but you lost

The phrase I said most often last night that was directed at the television: “But you lost!” This is just like that time when the Arizona Cardinals and Detroit Lions played in the conference championship. It was historic these two long-suffering franchises were one step away from the Super Bowl. And remember the final score?! Detroit won, 54-51. Wow! It was the most points ever scored in a conference championship game. But what was really odd was when the Clintons Cardinals refused to leave the field. Even though the game was over and they had 45 points on the scoreboard to the opponents’ 48 points, they argued they were still the better team … because they were favored before the game, because they scored more touchdowns rather than field goals, because their head coach had won a Super Bowl before, blah, blah, blah. Late addition, since I almost forgot that strange part where the losing team’s quarterback felt entitled to go on to the Super Bowl as the backup quarterback for the winning team.

One thought on “but you lost

  1. Rev. Bob says:

    Good thing you were talking about the Lions and not the Redwings. I think Jan would be a bit sensitive about that at the moment.

    As for the “Cardinals”, it’s just sad. Whether it’s denial, or positioning for VP, or trying to get their debts paid to drop out; it’s just plain sad. The one good thing is people get to see that Obama has class through all this.
