Today's Agenda: The Harbaugh Disappointment

                      All I can say after watching today's NFC and AFC Championship games is wow..................I haven't seen a pair of more outrageous, and upsetting surprise losses in a long time...The last time, ironically, was probably the New York Giants Superbowl win over the Patriots 4 years ago.  Unfortunately, the two teams that really deserved to go to the Superbowl this year were the two that were knocked out,  much to the shock and dissapointment from their fans nationwide.
                     If you happen to live under a rock, or for some reason don't like football(which is a shock and outrage by itself), then you know that those two teams were the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens.  Although the 49ers were the easily the biggest story in sports this post season, earning 8 more wins this year than last year(1 being a post season game this year), an equally intriguing event was just one win away for both the Ravens and Niners:  THE HARBAUGH SUPERBAUGH.......  I mean Superbowl.
                    For those of you not keeping up, both these team's head coaches are John and Jim Harbaugh, which also happen to be the only two brothers in NFL History serving as head coach at the same time.  History was already made when the two teams played against each other earlier this season.  So you can imagine the intense and exciting sibling rivalry that the world could have had the pleasure of seeing play out on the field in Indianapolis 2 weeks from now.  In the final seconds of both games, these two teams were both presented with and excellent opportunity to take control and win(or tie in Baltimore's case).  Both teams were cheated out of their chance at the biggest game of the year, because of the huge, inexcusable errors made by a single individual on their respective teams.
                    First, there was the missed field goal by Baltimore's kicker from a short, easy 32 yards away, which as we all know is generally a chip shot and a for sure thing in most cases.  The ball went wide left, and every persons on the Ravens sideline dropped their head in disappointment, while the word "Bullshit" could be seen mouthed by John Harbaugh.  This team fought hard this year, and had a great season record.  They deserved their chance at greatness far more than Tom Brady and the emotionless Bill Pelachik, or however you spell it.  As the ball missed, Pelachik's face did not change expression in the slightest, probably due to the fact he's been to 7 of the past 13 Superbowls, and it's just become like routine to him.  I for one and sick and tired of having to see Tom Brady's mongoloid looking face hoisting up Championship trophies year after year.  It's no fun to see the same team play every year, they might as well change the name from the Superbowl to the "Bill Palechik NFL Challenge."
                 

                   Then, with an even more outrageously terrible display of athletic skill, Kyle Williams of the 49ers fumbles the ball on a punt return, after the Niner defense was able to pull together and stop a possible game winning drive from the Giants in overtime.  San Francisco forcing that punt was the single most important defensive stop for them in the entire game, and put them just about 50 yards away from a David Akers game winner, and the one player that they entrusted to hold to the ball, and possibly their 6th Superbowl Championship, singlehandedley loses the game, and ends a more than impressive season for one of the greatest comback stories i've seen in football..........It's just sad.
                   Now, anybody reading this who's read my stuff before or knows me personally might be a little confused at the moment, because it's a well known fact that, being an Oakland fan, I naturally despise the 49ers.  I do however respect great teams, great coaching, and outstanding effort, and honestly wouldn't have minded much to see San Francisco play either the Patriots or Baltimore.  I may have rooted for Baltimore in the Superbowl, but would have been all Niners against the Patriots, because I can never get enough of seeing Tom Brady's face when he loses a Superbowl.  Let's hope that Eli Manning can produce a repeat of Superbowl 42, and provide us with another last minute upset win.
                  Let me know what you guys think about what happened in todays games.

  2. Thank you very much, I really appreciate that. I've switched up my format a bit, and I think It's earning me a little more respect and viewers, since my blogs don't just pertain to a certain category of readers anymore.

  3. I also like the new format better and I find your writting style interesting and that it adds an artistic touch to the topics you write about. I can't really comment to much on this blog because I'm really not that knowledgeable on football, but from what I had a chance to watch it seemed intense. I was hoping to see SF win. Maybe next year. -Bri
