ProBowl Ruminations

As I spend my Sunday morning getting my final taste of football for the season (and a little taste of home), these quick thoughts struck me:

- Laughed out loud when after RB Larry Johnson was obliterated in the backfield Dan Dierdorf asked "was he tackled? or absorbed?"

- 1st quarter and Dan Dierdorf talks about how the guys in the trenches play all out...snap...and all 9 lineman stand straight up and mosey around while the NFC runs a pass play....hee hee

- Bulger drops the ball w/o being touched?? C'mon dude...don't give it away....

- Hitting does exist in the ProBowl (I still remember some of Dawkins big hits from a few years ago)

- Want to take bets on the most replayed highlight from today's game...little doubt in my mind; AFC Punter Brian Moorman just got annihilated by Washington's Sean Taylor on a fake punt...
BTW - CBS carried the call in Japanese as well...after you hear the NHK announcers go "OOOO" you know big hits translate to any language...

- Ok all you Romosexuals...Dallas QB Tony Romo has been just this side of pathetic...and what the fuck did he do to deserve playing the entire second half? Real coaching genius that Sean Payton...Romo couldn't even engineer a scoring drive after Chicago's great return man Devin Hester set up the NFC inside the 25! They the NFC gets the ball at the 11 on a fumble and the only reason they score is because of Steven Jackson's never-say-die attitude....and FINALLY, a decent pass by TR and Boldin scores on a nifty shift and scoot down the sideline...Cool...

- Game ends, AFC wins 31-28...what a cheesy way to end the game on a gimme FG after a Pass Interference penalty on the NFC...dang...had a chance for real drama...
