Well, it's getting down to that part of the NFL season where the table has to be set.
So when 3-6 Denver went up 20-0 and 23-7 at 7-2 Minnesota, one would have to wonder.
Seven minutes of the fourth quarter later, Minnesota leads 27-23 and doesn't look back.
Gee, wouldn't you know who won the pony...

And now Arizona is 16-0 up at San Francisco this week...

By the way, a little exposition on the title...
Jim Cornette actually told this story on one of his sixteen podcasts.
In the 1950's, often to bring fans to the wrestling events, the promoters of professional wrestling would hold raffles. One time, not sure year or location, they raffled off a pony.
The problem? The promoter's son won the pony, and, when it was announced?
"Wouldn't you know who won the pony???"
They seem to be scripting way more games than in previous years. The NFC playoff race seems to be set;only question is the seeding. The AFC is keeping a few more teams close to keep it interesting.
ReplyDeleteLet's see (I know I'm doing a post on that tonight...):
DeleteSF and Seattle out of the West
NO out of the South
GB and Minny out of the North
About the only question is Dallas or Philly. Rest do seem to be locked in, but the question IS order.
It seems to be Dallas right now in the East. They have a good chance in NE this Sunday if they don't get raped by Cheatdell and his clown officials.
DeleteYeah, it's probably Dallas in the East -- see their ratings.
DeleteThe problem, though, is that it appears there are several teams ahead of them if we want to start talking Miami on the first Sunday of February!
