The Legend Continues...

A few weeks ago, we got an e-mail from SJHJR24 detailing how he enjoyed reading about "the legend" of The Playmaker. (He was undoubtedly just being polite!)

Anyway, the legend continued last night. The Playmaker's Packer flag football team trailed 25-20 with three minutes to play. Two incomplete passes later, we faced a third down with just over a minute to play. (Flag football = running time.) Barry Switzer would have called it Sooner Magic (think Keith Jackson making a circus catch with 30 seconds left to set up a game winning field goal against Nebraska in 1985). The Playmaker ran a simple 10 yard button hook, caught the ball cleanly and then hauled-ass down the center of the field the remaining 30 yards to score as time expired! 26-25, Packers!

Never has a World Series loss mattered so little as last night. When Your Kid scores the winning play, all is right in the world.
