It’s been a pretty shitty two days in Denver. First, on Sunday, on the day of the Lord, the Rockies get swept in the World Series and then have to endure an assload of Massholes rioting in their streets, running around acting a fool. It really looked like they were celebrating as if the Catholic Church’s abuse scandal had just been thrown out of court. Then, tonight, they lose a heartbreaker in overtime to the Green Bay Packers on the Hagiography edition of Monday Night Football on ESPN.
To be fair though, Favre did play well, though the red zone touchdown conversions proved to be rather elusive for the Packers tonight resulting in two field goals. In fact, Favre’s two touchdown passes came from so damn far out of the red zone (82-yards and 79-yards), you have to wonder if the red zone is Favre’s Kryptonite.
The Packers also controlled the line of scrimmage and was able to run the ball effectively for the first time this season.
I totally got choked up and maybe even cried a little bit the two times they played Deanna’s video package on Favre. Later on, in the booth, she came off a little bit tentative. Vince Vaughn was also disappointing though his characterization about his Bears that “they have some injuries and they’re having some problems” was priceless.
