watching? Without question it was during a blizzard-like Saturday night sitting in Atlas Sports Bar in Boston with about 1,500 maniacs who had been drinking since 3 in the afternoon. I watched the Pats somehow put up almost 250 passing yards in the second half alone, Sloth Brady scramble for a touchdown, have an obvious fumble overruled becuase of some loophole in the rulebook, and see a line-drive duck 45yard fieldgoal somehow stay in the air long enough to put the game into overtime. That was the most insane game I've ever seen.
Playing it was in a hockey game that was tied with 4 seconds left. It was a roundrobin tourney, so we had to win the game to make the playoffs, and couldn't settle for the tie. The faceoff was outside their blue line. With our goalie pulled our center won the faceoff took a quick shot on net; I made a beeline for the net, and I dove in and roofed the game winning goal. Pure elation. Then it turns out that the scorekeeper had never started the clock after the faceoff, and one ref called off the goal. A big pow-wow ensued and after like 10 minutes of agony they came back and allowed it. We won, blah blah blah. Looking back on the tape, the play took like six seconds and we shouldn't have won. But it was so fucking sweet. I was a Golden God.
