Destiny?

You knew a post had to come of the crazy and I mean crazy events of Monday night. I had a softball game and successfully pulled off the DVR/catchup to live TV/swith to HD trick without hearing one score. Here is my story and thoughts, please share yours.

So as I'm sitting on my couch fast forwarding through commercials and dead time, every time I stopped for the game..BOOM Romo throws an INT! After pick #1 ok, Monday night crowd he's amped up, no worries. Pick #2? Starting to get a little mad, some yelling. Pick #3?!! 4 punches into the couch and some #$%$@* (PG of course). I can't remember which ones turned into touchdowns, too many to remember. So then along comes pick #4 towards the end of the first half and I'm just sick, is this my Romo? what happened to his jedi powers? So I finally get to half time and we still are close despite the failure of Tiffany's sweet Romo.

At this point, I'm caught up to live TV, and can check messages. Matt sends a message. "Did you forget to tell your boy Romo to pull his head out before the game?" So I call him and we gripe and yell and I tell him to put a pillow on the couch to punch so he doesn't have another Miami-A&M hole in the wall punch. So we agree its not over, but are mad. So the 'Boys mess around some more score a couple times, allow a kick return, etc. Things still aren't looking good. Then we get huge INT by Newman, we are in business (small squeals of joy) Then Romo causes more explictives and punch by INT #5, we're done...this sucks.

So finally, down by 8 with 1 minute to go, Romo's powers return, 80 yard drive, TD boom back in it. Then TO can't pull in the 2 point conversion...ok..now we are done. I walk into the other room and then come back. Many went to bed. (including Kristin)

I hung in there, why not right? Stranger things have happened. So our rookie kicker executes a flawless onside kick, we recover! Sheers of screams and jumping now at my house. (Good thing Ryan is in Amarillo, he would have awoken at least 10 times with yells of fury and screams of joy) We get it back..long pass..TO...in FG range! Nope TO dropped it..again. Ok..still have time two quick out routes (Romo is the man again) we are in range, time for the rookie kicker. He comes in, BAM 53 yarder on the money! Loud yells of joy!! I can't believe my eyes!! Why aren't the refs signalling a good FG? It went in! The Bills coach called a chicken you know what timeout and we have to do it again. No big deal. Nick Folk, says no problem I have ice in my blood, and he does it again!! JOY!!! My phone rings Matt and I have a virtual man hug and jump up and down like 3rd grade girls and squeel, we are in disbelief. I call Dad...leave a message this is great!! Matt calls back..more screaming. I then get a text message at 11:45 5 hours before Matt has to get up for work, he's still up "Destiny, this is the only thing that can explain it."

Maybe he's right. Who knows, but for one night, this was a game to remember and I still love me some Romo, he came back and showed what he's made of. But the sports man crush of the week goes to Nick Folk.

Now its time for Patriots, I'm a little scared, but hey...it'll be fun. Check out this letter an ESPN guy wrote to Bill Belichick on Romo...can't wait for Sunday! Go Cowboys!!
