the Yankees, good riddance. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I hate the Yankees and Cowboys more than any two teams in the world, so at least the one in the game of importance lost tonight.
