TD #2

Brady just tossed another TD, and I win the league!

Things were looking pretty bleak for me yesterday. I was down by 30 points, with only my defense and QB left to play. Fortunately I have the Chicago D, the most valuable "player" in the league and a total rock. They got me 19 points yesterday against Green Bay, so I knew I had a chance.

Sadly, tonight is the end of Monday Night Football on ABC. I grew up with it. I remember so many great games, many of them Dolphin games. The Dolphins are my favorite team (the first year I watched football as a child, living in Florida, was 1972, when they went undefeated) and they have played on MNF 70 times, which is more than any other team. Only the Cowboys are close, with 66.

I found out that John Lennon had died from Howard Cosell, during a Dolphins-Patriots game. I saw the famous game in 1986 where the Dolphins beat the then-undefeated Chicago Bears to ruin their perfect season. (A lot of other people did too -- it was the highest-rated regular-season game of all time). I saw Redskins QB Joe Theismann get his leg snapped like a twig by Lawrence Taylor of the Giants.

I guess I can get used to watching it on ESPN.
