It's The End of The World

Don't you just hate it when you get your hopes up, and you're all excited and happy, and then the tide turns and you watch you hopes and dreams crash down around you? Well, that's exactly how I felt when the Packers lost in overtime to the Arizona Cardinals, after coming all the way back from a 21-point disadvantage.

We blew past all opposition and doubt, beating the likes of Dallas, Baltimore, and coming this close to beating Pittsburgh, with Aaron Rodgers, Charles Woodson, and Donald Driver having phenomenal seasons, and the last play of the year is an interception for an Arizona touchdown. The shame.


At first the game looked like it would be a blowout. We were down by at least 17 points throughout the first half, but we managed to tie the game at the end of the third quarter, and when the Cardinals scored a touchdown late in the fourth, we marched right down the field and evened up the score once more.

Alas, our joy was short-lived, for they in turn marched right down the field and got in perfect position for an easy field goal with 14 seconds to go in the game (At this point I was so frustrated with our suddenly atrocious pass defense that I couldn't bear to watch anymore and I went upstairs to take a shower. A bit disloyal, maybe, but it was to painful to watch). My dad tells me that hope was rekindled when Arizona missed the field goal, bringing the game into overtime.

He was doubly excited when we won the coin toss and elected to receive the ball. The game nearly ended with a bomb to Jennings for a touchdown, but the ball was slightly overthrown. And then. . . all our hopes were foiled when Aaron Rodgers threw an interception for - never mind, I can't bear to even type it. It's best that we just forget about the game and focus on the fact that Charles Woodson was named Defensive MVP of The Year!


I knew that he would win. He had a career-high 9 interceptions this year, 4 forced fumbles, 2 sacks, and 74 tackles. He also was elected to the Pro Bowl. He's probably my favorite Packer.

Another good thing about this football Sunday was that the Patriots lost to the Ravens! I hope those cheaters never win another Super Bowl with Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, or Randy Moss. They are conceited, vain, self-centered crybabies. As I always say, cheaters never prosper.

Well, we had an awesome season overall. It may not have ended the way we wanted, but there certainly were a lot of highlights. We'll get 'em next year.
