For Keith
Hey, NY's got to win once in awhile:
Yips! from Robbo: Heh. No offense, Gary, but I think I would rather see Favre going up against the Pats than Eli.
the resemblance of Carl's body hair to my own is uncanny....
Posted by: Keith S. at January 15, 2008 09:00 PMThe Cowboy/Giants game reminded me of a horse race I saw at Fairgrounds, Thanksgiving weekend 2004. Totally fixed. That first score by the Giants- I could have made the tackle and I'm an amateur; so why couldn't the professional make it?
There were other plays I could cite. A month after that race at Fairgrounds I watched the Miami Dolphins beat the Super Bowl champs, the New England Patriots, and I had an epiphany. Any
sport that can be bet, can and will be fixed. Fixing a football game is a rather simple thing; almost a simple as fixing a horse race. I have sympathy for those earnest dupes with integrity. Guys such as T.O. and Romo.

Men such as T.O. and Romo and others. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it was fixed (the Cowboys/Giants game, nor the Patriots/Dolphins game; the horse race was fixed), just that the game reminded me of a fixed horse race I once saw.
