San Francisco 49ers: 39
New York Giants: 38


That was, without a doubt, the best, weirdest, wildest, most exciting football game I have ever seen. It had everything: break-away plays, stunning errors, lapses of concentration, broken scrambles, heroes, villains and a heart-stopping finish!

The Niners fell behind 38-14 in the 3rd quarter. It looked like we were out of it. And then it started. The Niners collectively woke up. The defense became like iron, the offense not only fired on all cylinders, but added the JATO pack.

38-22

38-30

38-33

Then with one minute left in the game, Garcia hits Tai Streets to make it 39-38. We tried for our third 2-point conversion of the game, but failed. Then came the Giants' final drive.

It looked like they were going to get in range for a winning field goal.. and with six seconds left, on third down, they lined up for a 41-yard field goal.

And the snap was bad! In a terrible flashback to another famous flubbed FG attempt, the holder, rather than spiking the ball to stop the clock so they could kick again, tried to run the ball and throw a pass to a lineman who was illegally downfield.

Time expires, the Niners win in the second greatest comeback in playoff history.

Combined with an almost as amazing Browns - Steelers game earlier, this was one of the better days of football I've ever seen.

Bring on Tampa Bay!

GO NINERS!!!!

The Plan

In the beginning, there was a plan,
And then came the assumptions,
And the assumptions were without form,
And the plan without substance,

And the darkness was upon the face of the NCOs,
And they spoke among themselves saying,
"It is a fucking crock of shit and it stinks."

And the NCOs went unto their Platoon Leaders and said,
"It is a pile of dung, and we cannot live with the smell."

And the Platoon Leaders went unto their Company Commanders saying,
"It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, Such that none may abide by it."

And the Company Commanders went unto their Battalion Staff saying,
"It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by its strength."

And the Battalion Staff spoke among themselves saying to one another,
"It contains that which aids plants growth, and it is very strong."

And the Battalion Staff went to the Battalion Commanders saying unto them,
"It promotes growth, and it is very powerful."

And the Battalion Commanders went to the Brigade CO, saying unto him,
"This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor of the Unit With very powerful effects."

And the Brigade CO looked upon the Plan
And saw that it was good,
And the Plan became Policy.

And this, my friends, is how shit happens in the US Army.

**** THE PROOF THAT Gridlore IS EVIL ****

G R I D L O R E
71 82 73 68 76 79 82 69 - as ASCII values
8 1 1 5 4 7 1 6 - digits added
\_____/ \_____/ \_____/ \_____/
9 6 2 7 - digits added

Thus, "Gridlore" is 9627.


Multiply the number by 002 - this is the symbol of greed, from right to left. It gives 19254.

Turn the number backwards, and add 1889 - the year Adolf Hitler was born. The number is now 47180.

Divide by 7, the sacred number of Illuminati - the result is 6740.

Turn the number backwards, subtract 3 - the symbol of fulfillment. The number is now 473.

Turn the number backwards, and add 1947 - the year Aleister Crowley paid a longer visit to hell. The number is
now 2321.

This, when read backwards, gives 1232. This is 666 in octal, the number of the Beast...

Evil, QED.
