Last night, I was watching the AFC Championship game between the Indianapolis Colts and the New England Patriots. Late in the second quarter the Patriots jumped out to a 21-3 lead, and the Colts looked terrible.

Sensing another blowout, I turned off the set and read a book.

So, what did I miss? Oh, just the greatest comeback in conference championship history, capped by a touchdown with about a minute left, followed by Brady marching his team back down the field, only to throw an interception to end their season.

Indianapolis Colts: 38
New England Patriots: 34


Sad thing? It was a book I've read before.

Wow...looks like a good book! Warfare in Quebec, huh? Too funny....I was just saying we should let Quebec separate. Then we could invade, take it back over, and make English the primary language! lmao Just kidding.......sorta. ;-p

The horror....the horror.....

I think I may have to check out his books! Hopefully I can get past the whole Quebec thing... ;-p I'm only kinda kidding...I'm fairly bitter about many things Quebecois, which is funny, given that I was born in Montreal. My secret shame.... lmao
