Limping to the Finish Line
When I was at Fritz's Saturday they had the Pittsburgh/Jacksonville game on. I'll tell ya, I was pullin' for those Steelers. And for just a moment there, I thought they just might win.
As the final whistle blew I looked at Fritz and just told him, "that right there seals the deal on the Bucs. There are NEVER 2 winning Florida teams."
But still......I held out a grain of hope.......
As I was watching the pregame on Sunday, all they could talk about was the trash talk that happened a few days before the game.
That, in itself was not surprising. Hell, it's one of the things I usually enjoy the most about the game.
Until I heard that it was Ronde Barber.
Ronde? Trash talking?!?
So....here is my response to THAT:
Dear Ronde,
You know I just admire you to pieces. I tell EVERYONE what a nice boy you are - on and off the field.
But Dude. Seriously. You? Trash talkin'? Against the GIANTS?!?!
What were you thinking?!
First off....you really don't do it very well. Seriously. Even *I* was laughing at you.
Second.....you brought it on yourself. You threw down the gauntlet in a year where we're strugglin' (and having nothing to really brag about in the first place) and by golly they picked it up. And wiped our asses with it.
So don't. Stop it. It's just not YOU.
Not to mention if you're gonna talk the talk, you damned well better be able to walk the walk. And right now? Yeah, it's been a limpin' kind of year.......
Sincerely
Tammi
