OK, everyone call me an idiot.

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.

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
