After my business today, I went over to the local K-Mart to check out the TV section (and it's NFL coverage).
They had Denver-San Diego on, and, lo and behold, Tebow Time was in full effect with a 4th quarter comeback. However, just after the 2 minute warning, they had to settle for a tying field goal.
So Rivers and crew get the ball back and make one nice first down -- only to get sacked on a BLATANT HORSECOLLAR TACKLE WITH NO CALL!
The sacking Bronco puts his hand right inside the neck collar of Philip Rivers and uses that to help down Rivers. If that's not a Horse Collar, that's definitely Roughing the Passer.
At that point, both teams kinda agree to overtime. Denver wins the toss, the ref can't get the rules straight, and, after a couple of tries, San Diego looks to be in position to win, until they get so conservative that they turn a 48 yarder into a 52 yarder.
Missing that, I don't need to tell you. Tebow for one first down, McGahee for a second, 16-13, and the Broncos are 5-1 under Tebow.
And I called it and people laughed at me. They stopped laughing with about 30 seconds to go in the overtime.
