NFL Champsionship Weekend Recap

Hasn't been a recap in a while, most of the games we saw before this weekend sucked.

Jets v Cotls
I was suprised to see the Jets jump out to a lead greater than 10 points in the 2nd quarter. I was pretty sure Peyton would adjust but I still wasn't expecting it. I would have been losing it if I bet $1,000 or $3,000. Then on the Colts next 2 drives they scored TDs. At that point we all knew it was a wrap for the Jets.

Vikings v Saints
The most memorable part of this game, possibly due to intoxication was the phone call Ace received saying "We got escorted out of the sportsbook and asked never to return again."

This was the shootout we were all expecting. I almost lost my voice between reacting to the TV and arguing with Ace over TO's time in Dallas, btw Ace are you at least ready to admit that TO's ab workout occurred while he was with the Eagles?

Bret Favre got pumelled, I thought they were going to flag Darren Sharper for what I think was the most painful hit of the day. Oh well, glad they didn't.
Reggie Bush's fumble was horrible but the Vikings fumbled to give the ball back.
Adrian Peterson had 3 TDs and 3 fumbles, 1.5 fumbles lost. The exchange fumble is also Favre's fault.
Favre made the biggest mistake of the game, with his team in FG range he threw a TD instead of getting rid of the ball.

I must admit that I wasn't sure who was going to win this game. I am glad I don't have to hear about Favre in the Super Bowl, just retirement talk.

Quick Vegas Recap
The streak has not been broken, but I was impressed
2 for 2 (this is how many times I have won when gambling in Vegas...)
Apparently I need to learn how to play craps
Learn when to walk away from the table as I did
Keep your bet tickets in a safe place so you don't lose out on $200
If both man and wingman took one for the team what was the point?
Trip felt like the Hangover, there are so many missing pieces
The 2 day Vegas trip might be better than 3
