Free Write

I love football. It's far and beyond my favorite sport. Usually which level (high school, college, pro) is most exciting varies from weekend to weekend. This weekend it was pro. The Arizona Cardinals beat the Dallas Cowboys in Overtime on a blocked punt return TD, the first time in NFL history. The 0-4 St. Louis Rams beat the 4-1 Washington Redskins with a 49-yard field goal as time expired to get their first win. The 0-4 Houston Texans got their first win on a last second quarterback sneak as time expired against the Miami Dolphins. The Atlanta Falcons fell behind with 11 seconds left only to rally with a quick pass from rookie QB Matt Ryan and a 48-yard field goal as time expired to steal a victory from the Chicago Bears. And when everybody thought it was over, the Cleveland Browns, with only one win this season, upset the unbeaten defending Super Bowl Champion New York Giants in an absolute blowout. Whew, I don't think there'll ever be as good of football weekend.
